Mythology and religions as ultimate grounds for developing the concepts of existence and being

The article substantiates the feasibility of presenting the ultimate grounds of existence and being in the context of the world coordinate system based on the ultimate dynamic equilibria. This is quite justified, because the mythological consciousness, religious experience and practices are directed towards the ultimate states of human. Interconnected relative equilibria as a frame of reference for world processes are most natural, since their self-organization is a transition from one equilibrium state to another. One of these ultimate dynamic equilibria corresponds to spirituality, which is a fundamental characteristic of the structural level of the world associated with human. Spirituality is a complementary equilibrium between all subsystems of the “I” and, first of all, the four main ones: body, consciousness, subconscious, and super-conscious. Spirituality is a balance in all of these subsystems, as well as between them. In a spiritual person, all these subsystems must be in harmony: the body and consciousness - healthy, the subconscious - well organized and controlled consciousness, the super-conscious (cultural codes, religion, ideology, ethnos traditions) humanistic, that is, balanced. Spirituality from the point of view of ultimate equilibria seems very simple. Outside, its main parameters remain free will, cultural and secular asceticism and the rhythm of constant wakefulness. The first opens up opportunities for communication with the above-described limits of dynamic equilibria. Asceticism is a bound state of all intellectual, social, individual manifestations of personality. The wakefulness rhythm is the supporting rhythm of the individual, which in its development moves towards the coordinate system of the world. In modern conditions, a broad interpretation of myths and religions related to the ultimate states of their dynamic equilibria should be used. In such a transformation, myths become a powerful tool of modern academic research at the junction of it with extra-scientific knowledge. Religions in accordance with the traditions of Russian philosophy (the concept of all-unity) are focused on combining them with philosophy and science in the framework of the formation of the concept of “Big Mind”.
