Thus the Consequence and value of the human existence of the individual may be said to be equal to that of the Whole, such as any or all aspects of the planet, the solar system, galaxy or universe. The value of the individual or of all existence itself, is realized to be whatever the individual thinks or assesses it to be.

Wherein the Mundane Consciousness ascribes contexts of time, duration, limitation, progression or singularity upon all existence, the perspective of Symbolic Consciousness is described by the term Olamic Value, wherein no specific singular, definitive and finite definition and context is ascribed to entities and events. These are open to individual interpretation. Olamic Value derives from the condition of the Absent Determinant. If a tree is not given a utilitarian definition as the context of some purpose it serves like shade, producer of nuts or lumber, then it has no known reason for existence in terms of some result and product, and it cannot be determined exactly what it is by what it is for. Thus it is for the individual to make this determination. Because it is not defined to be any particular one thing, then it can be one or many things, or it can be different things at different times depending upon the interpretation of the individual. This open interpretation allows for the free thinking of the mind and allows the individual the privilege and the responsibility to self-decide what anything is and how it should be used and of what its value and consequence is.

The individual's evaluation, as the value and consequence of things determines the individual's awareness. The vehicle of perspective, that everything is of equal importance in terms of the value of existence, is that everything is equally deserving of recognition, attention, observation and regard.
