The Mundane Consciousness is a perspective in which everything existing in the physical world has no inherent value and consequence. The individual is lost in space without any identity, and is dependent upon name, address, occupation, social and economic status, or any of the requirements of the particular social structure the individual is affiliated with. This unknown content of the natural universe is the absence of any known and certain evaluative context which would explain what anything is and thus how it
may be treated and used. This can include humankind itself. On the
intellectual side, this produces a condition of free will as the absence of prohibitions, in which if entities have no known and certain specific purposes or reasons for being, they may be used in any way deemed desirable. Anything can be used for various ends and agendas. This allows for the complete volitional freedom of the human species without inherent inviolability which would prohibit human exploitation.
The consideration of consequential negation produces an evaluative
dichotomy and polarity between that which is defined as significant and that which is not. Any form of value and consequence or sanctity, including religious sacredness of the individual, must be acquired. The individual is required to conform to specific mandates and qualifications, the obtainment of which bestows upon the individual the validity of consequence.
These contingencies are such things as the acquirement of knowledge, goodness, talent, property, skill, charity or conversion.
Consequence may be achieved by the individual through religion, love, vicarious identification or the material accumulation of physical and intellectual property. In each of these cases, worth is granted to the person from institutional sources outside the individual, premised upon conditions and requirements.
