Soup

or

Sandwich
Welcome, truth-seeker! If you have made the journey here, this means one of two things:

If you are of the latter predisposition, then you may ask "Enlightened in what way?" And the answer, as it happens, lies within a very simple premise:

Everything in the universe can be categorized as either being a Soup or a Sandwich.

Intuition

Intuition plays a major role within the Soup-Sandwich-dichotomy, as the following examples should show.
If you had to categorize the following as either Soup or Sandwich, what would you pick?

Water Water is a Soup.

A burger A burger is a Sandwich.

A salad A salad is a Soup.

Cheese fondue Cheese fondue is a Soup.

Electricity Electricity is a Soup.

An electron An electron is a Sandwich.

A door A door is a Sandwich.


You may have gotten most or even all of these correctly intuitively, but you still may not be sure why these things are either a Soup or a Sandwich.
That's why this philosophy has several tenets. Each of them will make the logic behind the Soup-Sandwich-dichotomy clearer.
After reading and understanding all of the tenets, you will be fully enlightened.

Tenet #1: Soup is the absence of Sandwich

In the beginning, there was only Soup. The term primordial Soup has been created for a reason.
Then, the first Sandwiches formed.
Given this history of Soup and Sandwich, with Soup being the default state of the universe, it follows that whenever something is not a Sandwich, it is a Soup.

Tenet #2: Soup is chaos, Sandwich is order

As mentioned before in the examples, a salad is a Soup, a burger is a Sandwich.
A core reason for this is the arrangement of the elements of these things.
Salad is always chaotic, there is no fixed order, no strictly-defined up or down.
A burger, on the other hand, is stacked orderly. There is a well-defined up and a well-defined down. The elements of the burger have an order to them that does not change.
This reasoning applies to all Soups and Sandwiches.
Soup is chaos, Sandwich is order.

Tenet #3: Soup is relative

Whether something is a Soup or a Sandwich often depends on the perspective of the beholder.
Water is a Soup. But a singular water atom is a Sandwich. Same goes for electricity and a singular electron.
Or light and a singular photon. There are countless examples of this perspective-based Soupiness.
It just depends on how closely someone looks at something and on what part they put their focus on.

Tenet #4: Humanity strives to turn Soup into Sandwich

Building on the former tenet, this one describes the effect of the inquisitiveness of humans.
First, we only knew water, a Soup. Then we looked more closely and discovered the atom, a Sandwich.
The building blocks of all Soup tend to be Sandwiches. As we learn more about the universe, we understand more about the underlying Sandwiches in each Soup.
At times, we may even discover that what we assumed to be a Sandwich was a Soup after all, but that very same discovery requires the discovery of the individual Sandwich that make up the Sandwich-turned-Soup.
One such example is the discovery of quarks. We initially assumed protons to be a Sandwich, until we discovered that a proton is a Soup. But in that very same moment, we found out that protons are made of quarks, and a singular quark is a Sandwich.
Following this process, we will eventually be able to break down all Soup into its Sandwich constituents.


Final Thoughts

Read those tenets and try to fully understand them. Apply them in your everyday life.
Take just a few minutes out of your day, look at what you see and try to decide whether these things are a Soup or a Sandwich. Trust your intuition and, should that fail, remember the tenets.
Eventually, you will internalize these teachings and you will finally be enlightened.
