This study examines the use of the dialectical method developed by the authors, which allows us to derive ontological levels through the principle of mutual reflection of entities and their negations. The methodological basis of the study includes natural philosophical approaches that take into account modern achievements of natural science with the principles of quantum mechanics. The process of formation of the system of ontological levels in "reflections" illustrates the transition from the static Absolute-First Principle to God the Father. The reverse reflection of the mind that has cognized God leads to the emergence of an immortal soul that exists not in the material body, but in the transcendental world of the Spirit, in the Kingdom of the Father. The Father is ready to fulfill the will of those who are "born from above" (John 3: 5). Thus, human free will is realized through alignment with the will of God: at the request of his "children" born into Eternity, God changes Providence, and the world is transformed without the direct intervention of the Spirit in matter. The world being, like all the higher ontological levels, exists “inside” God, and not outside of it, as is often assumed in various philosophical systems. It is a picture of the development of worlds that exists in the “imagination” of God. The worlds act as peculiar mirrors in which God contemplates Himself. These reflections acquire independent and eternal life in the eternal “memory” of God, which is the Kingdom of Heaven, also existing “inside” God, and not “outside” Him. At the same time, the development of worlds in the “imagination” of God and their presence in His eternal memory are two sides of the same process that do not interact directly. This approach develops a consistent concept of the existence of the world as a reflection of God in Himself, and Salvation as the eternal presence of a mature personality in the memory of God, which is the essence of the Kingdom of Heaven.
