The Four Ways

There are only four ways to understand the world: with your senses, feelings, intuitions or intellect.

Scientists consider reality in terms of sensory evidence. Religious believers are people whose faith is driven by their feelings, and by seductive Mythos tales. Abrahamism is the classic example. Intuitives are typically mystics who meditate and seek to make themselves “one” with ultimate reality. Eastern religion is the classic example. Intellectuals are those who seek to understand the world via reason, and the supreme subject of reason is mathematics.

To put it in other terms, scientists regard ultimate reality as sensible, Abrahamists as involving an emotional relationship with a Superbeing, Eastern religious followers as mystical, and rationalists as intelligible. These are wholly different ways of apprehending reality. You cannot mix and match. Most importantly, you cannot be scientific and rational, i.e. it’s logically impossible to reconcile sensible and intelligible worldviews. You can be scientific or mathematical, but not both. Science manifests a fundamental contradiction through being predicated on a sensory scientific method, while relying on an intelligible mathematical engine that has nothing to do with senses and is entirely based on analytic reason and proof.

The four ways of contemplating reality have the following implications: science says that the world is made of non-mental, sensory matter; Abrahamism says that an unexplained conscious Superbeing made the world and us; Eastern religion says that we all belong to some unexplained mystical Oneness which is the truth beneath the illusory material world of separation; and rationalism says that the world is intelligible because it’s literally made of ontological reason = mathematics, the subtlety being that ontological mathematical sinusoids can convey information that is experienced by minds in non-mathematical ways (such as in sensory or emotional ways), thus concealing the true mathematical reality.
