Introduction to Illuminism: New Ageism
This week, we will be taking another look at building an introductory pitch for Illuminism and Ontological Mathematics. This time, we’ll be imagining the person we are in dialog with is a believer in New Ageism, a stance that is becoming increasingly common in the west. Let’s get right into it! I subscribe to a…

We arrive at knowledge and understanding via thinking, via concepts, not via observation, via percepts. Science has never grasped this simple truth. Science makes Step One of the scientific method observation. It is then necessary to propose hypotheses (concepts) to account for the observations. Science has privileged perceptualism over conceptualism. What if you simply reverse…

The stunning power of ontological mathematics is that it explains mind for the first time ever, by defining mind as a sinusoidal monad, as an immaterial singularity outside space and time that performs ontological Fourier mathematics, and thus can be inserted into the heart of quantum mechanics and science. Science seeks to understand consciousness via…

That Old Viking Guy
Throughout human history, tribal elders have been revered for their knowledge and wisdom. Elders have been of such critical importance that the images of the Wise Old Man and Matriarch have been carved into the human psyche as powerful archetypes. In fact, it has been theorized that the reason humans live to as long as…

The Truth is not a feeling, and the Truth is not something you observe. You do not perceive the Truth with your senses, you conceive the Truth with your intellect. At the highest levels, intuition and intellect are one. At the lowest levels, intuition is separate from intellect and much closer to feeling. When intuition…

In many ways, Schopenhauer is a fantastic philosopher. He produced what can be considered a rational version of Buddhism, vastly superior intellectually to the original. That alone would make him worth reading. His emphasis on the unconscious Will was extremely influential in the development of the concept of the unconscious mind, and heavily influenced Hartmann,…

Elevator Pitch: Eastern Religion
This week, we will be taking another look at building an elevator pitch for Illuminism and Ontological Mathematics. This time, we’ll be imagining the person we are in dialog with is a believer in an Eastern Religion such as Buddhism and Hinduism. In this example, the stance we are contrasting to has much more in…

A quote
Where most people think of numbers as abstractions, Pythagoras could look at the world and see them concretely embedded in everything. What things really are in themselves are numbers. Numbers are noumena with a phenomenal appearance. They are syntactical elements with a semantic expression. The human catastrophe has been the failure to realize that when…

A quote
You need a whole new mentality when coming to ontological mathematics. You are now dealing with reason and logic alone. Forget your senses. Forget all ideas such as space, time and matter. Forget empiricism, and experiments. You are dealing with ultimate reality … an immaterial mental Singularity outside space and time. Only your reason and…

The Cainite Dawn
By —-Spartacus—- In loyalty to their kind they cannot tolerate our rise; in loyalty to our kind, we cannot tolerate their obstruction. – John Wyndham, The Chrysalids With Euthyphro’s Dilemma, Plato divided the world into two distinct and incompatible cognitive and moral dispositions. This dilemma is one of the most profound and divisive questions ever…
