Explain the Religious Origins of Modern Thinking
- Modern thinking is rooted in the Christian dogma of nature’s depersonalization
- Christianity created this dogma to replace pagan religions that personalized nature
- Materialism, mathematization, and mechanism emerged from Christian dogmas
- Enlightement extended the radical individualism of Reformation to all of reality
- The Christian idea of contract law was extended to create social and natural laws
- Greek ideas of Axiomatization and Logicization were coopted during Englightenment
Establish the Pervasive Failure of Modern Thinking
- Prevalence of inconsistency vs. incompleteness pattern in all modern subjects
- Incompleteness appears as a shortfall in prediction and explanation in all theories
- Inconsistency appears as contradictory models of different aspects of same phenomena
- Attempts to increase consistency produce less completeness and theories narrow
- Attempts to increase completeness produce less consistency and theories diverge
- Failure due to binary logic, objectivity, quantification, and instrumentation
Establish an Alternative Religious Foundation of Science
- The personalization of nature is an alternative foundation of science
- The ontology of objects is replaced by the ontology of persons in this science
- Six-aspect personhood of will, intention, emotion, cognition, conation, and relation
- Aspected, Hierarchical, Non-Reducible, Inseparable, Qualitative, and Moral reality
- Axiomatic Logic replaced by the rationality of Self-Discovery and Self-Correction
- An alternative religious doctrine creates an alternative model of science
Establish the Pervasive Relevance of Vedic Philosophy
- The ideology of personhood resolves all problems of modern scientific thinking
- It leads us to conceive all reality personally rather than via depersonalization
- Use of Bhedābheda principle and qualities is necessary and sufficient for science
- Its pervasive usefulness proves that the principle is consistent and complete
- All departments and subjects can be united by a common principle and ideology
- Progress in understanding any subject aids progress in all other subjects
Assist the Understanding of Vedic Philosophy
- The meaning of the Bhedābheda principle or distinctness with inseparability
- How Bhedābheda originates in the six complementary aspects of personhood
- Each aspect is distinct as nouns and inseparable from others as adjectives and verbs
- Bhedābheda, qualities, and non-binary modal reasoning are logically equivalent
- Qualities produce hierarchies of parts within the whole creating a hierarchical space
- Alternating complementary aspects leads to cyclical models of change
Explain the Emergence of Alternative Ideas
- Nothingness is the deep sleep stage of a person that neglects all the six aspects
- Self-awareness is the waking stage of a free but undefined individual
- Oneness is the dreaming state in which others become self-created delusions
- Individualism is the waking stage of a person controlling others by laws
- Materialism is the waking stage of a person completely controlled by laws
- Liberalism is the waking stage of lawless, anarchist, and conflicted persons
Establish the Unity of Vedic Philosophy
- Everything is a different kind of spirit and a partial aspect of the whole spirit
- The interaction of whole and part or part and part, is based upon qualities
- The non-contradiction between the different interpretations of Vedānta
- The non-contradiction between Vedānta, Sāñkhya, Yoga, Nyāya, Vaiśeṣika, and Mīmāṃsā
- The non-contradiction between Shaivism, Shaktism, and Vaishnavism
- The non-contradiction between Darśana, Upaniśad, Purāṇa, Tantra, Itihāsa, Saṃhitā
Present the Scientific Path to Complete Truth, Right, and Good
- Reality is a ladder of rungs comprising better and worse truth, right, and good
- Falsity is the illusion that a lower rung is the highest, and the rejection of higher rungs
- Falsity leads to immorality and then to suffering to make us search for higher rungs
- As a person ascends the rungs of the ladder, he arrives at better truth, right, and good
- Each step reduces inconsistency and incompleteness, confirming that it is progress
- The Supreme truth, right, and good is free of all inconsistencies and incompleteness
