The Book of Mind: Seeking Gnosis Quotes

“The PSR is not an abstract principle. It is embodied ontologically by way of Euler's formula, which is what the PSR reduces to mathematically. Anyone who denies that the universe is made of reason is automatically an irrationalist, and their irrational opinions can be dismissed. There is nothing more ironic, and irrational, than irrationalists trying to give reasons why the universe is not made of reason.”

“Scientists think rationalists are mad because the rationalists are dancing to the Music of the Spheres, to which scientists are stone deaf. Scientists are like the blind describing the visible world to the sighted. The vast majority of reality is hidden from the human senses, yet scientists have chosen to consider the observable as the only reality, and everything else as unreal. In fact, the unobservable is true reality, and the observable is a sensory phenomenal, empirical delusion that actively masks non-sensory, noumenal, rational reality.”

“What ordinary people have never understood is that reason has an appearance and can be experienced. Reason has many dimensions: reason is thinking, reason is feeling, reason is sensing and reason is intuition. It is two types of judging (thinking and feeling), and two types of perceiving (sensing and intuition). All of this flows from the fact that reason is both syntactic and semantic, and is evolving towards Perfect Reason. Everything is just an aspect of reason. There is nothing other than reason, and everything has a reason. A universe made of reason is ipso facto an intelligent, mental, living universe, imbued with meaning and purpose. A universe made of reason is idealist, not materialist. Science has inverted reality.”
