Sacred Science
And the Paradox Model

Since the Enlightenment, the scientific method has increasingly become more empirical, and more materialistic. What cannot be measured or observed is considered irrelevant or non-existent. In addressing the human experience and causality this type of methodology reduces Man to a consequence of evolution, where the abstract (consciousness) is a result of the immediate world. Yet, such reasoning begins and ends with a paradox: the physical universe was created from a non-dimensional state where the known laws of physics do not apply, and the ‘stuff’ of reality (energy) is the movement of an unknown substance. In other words, nothing produced something to create the universe, and at its lowest common denominator is still, most likely, nothing. In effect, the practice of science has formed a paradox model of reality.

The scope of science does not address the irrationality of life we are all inherit.

Nor does it address the most fundamental and observable aspects of the immediate world, what is evident through nature: The principle of harmony/disharmony in opposites, and their need to attract forming a mutually beneficial unity. As it is with the electron and proton in the quantum world, so it is in the biological world. No male is complete without the female, and no female without the male. As opposites, they are compliments. This underlying, principle of compliment energies makes the concrete, immediate world, as well as biological life, what it is. Ironically, ignoring these facts makes science irrational in its own rationality.

Sacred science is a qualitative approach to science, and takes into account what cosmologists call the anthropic principle: In order to explain the universe, the existence of mankind must also be explained. With sacred science, consciousness is not the result of evolution, but the cause of a manifest, concrete world. It is what Schwaller de Lubicz referred to as Anthropocosm, the ‘Man Cosmos.’ In other words, the nature of mankind is abstract, and everything physical, the entire cosmos, exists as a result of Man’s intent to manifest as three-dimensional reality. In its entirety, the cosmos exists within the consciousness of Man. Viewed in this way the paradoxes of reality becomes the judiciousness of insight.

Identity is an important issue in the human experience. Most people identify with items of the physical world, possessions or concepts of society such as religious or political organizations. Such identification creates great apprehension knowing that some day physical death will occur. With this fear comes the questioning of truth, and life thereafter. Since the Cause and Effect are both abstract perceptions through the vehicle of the physical world identification becomes a matter of abstraction rather than the physical.

Identifying with the abstract world, by means of consciousness, means embracing an esoteric truth, a truth that is difficult to explain through spoken languages. Once grasped, it is like being ‘born again,’ to use Christian terminology. In doing so, all things are viewed with a completely new perspective. This process of identification occurs through the most basic form of communication, symbols and the symbolic, addressing the most fundamental level of our awareness. It is the native language of the abstract, and an innate knowledge built into everything that exists.
