Yoga of Synthesis: At the gateway of new Civilisation, Culture and Ideals of the Aquarian Age

The opposition between intuitionism and empiricism in psychology and between intuitionism and analysis persists to the present day. In psychology, intuition had been concerned with the means by which that which is known comes to be known as opposed to questions of ultimate reality in philosophy. In kantian philosophy, there were innate categories of mind which forced particular categories of perceptual judgement. Also it held a priori knowings of truth - intuitions of such truths as the basic axioms of Euclidean geometry. The implicit metaphysical differences remain among pyschologists as they remain among philosophers: is there a reality to be discovered or are there multiple realities to be constructed ? Those who take successful probabilistic prediction as equivalent to knowledge would maintain that they never do know anything with certainity and indeed that one cannot know anything with certainty. On the other hand, harmonious certainty has been the hallmark of intuitionism for cen...

Some of the seeds of synthesis I have discovered (experiments are ongoing to give fair consideration and enlighten ourselves) so far between sciences, religions, philosophies are listed below for the lovers of truth and wisdom - Synthesis of mathematics - Category theory (Grothendieck, Saunders Maclane) Synthesis of religions - Theosophy (Helena Blavatsky) (A mathematical expression of the law of Karma or cause and effect is in my thesis) Synthesis of philosophies and Human Knowledge itself - A treatise on seven rays (24 Books of Djwal Khul and Alice Bailey) Synthesis of pyschology - Psychosynthesis (Roberto Assagioli), Humanistic astrology and soul-centred psychology (Dane Rudhyar, Alan Oken) Synthesis of ancient systems of Yoga - Synthesis of Yoga (Sri Aurobindo),Auroville (Experiment of synthesising city), Agni Yoga (Nicholas and Helena Roerich) Synthesis of agriculture - Permaculture (Masanobu Fukuoka) Synthesis of signal representation - Functorial Signal Representation Synthesi...

If one does research on the sayings of almost all great minds they have indirectly pointed out that all ideas came to them through intuition. Then in this post, let us see what a mathematician or a scientist has to say about intuition in the sense how he/she interprets the word. Mathematicians have been concerned about induction, inference, and intuition in their own field, not only because they bring in invention, innovation, and discovery just as all other groups of scholars do, but because certain aspects of the field of mathematics are very closely related to pure logic and the link with philosophy is extremely close. Blaise Pascal famous for the Pascal's law and the unit of pressure in physics which is termed after him had to say the following which clearly shows that he is emphasising the fact that intuition lies beyond reason. "The heart has its reasons which reason knows nothing of... We know the truth not only by the reason, but by the heart."  Polya (1954) finds...

What is this blog about ? This blog is an outward expression of my inner experiences on a journey upon a path onto which I had consciously decided to walk starting sometime in 2005. After earning a bachelors degree from a local university in engineering I had frustration of not having learnt anything substantial or rather having learnt only superficially. So  I made a decision to go into the very depths of everything (today after many years it can be termed as examining the causes underlying the situations rather than just addressing them at the effects level). It was a decision not to accept any body of so called knowledge (therefore I used to keep it only as a working hypotheses) from any source without understanding it (today I consciously recognize that the very faculty that made it possible is termed as intuition and the Knowledge obtained through it is what Sri Aurobindo says as "The Knowledge by Identity") and being convinced after a thorough consideration. The feeling...
