Ep3, Reason, Rational, and Religious Thought

When we engage in the use of reason, Rational thought and Religious thought, do we measure our reason against our physical world or our human mind?

Paragraph 6. The reason for this break down is due to the different existences the “why” resides in. We can follow the two different paths that hard science and social science takes with the reasoning of ideas. We can create the following flow of action:

· Fact → Event → Cause → Why.

An example of hard science would be:

· Fact (A released ball drops) → Event (A falling ball) → Cause (Gravity) → Why (Because gravity exists in physical existence).

An example of social science would be:

· Fact (A person looks or thinks differently.) → Event (Murder) → Cause (False-reality ideas) → Why (Because false-reality ideas exists in human thought).

Now we have a mismatch of reason between science and social thought. One connects to the physical world while the other does not. Nevertheless, they both gave their “why.” In the cause and effect ideas of science, physical existence is a uniform and unchanging existence. By its own nature, physical existence is a singular source and directly associated with reality. Physical existence cannot attach false-reality to itself. Our human thought does not have uniformity when we allow ourselves to attach reality to non-reality ideas. What is missing? Well, we have one additional movement in the human mind that physical existence does not have. With social ideas, we have Fact → Event → Cause → Why-1 → Why-2. We then have:

· Fact (A person looks or thinks differently.) → Event (Murder) → Cause (False-reality ideas) → Why-1 (Because false-reality ideas exists in human thought) → Why-2 (False reality exists because of an unaccountable system of thought).

I am going to add an addendum to lift the level of the double “why” flow.

Addendum
· Fact (A person looks or thinks differently.) → Event (Murder) → Cause (An idea that people who look or think differently are evil) → Why-1 (Because false-reality ideas can exist in human thought) → Why-2 (The sliver idea of reality was attached emotionally or reactively without any supporting physical connection).

Notice that the why in science is stable as it rests in physical existence. Notice too that the why-2 of social actions is only stable when our thought system rests in maintaining its relationship with physical existence. Once we break from our physical existence and allow the attachment of reality to non-reality ideas, we end with unstable actions as it rests in the chaos of our minds.
