Towards the Divinity of Man:

The information contained within these pages is intended to progress the collective mind of humanity towards a more enlightened state. By using established and well-published sources for my references, I plan to draw comparisons and correlations between these sources in the attempt to extract new meanings and associations; and once justified, I will argue that this constitutes new knowledge.

The target and focus of this new knowledge is the nature of reality, one of the oldest philosophical inquiries.

In order to birth, or resurrect, or recall, this gnosis within the reader I will focus on four categories of thought: science/math, philosophy/contemporary theory, religion/theology, and literature/poetry.

It is important to note that my methodology is not analytic. Instead I will be using a more conceptual approach, and focusing more on the philosophy and theory of these ideas and connections and less on the formulas, hard math, number crunching, science aspects. That is not to say I will not speak of the math and science as well as the philosophy and theory, but the approach will be biased. The simple reason for this method is my current lack of the actual mathematical ability to do the majority of the higher level calculating required. Instead I will rely on my strength in philosophy and conceptual thinking.

In more detail each category will have highlighted specialized fields that I will use extensively:

Science/Math – General and Special Relativity, Kaluza-Klein Theory, String Theory, Superstring Theory, M-Theory, 11-Dimensional Hyperspace Theory, Theoretical Astronomy/Astrophysics, Cosmology, Set Theory, Transfinite Mathematics, Number Theory, Group Theory, Ring Theory, Field Theory, Linear Algebra, Algebraic Geometry, K-Theory, N-Dimensional Geometry, Topology (Algebraic and Combinatorial)

Philosophy/Contemporary Theory – Metaphysics, Ontology, Monadology, Functionalism, Cognitive Studies, Representationalism, Philosophy of Mathematics, Psychedelic Studies

Religion/Theology – Gnosticism, Nag Hammadi Library, Contemporary Christian Studies, Buddhism, Taoism, Shintoism

Literature/Poetry – Science Fiction, Fantasy, Surrealism, Historical Fiction, Music/Lyrics
