How Science Becomes an Art – Integrating Knowledge Through Active Practice

The only way we attain knowledge and become truly knowledgeable, is by developing ideas to the point where they can be brought into practice somehow in our daily life. We become the vehicle through which knowledge expresses in the world by becoming one with it, and as a result we acquire it through the experience of it. By applying and utilizing knowledge as a practice of some sort, we develop it into a behavior that forms an experience, which not only serves to prove it through the application as an experiment, but allows us to gain insights where we can modify the basic idea or approach, correcting any errors, in order to utilize it in a manner that creates the results it claims to produce. We can only know the validity of an idea through experimentation that applies it to create at the material level, where we then experience the knowledge through a form of self-realization. Knowledge of something isn’t attained through purely theoretical means or as a fact of some kind, it’s attained by becoming one with it as a direct experience. From experience, new awareness arise, and its through the awareness, which is an awareness of ourselves, that we gain knowledge of it. To have knowledge of something indicates an intimacy with it.

By applying an idea in our daily lives as a practice of some kind, we form it into an experience, and the experiences are accumulated over time and translated into memory, which molds them into our mental paradigm and serves to provide the subconscious mind with a new pattern of behavior and activity that becomes a natural tendency, ritual, or built in skill. We only truly integrate the knowledge through experimentation that produces an experience of it by blending into it mentally and becoming the vehicle through which it comes into the world. By embodying an idea and imagining it as a working concept, we shape it into pattern that serves as a program for directing our behaviors and activities, which transforms it from an inner reality into an outer reality of the same nature, which is then absorbed and synthesized by the mind, upgrading the memory-model of the mind through the incorporation of it. Our mental model is what shapes our perceptual lens and forms how we think and feel and experience the world around us, and forms all our natural behaviors that are employed systematically in a completely automated manner.

Knowledge that’s held at the theoretical level, never tested and applied to ensure its validity, remains a theory, and is not integrated into our paradigm as an experience and behavior of some kind, and is therefore NOT actually acquired or retained, nor carried forward as an essential part of our memory. We only truly know what we can do and demonstrate. To say that spiritual knowledge exists only in the spiritual realm, and can’t be meaningfully applied to the material realm through practical application, isn’t true, and merely demonstrates a lack of understanding in terms of what spiritual knowledge is. It’s an error in how we think about the relationship of the spiritual (invisible forces) with the material (visible forces). The basic fact that underlies all reality is that what we call the spiritual realm is a form of knowledge-base comprised of archetypes (divine prototypes) and cosmic laws that form the foundation and energetic matrix for the entire material world. These archetypal patterns accompanied by a self-organizing mechanism (life force) form vibrations as a harmonic frequency that populates the material world with an infinite variety of correlated forms, while imbuing them with a distinct set of qualities and characteristics that determine how they function and behave, and what processes they naturally play a part in. While many think the spiritual (invisible energy) is symbolic of the material, actually the opposite is true, and the material exists as the symbolic forms of the spiritual. All vibration has both a pattern and self-organizing mechanism in it that constructs a material form, while also imbuing it with consciousness as a personality and distinct character. Material forms are merely vehicles for the spirit to inhabit and experience itself through.

 Knowledge itself, is formed as ideas (archetypes) that naturally enter the mind as inspiration of some kind that brings new insights into the deeper meaning of things that generate a sense of excitement and enthusiasm. Once an idea is conceived in the imagination in seed form, it’s developed into a variety of new possibilities by being molded into our existing paradigm. Because all ideas are archetypal in nature, where they serve as a prototype rather than a fixed idea, they’re exceedingly applicable and lend themselves to an infinite number of adaptations, each of which produce the basic idea in a new form as a variation of the original idea. All ideas of the spiritual (unformed) realm are objective, metaphorical, and universal in nature. All spiritual knowledge as laws can only be truly known and understood by applying them as a practice or activity of some kind. The only theory in spiritual knowledge lies in gaining a fundamental understanding of the laws involved, which is necessary in order to apply and utilize them to create in your daily life. By practicing and using these laws to create, you gain knowledge of them through self-awareness and self-realization. The realization formed allows you to immediately identify the same laws being played out through a variety of practices and situations, regardless of what form they take on. This ability to identify laws by perceiving them from the perspective of being one with them as an experience, develops our intuitive ability to conceive information through a direct experience of it, regardless of what shape or outer appearance it takes on.

It’s by entering into an idea mentally, becoming one with it consciously, having an intimate and immediate experience of it, that lets us know if its true or not. We not only perceive the material world through our physical senses and the outer appearance of things, but we also feel it, and the feeling it gives us reveals its hidden nature. We can recognize truth from error, because truth always operates as law, whether physical or subtle, and can be applied to any situation or set of circumstances, where it creates a material reality as a natural process of some sort. If an idea being portrayed can’t be applied in the material sense and translated into an experience, to create whatever it claims to create, then it shows us it’s not based on laws and principles, and is therefore a false statement. The mind and soul shapes the entire material world as a means of experiencing itself through its own mental construct. All reality as we’re capable of knowing it, is formed through our perception of it, and our perception is formed as the outer reflection of our inner mental model.

The most fundamental law that many fail to recognize is that spirit as consciousness or the mind, which is formed as a field of organized information, is also matter itself in a primordial state, and matter is the passive component of the mind that conceives consciousness, which is the active force, and together they form a complementary whole that’s both spirit and material. Spirit, mind (soul), and body, are different aspects of the same thing (idea) in different densities as a series of complementary opposites that engage in an interactive process of resonance, sympathetic induction, and coherence. Consciousness itself is a self-organizing force that impregnates the material mind of the subconscious with its image in seed form, and the subconscious gestates it into a material correspondence by molding it into the entire material world. The active force is magnetically drawn into its passive equivalent (same vibration as a state), combining information (genetics) to form the molecular structure of a single cell, which contains the etheric blueprint as a holographic model for undergoing a dynamic process of generating itself as a physical body (vehicle) and outer reality (sphere) that contains its physical body. It literally constructs and assembles itself as an entire material world of it’s own making. We can know spirit and the contents of our own mind by observing the outer world, because its our own mind that’s producing it as an outer reflection (mirror image). All knowledge of the outer world is knowledge of ourselves, because the same laws and archetypal matrix is what’s forming both at the same time and in the same image.

 As humans, we are a perfect microcosm and mini-model of the cosmos as the macrocosm, because we are the only species on this planet to be imbued with the conscious mind and the higher capacity of reason, choice, will, and creativity. We are the only animals capable of thinking, shaping our own individuality and inner world of memory, and working intelligently by way of universal laws in order to create ourselves with full awareness in what we’re doing and our reason for doing it. We are not confined to a mortal existence driven by instinct and unconscious behaviors produced through our conditioning and as a part of the collective unconscious of humanity, but have the inherent ability to free ourselves by recognizing our divine nature and utilizing our higher rational mind. We have the ability to become self-aware, embody our divine nature, and use our higher mind and will to employ knowledge of the natural laws that govern the world and use them to skillfully manipulate the natural forces of Nature, as a means of evolving ourselves by way of them. By employing spiritual knowledge as universal laws and archetypal patterns, we can develop ourselves by way our creative ability to intelligently employ them to develop practical skills and live a meaningful life. We can grow ourselves to higher and higher forms of intelligence by expanding our creative capacity to apply laws in a variety of ways to create an infinite array of possibilities through our ability to adapt, utilize and overcome.
