Quote
The great rationalist Descartes said, “I think, therefore I am.” The religious mystic the Buddha said, “I think, therefore I am not.” Why is the Buddha much more popular than Descartes? Because the average person barely thinks at all.

Quote
All of the central ideas that mark religious and spiritual thinking can be translated into exact mathematical concepts and made compatible with science. Mathematics is true religion and spirituality, as Pythagoras understood.

Quote
The basic rule of existence is that all eternal, necessary things are perfect. Via entering into temporal, contingent combinations, they produce combinatorial imperfection. Without perfection, nothing could exist. Without perfection there could be no imperfection. Such is the nature of Being and Becoming.

Quote
God’s perfection lies in the domain of Being. In the domain of Becoming, he is totally fragmented and on a mission to put himself back together again. God shatters himself into infinite pieces then puts them all back together again to make a perfect whole. We are all tiny images or reflections of God. We are all cells of God. We are all mirrors of God.

Quote
Zero is not a point of non-existence. Zero is always a balance point of existents. The human understanding of “zero” must undergo the most radical of all transformations. Most people, especially scientists, associate it with absolute nothingness, with non-existence. This is absolutely untrue.

Quote
Scientists believe they can trump any opponent by saying, “Where is your physical evidence?” That statement – their reflexive go-to statement – is the core of their fallacy, because it has already excluded all hidden variables, non-observables, and the whole noumenal inside of reality.

Quote
Every time you come across a reference to “God”, you should test to see whether the word “mathematics” could be used instead. God is deemed the invisible cause of all. Ontological mathematics asserts that mathematics is the invisible cause of all.

Quote
What is the eternal, necessary order? It is the order of reason and logic. It is the analytic, a priori order, the conceptual order. It has traditionally been associated with God (religion), but it ought to be associated with mathematics (rationalism). Much of what is said about God in philosophy could equally be said about mathematics. The traditional proofs of the existence of God can easily be repurposed as proofs of the existence of mathematics.
