Is there one concept that, on its own, could transform everything you think about reality? The simplest ideas of all are often the most difficult to grasp. What could be simpler than that the universe has an inside, and that the inside produces the outside?

The outside is the projection of the inside. Is that not what the Big Bang is all about? The universe begins as pure inside, and then it constructs an outside, a body - a cosmos - all around it. The inside is an immaterial Singularity that's not in spacetime. The outside is material and in spacetime. The inside is noumenon, the outside phenomenon; the inside is metaphysical, the outside physical; the inside mental, the outside material. You cannot observe the inside, only the outside, only the body.

Imagine a zombie universe, a universe without consciousness. If consciousness were irrelevant to the operations of the universe, there would be no such thing as consciousness. After all, what would be the point? What sufficient reason could be offered for it? Nature doesn't generate anything that has no function. Yet consciousness - the most important fact of our life that defines who we are and how we relate to the world - is, according to science, nothing but an accident, a product of random chance, a bizarre mutation, an epiphenomenon, an illusion, an emergent property. It serves no purpose, it has no causal efficacy. It is totally irrelevant to the workings of inert, lifeless, mindless atoms under the control of the inert, lifeless, mindless laws of physics. The ideology of materialism is deadly to the concept of consciousness.

Rupert Sheldrake is an astute critic of scientific materialism. He is not an astute critic of his own system of formative causation and morphic resonance. The final theory of everything - ontological mathematics - can be used to reveal the fallacies that bedevil scientific materialism and morphic resonance alike.

Sheldrake's system can be viewed as a mystical shift away from scientism. It hasn't found a coherent, rational way to replace the scientific worldview. Everything that Sheldrake seeks to accomplish with his ill-defined morphic fields can be analytically achieved by ontological Fourier mathematics.

Wittgenstein said, "Don't try and shit higher than your arse." He was the expert in the subject. Wittgenstein pulled off the greatest hoax in philosophical history. By sheer force of personality, he managed to get all the philosopher dweebs to swallow his brilliantly contrived joke to expose the idiocy and gullibility of modern philosophers. Wittgenstein wrote, "My propositions serve as elucidations in the following way: anyone who understands me eventually recognizes them as nonsensical... The right method of philosophy would be this: To say nothing except what can be said, i.e. the propositions of natural science, i.e. something that has nothing to do with philosophy..." Being the comedic genius he was - the finest humorist of his era - Wittgenstein stayed in character as an idiot savant all his adult life and never once revealed his ingenious joke to his credulous target audience.

Dreams are the most mysterious things there are. That's why they are key to unlocking all the mysteries of existence. Once you understand how dreams originate, what originates them, what constructs them and how they are manufactured, and why they take on the special character they do, you know everything about reality. It's not science that helps us to understand dreams, it's psychology, philosophy, and, above all, mathematics.

The secrets of dreams give us access to powers today's humanity can barely imagine, but which ancient humanity may have enjoyed to an incredibly high degree, to such an extent that they believed they were in direct contact with angels and gods.

To build a solid, enduring house, you need solid, enduring foundations. What foundations must eternal existence have? What foundations would allow a whole universe to be built? What would ensure that the universe doesn't fall over, doesn't implode, doesn't blow up, doesn't leak, doesn't self-destruct, isn't infinitely unstable?

Here are a few things that the foundations of existence definitely aren't made of: love, consciousness, faith, mysticism, emotion, uncertainty, randomness, indeterminism, chance, accident, probability, statistics, emergence.

So, you know what mathematics is, right? Well, if you do, you're a smarter person than Nobel laureates Albert Einstein and Eugene Wigner, who were baffled by what mathematics is and how it relates to science and the world. Wigner wrote a famous paper entitled "The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Mathematics in the Natural Sciences."

No scientist has ever explained why mathematics is so uncannily appropriate to describing Nature.

You support a principle of relativity. Why not a principle of absolutism? You support the abolition of a spatial aether. Why not support the existence of a non-spatial aether? You believe that things can be stationary. Why not that they must be in a state of absolute motion? You believe that space and time are the proper stage in which reality should unfold. Why not in a Singularity of non-space and non-time? Is that not a mind, even a "Mind of God?" Don't you want to hack the Mind of God? You think everything should be about particles in a void, as the ancient Atomists said. Why not waves in a Singularity? Waves are dimensionless "atoms" with an atomic number of zero.
