This leads to the rules of logic and the scientific method, which are based on a cause-effect chain. This might also be called samsara if one is looking at things from a Buddhist perspective.
However, we need to look at the possibility of acausal connecting principles like Carl Jung did.
This leads us to the concept that proving God, or consciousness, is impossible using the scientific method because we are dealing with a phenomenon that is outside the realm of time-space and not subject to its restrictions. This is alogical but not illogical.
Let me then ask you how you feel about this point, if people are using the scientific method as a means of denying the existence of God, or universal consciousness, or Nirvana (or I guess Pearl Jam too).
How do you prove or disprove an alogical force that is not subject to the eventual entropy that will envelop everything in time-space?
As the Chinese say, bai hua qi fang, bai jia zheng ming.
Let us contend.
ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius
