It is human nature to wonder, to reason, and to act. They are natural drives, like sex and hunger. Wondering and inductive logic gave rise to myth, philosophy, and science through cosmological convictions. This means having a deep belief in the order of the universe. Myth or mysticism gave order to God, or the gods. It placed people at the center of the universe, examples are: 1. "The Genesis Story" as told in the Bible. 2. The Babylonians "Enuma Elish" - the gods created humans to serve them. 3. "The Gilgamesh Epic" - no eternal life, do what you have to do. Philosophy asks speculative questions in a logical order. It gives rational answers through reflective thinking - reason. This leaves us open rationally to the many possibilities in life. Other benefits of philosophy include: 1. It helps us to understand people of different times. 2. It teaches us how to make decisions when we are not sure. 3. It help’s us to see why we act the way we do. 4. It has tools to help us make value judgments more rationally. In science, you observe and experiment. This leads to the objective discovery of natural laws that affect the whole universe. This takes humans away from the center of the cosmos. Aristotle (384-322 B.C.) was the Greek philosopher and scientist who founded physics. He asserted that all knowledge must begin with observation. However, in his natural philosophy, God functioned as the final cause of condition for the cosmos. This view represented the scientific community until about 1600 AD. Galileo (1564-1642) was an Italian natural philosopher and mathematician. He asserted that all knowledge comes from observation. However, you cannot observe God. In addition, measurements are quantitative. This mean, we do not have to know the final cause of motion and change. The scientific world is a secular or non-religious world. Science asserts there is no super natural destiny, and that man is a part of nature, which is not divine. Do you have cosmological convictions? How do you express them in your life? Should science replace myth and philosophy - why, or why not? In life, I found many people who thought their way was the right way. As a Christian, I wondered, "How do you tell and convince others that your way is the right way?" This led to my question, "With all the different thoughts, beliefs, religions, and sciences; how do you know what path to follow in order to find self-actualization (The fulfillment of your total potential), and spiritual-fulfillment (Having values and beliefs, as to right and wrong, such that you are willing to live, or die for)?" You must look both within yourself, and without. By examining yourself objectively, you begin to understand yourself. This leads to the understanding of others. By looking outward objectively, you begin to understand your relationship to the world around you, and your possibilities in it. Rexology is about the search for truth, knowledge, and understanding. Understanding the knowledge you have acquired gives you the ability to apply it. This ability to apply knowledge makes you "a person of knowledge and power." Becoming a person of knowledge and power will lead you to new levels of consciousness. As you increase your consciousness, you increase your capacity to accept, and handle, both knowledge, and power. Here are four tasks that will help you in your quest to become a person of knowledge and power: 1. The "first task" is to come to know self. Your concept of who you are determines how you perceive and relate to the world. Chapter 2, "Self and Human Nature," describes this task. 2. The "second task" is to develop your consciousness. Chapter 3, "The Four Ways to Consciousness," describes this task. This chapter also includes a technique called "self-remembering." Self-remembering enable you to feel and act freely from your essence. This is what it means to be ones’ self. 3. The "third task" is to interact with the world around you on a conscious level. You become an observer of yourself, and learn about yourself, as you learn about the world around you. Chapter 4, "The Three Areas of Human Experience," describes this task. 4. The "fourth task" is to learn to see yourself, and the world around you, from a cosmological point of view. Chapter 5, "The Law of Reciprocal Maintenance," describes this task.
