COSMOLOGY, PHILOSOPHY AND PHYSICS -ALEXIS KARPOUZOS
The universe is not a world of separate things and events but is a cosmos that is connected, coherent, and bears a profound resemblance to the visions held in the earliest spiritual traditions in which the physical world and spiritual experience were both aspects of the same reality and man and the universe were one. The findings that justify this new vision of the underlying logic of the universe come from almost all of the empirical sciences: physics, cosmology, the life sciences, and consciousness research. They explain how interactions lead to interconnections that produce instantaneous and multifaceted coherence–what happens to one part also happens to the other parts, and hence to the system as a whole. The sense of sacred oneness experienced by our ancestors that was displaced by the unyielding material presumptions of modern science can be restored, and humanity can once again feel at home in the universe.

Mathematics Of Imagination<br />
“Logic will get you fromA to B imagination will take you everywhere” Einstein.<br />
The genuine mathematics –as Kurt Gödel showed - can be classified in absolutely<br />
no Formal Axiomatic System, no matter how advanced that system is. They cannot<br />
be formal; they are by default informal (non typical). The logical assumption is then,<br />
that there cannot be a (formal) mathematical theory. Therefore, the nature of<br />
genuine mathematics is not objectively “mathematical”. Namely, it is not governed by<br />
the logic of set theory.<br />
The logic of the set theory is governed by the principle of identity, the principle of<br />
non-contradiction, while the choice of their axioms is strictly poetical, that is<br />
“creative”. The choice of the axioms is not empirical, nor are they produced logically,<br />
because if it were so, they would not be axioms, they would be theorems of logic.<br />
So, mathematics is not a simple acceptance of logical principles and<br />
metamathematic rules. If there is no creation of new axioms, where there is a need<br />
of them, then mathematics stop developing. There is no restriction on the choice of<br />
the axioms, except for the non-contradiction and their sufficiency. However, those<br />
two principles are not enough for the creation of axioms. They are the negative terms<br />
that have to be abided for the axioms to be valid and acceptable. The mathematics<br />
of thought exceed the totals and deal with magmas. For example, all the pictures<br />
that we keep in our minds when we are thinking or dreaming do not form a set in<br />
mathematical terms. That is because a set consists of elements defined and<br />
distinguished from each other, which come either from the real world or from the<br />
notional imaginary world. Our pictures, however, do not consist of elements<br />
distinguished and defined. We cannot separate them; all elements are connected to<br />
each other and are defined mutually.<br />
Only the linguistic expression of genuine mathematics is typical, since, as being a<br />
language, it is a human construction of symbolic/point patterns which express the<br />
earthly dimensional (Euclidean) space-time environment. These extreme spot<br />
symbols of mathematical expression are nothing else but the extreme sections of the<br />
net (intangible) mathematical universe. Namely, they are material thickenings that<br />
take place due to the function of the human brain (1). An example may analyze the<br />
