Teleology: The Study of Purpose
Why are we here? In the standard worldview, the answer is "by chance."
In the Sacred Geometry alternative worldview, the answer is "by design."
Teleology is the study of ends, goals, and the underlying causes that drive the cosmic dance.
The standard worldview suggests that purpose is a rare byproduct of complex brains. I propose the opposite: Purpose is the absolute ground of being.
- Everything is Alive: From the universal mind down to the single cell, every "droplet" in the ocean has its own aims, goals, and reasons.
- Cooperation is the Rule: While competition exists and serves a tactical purpose, the universe is built primarily on massive cooperation. Biological cells, species, and even galaxies act as recursive sub-minds serving higher strategic purposes.
Evolution is not a series of random accidents; it is a consciously guided process.
- Evolution: The process by which the Soul (the invisible) drives the World (the visible) to adapt and complexify.
- Involution: The opposite process, where the World drives the Soul to adapt.
Together, they perform a co-equal dance, finely tuning the universe to support maximum complexity and interesting, novel outcomes. A simulation is only worth running if it's interesting; the universe is no different."
Meaning is the "gravity" of the soul. It is what motivates us to bridge the gap between the visible and the invisible.
- The Outer Path: The Scientist | Artist attempting to understand visible minds (depending on preference for lateralization: left | right).
- The Inner Path: The Philosopher | Mystic attempting to understand invisible minds (depending on preference for lateralization: left | right).
- Synchronicity: These are the "signals" from the invisible world—meaningful coincidences that confirm when you are aligned with your true path.
Carl Jung
(1875-1961)
"Synchronicity postulates a meaning which is a priori in relation to human consciousness and apparently exists outside man."
Why does the Moon perfectly cover the Sun during an eclipse? Is it a "simulation Easter egg" or a signature of consciousness? I believe the universe is an intelligible masterpiece.

The "Hard Problem" of consciousness is only hard if you assume matter comes first. When you realize that Form is Emptiness and Emptiness is Form, the paradox dissolves. You are consciousness experiencing itself. It’s no problem at all.
Jalāl al-Dīn Muḥammad Rūmī

"You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop."
