The scientific method has furnished humanity with exceptional benefits. This section includes articles which examine the underlying assumptions of science, particularly in the area of cause-effect relationships.
By using simple analysis we can recognise that the fundamental cause for all physical phenomena must be "meta" physical, and that all systems are in effect, self-organising systems.
A Clearer Light (reprint)
Excerpt:
There is absolutely no reason we cannot switch humanity to a correct perception of the world—and there are profound benefits in doing so.
The first benefit does not affect physicists (as physicists), and that is the spreading of the philosophical joy of discovering the mental nature of the universe. We have no idea what this means; and we seem to have no hope of ever learning what it means; but—the great thing is—it is true. Physics cannot help anyone from this point onwards. You may, if you wish, descend into solipsism (but do be careful not to blush); or, you can expand to the Deism of George Washington and Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Adams and Thomas Jefferson and the other non-Christian founders of America; or … something else, if you can justify it—just don’t ask physics for help!

Key Principle of Life, for Life No. 2
KPLL No.2 affirms the inability to meaningfully analyse parts independent of their relationship to the whole (as any independence requires nonsense disconnects that are meaningless and contrary to KPLL No. 1).
The world around us co-exists with us at-once -- no science, at least none that rely on measurable confirmations (reliant on speed-of-light delays) can fully and entirely confirm that at-once nature. That is to say, there will remain a fullness (wholeness) to life that will not be fully revealed by scientific inquiry.
Key Principle of Life, For Life No. 2:
All occurs at once
Individuals and communities exist at-once.
‘Parts’ and ‘wholes’ have validity, reality and purpose
through an at-once interdependence of each other.
‘Parts’ and ‘wholes’ have validity, reality and purpose

Proof of the impossibility of physical movement
Overview
Standard scientific beliefs are that when we move, say a finger through a small distance, it does so by moving through an infinite number of very small "infinitesimal" steps. This proof asks a very basic question: What is the electrical, chemical activity in the body that can account for, and control that infinite-step process?
