Reason or Intelligence lets one perceive and comprehend (see and know) all of the universe, altho' our limited human type and ability of thinking is probably at least two levels below what is needed to truly know ineffability and to really manifest and experience the empyreal and quintessence. To accomplish this, we likely must mate with our computers, and then take another unknowable step above even that. Only then will we -- or at least our offspring -- have the ability to truly know reality, existence, and the infinite universe. Only then will we be able to experience our world directly, profoundly, and completely. In the interim, the following chart shows the ordering of reality which currently falls within the range of our perception:
(from the fundamental to the elevated)
universe, existence, and reality: this includes time and space, space and matter, matter and energy, energy and entropy, etc.
being, truth, knowledge, facts, and information
self-evidency, tautology, definitions, laws of identity, equality, truth, and reality
logic and math -- and their many laws and theorems
becoming, change, and causality in time and space
physics -- and its many laws and forces
chemistry -- and its many laws and forces
biology -- and its many laws and forces
consciousness and intellectual information processing/ordering -- as in animals
rational self-awareness, sentience of mortality, and true intelligence -- as in humans
metaphysics, naturology, epistemology, abstract philosophy, sophisticated complex subtle thought/analysis, and pure rationality
morality, ethics, courtesy, respect, refined culture, high civilization, and noble heroic society
business, economics, sociology, and politics
psychology and art
love, longing, hope, ambition; profound awareness of own sentience, consciousness, self, life, death, other sentients, and universe
spirituality: this includes transcendence and sublimity -- and is the diametric opposite of god
