Is maths direct experience.

5 posts in this topic

The most fundamental and verifiable truth is direct experience. If you directly experience something, it is the truth, is it real.
In the same way, isnt math just a bunch of logic? Cant we experience logic in our mind? Does that mean we directly experience math and it is also a undeniable truth? 
for eg : How do we know 1+1 = 2? Logic. And we directly experience that logic. We feel it in our mind and conclude that 1+1 = 2. 
What is logic anyway except guidance for the truth to express itself.
If someone has any insight on this topic please share it, I am still a bit confused.

Is it?

Or is it a language? A language is a concept. Or overlay. Added onto experience.

The operations surely aren't direct experience: plus, minus, power, root, factorial.... These are man made concepts for observed behaviour.

Yes, but it is a meta point.

When Leo or anyone talks about direct experience, they usually means the pure/clean reality.

But if reality is one thing, "concepts" and language must be direct experience and reality. They dont exist outside reality. Concepts are direct experience too because you are experiencing them.

I see imaginary numbers everywhere:D


God-Realize, this is First Business. Know that unless I live properly, this is not possible.

There is this body, I should know the requirements of my body. This is first duty.  We have obligations towards others, loved ones, family, society, etc. Without material wealth we cannot do these things, for that a professional duty.

There is Mind; mind is tricky. Its higher nature should be nurtured, then Mind becomes Wise, Virtuous and AWAKE. When all Duties are continuously fulfilled, then life becomes steady. In this steady life GOD is available; via 5-MeO-DMT, because The Sun shines through All: Living in Self-Love, Realizing I am Infinity & I am God

Math is logical but that's not what math is. Math is a way of describing reality. 

Logical just means an accurate translation of meaning between different languages, symbols or domains of reality.

Why is the sea king of a hundred streams?

Because it lies below them.
