What is needed now is an unwavering discernment, the ability to unmask being as being, to closely interrogate an ever-present awareness at the heart of all experience. At the outset of any such investigation, we must forget all priors so as to come back to awareness afresh, to sit in silence with being, arms outstretched, to receive an untainted understanding. Abandon all preconceptions and beseech awareness. Retreat to being. The task should turn neither to intuition untempered, nor to reason constrained, but to a middle path of unbridled, honest study. What hints of reality’s unbounded queerness could be surmised from such an approach? Must not our science be equally as odd to unveil the oddities of reality? Any uncovered scientia from such methods obliterates the knowns of physicalism, the invented, inverted truths of physicalism: perceived multiplicity, the frailties of mind, and even death as a finality. And so, the inertia of the coming age is the need to investigate a world beneath a world. And until such a time when all fields of study are unshackled from the restraints of the physical, a new science will be born, and mankind will rejoice that the world is no longer lifeless.
