Tertium Organum: The Third Canon of Thought, a Key to the Enigmas of the World
About This Book
Ouspensky's independent philosophical masterwork — written before his encounter with Gurdjieff and representing his own attempt to construct a theory of consciousness and reality adequate to the mystical and psychic experiences he was having. Drawing on Kant, Hinton, and his own inner exploration, he argues for the existence of higher dimensions of space and time accessible through higher states of consciousness, and develops a logic of relations between the world of facts and the world of consciousness.
What You'll Learn
Ordinary three-dimensional thinking is inadequate for grasping the nature of consciousness and reality — a new logic (the tertium organum) is needed that can hold contradictions and paradoxes without forcing them into conventional categories. Higher dimensions of space — the fourth dimension and beyond — are accessible through states of expanded consciousness rather than mathematical extrapolation. The mystical experience of unity and infinity, far from being irrational, represents a higher form of rationality than the ordinary three-dimensional mind can attain.
