Reference: Postulate Mechanics (PM)

The five traditional physical senses are sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. The sixth ‘thought sense’ assimilates the sensation from these physical senses.

1. If there is no prior knowledge, the thought sense advances a postulate to assimilate the sensation. 
2. As the physical sensations continue to arrive, the thought sense starts to formulate a “theory of universe.”
3. The word “universe” implies the assimilation of all sensations into oneness of harmony, consistency and continuity.

The Postulates

The universe can be sensed and known; therefore, the first postulate is: SUBSTANTIALITY. This is the ‘sat’ part of the Vedic description of the ultimate reality as “sat-chit-ananda.” This means the universe has substance.

The universe can actually sense and know; therefore, the second postulate is: AWARENESS. This is the ‘chit’ part of the Vedic description of the ultimate reality as “sat-chit-ananda.” This means the universe is aware of itself.

The universe is the oneness of all sensations; therefore, the third postulate is: ONENESS. This is the ‘ananda’ part of the Vedic description of the ultimate reality as “sat-chit-ananda.” This means that universe has the wonderful power of assimilation.

The Theory

The substance of the universe may be divided into the categories: (1) Matter, (2) Energy, and (3) Thought. Each category has a different degree of substantiality, which may be referred to as “thickness.” It is visible as density, firmness, viscosity, etc.

Matter has the most thickness called “mass.” Energy is considered to have no mass, but it still has some thickness, which is sensed as motion and measured as “frequency.” Thought has thickness, which is sensed mentally as “fixation,” the opposite of which is “freedom.” For example, bigotry and hate has much more thickness than tolerance and love. 

Awareness starts with sensations. Awareness increases as sensations assimilate into perceptions; perceptions assimilate into conceptions; and conceptions assimilate into knowledge. Different areas of the universe have different degree of awareness.

Oneness arises from assimilation of sensations, perceptions, conceptions and knowledge. It appears as harmony, consistency and continuity. The observer (subject) and the observed (object)  are in complete harmony. Bliss, rationality. beauty, health, etc., arise from oneness. The ultimate goal of the universe is attaining oneness.

Postulate Mechanics

Postulate Mechanics identifies “Substantiality-Awareness-Oneness” to be the fundamental postulate underlying this universe. The reality of the universe follows from this postulate.
