Part 4: The Logical & The Illogical

Understanding logic's inherent connection with the principle of structure

This article is part of the Unified Consciousness Framework series. To gain the maximum benefit from reading this series it would be wise to read them sequentially.

There are many sections we will come across later on in the framework which cover the concept of the logical and the illogical in a variety of different ways. We will find ourselves continually returning to these concepts, although they will be presented to us in different guises each time. The reasons for this will become more apparent as we continue on. It is for this reason that the logical and its counterpart, the illogical, are important concepts to take a brief moment to contemplate upon.

We find, especially in our modern society, that there is a certain emphasis which has become placed on logic and on us trying to be as logical as possible. With such an emphasis being placed upon logic, have you ever sat down and really put your finger on what it means to say that someone or something is logical? We often see that there is an inference being made that if someone is not being logical there is a certain element of instability to their actions, and perhaps even a degree of insanity that may be present. We typically find ourselves being wary of such individuals or avoiding them entirely.

Although, on the surface of it, this attitude towards them may appear to us to be perfectly logical, as seekers of Truth we must be willing to dig deeper into our behaviours and perceptions in order to arrive at a clearer understanding of exactly what the concept of logic relates to. By delving deeper, it may be possible for us to then understand why logic has become viewed as something which holds such a value and, in so doing, we are also able to reveal something to ourselves about the way we collectively look at the world.

If we really look to the core of logic as a concept then, and all of the different ways this often becomes related to the world around us, it is possible for us to become aware of a principle which exists at its core, regardless of any specific scenario of its existence that may be being referred to. We can become aware of the fact that whenever the concept of logic is being referred to it is relating to, from one perspective, the idea of a structure existing. This is regardless of whether it is relating to the way we think, talk, act, or even exist.
