Thought-forms and Primary Mental Cognitions as a Basis for the Formation of the Way Culture Knows the World
The study puts forward a number of hypotheses that can explain the nature and formation of thought-forms and mental cognitions as the basis on which a culture creates its unique way of knowing the world. The hypotheses were derived from a comparison of metaphysical and natural science (evidence-based) approaches. These scientific approaches identified three chronological types of civilisations that exist today. These civilisations still today use three different generalised ways of knowing the world. The way of knowing the world is determined by thought-forms, which are filled with basic (primary) cognitions. Thought-forms are universal for all mankind, but their cognitive content is unique for each culture. Thought-forms are organised in human psychic matter. They are filled with basic cognitions due to the matrix structure of psychic matter. Cultures develop around the way of knowing the world formed at the dawn of their birth. Cognitions that arise in the mental field as a functional of psychic matter are built exceptionally according to the already existing template, which is the way of knowing the world.
