AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I have been thinking about how Science evolves. It seems to follow a recurring cycle: Socratic questioning, Platonic vision, and Aristotelian system-building. Over time, systems harden, then a new cycle begins, rising like a spiral staircase. This resembles Hegel’s dialectic, though this alternative framing adds the symbolic anchors of Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle. Please share your thoughts.🔬🧪⚛️🪐

Science evolves as humanity evolves. The scientific advances you recount are because the evolutionary power, Shakti, was dancing in Europe. Reason, democracy, science, art, empires were all happening there. Socrates and others were instruments, not the cause. The Shakti has now shifted to Asia with India as the centre, so you will see now that new instruments will arise here with new discoveries, before which the past discoveries will fade away. 

Yes, evolution, whether in the individual or the collective, is a spiral process. The same is true of everything that is coming into being. The maker first makes a rough design, then returns and re-returns to the picture to fill in the details. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da
