Franklin Merrell-Wolff continues this series by considering the sixth assumption or postulate; namely, that the All is not completely determinate, but is a complex of determinate-indeterminate. He discusses the discoveries of twentieth-century physics that led to the statistical nature of law and the principle of uncertainty. He introduces a lengthy parenthetical statement on tulku reincarnation, which properly belongs to the discussion of reincarnation in part 2 of this series; this statement is based upon the organization of the principles of man as presented in the work of Sri Aurobindo, in the septenary schema of Esoteric Buddhism, and in the quaternary schema of the Taraka yoga system. Wolff then returns to a consideration of the seventh postulate regarding our range of freedom and moral responsibility. He introduces another parenthetical statement on the role pure mathematics plays in providing a dependable form to express pure metaphysical substance. In yet another parenthetical statement, he suggests a modification of Northrop’s conceptions of the aesthetic and theoretic continuums in order to stress the theoretical genius of the West and the importance of pure mathematics as a yogic discipline for Western man.
