INVOCATION: I shall now declare unto you in full this knowledge, both phenomenal and numinous. This being known, nothing further shall remain for you to know.

This first section analyzes some key concepts that have generated quintessential discourses within human society since time immemorial. In particular, I will focus on two ideologies that have often confronted one another, at times creating conflict and disunity within society while at other times these very same ideologies have complimented one another to help bring peace and harmony. Eastern philosophy is founded on the dialectic of Spiritualism and Materialism, while its counterpart dialogue in western philosophy is Idealism and Humanism.
