Athanasius Kircher’s Sephirothic Tree Illustration From Oedipus Aegyptiacus (1652–54) 

The spiritual correlative of what we find externally in the world as the relations between the signs of the Zodiac and the seven planets familiar in Spiritual Science.

The natural method involves seeking consistency and equilibrium among different modes of analysis applied to the study of some mental phenomenon…In the case of dreams, phenomenology, will supply us with first-person reports about how dreams seem, especially how particular dreams seem from the point of view of the person who has the dream.

The mental sciences—psychology, cognitive science, and neuroscience—are needed to provide answers to a host of questions that are not answered by how things seem, even if we take how they seem to be as how they really are for the dreamer. The mental sciences will tell us about the objective side of dreams.

In classical empiricist approaches, we could say that our ways of talking depend upon the world; to the extent that our talk is rooted, or grounded in what the facts of the world will permit or allow us to say, our talk is about what we ‘find’ to be there. 

On the other hand, in line with hermeneutical or interpretive views, it is equally true to say that what we take to be the nature of the world depends upon our ways of talking about it; thus, to the extent that it is they that ‘give’ or ‘lend’ it intelligible (and legitimate) structure and significance, it is as we ‘make’ it to be.

Gregg Henriques’ Tree of Knowledge System

[A] theory of scientific knowledge that defines the human knower in relation to the known. It achieves this novel accomplishment by solving the problem of psychology and giving rise to a truly consilient view of the scientific landscape. It accomplishes this via dividing the evolution of behavioral complexity into four different planes of existence….The ToK also characterizes modern empirical natural science as a kind of justification system that functions to map complexity and change.
