"LOGIC
Where is LOGIC?
Shall I search like Diogenes, to find even one man?
The gift of sacred geometry is the training of the mind in logic.
Logical thought isn’t everything there is to truth! But it is an inescapable component.
As Plato wrote it out in the dialogue of Socrates and Parmenedes, 4th century BC: “Starting with the same premise, one can reach, thru perfectly logical steps, any conclusion you wish; as well as its exact opposite, provided you have enough steps.” (-Rabdullah, Commentaries, 1461)

The logic behind how Logic can prove and disprove any proposition given enough steps:
It is because logic uses language, and language is never precise. No matter how detailed, it is the mind of the hearer that creates its own images and understandings.
Just as the overtones and undertones of a stringed instrument will resonate and create ambiguous shadings.
A logical argument which always moves with the language to the “left” will eventually come around to the exact opposite conclusions as a mirror like slant always to the “right”.
This is one mental mechanism for the thought loops that keep most of us enslaved most of the time.
And then, logically of course, one must also question the proposition itself. “Question authority” is the only way you can come to know the true authenticity that gives real authority."
