Prajñā

In Buddhism, Prajñā denotes the first two steps in the Eightfold path, completed last, as ‘perfect view’ and ‘perfect resolve’.

Importing this word into Panosophy, Prajñā is essentially cognate with Gnosis, where a Holoramic view of the Totality of Existence is realized through Samādhi, steps six, seven, and eight in the path that constitutes the last of the Four Noble Truths, corresponding to Collumination.

paradigm

The basic paradigm for our cognitive studies of the world we live in is the fundamental law of the Universe, called the Principle of Unity in Panosophy, stating, Wholeness is the union of all opposites. This paradoxical paradigm, which Heraclitus of Ephesus aptly called the Hidden Harmony, denotes a peaceful, both-and way of life, in contrast to the conflict-ridden, either-or approach, which has dominated human affairs during the five or six thousand years of the patriarchal epoch.
