Graduation Cap
Radical Metaphysical School
400-200 B.C.E.
Sage--Kapila
Thinking Cap
Dualism (much like how science of the Enlightenment Period competed with religious explanation during the 1600s & 1700s)--Kapila believed the visible world was not a manifestation of the Divine.
Tree and Brain
Nature separate and completely distinct from the universal consciousness, a radio signal we can all tune in.
Glasses
Cosmology--"study of the origins and eventual fate of the universe" Wikipedia--difference between the seer (purusha) and that which is seen.

So the school failed but . . . these ideas were incorporated and carried on as building blocks:
Girl and Boy
separate forms of reality
(1) PURUSHA--Male--all knowing, without beginning and without ending, no features or characteristics, exist without motion or form as pure CONSCIOUSness
(2) PRAKTRITI--Female--UNCONCIOUS--constant motion, active, distinct, creative, formative--qualities assigned to all of nature, material world. Everything created through the manifestations of her nature (gunas).
