HUMAN ENDEAVOUR & THE PLAN OF GOD

The Knowledge Tree, first introduced by Francis Bacon in The Advancement of Learning (1605) and fully developed in De Augmentis Scientiarum (1623), is one of the earliest and most influential classifications of human knowledge.

Based on the three classical faculties of the mind—Memory, Imagination, and Reason—it organizes every branch of learning into a coherent and systematic framework. Together, these faculties constitute the human intellect, enabling humanity to preserve experience, exercise creative imagination, and discover truth through rational inquiry. Memory gives rise to History, Imagination to Poetry, and Reason to Philosophy, from which the sciences, humanities, and arts are further developed.

Bacon's taxonomy established a new vision of learning founded on observation, inquiry, and the continual advancement of knowledge. It represents the organization of human knowledge through the faculties of the mind and the development of the human intellect, and remains a timeless framework for understanding the unity and diversity of human thought.

Human Endeavour & the Plan of God presents a spiritual taxonomy of civilization, viewing every field of human activity as a means through which the divine Plan unfolds.

Francis Bacon organized knowledge through the three classical faculties of the mind:
  1. Memory
  2. Imagination
  3. Reason

This framework relates the development of human endeavour to the three faculties of the mind described in the Ageless Wisdom:
  1. the Lower Concrete Mind
  2. the Higher Mind 
  3. Intuition (Pure Reason)

T
ogether, they illustrate the evolution of consciousness from the acquisition of knowledge, through the understanding of ideas, to the direct perception of truth and spiritual purpose.

Education, science, government, religion, psychology, economics, the arts, and other disciplines are understood not as isolated fields, but as complementary expressions of humanity's evolving role within the Plan of God.

The taxonomy also encompasses the New Era Concepts—the spiritual principles, sciences, and emerging ideas that will shape the civilization of the coming age. It emphasizes the synthesis of knowledge and the contribution of every sphere of human endeavour to the evolution of consciousness and the externalization of the Plan of God.
