I can understand mathematics revealing a pattern in things and thus
offering the opportunity for one to believe that there is some kind of
"Cosmic consistency and law" further opening up a person to justifiably
wonder if there really is a purpose-filled Consciousness "who" formulated a
rational, logical structure to the universe.  For some, this would be all
the proof one would need to conclude that "God" surely does exist.

However, just because someone is privy to the blueprints of the foundation
of a building doesn't mean they can tell you what is inside the building.
There is also the possibility that the "blueprints" were formulated by a
'lowly' Cosmic engineer who may have merely gotten the stamp of approval
from the "Biggest Wig" - hence, the universe is not "really" the work of God.

Moreover, in what way would mathematics provide a person access to a
"gateway to the higher planes?"  One could build a machine to possibly take
one there, but that would be using the "outer" rather than the "inner" to
approach the "higher planes."  From what's been said on this list, even if
we did manage to build something to crash into the house of a "Master"
there's no evidence that he/she would even acknowledge us and he/she may
just simply call the authorities accompanied by demands that your
time-machine license be revoked.
