Contrary to Plato and Badiou

(It is the power of appearance that leads us astray.
- Plato (Protagoras, 356 D)

"Ontology is mathematics."--Badiou) 1988 ---or did he mean that satirically?

What Plato, and the Eastern guru's mean by appearance is the real, and what they think is the real is only that, a thought. It is rather the power of the mind that leads us astray. The mind can lead us into definition and mathematics and away from the refined material, or evolved Real, which leads---after evolution activated by the material Spirit-Will, and guided by the Mind-Soul---to the Supreme Real Object, or Objects: Godhood.
