Meditations on the nature of consciousness & phenomenological philosophy
Dated November 3rd, 2013 The world that we know is just a saying; it is pure hearsay. We know of it from the mouths of our so called world-professionals, from scientists, psychologists, cosmologists, philosophers and theologians, who have confused their inquiries about the world with the world itself; as if they cannot know the simplest … More Breast & Phenomenology of World
From time immemorial philosophers and theologians of nondual traditions, those taking the Ultimate Reality to be a one invisible and indivisible whole, have struggled to understand how this One thing appears as the many things of our phenomenal world. There is no doubt that the world of phenomena is diverse and ephemeral. But there is … More How Does The One Become The Many
I really liked the following quote which is quoted by Aldous Huxley in his book The Perennial Philosophy: “Ga-San instructed his adherents one day: ‘Those who speak against killing, and who desire to spare the lives of all conscious beings are right. It is good to protect even animals and insects. But what about those … More Thou Shall Not Kill
We as we know ourselves are the products of our own beliefs. We as we should know ourselves are the holder of all beliefs, and hence essentially free and perfect. This world, this human constitution and history, is nothing but a hearsay. All that is is only accepted to be. The “I” which playfully entertains … More To Feel at Home While Living in The World
One must look upon manifestation, or phenomenon, as the visible tip of an iceberg. Visible phenomena are rooted in the invisible, yet intelligible, abyss. Veiling and unveiling always occur simultaneously. A visible cup would not be visible if it didn’t have missing sides, sides facing away from the viewer. When one moves around a tree … More Manifestation & Nothingness

What stands between man and truth is the baggage of his convictions. In the path toward the source our ideas and symbols are only to play … More Truth and Tradition
The secret is this: You are what you consider yourself to be. Full realization of this secret brings about salvation, namely liberation par excellence. See that what and who you think you are is what you have continuously accepted yourself to be. It is through repetitive acceptance that you form an idea of your identity … More The Secret of Transformation
Consciousness is by nature consciousness-of something. It is not that consciousness is at liberty to have or not to have an object. There cannot be consciousness without it being consciousness-of something. This characteristic is not an attribute of consciousness; it is its essence. It is called Intentionality or the intentional structure of consciousness. This feature is also … More The Mystery of Existence
Supreme science is the science of the first and the highest principles. It is known as metaphysics in the strictest sense of the word and not metaphysics as wrongly associated with the supernatural. The principal subject of metaphysics, according to Aristotle, is Being qua Being, Being as such. Thus, metaphysics is an a priori science, … More Metaphysics: The Supreme Science
The Almighty is the substratum of the acts of cognition. From the standpoint of a radical empiricism, one yet concealed to the positive sciences, the brute fact of reality is: There is nothing but experience. If experience is divisible into distinct cognitive acts this divisibility is itself something experienced by a consciousness, the witness consciousness. Consciousness of … More The Act & The Almighty
