Truth Hidden in Plain Sight: Cosmos as the embodiment of consciousness

7 Nov 2014

The Primacy of Consciousness in the Constitution of Self and World Seeing is an instance of knowledge; in seeing an object is known to us, namely its identity is given to our consciousness; thus seeing is an experience that holds the knower-knowledge-known division. The study of the experience of seeing can give us clues into … More Truth Hidden in Plain Sight: Cosmos as the embodiment of consciousness

Being in Time: The Primacy of Consciousness

6 Nov 2014

We use the capital letter B in Being to distinguish Being from being. We follow Heidegger in doing so. Being cannot be defined; to define is to reduce to more basic and fundamental elements; but Being is the most fundamental category; there is nothing more fundamental to which Being can be reduced; thus, Being cannot … More Being in Time: The Primacy of Consciousness

Morphology of Truth II

3 Nov 2014

Truth is traditionally defined as that which cannot not be; it is necessary by its nature; it also has to be absolute. What is relative is dependent, and hence not marked by necessity but rather by accident. Truth cannot belong to the sphere of Being and existence; it is not something that can be said … More Morphology of Truth II

Morphology of Truth I

3 Nov 2014

Truth, if it exists at all, cannot be formulated or fit into a system. Truth cannot appear in the form of a proposition, for proposition is by definition refutable while truth is by definition irrefutable. Proposition belongs in the ontic sphere, realm of Being, while truth is essentially meontic, beyond-Being. Truth cannot be a matter … More Morphology of Truth I

The Ego Vertigo, or something…

2 Nov 2014

The grandeur of the world comes from the grandeur of the man who experiences that world. World is rooted in man’s consciousness.

Hypnotised by The Intricate Play of Consciousness

28 Oct 2014

Where We Are Wrong We have come to believe that there actually exists a real work in which we actually exist. We call it the external world; we experience and know this world through our senses. This external world exists independently of our experience of it. Experience is subjective while the world is objective. The … More Hypnotised by The Intricate Play of Consciousness

Human Condition & Existential Dementia

28 Oct 2014

The three questions “Who am I? Where did I come from? Where am I going?” constitute what I call the Existential Trinity. These three questions summarize all of the human questions that seek to find the meaning of life and existence. It was as attempts to answer these questions that the three traditions of religion, … More Human Condition & Existential Dementia

Man and Existence

30 Sep 2014

Creative Misunderstandings of Existentialism Jean-Paul Sartre was not a trained philosopher but a brilliant writer; he created philosophical literature but never a rigorous philosophy. He actually never studied philosophy academically, but he was under the influence of the phenomenological movement and its methods. Sartre’s existentialism is a misunderstanding of phenomenology and its tenets, for phenomenology … More Man and Existence

Mazed & Amazed

28 Sep 2014

Human as Veil Captivation in Acceptedness When we as human beings try to get a glimpse of truth we often fail to do so because truth is concealed by our very humanity. Our humanity is itself the first and the last and the only veil behind which The Absolute and The Infinite dwells. It is … More Mazed & Amazed
