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
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
That modern science is dogmatic both in its foundations and method, and also in its self-assessment and self-understanding, is a matter of fact that is not very well known to the public, and particularly to the fans, or perhaps fanatics, of science. To object to science nowadays, even by an objective objection, is almost as … More Science As Dogma
The strangeness of the microscopic world, aka the quantum world, is best captured in a famous experiment known as The Double Slit Experiment. It is a simple experiment that shows how our intuitive ideas of matter and reality don’t hold anymore. This experiment shows the essence of quantum mechanics and why it is so strange … More A Visual Account of Quantum Strangeness
I have discovered that Yin-Yang and Golden Ratio are different representations of one and the same metaphysical principle.

This is of course similar to the Hegelian trinity in his interpretation of history: Thesis-Antithesis-Synthesis. After giving a short account … More Yin-Yang: The Geometric Equivalent of The Golden Ratio

Salutations to my revered Guru whose blessing and grace is the light of the Self and the guide of intelligence; may it be that we speak only of truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. The path of knowledge as the highest undertaking for the attainment of truth is designed for the intellectually … More Toward Truth: The Way of The Gnostic
It was in the nineteenth century that sciences began to determine the total worldview of man. Prior to that century it was not so clear that science’s theoretical grasp of natural order based on the purely quantitative aspect of phenomena had anything to do with the reality of human existence. Prior to nineteenth century in … More Science and Prejudice
Why does man raise questions? There are many criteria based on which man is distinguished from animal, such as language and logic. One peculiar aspect of man, in contrast with animals, is his ability to refuse to accept matters of fact, to turn away in the face of the inevitable, to act as if, to … More Questionable World: A Phenomenology of Wonder
Each sphere of phenomenal Being can be divided into three complementary, logical moments: There is the ego which is the act center, the reference point relative to which the acts is defined and determined as the act that it is; then there are acts themselves which are by nature intentional: They have a center from … More Ego-Cogito-Cogitata
