Exploring the Depths of Consciousness: Edmund Husserl’s Natural Attitude versus Phenomenological Attitude

In performing the phenomenological reduction, phenomenology challenges our assumptions about an objective reality external to consciousness. Instead, it reveals a dynamic and mutually dependent interplay between the subject and the world, with the lifeworld serving as the shared horizon of our collective experiences. In adopting the phenomenological attitude, we embark on a journey that transcends the mundane and unveils the profound mysteries of consciousness, inviting us to explore the depths of our subjective worlds and the interconnectedness that binds us all. In the final analysis, a successful entry into the phenomenological attitude coincides with the realization that while as empirical egos we appear to be living in the world, as transcendental ego, it is the world that lives within us, a world that is constantly constructed and simultaneously lived as the field of play for consciousness itself. … More Exploring the Depths of Consciousness: Edmund Husserl’s Natural Attitude versus Phenomenological Attitude

Phenomenological Reduction: A Way To Transcend the World

In performing the Phenomenological Reduction, we do not deny the existence of the world and hour human cover but rather get to see them as what they are, as a persistent Heraclitean flux of appearances that contain within them being-sense, the sense of independent existence, which we simply have accepted and are captivated by them through this acceptedness. As Fink says in CM, “in actuality the world just is not, what alone is is only transcendental subjectivity and its constitutive life, the life of performing acts of meaning.” … More Phenomenological Reduction: A Way To Transcend the World

What is Nonduality: Perspectives on Nondual Realization

In nondual realization, there’s no phenomena experienced apart from pure or transcendental consciousness. There’s no me and you, no I set up against a world. So, it’s in that sense that it’s a non-worldly experience and not an other-worldly experience. There’s no such thing as another world; everything is here and now but only concealed by an apparent diversity of phenomena. In fact, the experience of being-human-in-the-world is nothing but a notion, a sheer idea having the same nature as that of a daydream; this very notion has apparently blocked the seeing of nonduality which is right in front of us and always present and available. … More What is Nonduality: Perspectives on Nondual Realization

Coming Across God

God is deaf; It is blind; It is dull, dark, and dumb. Ears and eyes and wit are windows to what’s outside of oneself. But there’s nothing outside of God, so God, mind you, is deaf; It is blind; It is dull, dark, and dumb. When I came across God, It perceived me not, for … More Coming Across God

Already Free

Phenomenological attitude is where I go for vacation. It’s an all-included package for free. It’s not mental, not intellectual, not even human attitude; it’s rather a spiritual perspective on the stream of experience effected by a shift from what I’m not but have accepted to be (i.e. human) to what I truly am but have … More Already Free

Prison Break

I have become world-loose again; warm and detached, I am nearing the sun that melts the shackles of these cunning appearances. I have a foot out, a foot in; an illusive essence and a human mask, a wavelength and a momentum. I’m not in the world, and not of it, at least tonight. The world … More Prison Break
