Existential questions are often encountered but seldom answered in everyday life. However having been awakened by a conversation with a friend I decided to be more contemplative and to analyse my existence systematically. Why do I Live ? what is my meaning of Life ? What motivates me ? what is my philosophy of life?. Having thought over for a while I realize goals , ideals and visions are all too dynamic and emergent and may need persistant analysis and frequent updating. However I would attempt to try to answer my existential questions
My Dream for humanity
The state of the human condition is such that the illusionary boundary of the ego has finally been eroded and there is collective realisation of the oneness/ interdependence/ brahman/tawheed.
Having collectively realized the oneness , there is emergence of a global harmony with respect to all domains.
Environmentally sustainable economic systems
A balanced and meaning ful society rooted in love and compassion
compassion in dealing with all other living beings
Choice being available in every human action
PERSONAL GOALS
To have a world view centered on compassion and loving kindness
To treat everyone as i would like to be treated
To develop a nonjudgemental openess to differing world views
To have a flexible perspective and not be attached to a single conceptual view point
understand interdependence , impermenance and selflessness and to channel loving kindness in every act
To engage in contructive collaboration with openminded , awakwened individuals and to establish a common path towards a global harmony
MY CALLING
To bridge the gap between the perspectives of science , spirituality and philosophy
To demonstarte the biases in perception, thought and action and to identify a common way to overcome them
Understand the nature of perception and to understand the mystery of consciousness
To work towards changing the capitalistic and impersonal health care system to a holistic one
PASSIONS
cognitive science and Neurophilosophy
Understanding the Ego bias
Consciousness and its tricks
creating conditions for the emergence of an alternative society
MY PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE - THE EIGHT RELATIVE TRUTHS
1.Impermenance - everything passes away 2.Synchronic Interdependence- reality is dynamic flux of interdependant variables 3.Self is a delusion - self is a concept and intentionality and agency are illusions 4.suffering is inherent in individuality - 5.The umwelt is a perceptual bubble - the limits of our perception is set by our evolutionary history - the limit of our umwelt is our event horizon for perception 6.All perception is fallible - all perception is within the event horizon of the umwelt . 7.All truth is relative - as there is no independent observer 8.All knowledge is fallible |
