Social Consciousness

This is a book about Nothing. You could also say it’s a book about Everything. Most accurately perhaps, it’s a book about Nothing-as-Everything and Everything-as-Nothing. It takes as its spine an account of a specific experience that seemed to happen to me, during which there wasn’t very much “Me” around. There have been many names given to these kinds of “non-experiences”, depending on what tradition or viewpoint they are being seen from.

Voici le jardin du philosophe. On y cueillera des fruits mûris sur le tronc de la sagesse commune et dorés à cette autre lumiére des idées. Ils en reprennent leur saveur d'origine, qui est le goût de l'existence. Saveur oubliée en nos pensées ; car on voudrait s'assurer que l'existence est bonne et on ne le peut ; on en décoit donc l'espérance par précaution, prononcant qu'elle est mauvaise.

Delving deeply into each of these major focuses, Consciousness Reality & Purpose sets the listener upon a journey into themselves, the reality around them, and towards a fulfilling sense of purpose in the lives we each have to experience.

This is not a self-help book, or a book of specific guidance. In fact, it was written because too many works that claim to help you find your way either disappear into meaningless abstraction or are so petty and particular they fall at the first hurdle, teaching control instead of acceptance. Come with Arthur and Chirag as they discuss the ways they have sought understanding and progress over time, both within and without.

Without consciousness there is nothing. Have you ever wondered why and how the world around you came to exist, and whether there might be an afterlife experience awaiting you after our physical bodies die? Might there actually be a God and a heaven of some sort? The hypothesis presented in this book is that our seemingly physical universe of matter and energy is a virtual simulation which is thought into existence by a universal consciousness which we call God.

For Epicurus, the purpose of philosophy was to attain the happy, tranquil life, characterized by peace and freedom from fear, the absence of pain, and by living a self-sufficient life surrounded by friends. He taught that pleasure and pain are the measures of what is good and evil; death is the end of both body and soul and should therefore not be feared; the gods neither reward nor punish humans; the universe is infinite and eternal; and events in the world are ultimately based on the motions and interactions of atoms.

In this thought-provoking essay, Life Coach and Author Joseff McKenneth Goodwin, explores how modern civilization, shaped by a “colonized dream,” manipulates our beliefs, relationships, and overall existence.

Blending philosophical insights with spiritual perspectives, it uncovers how societal conditioning has trapped us in cycles of self-sacrifice, emotional disconnection, and constant striving for external validation.

Una nueva y radical interpretación žižekiana de Hegel —el hombre y su obra—, un gigante de la filosofía que cambiará nuestra forma de pensar en la era poshumana en la que nos adentramos. Lejos de ser un estudio corriente, Hegel y el cerebro conectado nos muestra nuestro mundo actual bajo una perspectiva hegeliana. Slavoj Žižek analiza las consecuencias de la creación de un vínculo entre nuestros procesos mentales y una máquina digital y explora el concepto de singularidad al que da lugar el hecho de compartir con otras personas nuestras experiencias y pensamientos.

"L'exercice philosophique a pour enjeu l'insaisissable nous privant du délai qui assure la sécurité de la pensée et du discours". Vladimir Jankélévitch. "Rien n'est moins subtil, rien n'est moins systématique au fond que cette vision du monde derrière laquelle se cache une expérience douloureuse. Jamais cette pensée n'est figée, solidifiée dans une rhétorique implacable, au contraire l'oralité confère le jaillissement, la spontanéité, la redite." Françoise Schwab.

Dis-moi ce que tu ne peux concevoir et je te dirai les limites de ta pensée! Pourquoi est-il si difficile d'envisager sereinement le contraire de nos opinions? Les oppositions semblent pourtant indispensables à la structuration de notre esprit. À commencer par le bien et le mal, le vrai et le faux, le juste et l'injuste. Philosopher à travers les contraires est un combat à pratiquer avec nous-mêmes pour enfin réfléchir. À recommander pour se libérer des raideurs qui nous paralysent et prendre plaisir à entrevoir l'unité de l'être à travers ses oppositions.

We all long for boundless love as we long for home. But how can we find our home our meaning and purpose if we don't know our self? Wise-Love is an exploration of the self, or consciousness, guided through the meditative eyes of saints, sages, seers, and mystics. As we embark on the journey to the self, we discover that the self's most charming characteristic part of its eternal, unchanging nature is that it is a lover, a lover who can be satisfied only when ordinary love evolves into wise-love.
