We live in a world of limitations and restrictions to our physical existence but our spirits/souls wish to roam free. We learn something new everyday from every experience regardless of their nature but how we see the lesson from the experience determines how we feel about it. This is because the physical side of life compliments the intangible side of life rather than work in an antagonistic way. By knowing what is in us we can see the world and...

Since it is the UNDERSTANDING that sets man above the rest of sensible beings, and gives him all the advantage and dominion which he has over them, it is certainly a subject, even for its nobleness, worth our labour to inquire into. The understanding, like the eye, whilst it makes us see and perceive all other things, takes no notice of itself, and it requires and art and pains to set it at a distance and make it its own object. But, whatever be the...

A Dissemination of The Truth,as reasonable an account as may be consideredfrom the limiting physical perspective.Many of you have no doubt heard the phrase; "we are spiritual beings, having physical experiences." This takes some "out-side-the-box" thinking for most, even if they've heard it before, even if they think they understand it. The difficulty we have with grasping the depth of this truism lies in the fact we rely almost exclusively on our...

In the early 20th century, discoveries in quantum mechanics, specifically the double slit experiment, proved Consciousness is the ground of existence. This finding contradicted scientific materialism, which posited matter as foundational, with Consciousness resulting from physical nature, instead, physical nature results from Mind. Moreover, Consciousness was antecedently linked to a First Mind or God. Suddenly, our perception of reality was toppled...

Por ello entendemos que el discernimiento de los núcleos problemáticos formulados en otro período histórico, pueden resultar de interés para el pensamiento contemporáneo si se tiene como...

For centuries, science and religion often have been viewed as in direct conflict. Now recent discoveries in the field of quantum physics are dissolving those perceived differences and revealing the similarities between (indeed, the intersection of) these two disciplines.
Mind over Matter dispels the outdated belief that the nature of reality is not that conceived by so many for so long-from early Greek philosophers to Newtonian physics and even some...

One of the most poetic and beautiful sections of The Notebooks, it explores the paradoxical nature of the Overself, where...

Addendum: Unorthodox, Ontological Analogy Concerning Existence and Reality, is meant as an introduction to metaphysics; a word coined my Aristotle to express a reality other than the physical. We begin with a focus on consciousness, followed by an emphasis on ancient Greek wisdom. At times we will wander in rivulets to other topics along the way.
The scope of this treatises is, as said and introduction to the ancient metaphysical wisdoms, but also...
