Essay 2 –Life Philosophy – Rough draft

Over years I had to experience a lot of negative and positive things in order to get a balance in my life. I was always trying to find something that will give me the secret of happiness, whether it was in religions, in relationships, or even in money. I can also say that I’ve read a lot about actual human behavior in order to understand reactions, feelings and thoughts (also to control mine) but none of that ever got me far. I had to go through life searching for “a thing” that will make everything else make sense, without knowing that I had the answer in my own hands all the time. The answer is now my life philosophy, and it resumes itself in three words: love, light, and soul.
Before I go further, I have to make clear that this is not a religious issue. I studied the bible and practiced different religions for a long time, and ultimately i decided NOT to follow any entity, but I do like eastern ideologies. I took from them, some theories that helped me constructing my principles; I will share them with you so that you will get a bigger picture of my view. This is what I’ve learned.
We all come from the same source, we all respond to the same nature, and our purest being is the soul. The soul is not the body, the body responds to physic laws and limits, and it won’t go beyond those. Your body is just a tool to interact in this three-dimensional world, but even if someone explores our brains will not find numbers, letters, or pictures in there. Our memory, our imagination, our intuition are just parts or levels of our conscience, and they are not solid. Our spirit isn’t either, it is space-less and timeless, and it contains our first-born essence, which is love and light.
We come to this world with all the answers, but when we grow up we get distracted. We start

    These larger questions of the soul and the mind and their existence beyond human death has been debated and explored throughout time. Yet, we lack hard evidence to support the idea of the existence of the soul and its continued ‘life’ beyond the death of the body. Individuals have not returned from the grave to transmit this knowledge in any manner that can be tested, studied, and deemed true. What a soul is and why we have it is unique to the human experience. The Abrahamic traditions defines the soul as the “I” that lives within our body and acts through it. The soul is what makes each individual unique according to theologian Thomas Aquinas. Noted philosophers Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, all argued that the psyche or, the soul, was the “crown of the logical facilities”. Yet the mind is responsible for processing our human experiences and storing them as learned experiences that shape and mold our continued existence.…

    The human body and soul can be viewed in several different possibilities. These can include Monist who believes the body and soul are connected together. It describes the soul as being responsible for the body’s physical movements, leaving the soul to die when the body does so. The duelist allow the body and soul to be two different entities which allows either the soul to live on or the body; but in a different form. Views can also be looked on as Gnostics which places a higher focus on knowledge rather than action. Its sub form is rather interesting as well; Docetism. This view of life is that life itself is simply not real and only an illusion. This illusion will eventually pass, and at this point you will be shown the real reality. With this idea people are supposed to either live a very simple life, or embrace all the pleasures it has to offer in order to flee the illusion.…

    Key critical issues in the study of Eastern Religion may include why does religion exist? The most evident answer is that it serves many human needs (Experiencing the world’s religions: tradition, challenge, and change Molly, M. 2012). Some people may not agree with this statement, as they are not believers of any religion. Also, in some religions, people believe they have a human purpose and are part of a divine plan. This may also be a critical issue with someone who does not believe religion should actually exist.…

    Cartesian Dualism

    • 5 Pages

    The mind, or ‘soul’ as it has come to be known to some, is classified as a ‘non-physical entity’ that is separate from the brain by Cartesian Dualists and linked to (but still different from) the brain by Property Dualists. These are perfectly reasonable ways to look at it as such concepts as qualia and privileged access and the fact that mental phenomena lack spatial features support these theories. While Materialists may doggedly reject Dualism, it can be noted that some of their arguments are by no means iron-clad, including their trump card, the ‘interaction problem’. Also, Materialistic arguments fail to address and explain our mental experiences taking…

    Some people, also known as dualists, disagree with this statement, as they believe in the existence of soul in human beings. NDE is one their main arguments. They claim that NDEs show there must be a part of us that can exist without our bodies, because a patient once heard the conversation of the surgeons during her operation of the brain where her senses should be numb. This also proves that the soul is free from the body. Moreover, some dualists feel like there is something which is in charge of their body, however, separate to it and human beings are not simply a physical body. Also, they think the soul is what makes human unique and different to animals. Without that, humans are nothing special.…

    The human being consists of two aspects - of an immortal spirit and of a mortal body. The flesh comes like a gift of the mother Earth and the spirit of the father God. We dedicate excessively big attention to the first one, but nearly nothing to the latter one; and sometimes we even forget that it exists. However, there is a saying that a shirt is always closer to the body than a coat.…

    The issues focused on whether a soul exists or not; I personally think that we do have a soul therefore, I disagree with this statement ‘there is no soul’. The main reason to that is because I believe that our soul is our identity and without our soul we are left with nothing but our body which then leaves us the same as every other human on this earth however, the only thing that can actually differ us from other human beings in order to make such a creative world is by us having an individual soul.…

    In December 1783 Johann Friedrich Zöllner published an article in Berlinische Monatsschrift that stated his opposition to civil marriage, an idea proposed in a previous issue of the journal. Zöllner wrote that the foundations of morality had been shaken in the name of enlightenment and concluded his piece with the question “what is enlightenment?” Zöllner asserted that this question must first be answered before “one begins to enlighten”[1]. Immanuel Kant’s reply to Zöllner’s question is often considered the most famous and most important. In his essay, Kant succinctly outlined his opinion on what enlightenment is, the obstacles to enlightenment and how individuals achieve enlightenment.…

    Our Core Essence. Deep down we are all beautiful beings worthy of love and support. The sweet innocence of babies and young children is a clear example of this. Yet for most of us, the shining essence with which we came into this life became obscured over the years as our family and others were unable to give us the kind of unconditional love and support us to craved. As children, when we were repeatedly told that we were not good enough or were punished just for being who we are, thick layers of confusion and doubt developed, clouding our divine essence. Layers of fear and insecurity were woven into out personalities.…
