Michael Hamlin - 🏳️‍🌈Do any of you live in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/murfreesboro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#murfreesboro</a> or at least the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/nashville" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nashville</a> area? I'm hoping to make some new friends. We've kept a bit to ourselves a lot the last few years, but I'm trying to open up and make new connections. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#art</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/painting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#painting</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/tennessee" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tennessee</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/lgbt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lgbt</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/gamer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gamer</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/cat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cat</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/philosophy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#philosophy</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/buddhism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#buddhism</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/hinduism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hinduism</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/vedanta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#vedanta</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/lgbtqia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lgbtqia</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/neurodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#neurodiversity</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/autism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#autism</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/adhd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#adhd</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ocd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ocd</a>

earthlingThe Essential Vedanta: A New Source Book of Advaita VedantaThis book will be of great interest to all students of Hinduism, students of both Eastern and Western philosophy, and spiritual seekers who wish to better understand this ancient Indian tradition of non-dualist thought.<a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@bookstodon</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#books</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/nonfiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nonfiction</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/religion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#religion</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/India" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#India</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Hinduism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hinduism</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Vedanta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Vedanta</a>

Rachel Anne Williams (she/her)According to <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/AdvaitaVedanta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AdvaitaVedanta</a> the important distinction is not between the conscious and unconscious mind.In <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Vedanta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Vedanta</a>, Pure Witness <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Consciousness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Consciousness</a>, the ultimate substrate of reality, illumines ALL parts of the mind, subterranean or otherwise. Vedanta would say Consciousness is not even absent in coma or deep sleep.Indeed, the relevant distinction is Witness Consciousness set apart from Nature itself, where "Nature" includes both small 'c' conscious and unconscious cognitive/mental processes

Rachel Anne Williams (she/her)Asked <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/ChatGPT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ChatGPT</a> to write a short poem on the essence of <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Vedanta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Vedanta</a>. I like it 🙂 "In Vedanta's realm of lofty thought we find, The Self, the universe, and the Divine combined.With knowledge true, the soul may come to see, That all is one, and one is all, in harmony."

Rachel Anne Williams (she/her)"We live in succession, in division, in parts, in particles. Meantime within man is the soul of the whole; the wise silence; the universal beauty, to which every part and particle is equally related; the eternal ONE."~ Ralph Waldo EmersonIt is ironic to me that the most iconic representative of <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/American" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#American</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Philosophy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Philosophy</a>, usually associated with industrious <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/pragmatism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pragmatism</a>, was deeply inspired by <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Vedanta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Vedanta</a>.<a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Emerson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Emerson</a>, the Sage of Concord, far from merely pragmatic, was a mystic of the highest order.

Rachel Anne Williams (she/her)<a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Spirituality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Spirituality</a> and <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Religion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Religion</a> is often dismissed by pragmatic, ethically minded, down-to-Earth realists as being irrelevant to the "material conditions" of history, and thus either delusive, a tool of oppression, or incapable of meeting the pressing needs of the downtroddenBut, following Swami Vivekananda and <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Vedanta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Vedanta</a>, I would argue that knowledge of the spiritual unity of all living beings in Universal Consciousness provides a deeply pragmatic motivation for overcoming the nihilism of modernity

Rachel Anne Williams (she/her)I daresay that most Western philosophers and cognitive scientists studying <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Consciousness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Consciousness</a> do not know the full extent of the historical influences on their disciplineMany folks in modern Western consciousness studies trace their history back to William James but do not know that James was deeply influenced by Swami <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Vivekananda" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Vivekananda</a> who was influenced by <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Vedanta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Vedanta</a> and his own guru, the great Bengali mystical saint Sri <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Ramakrishna" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ramakrishna</a> Thus modern consciousness studies has a deeply <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Hindu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hindu</a> origin story

Rachel Anne Williams (she/her)IMO, I feel scholars of <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Vedanta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Vedanta</a> who lack a fundamental spiritual grounding in the reality of their own phenomenology of <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Consciousness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Consciousness</a> hastily critique traditional <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/AdvaitaVedanta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AdvaitaVedanta</a> for saying the empirical world is "unreal."This is too quick, for it misses the crucial phenomenology of what it means to appear *in* consciousness. A stick in water appears bent. Ultimately, it is not bent. But its bent appearance is still "real" *qua* appearance *to me.*Exactly the same for Maya in Brahman!

Rachel Anne Williams (she/her)“[M]ay I be born again and again, and suffer thousands of miseries so that I may worship the only God that exists, the only God I believe in, the sum total of all souls—and above all, my God the wicked, my God the miserable, my God the poor of all races, of all species, is the special object of my worship”~ Swami Vivekananda <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Christianity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Christianity</a> could learn a thing or two from <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Vedanta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Vedanta</a> in what actual <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Christian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Christian</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Love" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Love</a> entails<a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Quotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Quotes</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Spirituality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Spirituality</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Hinduism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hinduism</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Theology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Theology</a>

Rachel Anne Williams (she/her)Brahman is not another kind of entity, not another kind of object. But what is it? How can we be sure it is not just pure nonsense masquerading as something deep and spiritual?Brahman is far more than nonsense. It is in fact the most real thing we can possibly experience for it is existence itself. Existence itself is that which makes it possible for all the entities of the world to exist.<a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Vedanta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Vedanta</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Spirituality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Spirituality</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Philosophy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Philosophy</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Ontology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ontology</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Hinduism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hinduism</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Advaita" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Advaita</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Nonduality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nonduality</a><a href="https://orderoftarot.com/what-is-brahman-in-advaita-vedanta/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://orderoftarot.com/what-is-brahman-in-advaita-vedanta/</a>

Rachel Anne Williams (she/her)“When I think of [Sri Ramakrishna], I feel like a fool, because I wanted to read books and he never did… . He was his own book.” ~ Swami Vivekananda“[Sri Ramakrishna] taught them the technique of reading one’s life like a book rather than depending solely on the scriptures, or swallowing others’ ideas.” ~ Swami ChetenanandaHow foolish we “intellectuals” are for thinking the answer to our spiritual problems lies in books!<a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Vedanta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Vedanta</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Spirituality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Spirituality</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Hinduism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hinduism</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Ramakrishna" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ramakrishna</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Vivekananda" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Vivekananda</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Quotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Quotes</a>

Rachel Anne Williams (she/her)But if <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/consciousness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#consciousness</a> does not have a function, what is it?The perspective of <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Vedanta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Vedanta</a> is that Consciousness is that in which and through which objects of knowledge become illumined with the Light of AwarenessOn this view, the entirety of mechanism and function lie on the "object" side, and Consciousness is that ontological ground in which those objects appear *to* consciousness *qua* appearancesThus, consciousness is not a function, or product of a function, but the ground of all function

Rachel Anne Williams (she/her)People who say <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Christianity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Christianity</a> has no equivalent concept like “Brahman” haven’t read the <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Gnostic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Gnostic</a> text “The Secret Book of John” and its concept of “The One”:“The One is the Invisible Spirit. We should not think of it as a god or like a god. For it is greater than a god…The One is the immeasurable light, pure, holy, immaculate. It is unutterable, and is perfect in incorruptibility…The One is not among the things that exist, but it is much greater.”The language is strikingly similar to <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Vedanta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Vedanta</a>

John ShirleyA good while back I was assigned by Parabola Magazine to cover a conference on "science and nonduality". It was a meeting of scientists and advocates of rational spirituality. In another post today I mentioned the Nobel Laureate Sir Roger Penrose, and here I interview his collaborator, Dr. Stuart Hameroff. The article describes all kinds of characters, some definitely more credible than others...And it's reprinted here.<a href="https://john-shirley.com/blog/duality-and-non-a-visit-to-the-science-and-nonduality-conference/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://john-shirley.com/blog/duality-and-non-a-visit-to-the-science-and-nonduality-conference/</a><a href="https://mastodon.cloud/tags/spirituality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spirituality</a> <a href="https://mastodon.cloud/tags/spiritual" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spiritual</a> <a href="https://mastodon.cloud/tags/philosophy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#philosophy</a> <a href="https://mastodon.cloud/tags/vedanta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#vedanta</a>

Rachel Anne Williams (she/her)As someone who once was the strongest of agnostics, who spent 6 years as a philosophy grad student at the PhD level fiercely debating with everyone the illusory nature of consciousness defending the strictest physicalism, atheism, and nihilism I could envision, it is a strange conviction I have come to in now believing the ultimate reality of Self and cosmos is Pure Consciousness!<a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/AdvaitaVedanta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AdvaitaVedanta</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Philosophy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Philosophy</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Consciousness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Consciousness</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Spirituality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Spirituality</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Metaphysics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Metaphysics</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Theology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Theology</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Vedanta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Vedanta</a> <a href="https://orderoftarot.com/from-physicalism-to-the-pure-consciousness-of-vedanta/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://orderoftarot.com/from-physicalism-to-the-pure-consciousness-of-vedanta/</a>

Rachel Anne Williams (she/her)What comes after postmodernism? Some theorists have proposed a synthesis of modernism and postmodernism that includes both but simultaneously transcends them. This synthetic project is called metamodernism. In this essay, I argue that <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Vedanta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Vedanta</a> in the tradition of Vivekananda is the rational meta-philosophy needed to underpin the logical developments of metamodernism as a spiritual solution to the nihilism of the Western materialistic worldview.<a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Philosophy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Philosophy</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Spirituality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Spirituality</a><a href="https://orderoftarot.com/vedanta-metamodernism-and-the-future-of-western-spirituality/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://orderoftarot.com/vedanta-metamodernism-and-the-future-of-western-spirituality/</a>

Rachel Anne Williams (she/her)In saying “Brahman is like a great ocean of being in which all entities of the world are but waves,” we trick ourselves into thinking these metaphors are explanations of what Brahman isBut they are not explanations in the way “water is H2O” is an explanationAt best metaphors about Brahman are akin to poetry, meant to evoke a nonlinguistic, intuitive, or transcendent “grokking” of the Absolute that takes us beyond language into the direct reality of Pure Existence itself<a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Philosophy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Philosophy</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Vedanta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Vedanta</a>

Rachel Anne Williams (she/her)The whole world of Western Modernity is crying out for a spiritual system that is intellectually rigorous and yet also provides the philosophical foundation for true <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/spirituality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spirituality</a> that is beyond the childish duality of traditional <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/religion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#religion</a>, capable of absorbing and providing an intellectual basis for the cultural symbols that are necessary for the human mind to grasp onto in its search for liberation.In my humble opinion, <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Vedanta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Vedanta</a> is the answer we Westerners are looking for.<a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Hinduism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hinduism</a>
