Inner Worlds, Outer Worlds - Final Chapter

Why did I leave episode 4 aside from other three? The information given at this last episode concerns one of the greatest struggles humanity is facing. We have supersized our connections, our communication and our thinking. The sixth sense we use is nicely explained whereas we are not our thoughts. This episode delivers remarkable information.

“Eric Schmidt - CEO of Google mentioned on August 4th, 2010, in California: every two days now we create as much information as we did from the dawn of civilization up until 2003” - every two days = 5 exabytes of data. 

Now what are the real impacts on human mind, society and community living in a technological addicted world? Why do we seek more and more happiness outside than inside ourselves? Beyond Thinking rises many questions to which we skip the answers. What are we looking for in the third millenium? 

“We live in a world of hungry ghosts endlessly craving and never satisfied” (...) “Thinking has created the whole big mess we’re in right now”.

Humanity struggles more and more for the love and happiness we once knew, but we have lost control over our egoic minds.

PART 4 - BEYOND THINKING

In-Shadow

“The persona is a complicated system of relations between individual consciousness and society, fittingly enough a kind of mask, designed on the one hand to make a definite impression upon others, and on the other, to conceal the true nature of the individual.” C.G. Jung

Every and each one of us understands this film in his own way. Our eyes, culture and consciousness translates its content to linked thoughts and emotions of an human being. The XXI century is on its way to a massive transformation on the Planet Earth.  

Here's a powerful portrait delivered by Lubomir Arsov. A philosophicart audiovisual piece where the society fragmentation is so well envisioned.

Awakening the Divine Within

"An entheogen, from Greek, literally meaning "generating the divine within", is any psychoactive substance that induces a spiritual experience and is aimed at spiritual development". 

Here’s a solid insight about entheogen. Leaders and authors of psychedelic culture movement were interviewed so a clear deconstructed presentation on how entheogen represents very important tools being used for millennia in order to develop a deep understanding about human consciousness and behavior. Cultural facts and scientific research is being used to a fully graduated consciousness in the XXI century. The following documentary (2007) is well aware of human evolution and how cultural phenomena have been changing as an impact of technology dominance.

Stoicism

One of most remarkable followers of Stoicism was Marcus Aurelius, Roman Emperor from 161 to 180 AD. A man who lived through time and history... 

I would say Stoicism is the philosophy of life I have been following although I have strong struggles with my mind to overcome my temperament. The four Cardinal Virtues are the ones I try to follow; three are the same as Plato’s Cardinal Virtues. Prudence is the one missing from Plato, and one I have tattooed in my right ribs together with the other three. 

Here’s a good and brief presentation of Stoicism.
