Philosophy and Action

In the book “The Synthesis of Yoga” in Chapter XII titled The Realization of Sachchidananda by Sri Aurobindo it states

“It is at least a fundamental principle principle of the ancient wisdom, the wisdom of the East on which we are founding ourselves, that philosophy ought not to be merely a lofty intellectual pastime or a play of dialectical subtlety or even a pursuit of metaphysical truth for its own sake, but a discovery by all right means of the basic truths of all-existence which ought then t

I'm a Writer!

Well I've sold my first book and I've had my first review.  I'm now well on my way to success (or not).  I'm looking forward to learning from the reader's of my book.  I need to keep an open mind to improve myself.  As Aristotle said once something to the effect that  learning is not pleasant.  To improve myself I must gird myself and be resilient.

Introduction: "Dualism and Nondualism"

We exist.  This we know for sure but the question that comes up often is why?  A likely response would be "does there need to be a reason?"  Perhaps we need to look at some sort of divine intelligence to explain our existence, for if we are here we must have a purpose.  For what would our lives mean if we didn't have a purpose?

New Book with provisional title "New Book"

Since I continue to post my work online free of charge (although copyrighted) I will be posting my new book here too,  although it will probably involve revision before it goes on Google Book Search like my other books.  I will list it in it's own category on here in reverse order (descending instead of ascending as you read down)  so you can read it in order at any time on this site.  It should be posted here at least till I put it on Google Book Search.
