The Quest of a Philosopher: Unveiling the Mind-Body Connection
As a philosopher, I have dedicated my life to the exploration of complex issues surrounding the relationship between the human mind and body. For decades, I have wondered about the nature of consciousness and whether it is individual or part of a larger planetary mind. I continue to push forward in the hopes of uncovering some truths about these enigmatic concepts.
Emergence of the Mind: A Tentative Hypothesis
My current suspicions about the nature of the mind are quite tentative. I suspect that I might not possess a unique mind of my own, but rather be an expression of Earth's single global mind. This planetary mind could have emerged from the ecosystem of the planet as a new level of complexity and centralization, similar to how life arose from underlying chemistry. The key to understanding this lies in the concept of upward and downward causation, where the mind influences the physical world and vice versa.
Why Are Some Outstanding Philosophers Ignored?
Another fascinating but frustrating aspect of my work is the observation that individuals with exceptional skills in both writing and living often receive minimal recognition for their significant contributions to society. This neglect is particularly evident in cases where certain philosophers, despite their profound impact, are consistently overlooked.
Exploring the Work of H.P. Blavatsky
Take, for example, Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, a renowned writer and philosopher who co-founded the Theosophical Society. Her extensive body of work, including her magnum opus The Secret Doctrine, introduces a fascinating theory of evolution that predates modern scientific understanding. Unfortunately, her theories have not received the widespread attention they deserve.
Discovering a Hidden Theory
Blavatsky prophesied that a person born between 1975 and 2000 would bring renewed light to her teachings. In 1995, I had an epiphany that allowed me to explain the seven-race theory of evolution. Despite this revelation, I have continued to struggle to alert others to this groundbreaking theory. This underscores the challenge of disseminating truly innovative ideas.
Key Concepts for Unraveling Blavatsky's TheoryTo fully comprehend Blavatsky’s theory, we need to introduce several key concepts:
Girasas: A higher evolving kingdom that coexists within humans. Involution: The process by which a group of beings or angels inhabits natural forms to support the evolution of other kingdoms. Coexistence of Kingdoms: Over the course of three races, one kingdom becomes more physical, and the other less physical. After the fifth race, we return to a single kingdom, and after ascension, the descent into matter is complete. Revisiting Darwin's "Descent of Man"Blavatsky's theory aligns with Darwin's concept of "Descent of Man," which suggests that evolution is a continual process where forms become more and more physical, culminating in the transformation of dinosaurs into human realms.
Conclusion
The quest for truth in the realm of philosophy is an ongoing journey. The mind-body connection remains one of the most perplexing areas of inquiry. The work of often-ignored philosophers like Blavatsky offers valuable insights that deserve wider recognition and exploration. As a philosopher, it is my hope that future scholars and thinkers will help bring these ideas to the forefront of public discourse.
