Consciousophy
Life Centered
The most important question we can ask, is What or Who we are.
Not as an academic or philosophical inquiry, but as an essential search for the realization of the next step in human evolution.
The answers to the question What does it mean to be human? determine the society in which we live now and in the future.
On an individual level, this question leads to another question: What Am I?
In fact, the two are inextricably linked. We must find the answers to these two questions in order to master the great challenges of our time.
If we do not provide intelligent answers, the future will most likely become a devastated landscape of unjust and cruel societies.
What it means to be human?
The Reintegration of Wisdom Into Modern Life
The combination of wisdom and politics and their integration in society as the essential component is Consciousophy.
Wisdom is the key to our evolution as a species. The point is, will we use it or continue with our humancentric way of living?
The decline of wisdom began with the rise of modern times. I am far from saying that the old times were better, but wisdom had a place in this societies.
The term Homo sapiens was introduced by Carl Linnaeus in 1758. Ironically, from this moment on, wisdom is in decline. Sapiens is Latin and means "wise" or "discerning". When our behavior does not have such a devastating impact on the planet, it will be a good joke.
Modernity is characterised because it lacks wisdom. The symbol of its absence is that we lock the elderly away in nursing homes instead of benefiting from their wisdom. What is "old" has no place in a society that is addicted to the "new".
The absence of wisdom in every area of modern life has created a toxic society. Before, our societies were also insane, but wisdom had given us a place where we belonged. We were still part of a greater whole. However, today we are merely separate parts of an overwhelming, gigantic machine.
The reintegration of wisdom in society, though in a completely new form, seems to be the only way to save ourselves from ourselves. Consciousophy is exactly that—the reintegration of wisdom into modern life.
