This blog is a way to share ideas that hopefully can facilitate a more holistic worldview that can transcend the limiting paradigms that hold back human beings from realizing their true nature. 

This writer starts with some fundamental premises: 

The universe is good and human beings are able to experience this goodness.

The modern world is guided by maps (paradigms) that are very limited which leads to suffering.

Here is one book that I recommend that has helped with my questioning. 

A book by Lew Paz, Pushing Ultimates – Fundamentals of Authentic Self-Knowledge comes highly recommended.   What can one learn from this book?  The search for genuine self-knowledge and authentic self-awareness is a difficult path that requires courage and perseverance.  One must learn to question just about everything.  The above book offers many insights about how difficult it is to be able to think for ourselves and the many ways in which we delude ourselves.  He mentions two types of bias he uses throughout the book: “confirmation bias is the mind’s tendency to confirm only data that enhances one’s opinions, and oversight bias is the conscious and subconscious avoidance of information adverse to those opinions.”  (P.33)

The author wants us to increase our "radius of comprehension"  by learning about many disciplines.  He writes at the beginning that "authentic knowledge begins when we probe beyond appearances, beyond ossified traditional belief systems and sterile scientism."   More to come.
