Coexistentialism – Comparison

– Human = Body

– Human = conscious unit + physiochemical body. Both are ‘substances’, have mass.

– Human is not only the body. Discussion of ‘soul’ not clear.

– ‘Mind-Body’ problem unresolved

– ‘Mind’ is one of the faculties in the conscious-unit. The ‘conscious-unit’ communicates with the body via the brain.

– Mind-Body relation unclear. Mind is not the body, nature of mind unclear

• ‘Consciousness’ arises from the brain
• Brain (or states thereof) is the seer, doer and enjoyer. ‘I’ exists in the brain

• Conscious unit is a constitutionally-complete atom with 10 activities. It has ‘consciousness’ being in space. Space is ‘consciousnesses manifested via the conscious unit.
• Conscious unit (Self) is the seer, doer & enjoyer. ‘I’ is the conscious unit.

• Relationship between ‘conscious unit’ and ‘consciousness’ unclear. Talk of ‘universal consciousness’
• Seer, doer and enjoyer either a unit, or space, or almighty unclear. Nature and identity of ‘I’ unclear, ‘I’ denied.

• Existence is unstable, indefinite, its purpose unclear
• Fundamental source of energy in the universe unclear
• Matter is indestructible neither created nor destroyed. Undergoes change
• Existence is physiochemical matter. Attributes of ‘space’ unclear. Search for ‘God particle’. Atom exists, but not recognized as unit of orderliness

• Existence is stable, is coexistence, in harmony. There is definiteness & self-ingrained purpose in existence
• Space itself is energy in equilibrium, but not an ‘activity’
• Matter is indestructible, neither created nor destroyed. Undergoes change. Matter is conscious and physiochemical in nature. Both are ‘units’ & have mass. There is no ‘centralization’ in existence.
• Existence = conscious and physiochemical nature saturated in all-pervasive-entity (space, omnipotence)
• Atom is the fundamental unit of orderliness

• Existence is an outcome of divine powers, will
• Notion of ‘Universal Energy’
• Notion of creator, destroyer, sustainer, controller
• Building blocks of existence unclear, mystical Various theories, atomists, etc.

• Happiness = sensory pleasure = consumption, carnality. Profit to fulfill these.
• ‘Purpose of living’ outside the domain of study. Randomization.

• ‘Resolution’ from wisdom = harmony in the Self = happiness.
• Purpose of living is ‘Resolution’, awakening of all activities in conscious unit ‘jeevan’ & fulfill ‘universal human-goal’ on this planet

• Happiness is in heaven, or good deeds here, etc
• Purpose of living: liberation or moksha (release from rebirth)

Instability-indefiniteness-rooted physiochemical matter-centric thought

Existence-rooted human centric contemplation

– Mysticism-rooted god centric thought

Limited to Analytical-logical, sense-observed phenomena.

• Knowledge of realistic-view of existence,
• Knowledge of self, (jeevan)
• Knowledge of humane conduct
• Wisdom, Science

– Scriptural learning or direct insight (cannot be told in words, not expressed). Knowledge of ‘oneness’ or ‘pure-consciousness’

– Limited to physical-chemical nature (matter)

– Material & conscious nature (Self) and space

– Varies: Self, to scriptural

• Mathematical, sensory-cognition, study of agitated states
• Stress on self-verification, Objectivity

• Holistic-study of realities in existence using all faculties of cognition. Study of stable states
• Stress on self-verification. ‘Assume only after you know’. ‘Objectivity’ is known by the ‘Subject’ (conscious unit)

– Devotion, Meditative practices Assumption prevalent, verification rarely proposed

Appearance & Properties (Only sensory-observable and measurable aspects: form-full dimensions of reality)

Appearance, Properties, Innate-nature, Inseparability & Truth (sensory-observable as well as formless dimensions of reality)

– Theories of Spirit, etc (only form-less dimensions)

Evidence of Instruments (basis is mathematical-logical-inferential-observed)

Evidence of realization, behavior & experiment: (basis is experiential, logical inferential & observed)

Unclear, mystical (basis is revelation, or experiential)

– Laws of behavior in physiochemical matter, study of their properties by relative cause & effect

• All Laws are natural to existence. ‘Law, Restraint, & Balance’ in rest of nature. In Human: ‘Intellectual Law’ (within human), ‘Social Law-Justice’ (human-human relation), Natural-Law (human-nature relation).
• Laws of relative cause & effect are for technology
• in line with ‘natural laws’

Human Laws as revealed in the scriptures. Physiochemical laws not discussed.

Materialism (Science)

Madhyasth-Darshan Coexistentialism

Spiritualism, Pantheism, Super-Naturalism

Survival of the fittest, Happiness via Consumption

• 1) Intellectual resolution in every individual via knowledge; (harmony in individual)
• 2) Material Prosperity in every family, (harmony in family)
• 3) Fearlessness in Society, (harmony in society)
• 4) Coexistence with nature (harmony in nature)

Union with God, Heaven. Fulfillment of design will, as revealed in Scriptures. Or, release from cycle of rebirth

Comforts-accumulation

Intellectual Resolution, Material Prosperity

Devotion-renunciation

Mass Consumption, Ecological problem, Earth in danger

Right-utilization, fulfillment of human-relationships, balance in nature

Heaven or individual-bliss

Survival, Competition

Consciousness-development, human values, Coexistence

Scriptural conformance

– Excess-consumption, excess-profit, excess-carnality. Individualism

Confidence in Self, Respect for excellence, sociable in behavior, self-sufficiency in occupation

Renunciation or Communalism (communal-mentality)

Will not produce, Will consume

Will produce, Will consume

Will not produce, Will not consume, or reduction of needs

Progress in food-shelter-decoration & remote-communication, remote-viewing & remote-transport

Proposed: Undivided Human Society & Universal Orderliness

• Human Language
• Messages, sermons & well-wishes for goodness

• Pollution & Resource Depletion, ecological crisis
• Individualism.
• Rejection of alternative modes of knowledge

To be studied, lived & found out

• Rejection of Logic
• communal-mentality: divisions in humankind based on differing assumptions

Study of physical-chemical reality: via ‘relative cause & effect’ : accepted logical and mathematical hypothesis

• Study & realization of Actuality, Reality & Truth : as realistic-view (darsana)
• ‘absolute truth & ultimate cause

Divine Decree, Scriptural authority

• Conflict-centric Materialism
• Struggle-centric Humanism

• Resolution-centric Materialism
• Realization/Experience Centric Spiritualism
• Behavior-centric Humanism

– Mysticism-centric Spiritualism

• Consumptive Sociology
• Exploitative Economics
• Sex-oriented Psychology

• Behavioral Sociology
• Cyclical Economics
• Human-consciousness oriented Psychology

– Scriptural Sociology

– Constitution Differs by nation-state

– Humane Constitution: based on human code of ethics: coherence in education, human conduct, constitution & human-systems

– Divine Design, or ancient written documents
