Yes Indeed, Life is Complicated. The complexity of Life involves not only the problem of shopping for food but also the problem of shopping for the means to put to an end to one’s own existence.
We need a methodology to study philosophy and to understand philosophical statements. Logical Positivism, also known as Scientific Empiricism aims to clarify concepts in both everyday and scientific language. It describes analysis of language as the function of philosophy. This analysis of language and of concepts is important to understand questions of belief and ideology which affect what we think we ought to do individually and socially. I use this method of ‘Applied Philosophy’ to analyze the problem of suicide and its prevention.
September 10 is observed as World ‘Suicide Prevention Day’ and September is ‘Suicide Awareness Month’. To promote Suicide Awareness, I promote awareness of the Seven Dimensions of Human Being. These dimensions are 1. Man is a Created Being, and man is constituted as 2. Physical, Mortal Being, 3. Mental Being, 4. Social Being, 5. Moral Being, 6. Spiritual Being, and 7. Rational Being.

The Yoking of Man and God in the creation of Humanity
Yoga explores the principle of man’s Unity with God or Supreme Being. Indian tradition suggests that God is present in entire creation and yet God remains detached, unattached, aloof, distant, or separate from creation. Human Existence is evidence for Unity of man with Divine Principle and yet Human Existence is burdensome, worrisome, and troublesome as God chooses to remain separate from entire creation.
The Status of Man in Nature. Who or What formed the Man?
Man is added to nature by a special act of Creation. The status of Man in Nature is determined by the Law of Natural Generation, Bio-genetic Law, and the Law of Individuality. Could we view the behavior of man and animals and the phenomena of intelligence or mind and the constitution of psyche in confirmation with the doctrine of evolution? If man is a created being, he would exist as a spiritual being, and spirituality describes the connection between man and his Creator. If an immortal principle is involved in the creation of man, the nature or essence of man would describe the nature of that immortal principle.
What is consciousness? The concept of consciousness without contents is irrational and invalid
Many traditions in the East have proposed that consciousness without content is possible and could be achieved with mental training. In my analysis, the concept of consciousness without contents is irrational and invalid. Consciousness is the natural principle, the vital principle that moves and animates all Life. It has a set of defining features; it …

Spirituality Science – Verification of man’s spiritual wisdom
Man inclines to use his mental faculties of thought and introspection to formulate theories about God. Bhagat Namdev ji asks, “How could I make You (GOD) an object of thought?” However, man continues to claim intellectual power to gain Knowledge or Wisdom of God while man’s physical existence in Natural World depends upon Sense Perceptions that …

SPIRITUALITY SCIENCE – “I AM REAL”
SPIRITUALITY SCIENCE – “I AM REAL” On wholeangel.com I am presenting a view of ‘Three Primary Orders’ that is not consistent with Shankara’s Non-Dualism or ‘ADVAITA’ doctrine. In his view, Soul and God are real and Matter is unreal, or product of Grand Illusion. His view demands separation of Man; 1.Body is unreal, and 2. Soul …

Tat Asmi Prabhu – Fifth Mahavakya – Existence precedes Essence
The particular entity (“Tat”) claiming ‘Unity’ (through attribute named “ASMI” which means always present or ever-lasting) with “Prabhu” or LORD God Creator has to maintain his existence, a precondition for giving expression to his essence. I can describe my essence (What I am) if and only if it is preceded by my existence (What I …

TAT ASMI PRABHU – FIFTH MAHAVAKYA – GOD IS INFINITE BEING
TAT ASMI PRABHU – FIFTH MAHAVAKYA – GOD IS INFINITE BEING In my analysis ‘Monotheism’, belief or doctrine that there is only ‘ONE'(“1”) God is not consistent with God who is ‘Infinite’, lacking limits or bounds, extending beyond measure or comprehension. The concept of ‘Infinite’ demands existence of something greater than any ‘finite’ number. In …
