Existential Liberation via Phenomenological Exploration

Phenomenology [fĭ-nŏm″ə-nŏl′ə-jē] (noun.) - The study of consciousness from the first-person perspective. A branch of philosophy which attempts a kind of science of subjectivity.

Phenomenology is one of the most foundational disciplines and is essential to all other pursuits of knowledge, including: epistemology, ontology metaphysics and metaethics. All spiritual traditions contain phenomenological assertions, and everyone is engaged in phenomenology whether they realise it or not  - but being a good phenomenologist requires considerable practice.

If I were to consider myself gifted at anything, it would be phenomenology. Working on the 'pure' phenomenological level is often (though not always) how I approach teaching. And I would regard this method as not only my particular forté, but as also one of the cleanest means of spiritual awakening.

Self-portrait by Ernst Mach

“ As a matter of epistemic first principles, reality is perception...​​​ And meditation is specifically a training for understanding the mechanics of the first-person experience more intimately.  "

NO GURU HERE – I am deliberately avoiding a hierarchical guru model. There are many obvious pitfalls, falsehoods and deliberate disempowerment traps which come from pedestaling one figure above others. No one human being is beyond fallibility or criticism. In different circumstances, sometimes we are the student and sometimes the teacher. And both the student and the teacher should be open to hearing feedback from each other. I wish that everyone realise their own inner wisdom and what great value they have to offer others.
