Ethics Of Hindu Philosophy By Sanderson Beck
An excerpt from the book ancient wisdom and folly by Sanderson Beck.
http://www.san.beck.org/EC11-Hindu.html

Extractions: For information on ordering click here. In India there are six orthodox schools of philosophy which recognize the authority of the Vedas as divine revelation, and they generally function as pairs - Nyaya and Vaishesika Mimamsa and Vedanta , and Samkhya and Yoga. Those who did not recognize this authority were the Jains, Buddhists, and materialists. Even in India, where spiritual ideas dominate the culture, there were some who were skeptical of those ideals and held to a materialist view of the world; they were called Carvaka , and their doctrine that this world is all that exists is called Lokayata The materialists did not believe in an afterlife and found sense perception to be the only source of knowledge, denying the validity of inference or general concepts. They focused on the senses and the four traditional elements of earth, water, fire, and air. Consciousness for the Carvaka is only a modification of these elements in the body. The soul is also identified with the body, and pleasure and pain are the central experiences of life, nature being indifferent to good and evil with virtue and vice being merely social conventions. This worldly philosophy naturally ignored the goal of liberation (moksha) or simply believed that death as the end of life and consciousness was a liberation. However, they also tended to neglect the value of virtue or justice

Extractions: For further contact e-mail Introduction Mind is the expression of the brain and the body separately or in a combined state.All the extraordinary faculties of the human beings are projected through the mind.It is the mind which has been responsible for all the great developments in the civilisations as we see it today. Mind is a formless state.It cannot be brought on record or measured by any of the modern instruments.Fundamentally mind is concerned with the thinking and it's applications.The inputs of the mind are partly dependent on the information / learning from the society itself,but a reasonable part comes from practically the blue as a godgift to certain chosen persons eg.the great masterpiece works of art,literature and scientific inventions. The mind is the motivation of a human being,his steam,his drive,his ambition and his ultimate destiny often.Wonderful faculty that the mind is, has been perplexing since ages as all the scientific advances have failed to analyse the parameters governing the mind.

Menippus [Internet Encyclopedia Of Philosophy]
Concise entry on this ancient writer and his legacy.
http://www.utm.edu/research/iep/m/menippus.htm

Extractions: Menippus, an adherent of the Cynic School of philosophy, was born at Sinope in Asia Minor, but his family was originally from Gadara, in Palestine. According to Diogenes Laertius, he was at first a slave, but afterward obtained his freedom by purchase, and eventually succeeded, by dint of money, in obtaining citizenship at Thebes. Here he pursued the employment of a money lender, and obtained from this the title "one who lends money at daily interest". Having been defrauded, and having lost, in consequence, all his property, he hung himself in despair. Menippus was the author of several works, now completely lost; they satirized the follies of human kind, especially of philosophers, in a sarcastic tone Among other productions, he wrote a piece entitled "The Sale of Diogenes," and another called "Necromancy". They were a medley of prose and verse, and became models for the satirical works of Varro (hence called Saturae Menippeae . It is suggested that the Necromancy inspired an imitator of Lucian to compose the "Menippus, or Oracle of the Dead," which is found among the works of the native of Samosata.

Japanese Rice Culture
Essay on ancient rituals and peasant society practices that became part of Japanese traditional culture and still influence present day rural society.
http://home.worldcom.ch/~negenter/473bTx_E01.html

Extractions: Rice culture? Do we mean culture, or merely cultivation? Rice, once a luxury for the few, is today Japan's staple food, the daily source of energy for over a hundred million people. The rice economy has become important. But because rice in Japan was long the mark of fine living, it has developed an aesthetic aura. Rice as an expression of refined eating habits? The definition would be too narrow. Those who venerate the arts of the steaming dish often forget that rice is also a plant. It has to be tended and cared for, which to the farmer means toil and travail. Yet here again there is an element of culture, embodied this time in coarse cloths, simple tools, unadorned vessels, such as are exhibited in the Museum of Japanese Folk Art (Nihon Mingeikan) in Tokyo. Many people find these things beautiful because they stand for the plain, genuine values of a peasant culture. The rice plant also produces green foliage which, when dry, becomes straw, Japanese wara.
ORIENTALIA - Indian Philosophy And Anthropic Cosmological Principle
Traditional Indian anthropology is analyzed at the background of ancient physics traditions of Vaisesika, Jaina, and Buddhism, modern quantum mechanics, and manyuniverses idea.
http://www.orientalia.org/article589.html

Extractions: The main arguments of Vaisesika in favor of the all-pervasiveness of Atman amount to a number of cosmological and physical premises. If Atman lacked all-pervasion, the cosmo-evolutionary process would not have been started at all, for there would be no 'simultaneous conjunction with atoms from other regions of space'. The simultaneous conjunction of atoms is necessary for putting the great vehicle of the Universe into motion.

THE ROOTS OF THE NEW AGE MOVEMENT - New Age In Ancient History- Gnosticism - Alc
New Age philosophy is based on ancient traditions, alchemy, gnosticism, Rosicrucianism, Freemasonry. Its roots are explored in Eastern and Western traditions.
http://www.xs4all.nl/~wichm/newage3.html

Extractions: The New Age movement is hardly novel! Its philosophy is rooted in ancient traditions, often based on mystical experiences, each within a different context. Anthropologically, there have always been (wo)men within "primitive" societies who were looked upon as possessing special knowledge and power. Medicine men, or shamans, had undergone a spontaneous catharsis, or were initiated and felt called upon to maintain contact with the spirit world for the clan. When communities became more complex and organized there was little place for these loners. Society began to specialize, people realized and felt drawn to form groups, guilds, or societies, to ensure continuance and growing perfection. Contact with the spirit world was given into the hands of organized religion, which also provided an established answer to questions about the unknown and the Highest Power. People who felt endowed with special powers could hardly adapt themselves to the corset of established faith. They went underground. Yet they endeavoured to contact kindred spirits and pupils willing to follow in their footsteps to pass on the work. Esoteric tradition became handed down in spiritual groups, communes, or fraternities. Their mutual devotion resulted in a high degree of perfection comparable to the guilds of craftsmen. In their mystical experiences they beheld a spiritual reality that could hardly be reconciled with the dogmatic representation given by the churches. When passing on their experiences, they had to exercise extreme caution, lest being accused of heresy. Yet knowledgeable minds would understand their veiled writings, symbolic representations, or even gestures.
