The idea of cosmic nature of a human
// Philosophy and Culture.
2009. ¹ 3.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=56284
Abstract:
the article considers the human as an incomplete being striving at his full completion as a part of cosmos. Machinery civilization apparently failed to satisfy spiritual searching of humankind. Christianity concentrating on Christ’s image does not consider a human being as a cosmic creature, according to the author of the article. In this respect, Indian religious teachings and trans-personalism seem to be the most appropriate in regard to searching for the other worlds.

philosophy, human, personality, trans-personalism, machine, cosmos, vocation, trueness, life force, freedom.

Is the thought spacial and material?
// Philosophy and Culture.
2009. ¹ 3.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=56286
Abstract:
the article contains philosophical and experimental evidence that the thought is spacial and material. The thought is viewed as an unknown and unexplored penetrative field form of matter. The author talks about a very important attribute of the matter on the whole, the memory. Based on this attribute, he has concluded that the Universe was born due to that attribute and eternal changes and movement of the matter. The author has given a broader definition of the “matter” and stressed out that, having reached a certain stage of evolution, it gave birth to the conscience.
The proved spacial and material nature of the thought has allowed to build the hypothesis which explains the old illusion about “soul reincarnation” from the point of view of the materialistic philosophy. The author has also given a very unusual explanation of the human unconsciousness.
Keywords:
philosophy, field form of the matter, attribute, memory, hypnotic sleep, the unconscious, soul reincarnation.
