SUBLIME LIVING BRIEF DESCRIPTION

• SUBLIME LIVING Is a mentoring program in Creative, Conscious and Environmental Living

• SUBLIME LIVING is a Yogic meeting ground of Science, Art, Philosophy, Psychotherapy and Play

• Its Originality and Depth is in its eclectic inter-disciplinarity

• It is based on 55 years of “imperfect” personal research, academic investigation, creative exploration and conscious action

It is probably quite true, generally,

that in the history of human thinking,

the most fruitful developments

frequently take place at those points

where two different lines of thought meet.

These lines might have there roots

in quite different parts of human culture,

in different times, or different cultural environments,

or different religious traditions. 

Hence, if they actually meet, that is,

if they are, at least, so much related to each other,

that a real interaction can take place,

then one may hope that

new and interesting developments may follow

-  Physicist Werner Heisenberg

SUBLIME LIVING is not some new truth.

It is simply my way of living and sharing truthfully in a world seemingly without truth.

Living authentically as much as may be possible in an imperfect, transient and impermanent world.

It is a Deep Ecology: conceiving a world in inter-connection.

A sense of Being in symbiotic, non-human-centered relationship.

It is a Way where I cultivate sublime moments in daily life situations; as well as my personal creativity through dance and art.

A Way where life can truly feel a dance and a play

Where each situation can potentially be a moment of wonder and awe.

In this I find a profound sense of  harmony, balance, flow and inner peace

I share my way of SUBLIME LIVING as a personalised Mentoring Program

I share this with any individual who has a genuine rigorous commitment to evolving their own Way of SUBLIME LIVING; their own Deep Ecology.

I share this with any person who aspires for a long-term adventure; a long term “co-creation”; a journey into unknown territory: una terra incognito.

SUBLIME LIVING is a program in living life most blissfully, creatively, and lovingly. It can be a program that you come back to again and again in an endless “way”.

SUBLIME LIVING is a personal creative pathway toward the Sublime: toward the “The Delicious Delight of Living”.

We live in a world which

man has changed so completely

that in every sphere –

whether we deal with the tools of daily life,

whether we eat food which has been prepared by machines, or

whether we travel in a countryside radically changed by man

we are always meeting man-made creations,

so that in a sense we meet only ourselves

- Physicist Werner Heisenberg

PHILOSOPHY

Including:-

• Philosophy of Yoga of the Bhagavad Gita rooted in living one’s Dharma, ones’ most authentic vocation in life - what we really want to do and how we wish to live based on our personal core values and what we most deeply need.

• The Yoga Sutra’s comprehensive way of living that has Meditation as its pinnacle

• Secular Buddhism including the concepts and practices of Sati (present moment awareness), Metta (Befriending) and Pratitityasampudpada (co-relational origination).

• Existential Philosophy

• the eclectic path of Tantra in India around 1600 years ago where Science, Art and Philosophy were integrated into a pathway of understanding ourselves and the Universe as “oneness”. . This is a theme of my post-doctoral level research and doctoral thesis: Toward a Deep Ecology of Art Technology and Being, with particular reference to the Water Temple of Tadao Ando and the rock cut edifices of Ellora and Ajanta.

The Zen ceramic art practice of Kintsugi

is of a life to be lived, honoured and treasured,

however it is.

Kintsugi corresponds to a modern concept of

Mental Health Recovery:

Recovery is a deeply personal, unique process of

changing one's attitudes, values, feelings, goals,

skills and/or roles.

It is a way of living a satisfying, hopeful, and contributing life

even with limitations caused by the illness.

Recovery involves the development of

new meaning and purpose in one's life

as one grows

- Psychiatrist William Anthony

BUSINESS PHILOSOPHY
