This one is a short thought, but it’s so cool seeing my entries pop up on the site that Im going to do one more before I sleep. So, excitement precedes profundity here.

Anyhow, Homunculus speaks much on projection and how we’re able to learn much about ourselves through how we view the world. Afterall, everything you see is your reality. While reading on Hinduism in The World’s Religions, it seems Hinduism has interesting play with this idea. On one hand, a path to finding Atman-Brahman is by detaching and viewing oneself from the third person, it is an ego reduction exercise, a way to get rid of the idea of the finite individual. However, on the other hand, it also calls for empathizing; seeing others’ burden as our own as well as their victories. The infinite self is all that is around us, but how can we unbiasedly do this ? What sort of reality exists beyond the constructs of our mind? Hinduism says this is the core to getting to the infinite self, but my western ass can’t seem to get my head out of my finite conceited brain. I had more planned to this post that has since escaped me… Ill be sleeping now.
