Philosophy
Tue 11 May - Tue 13 July,
7 - 9.30pm
Tue 14 Sept - Tue 16 Nov, 7 - 9.30pm
A 10-week
evening course exploring the underlying ideas of eastern and
western philosophy and how these can guide practical
action.
This is
a practical course in how to live philosophy rather than an
evaluation of the historical ideas of western and eastern
philosophers. While ideas of great thinkers and philosophers such
as Plato, Socrates, Kant, Shankara, Buddha, Lao Tsu, Gurdjieff and
others are covered, their ideas are discussed and related to the
common challenges facing us in everyday life.
Venue:Learning
& Development Centre, 363 Oxford Street, Mt Hawthorn
Topics
covered are:
1.
What is Philosophy?
2. Awareness and the present moment
3. Experiences of Self
4. Self, ego and attachments
5. The experience of beauty
6. States of consciousness
7. The nature and functions of mind
8. Non-duality and the interconnectedness of all
things
9. Working in the moment and the working surface
10. Levels of self-identity
You will
become more aware of the illusionary ‘self’ and the natural ‘Self’
and how these relate to problems and worthwhile actions in your
life. You will learn how to observe your thoughts, judgements and
assumptions about your self and other people, how to experience
mental clarity and the purpose of your actions. The course leads to
improved skills in: being in the present moment, relating to
others, dealing with stressful or difficult situations, and clarity
of thought and action in your work and home life.
The
course presenters have been involved with the study, teaching and
practical application of philosophy for many years. They have an
interactive and easy to understand approach so that anyone will be
able to understand the ideas and concepts taught.
This
course is brought to you by The Integral
Institute Australasia and supported by The Bodhi
Tree.
