For, you will never know
If it’s true…
Until—
(And, unless)
It finally beats you.

Dark and Light
That “darkness serves the greater good”–
A Hindu thought:
Positive holism!
Is it right…
Is it just?
There is no better way
Than such a consequentialism;
Is there?!
Whence, thot?!
Emotion is expressed
Behaviorally–
Motivated!
Better a virtual
Someone
Than an actual
No-body.

What’s a mind?
The Gestalt of a being’s unconscious-to-conscious emotions, thoughts, and motivations*.
*Behaviors (actions), too?…
Lieon the Sand
The bluster on Terranea Cove continues!
The weather–yes; one ought to discuss…
Near the perch I approached,
But a man earlier than I stood atop
It, all ready.
My time will come:
Freedom at midnight!
Thus tope Surajhustra.
Going Through Themoceans
It’s a blustery scene out here, on the lukewarm sands of Terranea beach! A boy and his photographer stand to my left; an Asian lad to their left, on the rocks. (The beach is made up of sand and rocks, leading toward the Pacific Ocean.) Farther left still is a man taking photographs of his own: he climbs down the rock-perch he was just atop, a moment ago.
I sit in a crevice on the sand, soaking everything around as I soft-type onto my Kindle Fire 8. My body craves movement…so, off I go.
For then!
Humanism by Suraj (Pt. II)
What does “human existence” consist of? This is the main question an existential humanism must answer.
“Human” is both a biological and historical concept, referring most commonly to the Homo sapiens species. Let us assert that the sub-notion of person comes closer to what is signifiable in truly psychological terms.
Psychologically, persons are thinking, feeling, behaving beings. They are motivated to carry out certain projects; they experience; they perceive and sense.
So much for the latter half of existential humanism. It was said in a previous blog post that existential refers simply to what exists in reality.
Existential humanism, then, denotes what people think, feel, act, are motivated by, experience, perceive, and sense in reality.
It is about both their being and doing…
Humanism by Suraj (Pt. I)
What could it be that makes existentialism (and existentiality) humanistic?
More basically: What is existential-humanism?
In one sense, humanism is our belief system or ideology pertaining to humans. Existentialism, it has already been said, is the same but for existence.
Existential-humanism concerns–very simply–what we believe about human existence.
In the next post, we will offer a more precise answer for what this domain consists of.
Existentialism by Suraj (Pt. III)
Last post, we defined existentialism as the epistemology of all that exists. By way of this, existentiality–“existential reality”–was also introduced.
What is existential reality?
This new term may strike the reader as being redundant. All that exists, it may be reasoned, is all that comprises reality. But this is only to conflate metaphysics (the study of reality) with ontology (which is concerned with being).
Existentiality should be thought of as a hybrid between these two philosophical pillars. It might be naive to think that all we know to exist exhausts reality; and, conversely, what is real need not be all that was or will be.
What could it be that makes existentialism and existentiality humanistic? Our focus will turn to this question, next.
