Can anyone claim, our world is open, free and progressive?

There is a general feeling today that the world we live in is free, open and progressive. Individual freedom is sacred, and it will be protected by all at any cost. Progressive ideas will be be accepted by both hands and promoted. Fanaticism and orthodoxy etc are things of past.

But if we have a closer look, it will sadly be revealed that, these notions are only in paper. We still live in a closed, orthodox world. The names of old masters must have been changed, but new masters are there to control everything. They hate changes. They love to stick on with old notions, hierarchies etc. Individuals are always shown their irrelevant places in society. The masters head all modern institutions, whether it is politics, big business, education, knowledge centers or religions.

This author, a philosophical and metaphysical researcher for many decades has recently sent an appeal to many top universities in the world,(top, as per internet sources) requesting their philosophy departments to have a look at some of his new findings on our FACULTY OF REASON, that he found playing the role of a mystery SENSE ORGAN in science's every inference and logical deductions. He was hinting at the potential of having a new epistemology for humankind's knowledge pursuits. We know, knowledge is acquired today, either by the belief system of religions, or that of our science. When religions believe in an almighty God, science believe in the supremacy of a physical world, originated by itself, and sustaining by the laws of thermodynamics.

But the result of my communication was a total silence from every recipient; no university has shown even the social courtesy of acknowledging his communication!

He would love to reproduce his communication with the top universities here, for all knowledgeable minds of the world to know and respond what ever way they feel fit. Individuals have their total  RESPONSIBILITY towards their rare opportunity of being in life.

Quote:

'Warm Greetings from an independent philosophy/metaphysics researcher, who has been into  knowledge-seeking for 3-4 decades. He is recipient of a Residential Fellowship from ‘Indian Council of Philosophical Research’(ICPR) in 1989.

Intention of this communication is to remind you, the custodians of modern knowledge, on the utter need of initiating further research into certain new fields of knowledge, such as on the prospects of a not yet known SENSE FACULTY of man,( as detailed in the attached link below) and few other fields that  the remaining part of this communication will delve into.

Love to share here initial hints on the proposed new SENSE FACULTY at the following work of this writer in this link:
https://isreasonasenseorgan.blogspot.com/2013/09/is-reason-internal-sense-organ-super.html.

Secondly, he has been into vigorous research for many years on the ‘SENSE OF SELF’ mechanism of humans.  We know, our present knowledge-system, which is heavily tilted towards the ‘physical’ nature of whatever that exists, claims that ‘sense of self’ is a phenomenon created by the brain activity. 

Perhaps this belief needs very thorough rethinking.  Following are the hints studied by this writer, and request you all to see, whether the said subject could be introduced to your university’s doctorate students to research and write theses on it: Such an exercise only will get involved at least a thousand more minds onto these subjects.

http://unrecognizedobjectsofthemind.blogspot.com/2017/05/the-physics-behind-birth-of-human-self-i.html

Then there is the concept of the WORLD; it also is a hot theme that deserves keen attention and further research by our young research students:  http://selfandworldblogs.blogspot.com/2015/03/is-world-absolute-object-or-relative.html

There are many other fields where the light of further research needed to be urgently initiated. Other than the initiative of top universities, I find no other way for these unheard subjects to find a place in modern knowledge system. 

Won’t mankind’s future deserves hints into such new knowledge-areas? Shouldn’t we end our disrepute of being what philosophy does as merely adding ‘foot notes’ to Plato?

This writer has even self published a book on such several themes that modern knowledge is yet to knock at, at Amazon link: https://www.amazon.in/Many-Doors-Knowledge-Mankind-Knock-at/dp/1514354772/ref=sr_1_1?qid=1581576727&refinements=p_27%3AAbraham+J.+Palakudy&s=books&sr=1-1

This writer is willing to aid the new researchers with any further clarification that they might need on these new themes. He doesn’t seek any self-promotion, fame or money. His simple intention is to get these themes the attention of our present day custodians of new knowledge, the Universities, for ensuring further research.

He realizes that, without few knowledgeable others too deep-indulge into such themes, they may not develop into full systems, and new base for future knowledge.  

I politely appeal to you all to pay deserving attention to whatever new knowledge seeds this writer has introduced, and initiate more work on them.  His complete pieces of work are at his blog spot; https://www.blogger.com/profile/14249415589712707293

With  lots of hope, I end this communication here.'

This was reproduced at this public sphere here to make the knowledgeable strata of world-public, that our world is not a free, open and progressive place as mentioned in the beginning.  

Existence seeks to develop individuals; never great, impersonal collectives. Collectives are only the MEANS for the individuals to intellectually develop. But our social-economic-political collectives (organisations/institutions) have a big role to play (by their acknowledged representatives) to convert our collectives into sacred, free, open and progressive places, where individuals could feel a very different, proud belonging. 

This strata of individuals include media men, our science and philosophy professionals etc. Politicians simply smart-use the existing darkness of minds. 

Their complacency will ensure continuation of the past dark ages, further.
