Does consciousness shape reality? This module delves into the Mandala's deepest philosophical layer: the premise that awareness is fundamental. We examine metaphysical idealism through both spiritual traditions (like Advaita Vedanta) and modern science (like quantum interpretation). This understanding forms the bedrock of the Mandala, informing why inner transformation is inseparable from outer change.
State the core postulates of idealism and the "hard problem" of consciousness.
Explain the dashboard model of reality and how idealism differs from materialism.
Use idealist principles to reframe personal subjective experiences and perceptions.
Compare and contrast analytic idealism with Eastern philosophical traditions like Advaita.
Weigh the explanatory power of idealism against other metaphysical models for consciousness.
Develop a personal argument for or against idealism based on evidence and reason.
