Objective awareness

Description:

This is experienced as seeing that the objective reality of life is that the word of life is in every situation; as being aware of the difference between saying that life is good and experiencing that life is good at every moment. An example is the father in the movie "The Hotel New Hampshire", who constantly picks up his life and lives it in spite of crushing blows.

Context:

In the ICA New Religious Mode in the arena of articulating the word about life (the life of knowing) the third formal aspect is one's experience of contentless transformation or the greatness of the word. At the first phenomenological level, this occurs when one sees through the events of everyday life and one's own subjectivity, to discern existence clearly.<

Contentless transformation

About the Encyclopedia

The Encyclopedia of World Problems and Human Potential is a unique, experimental research work of the Union of International Associations. It is currently published as a searchable online platform with profiles of world problems, action strategies, and human values that are interlinked in novel and innovative ways. These connections are based on a range of relationships such as broader and narrower scope, aggravation, relatedness and more. By concentrating on these links and relationships, the Encyclopedia is uniquely positioned to bring focus to the complex and expansive sphere of global issues and their interconnected nature.

The initial content for the Encyclopedia was seeded from UIA’s Yearbook of International Organizations. UIA’s decades of collected data on the enormous variety of association life provided a broad initial perspective on the myriad problems of humanity. Recognizing that international associations are generally confronting world problems and developing action strategies based on particular values, the initial content was based on the descriptions, aims, titles and profiles of international associations.

About UIA

The Union of International Associations (UIA) is a research institute and documentation centre, based in Brussels. It was established in 1907, by Henri la Fontaine (Nobel Peace Prize laureate of 1913), and Paul Otlet, a founding father of what is now called information science.

Non-profit, apolitical, independent, and non-governmental in nature, the UIA has been a pioneer in the research, monitoring and provision of information on international organizations, international associations and their global challenges since 1907.
