Tokens of Reality: On the Prospective Nature of Virtual Consciousness

Abstract This work concerns the distinction of the nature of an individual's conscious reality via the use of a “truth token.” The latter can, most readily, be represented as a unique object or bespoken pattern that is exclusively associated with that person's originating reality. It is a talisman that permits an unequivocal return to that reality upon demand. These objects, or even neurocognitive patterns, access sensory-perceptual, memorial, and/or action-based profiles to characterize their individuality and to subsequently activate their function. The advantages of, and barriers to, achieving the successful implementation of such touchstones are considered here in light of contemporary problems with verifying currently reported expressions of reality, and future challenges to unique distinctions amongst the potentialities for technologically-enabled multi-worlds.

КУЛЬТУРА ДИСКУРСА И ЛОГИСТИЧЕСКИЕ АСПЕКТЫ ВЕРБАЛЬНОГО ПОВЕДЕНИЯ

The article is dedicated to antinomy of discourse of speech activity and logistic of verbal behaviour. The world of objectively existing phenomena is contrasted with the reality of consciousness, manifesting phenomenal reality “for us”. Discourse is analyzed not in connection with the concept of culture of individual speakers, but as a significant phenomenon in any culture. The phenomenon of logos is examined in the light of civilization and mental states of language users. It has been noted that the language combines the receptive and monumental  essence and existence. It is postulated that the linguistic attempt to comprehend the world as the totality of knowable and knowing is feasible on the principles of receptive phenomenology. The opposition between interaction and communication sheds light on the essence of logos and its verbal embodiment in the word of Homo loquens (speaking human).

Quantum Physics and the Existence of God

Interpretations of quantum physics are shown to presuppose the reality of consciousness. But if a minimal realism about the external world is true, then the consciousness presupposed by quantum reality cannot be only that of the scientific observer, cannot be only ‘local’ but must be ‘global’. Global consciousness is argued to have all and only the essential properties of God. Quantum reality depends on God’s consciousness and the physical world depends on quantum reality. Therefore, the physical world depends on God’s consciousness.

ՄԱՐԴԸ ԵՎ ԱՌԱՐԿԱՅԱԿԱՆ ԱՇԽԱՐՀԸ ՎԻՐՋԻՆԻԱ ՎՈՒԼՖԻ «ՋԵՅՔԸԲԻ ՍԵՆՅԱԿԸ» ԵՎ «ՄԻՍԻՍ ԴԵԼՈՈՒԵՅ» ՎԵՊԵՐՈՒՄ / THE MAN AND THE MATERIAL WORLD IN VIRGINIA WOOLF’S NOVELS “JACOB’S ROOM” AND “MRS. DALLOWAY”

The subject matter of this article is the examination of the literature of one of the outstanding English modernist writers, Virginia Woolf, and the problem of establishing the human “I”, where human senses record the process. As a literary critic and theorist, Woolf was also a bold experimenter who sought to explore new possibilities and perspectives of the novel genre. She used the psychological method of the “stream of consciousness” in her prose. A method by which the “conscious reality” of the character is brought out. Through this technique, the writer creates a unique fictional world that “lives” only by its own laws. The most prominent representative of modernist literature in her novels attached primary importance to a person’s state of mind, his personality and feelings. While depicting human personality Virginia Woolf strives to see and capture in the moment what is inherent in human nature: all the complexity, the unfathomable changeability of his inner being, at the same time contrasting it to the eternal and lasting. In her works, Virginia Woolf refuses to follow rigid literary norms, in contrast to the “materialistic” writers of the previous era, considering herself “spiritual”, i.e. a “spiritual” writer. People, things, feelings are “temporary and transient”. The author strives for that “transient” to find the “spirit” in which the issues of life are embedded.

반 고흐의 신 표상(Representation of God) 변형에 관한 정신분석적 연구

This paper investigated the transformations of Vincent van Gogh’s god representation from a psychoanalytic perspective. The internal/external factors accounting for the transformation in god representation were examined and four themes were deduced. First, the god representation can be transformed due to the individual’s need for psychic equilibrium and defensive purposes. Second, if the object relationship which was the crucial foundation for the formation of the god representation is transformed, the individual’s god representation may accordingly be transformed. Third, an individual may transform one’s god representation in order to integrate his/her unconscious desires and conscious reality. Fourth, an individual may transform his/her god representation into a subjective and private one as an uncommunicated factor. The results substantiated that an individual’s god representation is connected with internal/external reality and can be dealt with clinically in order to develop a healthy religious life.

Bell: A Symbol of Wholeness

This study explores the bell’s attributes as a representation of wholeness, analyzed through the lens of analytical psychology. Encompassing its production, religious significance, and literary references, our aim is to uncover the profound meaning behind the bell. The bell’s transformative journey parallels the internal struggles of individuals grappling with emerging energies while bringing unconscious thoughts into awareness. As a potent symbol, the bell possesses the unique power to bridge and harmonize opposing elements. It plays a dual role as both a religious emblem and a literary motif, embodying spirituality as a conduit for divine communication, while also safeguarding against malevolent spirits and natural perils. Additionally, it symbolizes the intricate balance between feminine and masculine forces. The resonating sound of the bell serves to awaken consciousness, initiating a cyclical process alternating between awareness and the unconscious, facilitating the experience of death and rebirth. Operating as an alarm, it illuminates existence, stirring the psyche toward an altered state of awareness and eventual conscious realization. Therefore, the bell acts as a catalyst, facilitating creative transformation that integrates disparate aspects into unity, embodying the essence of wholeness within an individual’s psyche. Through this exploration, we shed light on the bell’s pivotal role in profound psychological transformation.

Виртуальная реальность как превращенная фор­ма

The article provides an analysis of one problem related to the discussion of the ontologi­cal status of virtual reality. The author proposes to discuss the problem of the reality of virtual worlds in terms of transformed forms. In this regard, an analysis is given of how this concept was introduced by K. Marx and how it was discussed further in the scientific literature. It is proposed to perceive the transformed form not as a perverted or false real­ity, but as a separate form of life presented in its transformation. An example is the meta­morphosis of the cost of labor into the monetary form of a commodity, as was shown in Capital. On this example, a proposal is made, according to which virtual reality is the same transformed form of reality, and not an illusion of consciousness, and not an imaginary world. The qualities of the transformed form of reality are introduced: 1) a separate, but not independent form of life; 2) playing a role in the process of trans­formation as an indirect form; 3) representation in the form of a copy of the original; 4) sign-symbolic mode of existence; 5) dependence on the original, generic form of real­ity, not independence. It is shown that virtual reality is, as it were, an unembodied form of reality, existence in its potency. Such a representation was presented in the history of philosophy in the form of the idea of potential being. But this idea did not subse­quently become the basis for the development of an independent ontology of virtual real­ity. A distinction is made between the concept of virtual reality as a reality, not an illusion (the reality of digital objects) in the concept of D. Chalmers, and reality in the form of its transformed form. It is shown that virtual reality is not reduced only to the reality of imaginary worlds, to the reality of consciousness, the reality of special psychological states. The rationale is given that virtual reality is the continuation of a natural-artificial process of metamorphosis of human activity, only embodied in its transformed form. In this regard, the author proposes to interpret virtual reality as a form of life in its trans­formation and non-incarnation, which a person must use as a new resource for their de­velopment in order to overcome alienation from themselves.

Healthy lifestyle and its constituent factors

When implementing valeology-a healthy lifestyle, another question, if any, is the importance of psychological psychological training in the formation of a healthy lifestyle. In this regard, every person, trying to live in accordance with the requirements of a healthy lifestyle, should be ready from a psychological point of view to develop a desire in him. Consequently, changing the doctrine of a healthy lifestyle is of great importance for a person's conscious approach to this issue, conscious regulation of his behavior and achievement of the intended goal, overcoming the obstacles he faces at the same time (such as doubts, fears, distrust), relying on will. the conscious realization of the psycho-emotional state remains a key issue in the formation of a healthy lifestyle.

BRIGADE-LABORATORY METHOD OF TEACHING AND STUDENTS OF PEDAGOGICAL EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS OF THE USRR (MID 20'S - EARLY 30'S OF THE ХХth CENTURY)

In the article it is stated that the students of pedagogical educational institutions were an effective factor in implementation of the brigade-laboratory method of teaching, which supplanted the dominant lecture method. Although many students at first gave a lukewarm support to the updating of the methodic component, as any changes carry new risks, because the end result could be not predictable. Leading party and state authorities responsible for the implementation of this method, using various means of propaganda, convinced young people that the educational process itself required the introduction of active teaching methods aimed at training professionals with a broad scientific outlook, could critically operate with auxiliary materials, skills for independent thinking, solve practical problems with scientific methods and techniques. The new methodology was to promote the development of students' skills of independence, would accustom them to self-control and consideration of their strengths, understanding and conscious realization of the purpose of work. Having analyzed the decrees of all-Union and all-Ukrainian conferences and student meetings, the authors have concluded that students generally welcomed the new method, although they do not reject the fact that decisions were often dictated by party bodies. It is noted that the new system was built on the principle of division of students into units, which after a short instructing by a teacher, independently performed complex tasks. The work was mostly carried out collectively with a clear division of tasks between members of the unit, who had to take into account interests of the team, and hence the public interest. Teachers controlled the correctness of the tasks, checked and, if necessary, adjusted the progress of work, provided appropriate assistance. The results of the unit were presented in the form of a report by one of the students who represented the team. Among the disadvantages of this method - is the reduction of theoretical courses, superficial studying of program material, outdated and often non-unified systems of assessment of young people's knowledge, weakening of their individual responsibility for their work.

A Study on the Enlightenment of Zen through Seonyo

이 논문의 목적은 간화선의 깨달음의 과정을 고찰하여 간화선의 실용화와 대중화에 대한 단초를 마련하는 데에있다. 이를 위해 고봉화상선요(高峰和尙禪要) 를 통해 전달되는 선의 깨달음의 내용이 무엇인지 선요의 본문을바탕으로 알아보고, 이러한 깨달음의 내용을 실현하는 방법인 삼요(三要)를 중점적으로 살펴보았다. 본 연구에서는 먼저 선요의 본문을 바탕으로 1. ‘언어와 문자에 대한 탈분별(脫分別)’과 2. ‘여실지견(如實知見)의 즐거움’, 3. ‘무상(無常)과 연기(緣起)를 통한 평상심(平常心)’을 소제목으로 추려내어 원문과의 비교를 통해 선요에서 전달하려는 선의 깨달음의 내용이 무엇인지 고찰하였다. 다음으로는 선요의 삼요(三要)를 1. ‘확고부동한믿음의 강조 – 대신근(大信根)’, 2. ‘깨달음에 대한 끊임없는 정진의 욕구 – 대분지(大憤志)’, 3. ‘생사를 거는 문제제기-대의정(大疑情)’으로 선요에서 전하는 간화삼요의 뜻을 조명하여 선의 깨달음의 내용을 실현하는 방법을 살펴보았다. 본 연구를 통해 선요에서는 연기와 무아에 대한 바른 이해를 갖추면 그것을 자기 삶을 통해 실천해 나가야겠다는 간절한 염원이 생기며. 그래서 연기와 무아에 맞게 사고하고 행동하여 이것이 인격화되는 길을 보여준다. 선요에서 나타난 선은 바로 이 진리를 당장 이 자리에서 체화(體化)하거나 환히 드러내 보이는 길을 보여준다. 따라서 선요에서 말하는 깨달음은 바로 공(空)에 바탕을 둔 반야행(般若行)이며, 그 반야는 연기와 무아에 근거한다. 선요에서의 깨달음은 그것에 집착하지 않고 의도하지 않음으로써 오히려 드러나고, 그 모든 것은 일상생활의 평상심으로 보여준다. 이러한 평상심은 연기의 법칙을 체득한 깨달은 자의 본래면목(本來面目)이라고 할 수 있다. 이런 깨달음을 얻는 과정인 선요에서의 삼요(三要)는 큰 믿음[大信根]과 큰 분심[大憤志], 큰 의심[大疑情] 등이 세 요소가 모두 갖추어진 상호보완적 관계의 성격을 갖는다. 즉, 의심[大疑情]을 통해 믿음에 대한 확신[大信根]이 생기고, 다시 이는 본래심의 자각적인 깨달음으로 전향[大憤志]됨으로써 삼요는 서로에 의해 조건 지워지며추동해나가는 연기적 관계임을 선요에서는 밝힌다.The purpose of this study is to prepare the basis for the practicalization and popularization of Ganhwaseon by examining the process of enlightenment of Ganhwaseon. For this purpose, based on the text of Seonyo, what is the content of the enlightenment of Zen delivered through Gobonghwasangseonyo(高峰和尙禪要) In this study, first, based on the main text of Seonyo, 1. ‘De-distinguishment(脫分別) of language and writing‘, 2. ‘The pleasure of being aware of the truth(如實知見)’, 3. Through ‘Interdependent arising(緣起)’ and ‘Impermanence(無常)’ : ‘Ordinary state of mind ; (平常心)’ were selected as a sub-title and compared with the original text, the content of the enlightenment of Zen to be conveyed in Seonyo was considered. Next, the three point of Seonyo(三要): 1. ‘Emphasis on inflexibility faith - The Great Faith(大信根)’, 2. ‘The desire for continuous effort for enlightenment - The Great Aspiration(大憤志)’, By illuminating the meaning of Ganhwa Samyo(看話三要) conveyed in Seonyo with 3. ‘Raising the issue of life and death - The Great Question(大疑情)’, we looked at how to realize the content of the enlightenment of Zen. Through this study, in Seonyo, if we have a correct understanding of Interdependent arising(緣起) and no-self(無我), we will have a strong desire to put it into practice in our own life. Therefore, it shows the way to humane by thinking and acting in accordance with Interdependent arising(緣起) and no-self(無我). The Zen shown in the seonyo shows the way to embody or brightly reveal this very truth right here and now. Therefore, the enlightenment spoken of in Seonyo is the practice of Wisdom in Buddhism(般若行), which is based on Interdependent arising(緣起) and no-self(無我). Enlightenment in Seonyo is rather revealed by not obsessed with it and not intentionally, and all of it is shown in the ordinary mind of everyday life. This ordinary mind can be said to be the genuine aspect of an enlightened person who has mastered Interdependent arising(緣起). The three songs in Seonyo, which is the process of attaining such enlightenment, are a complementary relationship in which all three elements, such as great faith [大信根], great aspiration [大憤志], and great question [大疑情], are provided. has the character of that is, through question [大疑情], confidence in faith [大信根] is generated, and this is converted to a conscious realization of the genuine aspect [大憤志]. Sunyo reveals that it is a complementary relationship.

Menjadi Bahagia di Jalan Dao (道): Kebahagiaan Sejati menurut Chuang Tzu (Zhuangzi, 莊子)

In the last decade, scientists in almost all disciplines often elaborate happiness using interdisciplinary approaches, metodologies, and measurements, both quantitative and qualitative. Beside scientific approaches, one can also explore this topic from the viewpoint of speculative and phenomenological thinking. This viewpoint describes the experiences of happiness by realising empirical and rational knowledge as well as esoteric consciousness of reality as such. It is Chuang Tzu (Zhuangzi), whose thoughts elaborate cognitive and intuitive sides of human mind, who offers a philosophy in order to bring forward an awareness of reality as itself. Chuang Tzu argues for a realisation of conjunction of both cognitive and intuitive capabilities of human mind, as well as its rational and mystical sides. The realisation of both natural capabilities brings about conditions for modern people’s experience of happiness.

THE CONCEPT MODERN LIFE IN MODERN UKRAINIAN LINGUACULTURE

In this article, consideration is given to the investigation of the meaning and peculiarities of the semantic structure of the linguacultural concept MODERN LIFE functioning in modern Ukrainian worldview. Linguacultural concept is treated as a multi-layered mental formation in culture that organizes the knowledge of a certain fragment of reality in the consciousness of a certain language and cultural community. Linguacultural concept accumulates knowledge about a certain fragment of reality in the collective consciousness of a certain national language and cultural community, it is objectified by its linguistic form and marked by language and cultural specifics. The concept MODERN LIFE plays an important role in the life of every civilized man. Its significance for Ukrainian culture is grounded because it serves as one of the most important key phrases with high emotional intensity and broad associative field. Aiming to determine the main lexical means that stand for the investigated concept this research demonstrates the strong connection between language and culture and theirinfluence on each other.The article focuses on the peculiarities of the free association experiment and the receptive experiment. Associative experiment allows to reconstruct the relations of language units in the language consciousness of native speakers and to specify the peculiarities of the occurrence of these units in language consciousness. The advantage of this method is also reflected in the fact that it can reveal more distinctive features of the concept, and through the frequency of reactions to define the relevance of these features in language consciousness. The receptive experiment aims at discovering the specifics of understanding and perception of a concept, its subjective definition. It allows obtaining more information about the understanding of specific units in the process of concept verbalization. Moreover, by application of receptive and associative experiments the article aims at specifying the thematic fields in the semantic representation of the concept. The interpretation of experimental data, allowing to specify the meanings associated with the concept in the minds of Ukrainian native speakers provides the analysis of semantic modifications caused by social and political events in Ukrainian realis, history and society. Receptive and associative experiments were held with 87 Ukrainian speaking students, graduate students (81 females and 6 males) at Foreign Languages Department of Ternopil Volodymyr Hnatiuk National Pedagogical University, Ukraine. The respondents’ age was from 18 to 22.With the help of the free word association test the connections of the concept MODERN LIFE in the Ukrainian language consciousness and the semantic zones of this stimulus phrase were determined. Psycholinguistic ideas about modern life in Ukraine are manifested in the ambivalence of the components, the semantic clues of which are “technology/gadgets”, “internet/online” and “communication”. Qualitative analysis of the results of the free word association test helped to build the respondents’ images of modern Ukrainian hallmarks (borshch, EuroMaydan / Maidan and war). The linguacultural concept MODERN LIFE functioning in modern Ukrainian worldview bears negative connotation. Next, we subtracted the highest and lowest values displayed above the group of bars andmade comparison between the with the reference to results, the tallest vertical bar for the value The essential components of this concept are “self-confidence” and very close to it is “strong family”. Thus, the benefits of the methods of the experimental study of the concepts in the study of the features of the national worldview are stated in the research.

Social Project as a Technology for Developing Leadership Qualities in Modern Students

The article shows the potential of a social project in the formation of leadership qualities in students. The essence of a social project is revealed, the stages of its implementation are shown. The author focuses on the concept of leadership, considers the key qualities of a leader. One of the demanded qualities of a leader in modern life is his active life position, which is expressed in the conscious realization of his social roles. Social project facilitates the development of such activity. We used social project as a technology for the development of leadership qualities in students. To that end, we have conducted a survey among the students of the faculty of service, tourism, and technology of public catering (N=69) with the aim to reveal the leadership skills. The results of testing showed insufficient development of these skills. We have assumed that the participation of students in the development and realization of the social project would foster more intensive development of leadership qualities. The realization of the social project “Supporting of persons with impaired mobility in city infrastructure” under the guidance of teachers and experts has justified the efficiency of the implemented technology. Upon the project completion the students demonstrated better results in four positions.

The digital conscious: the becoming of the Jungian collective unconscious

The rise of the digital domain has created a new virtual world that is eternal and ethereal and with it, has created a philosophical entropy state where more than ever technology has superseded cultural thought and ethics. What Jung once described as the collective unconscious was deemed once as being parapsychology or too esoteric is now a conscious reality of creation. We now, accidentally or intentionally, take part in creating a collective unconscious that more than ever has a visible presence and massive direct and indirect effect on our cultural groups as well as having a global unconscious appeal.

Der Intellekt ist nicht genug. Das proklische „unum in nobis“ bei Berthold von Moosburg

Abstract. In his commentary on the Elementatio theologica of Proclus, Berthold von Moosburg claims that the Proclean supersapientia is superior to Aristotelian metaphysics because it has a cognitive principle that is superior to the intellect. This unum in nobis also establishes a cognitive habitus, which consists in the union with the divine. This article shows how Proclean science leads to deification and to what extent it is the expression and conscious realization of deification. Examining the relationship between the “one in us” and the intellect, it becomes clear that Berthold does not equate them with each other. Nevertheless, the intellectus adeptus, in whose conception Berthold is more oriented to Albertus Magnus than to Dietrich von Freiberg, is a necessary and never fully obsolete precursor for the union with the divine. With this view, Berthold integrates the Arabic-Peripatetic doctrine of the acquired intellect into the Proclean doctrine of the five modes of knowledge, thus returning them to their historical and systematic origin.

Conscious Materialistic Realization: Bediuzzaman Said Nursi’s Concept

The reality of consciousness and cognition has consequences that are comparably pervasive; while subjectivism, realism and naturalism depended on science for valued truthful response. A strong connection to and advancement of the underlying idea of knowledge accumulation is to the contest alongside socialism and instinctive sympathy or fellow feeling between people with something in common. Bediuzzaman Said Nursi’s view of modern science and innovative references for development are covered here. Modern civilization is the product of the thought of integrating the natural sciences with the religious sciences to strengthen the truths on beliefs. His strong preaching’s under laid peace and harmony do not use any force and avoid any disruption. Public order and security must be maintained, and any damage caused by unbelief forces could be repaired by the healing truth of the Quran.

Статеве виховання школярів як складова діяльності соціального педагога в школі

The article deals with the problem of sexual education in modern educational institutions. It is emphasized on the lack of effective work carried out by pedagogical staff in the direction of sexual education, inadequate theoretical and methodological training of pedagogical workers (social teachers, teachers), low level of pedagogical culture of parents. It has been shown that among scholars there is no single definition in the interpretations of «sexual», «sexual», «gender» education. The sexual education of the author is understood as a process of systematic, deliberately planned and implemented education, which involves a definite end result of action – the formation of sexual consciousness and behaviour. Proceeding from this, the pivotal aspect of such upbringing is the formation of the sexual culture of the individual, its preparation for the conscious realization of gender roles − sexually determined social standards of conduct. Sexual and sexual behaviour of a mature person is a culture and sexual life of a person, and interpersonal communication, and appearance, and the attitude towards your health. Variety of interpretation of the concept of «sexual education» indicates its complex structure and requires adults to pay special attention to the unity of the family and educational institutions in this process. The results of the survey of schoolchildren, which confirmed the assumption that in the secondary schools the low level of attention of pedagogical workers to the issue of sexual education and showed the need and importance of conducting work on sexual education with schoolchildren, it is the social pedagogue, to whom they relate to trust and understanding, and the question of the correct organization in the school environment of sexual education of the person from the side of pedagogical workers, especially social educators, practical psychologists, class leaders is archivious. The prospects of further researches, in particular, development of the integral system of sexual education of pupils in the conditions of a comprehensive institution and experimental verification of its effectiveness, studying the peculiarities of the work of the social pedagogue in the sexual education of children with disabilities are presented.
