    This is a wiki for the Kira Ways of Knowing Workshop. We have weekly meetings at Kira Cafe  in the virtual world Second Life on Thursday at 2:00 pm SLT. Although, you can drop in at any time :) Please, see the events calendar.

    Notice:  The Workshop with Stim Morane finished on Jan. 7th 2010. Informal discussions have been taking place weekly from Jan. 17th 2010.

    Latest Additions

    • Recent discussions: 04.01.2011 - Buddhism & Psychology
    • Homework: Spiritual needs
    • Zen: The religious historian Karen Armstrong writes that, when traditions cease to address adequately a society's spiritual needs, people will find “new ways of being religious.” It is in our nature to pursue and, just as important, confer meaning upon the transcendent imperative." http://www.tricycle.com/feature/tran...ative?page=0,0
      Violet: I think religion handles that deeper "whatever is" better than psychology (which doesn't really address things like Being or reality at all)
      Mitsu Ishii: but buddhism and other spiritual traditions can be viewed in a non-dogmatic way, yet still address transcendent and existential issues in ways that psychology doesn't attempt to.
      Gaya Ethaniel: I wonder whether transcendent is the closest word to describe that.
      Mitsu Ishii: yeah the problem with "transcendent" is it implies going beyond the ordinary, but the ordinary is itself already transcendent
      Calvino Rabeni: How about "narrative" as a Way of Knowing?
      Mitsu Ishii: if you really appreciate it fully
       
    • Weekly homework discussion group (voice)!
      NEW TIME:  Saturday , 12pm SLT at Buyeo
    • Ways of Knowing now has a forum for wiki members at http://waysofknowing.kira.org/forum/index.php
