00:00hi i am eva maria wiesenthal ambassador for austria from the icons of change
00:11and i want to talk to you about the most necessary changes in our life
00:19in our world in our micro and macro causes we are gifted with
00:28overcoming the dualistic principle of cognition see josef mitra we can establish a new theory of
00:40philosophy a new theory of science new politics new way of personal and global health and peace
00:56with unconditional love as healing political
01:09power
01:15millions of people around the world are suffering by wars wars in themselves wars between
01:25countries and driven by hatred anxiety fear will for power they use philosophy and even more religion
01:37for justification for their war
01:43religion nowadays in our understanding is completely different from the original
01:58in the in their origin it was
02:05it was the relationship between the innest
02:11and the transcendent however we describe it around the world and we do have about 160 different
02:22descriptions that always try to describe
02:30the same in a way in the different way they understand it
02:36so religio i call this original conception and i do think that is the most necessary to come back to
02:46this
02:46this way of coming in contact with existence with our innest our soul
03:01and the transcendent and we all have
03:06the transcendent this love however you call it in our innest in this way we are all equal
03:19in the beginning of western philosophy
03:24logos was preferred to explain everything to explain reality to
03:30we explain everything and mythos myth was repressed
03:36logos means the logical way the rational way to describe what we can describe as far as we can describe
03:46and myth is
03:50evolution and mythos myth
03:52with our emotional contact
03:56our feelings
03:59our personal
04:02contact with
04:04the transcendent
04:06so 600 before christ there were also
04:10philosophers like socrates and plato
04:14who did not only speak about what we can perceive and how we can logically talk about it.
04:24No, already Socrates thought that it is Eros, the god of love,
04:29who takes us out of this prison of prejudices we are kept in.
04:41And the art of a philosopher to remind people to remember the original reality we were in before our incarnation,
04:58the ideas he called it, the spiritual world, he called meiotic, comparing it with his mother's profession,
05:12who was a midwife, helping mothers to bring their children into our world, to give birth to their children.
05:29And later Aristotle only concentrated on what we can perceive with our senses and logically, rational,
05:48in a rational way, describe and find out about what we have in us and around us.
06:01And this was an enormous loss,
06:10gradually loss,
06:12of getting in contact in an emotional way,
06:19in an intensive, personal way, intuitive way.
06:34And the Western world was influenced by Aristotle enormously.
06:45those Greek philosophers also used to follow their professor after they had finished their philosophical studies,
06:57to find out about themselves in a personal way, in a personal path.
07:21the German philosopher Kant thought we cannot come in contact at all with the world, per se, with the Welt
07:31an sich, he called it.
07:40and Freud made clear that we suppress a lot, that we deceive ourselves like this a lot, to feel okay.
08:00Karl Gustav Jung
08:02Karl Gustav Jung
08:05preferred
08:06to use Chinese philosophy, the I Ching especially, in his healing work.
08:13Niels Bohrijo
08:17took the yin-yang symbol as his logo, because he was sure that Chinese philosophy describes better what there is
08:28than his own quantum, physical findings.
08:33I myself finished my philosophical and other studies at the University of Vienna
08:40and I learned a lot from other traditions also especially from India, from China, from Tibet
08:52and also from South America and India and China they integrated logos and
09:05mythos to come in contact with existence in India philosophy was based on the
09:19religious texts of the Veda the Upanishads and the fundamental interest was to
09:29bring in contact the inner of the soul and they called it Atman with the whole of
09:40existence Brahman they called it and through meditation they thought we can
09:51we can come to ourselves instead of always only thinking and thinking as we
10:03know is a lot about what we learned how to think how we have to think how we should
10:14think so meditation was their way and the path of yoga the holistic medicine in
10:30India Ayurveda used the path of yoga taught the path of yoga and also they taught what
10:41what we can take to us that's healthy so I can say about diets and they brought it
10:52always in relationship to the personal condition and like this they strengthen the
11:02the body and the inner of course in China the aging was the basis of philosophy the
11:19book of changes and with this book of changes they tried to control energies and
11:33emperors and emperors aristocrats made their decisions based on the itching and
11:47nowadays also a lot of people use the itching for making their decisions and for
11:57controlling energies they used Tai Chi Guan and Qi Gong and like this they healed it was a
12:18preventive medicine a holistic preventive medicine in China doctors were paid as long as their
12:27clients were healthy in Tibet philosophy and science was based on faith directly based on faith
12:50doctors for example prepared their medicine and prepared their medicine during their priests praying and the love of the priests
13:09the love of the doctors
13:12doctors made this medicine to a medium to teach patients about love as much as you can learn about love
13:27and you never can learn about love in a rational way you can only learn to feel it in frameworks
13:37like meditation
13:57do you know that if you don't really want to feel it in a variety of different things
13:59do not have feeling it in mirrors they want to feel it out and are broadband-producing
14:09systems of your compassionate
14:10it again in those frameworks I just have told you about and if we have felt it we
14:30are sure it exists and only when we have learned to love ourselves we can love others so love is
14:51the healing power we have to evoke in ourselves and inspire others and if we feel it we also find
15:06out that we are responsible not only for what we do but also for what happens to us we are
15:15responsible for our education the education of our children about politics for politics we are
15:24responsible also for war and peace so let us work for peace
15:40artwork is also a way to learn to come in contact with your innest with yourself with existence with
15:53the transcendent so with art you can also change your life as I did and
16:00and I hope that you would like to work with me that we come together in a way and please
