My Reflections on Cosmic Anthropology

by Shann Ferrer

 

Cosmic anthropology is retrieving man’s oneness with the multiverse, connecting us to all beings where only mystics and Eastern Religions are capable of. This is the kind of subject that makes us aware of the consciousness beyond the physical world. It delves deeper into the psychological, metaphysical and the spiritual realm of man in relation to the universe. There is no other course that discusses comprehensively the relationship of man towards the cosmos.

Cosmic Anthropology as an educational pedagogy broadens the understanding of the different fields of study and their relationship towards each other such as physical science, social science, metaphysical s and spiritual science. They are treated not as individual specialized field of study but interdisciplinary fields interwoven together to aide in understanding a reality holistically.

Cosmic Anthropology as a discipline engages an inclusive approach embracing all possibilities from pure physical scientific exercise to psychical, spiritual and esoteric   activities. It develops the potential of man both the Conscious and the Unconscious leaning towards both the practical (sustainable development, informal sectors, stocks, etc) and paranormal potentials (psychic power, teleportation, astral projection, etc). The discipline belittles  our conventional educational practice in schools and universities which boasts of  degrees and awards specializing in different fields without realizing that in the end, they are alienating themselves from each other. Dr. De Leon made special mentioned of the University of the Philippines (UP) last October 05, 2012 when he was one of the reactor at the Fr. Senden Memorial Lecture held at Adamson University during the 50th anniversary of  Asian Social Institute (ASI). For him specialization breeds narrow minded “experts” commonly called technocrats and missed the reality as a whole. Cosmic anthropology is the opposite. It is the only discipline that goes with the flow of the cosmos and embraces everything that comes in the course of study.

Cosmic anthropology as a belief grapples with God as a possibility or an Intelligent Being that designs the mystery of the Multiverse. This mystery unfolds in our everyday life.  Specifically, it does not discount man’s origin as a manipulation of extra terrestrial beings. Our galaxy being one of the 100 billion galaxies, we cannot discount the possibility that other beings exist.

The description above cannot exhaust fully the course in its entirety because if we do, it will delimit its possibilities. There are a lot more to explore and discover in this subject.  We can even call it the latest technology or a theory or even a vision. As a technology or theory this course departs from physical science trajectory to Quantum physics exploration of the metaphysical realities which only religion adhered for many centuries  even until now. As a vision, cosmic anthropology is the ultimate course that unites science and religion which is a utopia at the onset of renaissance even until the present.

The most amazing about this course is that every meeting we quest for more as if one semester is not enough. The lectures and contents continue to fascinate me and sustain my interest. Since last year when I have started at ASI, I felt liberated from the clout of traditional education because every subject touched the very core of my being. Myself as the replica of the bigger Universe was my greatest realization. It seemed every day is a new discovery, a new adventure and a new beginning. Cosmic Anthropology  is the course of the future. Thank you very much Doc. Paul for this “CONSCIOUSNESS."
