PB Concept Map...
the picture of "Reality"
“The intellect offers a reality which can never be a felt reality but only a described one. Intellectual work can only paint the picture of Reality; we have to verify this picture by realizing it within our own experience.”
“He is to be concerned solely with the Reality, with that which Is, and not with the presentation of it which others have invented.”
Paul Brunton
At UR ‘we have invented’ a conceptual map or “big picture” that aims to show, in synthesized form, the essence and basic principles of Paul Brunton’s timeless message. The map is part of one of the items of the work “The Genuine Philosophy… of Paul Brunton” which can be found in the +AUTHORS section, in the ByStudyGuide division, ITEM 3 (from where you can download the Map in PDF format in case you want to handle it in a separate file or print it), and is presented here individually to facilitate the occasional consultation of those who, at any given moment, may find this brief and compressed outline useful.
The map shows a certain route through the different evolutionary stages of the Quest and is particularly designed to appreciate at a glance (on a single page) “the whole of the picture”, which facilitates the vision of “the whole process” (of the Quest) but understood as its synthesized representation. It also allows one to appreciate the unequivocal relationships between the different topics, ideas, arguments, or concepts that appear in Brunton’s work, and which are also present in some of the writings of other authors published on the UR site.
Additionally, the map incorporates a series of notes from PB and Ramana Maharshi, whose function is to reinforce the essential and conclusive meaning of each of the topics or concepts to which the notes are linked.
