Aurapsikoterapi ve Otistikler Derneği Gönüllü Kamp Eğitimi

Otistikler Derneği'nin her sene Aurapsikoterapi ve Silahlı Kuvvetler işbirliği ile gerçekleştirdiği kamplara gönüllü olarak katılmak mümkün. Kampların amacı "otistik" çocuk ve gençlerin ailelerinden ayrı, kendi yaşıt ve akranları ile güzel bir tatil geçirmelerini sağlamak. Estetik kaygısından uzak sanatsal faaliyetler ile değişik sesler, renkler, dokunuşlarla, farklı yaşamlar kurgulayabilecekleri, gelişimlerine katkıda bulunabilecekleri ortamları, yaratıcılık ile birliştirmek için vaktiniz olursa, buyrun bağlantı kurabileceğiniz link :
Aurapsikoterapi

A touch of history.

Thoughtful people have explored "consciousness" with the best tools at their disposal since the beginnings of human language, tens of thousands of years ago. We are certainly no smarter than people were then --- in fact, historical linguistics seems to show that human languages have become grammatically simpler over time, rather than more complex. To understand the grammar of ancient Indo-European languages you had to be really smart. (Vocabulary size, however, has probably expanded for the most popular languages).
Human beings have always achieved sophistication when they paid attention to evidence that could be tested in the real world. For example, neolithic (stone age) cultures developed “archeo-astronomy,” as shown in monumental structures like Stonehenge. Such structures demonstrate accurate astronomical knowledge thousands of years before the spread of written language. There are many other examples. Melanesian peoples invented navigational techniques that allowed them to populate and carry on trade among tiny islands, thousands of miles apart, using only outrigger canoes. A mental technique like mantra meditation requires no special equipment; all you need is your ability to speak. It is quite possible, therefore, that consciousness-changing techniques were discovered by many peoples in many places throughout human history. For all these reasons we have to approach our study with considerable humility and respect for other traditions.

The contemplative traditions --- often using mantra meditation, the repetition of words or phrases --- have an immense age, both in Asia and the West. The inset figure is a clay impression of a rolled seal, said to date to the first millenium BCE, from the Harappa culture of ancient India. It shows a horned figure in the classic yoga posture, surrounded by animals. The figure may represent a god or shaman, or perhaps both, since many peoples did not make a strong distinction between the two. This seal may be a fragment of evidence for a contemplative tradition going back long before known writing systems. In the Hindu tradition some of the earliest Vedas are attributed to forest sages, who may have lived much as shamans did before the invention of agriculture about 10,000 years ago. Therefore contemplative practices, a 1P methodology for exploring consciousness, may be very ancient indeed.

The great contemplative traditions may have common sources, perhaps on the Indian subcontinent, since we have historical accounts of Alexander the Great encountering Yogis there, several centuries BCE. There was always a trade route between the Western and Asian worlds, both by caravan over land and by coastal shipping. Influence went both ways. For example, Roman architecture influenced the classical Indian temple sculptures, while the mathematical concept of “zero” as a place-holder in numerical notation--- a very important discovery --- came from India by way Persian and Arab sources to the Mediterranean and European world. Plato’s idealist philosophy --- which makes conscious ideas primary --- may have been influenced by Indian sources by way of Persia and Egypt. The later philosophy of Neo-Platonism was profoundly influential for thousands of years in Christian and Jewish traditions. For the last millenium Islam provided a bridge between Asia and the West, as we can see in Sufism and perhaps the Kabalah. In Western religions there are “secret” (hermetic) contemplative traditions, using mantra repetition, along with philosophical themes that seem remarkably consistent. So there may have been a constant flow of communication between different parts of the world for millenia.
It is very difficult to know when human self-conscious thought began. The word “cognition” (as in “cognitive science”) shares ancient Indo-European roots with the Sanskrit “jñana” (spiritual knowledge). (Look for the “gn” or “jn” combination, as in the English word “/k//n/owledge,” or “a-/g//n/ostic.” In Germanic languages there are words like “kennen,” meaning “to know.” English literature still has the /k//n/ motif in the word “ken,” and in Scottish English, “ye ken” means, “you know”). Likewise, the word “video” (from Latin, “I see”) shares Indo-European roots with the Sanskrit “Veda” --- the recorded “visions” of the ancient “visionaries.” The next time you see a music “video,” you might remember that you are seeing a “vision” that is related to all the other Indo-European words for seeing and knowing!
So it seems that even before the spread of writing, spoken ideas were communicated between Asia and the West, without leaving traces in stone or clay. Both Sanskrit and Pali, the canonical languages of Hinduism and Buddhism, are Indo-European languages that share common roots with Greek and Latin, as well as modern languages like English. So there must have been a great spread of influence at the very beginning of languages that we still know. Indo-European languages are believed to have spread across the Eurasian landmass about 6,000 years ago. For our purposes the point here is that there may be a basic set of ideas about “knowing” and “seeing” that humans have long thought of as conscious. These core ideas may go back to the beginnings of the languages we speak today. It seems that humans have thought about human thought for a long, long time.
