The Square and Semi-Circle of Existence: An Experiential Account of Development of Self Awareness

The paper is an experiential account of my journey through life and a study of different roles I play in my life which has led me to come up with the ‘square of existence’. This square details upon shared identity and how eventually the process of detachment is born which gives a more objective perspective to life. Three layers of emotions - anger, prayer and surrender which developed as a result of these processes and further paved way for the ‘semi circle of existence’. The semi circle comes to life only when we live truly in the square of existence and follow the meditative path of connecting and responding. The paper discusses various life aspects relating to detachment, surrender and meditation inspired by the teachings of Sri Aurobindo, The Mother and Sant Kabir and how they affect our way of being and becoming, thus laying foundation for a healthy psychological and emotional development.
