Vedanta, Metaverse and Intellect: A Virtuous Circle of Knowledge

How virtual reality, self-inquiry and reason form a path to understanding.

I spoke about Vedanta, Metaverse, and Intellect with Jayashankar Krishnamurty and Nova Lorraine.

Metaverse is a virtual-reality space in which users can interact with a computer-generated environment and other users. Could a Metaverse be a tool of knowledge, a known factor, useful in knowing what is unknown? According to Vedanta's most representative text, the Bhagavad Gita, known factors alone can describe an unknown factor. Could the Metaverse be a great opportunity for our intellect, useful for understanding the concept of Maya (illusory reality in which we live and that we consider reality), liquefying the Ego in the infinite virtual amnion?
Whatever you approach in life, be it the Metaverse, sports, philosophy, art, or spirituality, do it using your intellect, without passively inheriting pre-packaged concepts worked out by other people. Intellect is not "copy and paste".
I spoke about Vedanta, Metaverse, and Intellect with Jayashankar Krishnamurty and Nova Lorraine.

Jayashankar, the Vedanta teacher, is a disciple of the eminent Vedanta Philosopher Swami Parthasarathy and Director of the Vedanta Institute of Hyderabad, India.
Nova is a multifaceted professional in the field of communication. She is an expert and explorer of the Metaverse: "I am a poet and a lover of language. I am intrigued by the power of communication, may it be through the written word, textiles, colour, shape, or music. Due to my academic training, I understand that we each take in environmental cues differently. We also develop individual languages to express ourselves to our tribe, industry, or culture. Knowing this, I enjoy shaping stories to fit multiple mediums while creating impact strategies based on the principles of design and psychology."

"The faculty to think, to reason is a human prerogative. All other beings lack this faculty since they do not possess an intellect. The intellect renders a human being the chef d’œuvre of creation. But the world is unaware of this unique status. And people do not care to develop this life-saving, life-sustaining, life-surpassing equipment, the intellect. Also, you fail to realise that thinking and reasoning are skilled work. You need to learn and practise. Like playing the violin or golf. You believe that thinking is a natural process like seeing, hearing or breathing. That you can think clearly, and precisely without putting in the necessary effort on your part. You must understand that to develop the faculty of thinking, and reasoning you need to devote as much time and effort to it as you would to learning any other art or skill."
