Perspectivarium is a framework for modern life which draws on historical philosophies and global cultures.
Whatever your personal, spirutual or political beliefs and whichever corner of the world you live in there are terrible things going on right now. There always have been. Now, more than ever, we are exposed to this on a daily basis, through the news and social media. Rather than feeling powerless in the face of this, I wanted to create a toolkit that would help me to navigate life’s challenges and counteract some of the negativity in the world.
I started researching historical philosophies and global cultures and found there were often shared concepts that transcend time and borders. I then looked for scientific evidence that these beliefs or ways of being are actually beneficial to a person’s wellbeing. Finally I created a framework that brought this together and tested this out by applying it in my own life. Perspectivarium is the outcome of this work.
I have intentionally decided to remain anonymous. One of the main concepts of this framework involves taking action for the greater good, rather than to gain personal recognition. I want Perspectivarium to be about the framework rather than any personal brand.
As I am human, I do not lead a perfect life. Anyone who claims that they do is either deluded or lying. I want to be able to promote principles that I believe are right, without living in fear that the message will be muddied by any instances of me straying off my intended track, for this will happen frequently. I am proud to say that I manage to live the majority of my life by the principles I will set out in this framework but there will be days that I am lazy or self-indulgent or have a lapse in empathy.
I am just an average person, living a normal life with a desire to help others. Unless you are part of my relatively small social circle or even smaller family you will not know me, so please focus on the message I am trying to share rather than wasting valuable time and energy trying to work out my identity. I am really not that interesting.
