Crisis of Materialism and Philosophy of Your Own Life History/Saeed Salari

It is necessary to wait for some time and take a more general look at the trajectory of our life or if we were more willing at the trajectory of the lives along with a philosophical reflection, maybe a sort of philosophy on life history. With the main question that what are we doing? Where have we stood in our life and in the history of life? How much are we made up by our pure ideas and how much by the public imported ones? What are the effects of the imported phenomena on the psyche and the structure of our life?

It is enough, at the minimum look, to choose a subject or a phenomenon and then measure its ratio and the volume of its impact on our lives. For example, Materialism, not the one that deals with the rejection of the spiritual truth, A kind that ,in more pragmatic mood devours immaterial parts like religion, morality and the sublime art and then exports in a materialistic form.

A part of it may well be seen and under the systematic consumerism is recognized to the public. Perhaps In a simple and tangible words: "You want to buy cars and houses and castles, all of that's on you and how America has systematized your mind to be into materialism."

And of course, being systematic become thinkable, because you need to pause and align your energy and your thoughts or need to change the route of your thinking, you should know that you are in front of a powerful system. A system that its Ideas and tastes have been tattooed all over your body and your mind, and its thoughts flow on your tongue.

Famous Mitt Romney's father gives the crisis serious attention and believes we need to block it by a strong leader and perhaps a mighty movement to bring back the spiritual values and to remove the materialism and its affiliates such as the excessive selfishness and the modern immoralities.
It is upsetting that despite the fixed range of human lifetime, regardless of the events corresponding to each era, the speed rate of the growing materialism and its penetration into the lives and the community have increased several times. Maybe similar to the speech of Billy Graham it can be known like a forced emigration from temple to the matter. By this separation, what that remains is self-alienation, to the extent that after a period of time the peace be continuously sacrificed for the anxiety.

At the same time, you are able to establish a struggle on the opposite line, you don't need to go directly into the battle, and it is enough to add other things to your program, or drag a part of your materialism to the different direction, for instance altruism and helping the needy families. It means that buy a material but change the place of using from your home to another one; by this, beyond the creation of spirituality, indirectly you have gone to the war of consumerism.
And let's not forget that if this is accompanied by the awareness of the young generation as if we kill two birds with one stone. And thus we have prepared some minds for the future history that from now they have learned the fight against the materialism and consumerism as one of its outcomes, because according to Soyinka it should be remembered that" We live in a materialist world, and materialism appeals so strongly to humanity, no matter where."

Materialism, not by violence and hardship that comes with temptation, but the consequence is not other than trouble, since the attainment of the matter throughout the history of life has been along with hardship, and this is of course due to the nature of the matter. It must be understood that the tranquility is a spiritual subject and this is what we seek in every time and every aspect of our life and it is the fact that brings with itself happiness. But unfortunately, a type of historical determinism has changed the place of means and goals and by taking advantage of the "Fear" taken away the possibility of rethinking from us.

And the Media, as well, like a pair of glasses with iron glass only shows us a wall of advertising. A branch of modern slavery can be found here. Sionil Jose believes that" We are shallow because we have become enslaved by gross materialism, the glitter of gold and its equivalents, for which reason we think that only the material goods of this earth can satisfy us and we must therefore grab as much as can while we are able."

Human is Matter's Slave! The result of this speech. There is no need to think about that, we all are experiencing. Among these, what is worrying is the materialistic dangerous covering on the light of wisdom, as Sheldrake stated in this regard:" Contemporary science is based on the philosophy of materialism, which claims that all reality is material or physical."

The method for confronting is also from the type of Meaning: Rethinking in the philosophy of our life history. Asking basic questions of our goals in addition to philosophical reading of past events of the life and the correct positioning of the current location.
