Indeed it is a vast subject, thus more specifically, what I will investigate and convey in this essay is
the interdisciplinary correlatives between the scientific perspectives and that of Buddhist teachings. In regards to science, I will include neuroscientific perspectives without this
constricting this essay to include other point of views that originate in different disciplines but nevertheless integrate well with science, such as psychological and philosophical perspectives. In regards to the Buddhist doctrine I will refer to fundamental principles of emptiness (Suññata) and dependent co-arising (paticcasamuppāda) to exemplify notions of experience related to consciousness. Passing through these
contradictory disciplines in the past but cooperative at present, and taking in account important philosophies of science and Buddhism to explore “consciousness” in its broad
and complex view, I will offer a perspective on what can be reasoned as ‘essence consciousness’ and 'Information Data'.

Philosophy, which is nothing other than befriending wisdom, brings ‘light’, unity and understanding to the ‘being-in-the-world’. ‘Light’ in a spiritual sense that can be interpreted as the ‘not-any-more burden’ that parallels freedom, and in spiritual essence as the luminous golden and white vividness of a pure emptiness and insight. The embodied body, being porous and permeable in its nature, has neither boundaries nor limits, for in-itself constitutes the perfect vessel where the ‘liminal self act’ can conjoin the exterior with the interior, the sentient with the non-sentient, and the material with the immaterial. Only then man can realise that he is one with the world, co-existing in freedom within the illusory material.

The word community comes from the Latin ‘commūnitās’, which mean ‘common’ so it relates to the group of people who have common goals or principles to coexist; to be together as a whole. But also, from a different perspective, the word community incorporates the words ‘com’ which in Latin means ‘with’, and the word ‘unity’ which all together signifies ‘with unity’. So it is clear that the signification of the word ‘Unity’ is inherently present to
what a community is. Further to this I comment on the terms 'acting out' and 'act of knowing' to bring light on our conducts of right and wrong.

This exploration allows me to convey that man should embody unconditional love and fearlessness for creating constructive, inter-subjective and
wholesome relationships within a society and beyond. A cross-reference with the basic laws in Buddhist tradition and the famous term by C. G. Jung ‘individuation'.
