Increased literacy rates and improved writing systems facilitated the Axial Age because figures like Confucius, Laozi, the Buddha, and Socrates used writing as the primary method of communicating their ideas.1. True2. False

False.

The above figures do not believe that writing facilitated anything for them, but rather focused on mindful communication. Writing is of course important, as they document some of their thoughts, but it doesn't serve as their primary method of communicating idea.

Mindful communication is the practice of bringing our attention to our words. It means we are aware of what we’re saying while we’re saying it. It is a practice of observation and not evaluation. It is paying attention to others on purpose with a moment-to-moment awareness. And because it’s a learned skill ,anyone can apply it to his or her life, including Non-Buddhas, Non-confucists, etc..

atman means 'eternal self'. the atman refers to the real self beyond ego or false self. it is often referred to as 'spirit' or 'soul' and indicates our true self or essence which underlies our existence.

there are many interesting perspectives on the self in hinduism ranging from the self as eternal servant of god to the self as being identified with god. the understanding of the self as eternal supports the idea of reincarnation in that the same eternal being can inhabit temporary bodies.

the idea of atman entails the idea of the self as a spiritual rather than material being and thus there is a strong dimension of hinduism which emphasises detachment from the material world and promotes practices such as asceticism. thus it could be said that in this world, a spiritual being, the atman, has a human experience rather than a human being having a spiritual experience.
