My web / personal religion / philosophy of life / sense of self / life list

My worldview. Life map. Web of beliefs. B-system. Personal philosophy. Personal religion. Sense of self. Way of life.This mind map is an aid to help you figure out your personal worldview: what you believe and value and how those beliefs and values relate to one another as well as to past experiences and how you live your daily life.Pay attention to whether your beliefs, values, practices, and experiences are consistent with one another or whether you have spots of cognitive dissonance where there's a conflict between, say, two of your beliefs or between a belief and a deeply held value.As you develop your "web" of beliefs you could also consider how it compares and contrasts with the beliefs, values, practices, and experiences of others. Although perfectly understanding others and where they're coming from is probably unrealistic if you put work into practicing imaginative empathy to construct what seems to you to be their web of beliefs, values, practices, and experiences, you could get some sense of where they're coming from and possibly get a glimpse of what it's like to be them.This sort of "worldview mind mapping" can also give you insight into the overall, often complicated, rationale of your beliefs and the beliefs of others. Moreover, worldview mind mapping could offer a rough and informal picture of what it means for a belief or practice to be rational or reasonable. This is true especially for our bigger-picture beliefs that can't be directly proven from, say, sense experience, introspection, memory, testimony, or so-called pure reasoning.

r

Here's where you add what matters to you. What's important to you? What's not? What do you feel is central and what's not that important? One way to think about this is to think through what you love, what you hate, and what you're indifferent about.These values inform how you evaluate things. Your personal judgment of values themselves, experiences, beliefs, practices, projects, and relationships.
