Personal

Background

Elijah Arenas is currently an undergraduate student at New Mexico State University, pursuing studies in psychology and communication studies. Academic work has taken place within both structured classroom settings and more exploratory, interdisciplinary contexts.

Time spent in a range of learning environments, including extended periods outside of conventional academic institutions, has contributed to an ongoing attentiveness to how understanding develops through experience, reflection, and dialogue.

Exposure to different cultural and educational settings, including time spent in India, has provided additional context for examining how meaning, discipline, and personal frameworks are shaped within broader social and philosophical traditions.

Values

• Representation is treated as provisional; no account of self or position is assumed to be fixed, complete, or enduring.
• Attention is left unclaimed. The material here is not designed to persuade, instruct, or direct interpretation.
• Authority is not asserted. Observations are presented without claims to expertise, guidance, or special insight.
• Meaning is not imposed. Readers are not expected to adopt conclusions, values, or perspectives presented here.
• Presence is non-instrumental. The site exists without expectation of response, agreement, or change.

Interests

• Inquiry into how perspectives, conditioning, and internal frameworks shape perception and experience
• Philosophical and psychological approaches to understanding the self as contextual, provisional, and relational
• The role of structure, language, and communication in clarifying or obscuring meaning
• Holistic considerations of well-being that account for psychological, social, and cultural dimensions
• Practices and systems that support reflection without prescribing outcomes or modes of living
