Barbara,
I really did not intend my posts to cause this trouble for you - and have no animosity, but only regret in my heart at this situation. If we can have nothing in common but nobility of purpose - we can be, at least not unfriendly, and I for one will happily refrain from use of foul language.
best wishes,
mark.

Philosophy is a particular kind of knowledge; I mean for example, that the science of house building is termed architecture.
Philosophers are the attendants of Zeus the winged god, according to their character we can endure a heavier burden, and to this which makes philosophers to fall down and worship, love and fashion and adorns as a image of Zeus The followers of Zeus have a mind like him; and therefore seek out a philosophical and imperial nature, and when they have found love we philosophers have been compelled possessed like the Bacchic Nymphs, they draw inspiration from Zeus.
Knowledge must raise a pang or love in the philosopher’s breast. Philosophers must make no excuses of this love. The philosophers there is nothing they will not do in order not to lose a single flower that blooms from love of wisdom. We have tasted knowledge and are curious to learn; always striving never satisfied may be justly called the philosopher. Am I not right?

imagine God shining in company with the celestial forms shining in clearness through the clearest aperture of the mind. For sight is the most piercing of our bodily senses; though not by that is wisdom seen.
We are carried round in the revolution, troubled indeed, censured by the herds, but with difficulty beholds true being as God wills.

Philosophy in the first place few schools teach it leads to a lack of the pursuit of them and understandably they are difficult; especially without a teacher. Plus as matters stand today students today are too high and mighty and see no profit in learning. Nevertheless, even though disregarded marred as useless, but by its natural charm emerges into light.
When I finished reading “Hegel’s Phenomenology of Mind,” in 1983 I had this desire to write about Hegel’s philosophy. I promised myself the next book that came to me I would give it a try rewriting it.
The next book was “Hegel’s Philosophy of Nature,” translated by A.V. Miller. What happened was 1984 a fellow worker knew how much I loved Hegel was in a public library passed a pile of books stacked high in a trash bin ready to be destroyed. On top was “Hegel’s Philosophy of Nature,” and a sign saying all the books were free.
I began writing on yellow legal pads eventually graduated to a computer, It took years to accustom myself to conceive more accurately and distinct but I could find no method more simple or more distinctly available. I catalogued everything, which gave me truth and laws of nature, and I reasoned if not perfectly, at least as well as was in my mind. I examined and re-examined, filtered and equated until no possibility of doubt.
I like Descartes felt that this was really strange to say that I knew and understood even seemed to me imprecise.

Know thyself look in self and know what is truth. The homeland of truth is virtue. Early times virtue was the solid base had significant good.
The problem is truth vanishes in the course of the incident. Truth is mere sense-certainty, and perception; it is only a conception of things. Certainty is equal with truth, because it vanishes. Into the native land of truth is self-consciousness, an attitude that comes into being.
The principle of knowledge is wholly directed to truth. The power of knowing is distinguishing truth from error is properly called science.
There is nothing that assures us what we see is true, excepting the clear and distinct knowledge. If it could ever happen that, a thing that you conceive so clearly and distinctly could be wrong. All things perceived very plainly and very clearly are true but at the same time recognized as being uncertain.
Knowing is the ultimate and absolute truth of consciousness, for truth what is everything, which gives certainty by its means of exercising reason of things. Knowledge must be dependent on principles derived from wisdom, which it was requisite above all to try to establish certainty in it.
Know thy self is the element of thought is pure knowing and because it is pure knowing it is absolute truth there can be nothing so remote that we cannot reason. The faculty of reason is skillfully disposed in mind is the best able to persuade others of the truth and not mere rhetoric al expression however, reason is not precise science but contributes to the advancement of science.

Know thyself is the ultimate absolute truth Pure knowing of self appears as a mere standpoint, namely, something thoroughly familiar, something everyone finds in themselves, which can form a starting point for reflection.
Know thy self entangled in the world of appearance is what causes many people to convince themselves that it is difficult to know self. That is because of the fact self never rises above the senses, so accustomed to consider nothing except self any other object is not to be understood at all.
Truth we can never be retained within the limits of ignorance.
There are two ruling principles here, one the intellectual world and the other the visible world. Come let us reason, and advance as much as possible. Happiness is knowledge and those who are ignorant will not know truth.

The absolute characteristic feature of animal nature is sensibility it holds together feelings, perception, reason, will and thinking. Our awaken state is a threefold process, first, the distinction between wakefulness from sleep, second, the faculty of perception and last, the alteration of heat.
The absolute characteristic feature of the animal nature is sensation a supreme wealth of being because in it everything is reduced to speculation
Truth is the fundamental basis of pure conscious self is imprinted not like painted representation but real Elemental chemical process where true being comes forth from subjectivity.
We are purely moments of form, perpetually negating independence and bringing self back into unity. This fully accomplished unity is consciousness, thought, feeling, and will a unitary finer than a point.
Animal nature is like sunlight ideally freed form gravity; spontaneously we determine our place. Also has a voice that displays a free vibration within self.
