A Philosophy of Mind

[Barbara Brooks]

Funny how things happen at first my chief aim carrying on here was for my own improvement, yet at the same time I never begrudged any benefit that they may be received here. I merely want to draw toward true philosophy.

The doubters will change their minds, if not in an aggressive spirit but gently removing their dislike of over-educated people. If I show them what education really in this new light, they will surely change their idea and who can be at enmity with one who loves, who that is gentle and free from envy not jealous of any one? Nay, in a few there are mean tempers but not in the majority. Those harsh feeling which are entertained towards philosophy originate from dishonest people who are always abusing philosophy finding fault with it, would rather make their theme subjective, nothing can be more inapt than this.

Come fix our minds upon true being and surely we will have no time to look upon the affairs of people; ever directed towards eterrity, all in order moving according to reason, these imitate and these as far as I can conform. Now can any person help imitate that with which they holds deep respect?

[Barbara Brooks]

Every animal natuee has a centre within that perceives and offers resistance to others. Thus feeling has consciousness, self-consciousness free impartial directly shuts out other over against it but in such a way that the connection between the two appears mutually opposition while they are the same instinctual process.

Instinct is an inner stimulus has a relation of the outside world carries out purpose. It is a practical relationship, an inner urge, like the migration of animals, or fishes. Sleep is another looks how one falls asleep without setting about doing so. We sleep out of instinct, just as we gather food out of instinct it is directed by reason.

[Barbara Brooks]

The mind has the power to act from within outward is that not amazing like a voice that can be wonderful in its utterance of feeling. Our voice is a spiritual mechanism. It is true metal sounds but they do not show a specific quality until they have been struck or some stimulation from outside; whereas voice announces our spiritual nature by vibrating inwardly causing the air within us vibrate.

Descartes' believed that being and thought are inherently the same, abstract pure thought or inner essence. Pure self-thinking that quivers within self is the simple motion of sun rotating on its own axis. And that philosophy must be dependent on principles derived from pure thinking that is requisite above all to try to establish certainty.

[Barbara Brooks]

I refuse to be led astray by mere opinions and I will hold on to my purpose until my philosophy until made actual; I go beyond myself to perform my purpose; no lamenting or remorseful feelings can stop me, all that sort of thing arises from pure opinions. I carry out my purpose. Even now as disregarded and hurt as I am in this forum, I write; I force myself to write my philosophy. That’s all I can do is my purpose in this world the highest of all gifts of humanity the element of reason.


Reason is the centrality passes out of opinion over above hypotheses into the intellectual world, is there nothing more insightful illuminating inner working and weaving in the mind. Thus, then pure ideal implicit thought is simply pure purpose.

Intellect entails thinking, pure speculative thinking about things just for the sake of knowledge. Speculative thinking has the power to elevate my mind to the highest principles of being.

[Barbara Brooks]

Philosophy demands profound thought. The philosopher must be lover not of part knowledge but whole knowledge and curious to learn never satisfied must be justly called philosopher.

The same of justice is not the disproportionate happiness of any one group but of the greatest happiness of the whole society; in a society, which is ordered with a view to good, citizens are most likely to find justice. Like hunters looking devotedly that justice does not slip away, and escape; here justice is beyond a doubt somewhere in our society. The search for justice is similar of a person who goes about looking far distances for what they have in their hands, look at what is far off in the distance therefore misses justice.

Knowledge presides over justice and at any time weakened we call unjust which presides over ignorance.

Justice is the excellence of the mind and virtue. I look at the city, which is within and pay attention that no disorder occurs such as overabundance or wanting. The just cannot be unjust any more than cold can produce heat. Justice there is nothing else more perfect more precious more than many pieces of gold. Why? Because justice imparts harmony and friendship.

In truth justice is the law of human life, the most complete mastery over the entire being.

So be patient under this distress is best, and that I should not give way to impatience, as there is no knowing whether such things are good or bad and nothing is gained by impatience.

[Barbara Brooks]

In love all is bound together. Through love ideas find their way.

Philosophers are generated out of opposition. In the fourteenth century, Copernicus was the first to show the sun as the mid part in the heavens. He could not show this theory while alive waited to give out his written theories at his deathbed. Pythagoreans thought of sun as the innermost point of the sphere. Aristotle thought that if the whole world were spherical it would be best for the sun to be at midpoint. Copernicus was the one who demonstrated sun is midpoint.
Johannes Kepler discovered the law of motion it took him twenty-seven years struggling all the way in life. Kepler’s laws are among the most beautiful, purest and least tangled laws without diversity, even to this day. What faith Kepler had exploring these laws complete faith that reason must be in the heavens.

All philosophers are all drawn toward philosophy absorbed in the pleasures of knowledge we cannot help striving after the noblest pursuit of all.

[Barbara Brooks]

Love a desire has two guiding principles one is pleasure the other is principle These two are sometimes in harmony and then again at war and at times one conquers the other.

These two ruling powers, one is set over the intellectual world, and the other set over in the visible world. Clearly, you will find that the visible is the sphere of the perception consists of images shadows and reflections. What is great and what is small arises from the distinction of the visible and the intelligible sphere.

To declare the truth of things to wise people who love truth I most need to be sure of my footing and pray not be wrong, and be a deceiver about principles Socrates believed that when a person is out of depth whether fallen into a little swimming pool or in mid-ocean has to try to reach the shore.

A faulty guiding principle is most serious; it makes it impossible by know and not know the face of a friend and of an enemy.

[Barbara Brooks]

I am fascinated with true being have no time to look down upon the affairs other, or be filled with their malice and envy contended against me. My mind is ever directed towards things eternal, which I see neither injuring nor injured by one another, but moving all in order according to reason; these I imitate and these I will, as far as I can, conform myself to. Can anyone help imitating that with which is held reverential converse?

There are those who see no profit in what I saw and fall into verbal opposition in the spirit of argument not conversation but opposition.


The art of reason entails thinking about things just for the sake of understanding. This is called pure speculative thinking, which has power of elevating mind to the highest principles of existence.

Reason as the centrality of any opposition, passes out of mere opinion goes over above hypotheses into the intellectual sphere, pure implicit ideal thought.

[Barbara Brooks]

My intention is to connect politics with philosophy and show new as well as old thoughts not of one age only but of all.

This is knowledge that exists in every mind. The power and capacity of knowing is nothing less than the reawakened mind spirit.

God mingles through language the mediator who spans the chasm that divides them and therefore in love all is bound together. Through love arts, sacrifices and mysteries and charms, and all, prophecy and incantation find their way.

Truth lies not in one-sided opinion or clever allusive phrases, rather summons knowledge that has a power of drawing mind to truth, all that is present bears truth. In other words, truth is the light and good and eternal being.

I embrace nothing less than this entire system of virtuous thought in order to grasp because truth is not mediated by anything but.

[Barbara Brooks]

The pleasantnesss of knowledge there can be nothing so remote we cannot reason is in a philosopher’s breast.. A philosophical mind always loves knowledge of a sort, which is not varying everlasting from generation to generation..

Reason is ultimate absolute truth assures us that what we do is true. All that feeling seeing, hearing or any of the other senses cannot ever assure anything if knowledge does not intervene.

Knowledge and truth unity is properly called reason. Knowledge must be there when we perceive something, either by the help of sight or hearing, or any other sense.

[Barbara Brooks]

The whole truth is set forth as consciousness becomes identified with this very stage proper of mind.

It is very difficult to demonstrate absolute in reference to visible things or to consider the question only in reference to objects of thought, to what may be called ideas.
I say truth ought to proceed according to rules of art. Take for example art of the writer they have the art of enchanting the soul, must have to learn the differences of people-there are so many people and of such a natures, and from them come the differences between each.

The writer must have a good theoretical reasoning first and then must have experience, not till then, is orator perfect in the art of speaking or writing. I myself am a great lover of this process of division and generalization; they help me to speak and to think. All the great arts require discussions of high speculation; hence come loftiness of thought The person who knows will always know best how to discover the resemblances of the truth.

[Barbara Brooks]

The art of enchanting the mind but so many minds to please and of such characters and from writing comes the differences between each person. Loftiness of thought all great discussion requires high speculation and those who know will always know best how to discover it. My philosophy entails thinking about things for the sake of knowledge this is called thinking, it has power of elevating mind to the highest principles in being. speculative thinking passes out of mere opinion goes over above hypotheses into the intellectual sphere, is pure implicit ideal thought.

[Barbara Brooks]

Philosophy has the appearance of being esoteric thus seen as an oddity but today evenas strange will someday emerge into light. The best natures must be trained in pilosophy and must not give up the traverse.

Vainess flees from truth is ignorance indolence and sentimentalism it suffers
at the hands of truth.

When philosophy, political greatness, and wisdom unit in one cities will have rest from tribulations.

In the first place philosophy demands not superficial rhetoric but profound eternal thinking that exalts truth, justice, courage, and good Philosophy is not part wisdom it is whole tasted knowledge is curious to learn and never satisfied may be justly called a philosopher.

Today few study philosophy thus the study turns into some peculiarity called wisdom to be compared to those who study the irritability of a wild beast learns how to control the beast, and know the meaning of its several shouts, knows what soothes or infuriates They call this knowledge, and even edify these desires and disposition of the wild beast. That is a sophiswho calls good to be that which the wild beast takes pleasure in and evil to be that which the wild beast has an aversion.

[Barbara Brooks]

If philosophy were given more dignity students would want to come, and with earnest continue the search for truth and awaken mind spirit, which has fallen into such disunity.

A spiritual life requires giving up individuality to find self-consciousness. This may sound supernatural to some but for me it’s a matter of belief. The philosopher can see their way through all events, as well as others As long as they always follow as the proverb says the principle that friends have all things in common.

To carry out good has to be brought under the discipline and control of innate good,

Good is self-consciousness, upsets the established regular order of the world, and overtakes self that is under the influence of conceit, consists solely in the surrender of the entire individual no longer needed. The self surrenders its individuality to the course of good. That is virtue when the entire personality has superseded cancelled individuality to the idea of good.

Only good do we become useful and advantageous. The highest virtue is good everyone pursues it and makes it their end of all action will shine with radiant knowledge. This is nothing short of the most finished picture. Good is the highest realism worthy of attaining.

[Barbara Brooks]

The true philosopher always strives to become more knowledgeable will not rest in mere opinion. Instead, will take the arduous path and not be derailed in search nor will not abate for this is the philosophers nature.

Only by labor can profound thought be won, this is equivalent to a long course of mental discipline not institution kind of higher education where reason is flawed by idleness, and self-conceit.
Philosophy moves along the highway of truth as an inspiration of profound and creative knowledge that can only be won by labor.
