A Philosophy of Mind

[Barbara Brooks]

A tyrant believes justice is the interest of then powerful and that doing wrong is more profitable to them and stronger than just.

Even though justice is wrapped up in a mysterious form it has real meaning. Justice is excellence of mind Look at the city, which is within, and pay attention that no disorder occurs such as overabundance or want.

Justice imparts harmony and friendship, whereas injustice it clearly creates division, hatred and fighting mot . Justice it is more precious than many pieces of gold; its perfection there is nothing else, it takes means to an end; and does not aim at excess.


No person just can be unjust any more than heat can produce cold. Justice is a thing more precious than pieces of gold it is perfection there is nothing else.

Justice clearly is the wiser and better and virtue, whereas injustice creates division and hate and fighting

Justice remains in a society when all the other virtues which have disappeared Justice, remains like through all the notes of the scale, and produces harmony in its original form, and does the utmost to maintain intact.

To be patient under suffering is best and that not give way to impatience, as there is no knowing whether such things are good or evil; nothing is gained by impatience; also, b no thing is of serious importance only a part of he whole , our grief stands in the way of that which at this moment most required.

[Barbara Brooks]

Some people would like to flush away justice with out an ounce of shame. Here demonstrates four virtues, knowledge, courage, temperance and justice. How the only virtue that remains in society after the other virtues disappear, temperance, courage and wisdom are gone justice stays. Even as beaten and trampled upon by the waves of society justice is even though it can hardly be distinguished looking like some ogre.

Justice has no visible path has little light therefore we go about seeking it when it is right in front of us not far off in a distance .

[Barbara Brooks]

Philosophy I was driven to it the same as lilies, willows, fig trees have their own particular bug or insect whose nature is restricted to each plant.

Free existence thus we create a world , knowledge is needed before seeing, hearing the mind summons knowledge? In understanding something in a particular way knowledge must be there and it best when sounds, sights, feelings quit they only hinder truth.

[Barbara Brooks]

Free being can create a world through knowledge before seeing, hearing the mind summons knowledge? In understanding something in a particular way knowledge must be there and it best when sounds, sights, feelings quit they only hinder truth.

my only saving power is courage under all the circumstances befallen me. If not for courage that mightier than any sorrow, or fear, the mightiest of all other solvents I would have not have persuaded to be a philosopher. I would have lost sight of my purpose with all the incriminations poured upon me. I had to watch over like a good gardener philosophy, nurture and cultivate its gentle qualities.

[Barbara Brooks]

The true artist does not regard art as its solitary happiness but always the pleasure of the people and therefore an artist must be compensated in one of three ways, by money, by honor, or by duty in order to induce the artist to work.

Socrates determined there should be no friendship among the unpleasant people and equal happiness of the whole society. Like happy friends in this pilgrimage, lives in light always the spectator of all time harmonious, just, and gentle, even in youth lodges in the heart.

Happiness depends upon temperance, the elements that lead to order and reason a free virtuous element of happiness. Now is there any greater blessing than friendship and pleasure?

[Barbara Brooks]

Purpose means the ruin and overthrow of self; thus the road can be looked upon as the path of or more properly the highway of anguish. Reason rest upon conviction and conceit; on the other hand, a pathway is intention, the actual carrying out a process of expansion. To follow ones conviction is certainly more than to hand self over to the mere opinion of others for they straight away criticize and hamper purpose, as a matter of fact become powerless of what it wanted to undertake.

[Barbara Brooks]

A philosopher is harmoniously constituted; just, and gentle even in youth. Their happiness depends upon self-control; if the better elements of the mind lead to order and reason, is there any greater blessing?

The principle of happiness is doing my work in the best way in a noblest order, and receives a proportion of happiness which nature assigns to me.

If people would have an equal portion of happiness society would grow up into well-conducted virtuous citizens, this is justice. People must put to use what nature intended of them and then they all would do their own thing and so too society would be one and not many.

To be what they are not is unreal, turns the society upside down; therefore people must be compelled or encouraged to do our own thing in the best way. Then the whole society will grow into a noble order, and all would receive the proportion of happiness which nature assigns them.

[Barbara Brooks]

Descartes believed that love above all established reason, and that love is between the divine and the human world where mysteries and prayer find their way.

Ernest Hemingway believed that love of writing came from things that had happened and from things as they exist and from all things that you know. All those you cannot know, you make something through your creativity that is not a representation but a whole new thing truer than anything true and alive, and if you make it well enough, you give it eternal life. That is why he wrote for no other reason.

[Barbara Brooks]

Knowledge is wholly directed toward truth does care for gain or fame but of wisdom, insight, and understanding.
The trouble is truth vanishes in the course of the event. Then truth is mere sense-certainty and perception, a mere certainty.

Know thyself look in your character and know what is truth. The homeland of truth is good. In early times good had a certain and determinate significance then when reason had a solid base and good.

“As Minerva fully armed springs forth from the head of Jupiter the mind alone is capable of assuring that what I see is good is merely an unconscious observer it perceives nothing more than thinking of what is present.”

[Barbara Brooks]

Societies today seem to be infected by some sensuous phenomenon, in such a way their morals, laws and beliefs, rights, and viewpoints are meandering literally in a quagmire where ideas are tossed about in some region halfway between truth and not truth.

What is truth but my objective reality the mere certainty of self or in other words because truth is merely the bare reason of being?

Philosophy a peculiar mode of thinking, a style in which thinking becomes knowledge, and knowledge through ideas. A thought-induced phenomenon of consciousness does not originally appear in the form of a thought, but as a feeling, a perception, or mental image all of which aspects must be distinguished in the form of thought proper.

Someday philosophy its gentle hand will come and society will lift it up to the sciences. This will happen when the spirit of society has worked its way out of apathy and heartlessness, that is when philosophy will make its appearance.

[Barbara Brooks]

I love philosophy but I cannot explain the reason why, it appears I am caught up in some sort of infectious blind friendship that is beholding me, it is here I cease from pain, and when away from it, I long for its friendship again.

Love has two guiding principles one is pleasure the other is belief. They are sometimes in harmony and again sometimes at war, one conquers the other.

These two ruling powers set over in the intellectual world, and the visible world. Clearly, you will find that the visible world is the sphere of perception, of images, shadows, and reflections.

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

Philosophy is my dearest friend; can anyone present any greater blessing than that? A magnificent observer of all time and all existence, which is surely just and gentle, and good is philosophy neither injuring nor injured by one another, but moving all in order according to reason.

[Barbara Brooks]

The virtue of temperance is not courage or wisdom, the one valiant and the other wise. Not so temperance that extends and runs through all the notes of the scale, and produces a harmony in original form does the utmost to maintain harmony intact.

When modes of music change, also the fundamental laws of the Society always change with them. Music we gain the habit of good order, then with this habit of good order will accompany them in all their actions and be a principle of growth to them, and if there be any fallen places in the society will raise them up again in which education starts.

Every person should be put to the use, for which nature intended him or her, then every person would do his or her own business, and the society be one and not many; and so the whole city would be one and not many.

If well educated we grow into sensible people and will easily see our way through all events, as well as matters such as marriage, equal rights and child bearing which Socrates believed would always follow as the proverb says he principle that friends have all things in common.

The requisite above all is to try establishing truth. And consider that since the endeavor is important, we should try not to tackle it by pulling from our mind wrong opinions. Instead, place the proper development of truth back together again, remove truth from mere opinion, and go beyond the visible world.

[Barbara Brooks]

All thoughts dwell in the mind are established stamped by the intervention of our senses.


Feeling is the supreme wealth of being it can show outwardly feelings. For instance the general senses of the skin: or taste as the muscle of the tongue, which connects itself to the mouth, all this is feeling. The noise organ smell is connected with the principle of air and breathing. Voice is pure self-affirming itself as universal, expressing pain, desire, joy, contentment, every animal suffering has a voice and declares feelings.
Our inner stimulus is carried out by entirely specific feeling, sleep to rest the body and wake to gather food and build shelter is as far as animals are determined a practical relationship.

Waking and sleeping, the migration of animals; of fishes to other seas is a sharing in the like of nature. This is why we feel, the sentient creature contain a relationship with the outside and this excites feelings. The mechanical sphere of feeling is the faculty of perception two fold; the principle of sight and images

Feeling is a state of tension shuts out the outside world which is over against us, they (we and the world) appears mutually opposed yet at the same time incorporated, and instinctual. Self-feeling simply offer is resistance to the outside world.


All things that we clearly perceive know that perfection is most clear and most distinct in all the ideas in the mind. A remarkable the mind it feels, perceives, reasons, wills and thinks; individual moments in totality, consciousness, self-consciousness, reason, and spirit, all at the same time, together constituting a moving process of mind which is fine as a point like the sun it moves in place, or from one place to another in a circle rest upon a center.
God, mingles through mind not people therefore in mind all is bound together. Through mind arts, t sacrifices, insight, and prayer find their way.

[Barbara Brooks]

As Socrates believed, disciples of philosophy, the guardians and watchdogs of philosophy, will be but a small remnant. My own case is worthy of mentioning, for rarely, if ever, has such a monitor been given to a person.

There is laid out he believed a blueprint of philosophy in heaven for those who desire to behold, and beholding it sets their mind in order. But whether such a one exists on earth, or ever will exist in fact is no matter; for I will live after the manner, having nothing to do with any other.

[Barbara Brooks]

Properties, and relationships of points, lines, angles, curves, surface and solids compels mind to turn and fix your eyes on to that place where the full perfection of being and which we ought to behold.

Not in a narrow manner of squaring and extending and applying but Geometry that aims at the eternal mind that does not perish or is transient.

Contradictions are always there is nothing that assures truth we can only see through a glass darkly. It is the same of justice and temperance or any other high idealities that lights up the chaos.

Reason the greatest good ascends and sufficiently viewstruth. There is a law of inner purpose and when unable to follow, we fail to behold truth, letting some, unfortunate circumstances sink us beneath the two-fold load of forgetfulness, and we go wrong.

Divine mind of every soul which is capable of receiving the provisions proper to it, rejoices beholding truth is replenished and made good,

Socrates believed there is a law of Destiny but when one is unable to follow, and fails to behold the truth, and through some ill-hap sinks beneath the double load of forgetfulness and error. The soul that has seen most of truth is a philosopher, or artist, or some musical and loving nature; that which has seen truth
