A Philosophy of Mind

[Barbara Brooks]

Through thought comes truth and kindness or in other words, comes self-assurance. Truth makes obvious our bare and simple reason.

Self is the ego, the pure inner essence of being, but reason lies with idealism, destiny and imaginary. Reason's very principle idealism falls into a contradiction with self.

Knowledge is the highest of all gifts of humanity. All arts, sciences and all intelligences are elements of knowledge. A society well educated will grow to become good citizens improve more and more when knowledge takes root. It has power to draw mind from becoming to being.

Come rise out of the sea of change and lay hold not as amateurs but of knowledge seen with mind only. That lights up chaos. There are two ruling principles of knowledge, the intellectual world and the visible world.

Knowledge is the ultimate absolute truth, something thoroughly familiar, certainty, and purpose.

[Barbara Brooks]

Grasp the whole truth and you will have no difficulty in understanding the preceding remarks. If knowledge does not intervene, mind can never be assured of anything.

Seeing or of hearing does not give assurance of the truth. Images of things that dwell in the mind contain within only a fabric of the nerves and muscles of body necessary in the mind to cause wakefulness, sleep and dreams; light, sounds, smells, tastes, heat. In addition, all other various ideas pertaining to being are imprinted on it by the intervention of senses.

Knowledge in the very fact comes on the scene and liberates the pathway of mind pressing forward to truth and spiritual self-consciousness. The principle of knowledge is wholly directed toward truth, and cares less for gain or fame.


The fact knowledge comes on the scene is a phenomenon, the pathway of the natural consciousness that is pressing forward to truth. It agitates thoughtless mind and its restlessness disturbs the indolence mind, which suffers violence at its hands of knowing truth. Fear is conceal behind the pretext that knowing truth is so difficult, nay impossible, to find, when self is so much cleverer than any knowledge.

This sort of arrogance which only understands how to belittle every truth and turn away back to self importance, rejoice over this which always knows how to dissipate every possible thought, and find, instead not knowledge but merely the barren mind. This contentment must be left to mind for it flees the universal and seeks only an isolated existence on its own account.

Knowledge is a phenomenon or rather the ruin and overthrow of mind; therefore, the road can be looked on as the path of uncertainty, or more properly the highway of anguish. For what happens knowledge, does not to deliver itself over to the thoughts of self and others, but examines everything for the sake of truth.

[Barbara Brooks]

"Know Thy self” know truth. Genuine inner self is where lays truth. Then truth falls into a contradiction a twofold, which consists of reason.

Know thy self though it is utterly impossible to have the satisfaction of finding the entire truth. Only through a mirror image comes truth. What is truth but objective reality, in other words, the assurance of being?

[Barbara Brooks]

Socrates believed when a philosopher, a diplomat and knowledge meet into one, humankind can rest from troubles. Philosophy demands not superficial consideration but profound eternal truth, justice, courage, and temperance. In addition they are not part time lovers but always sorting out knowledge is justly termed the philosopher, one who is curious to learn and is never satisfied.

[Barbara Brooks]

Learning is a natural inherent impulse to every other kind of knowledge; and even the not so quick and has arithmetical training become much quicker than they would otherwise have not been.

Conviction, belief, embarks on truth. What is truth but objective reality, an assurance of being is bare and simple truth.

Conviction, has no support cannot stand-alone because belief has no truth is just simply belief.

Hegel calls belief a bondage “thing hood”, as a chain from which self cannot get away from. “Thing hood” Hegel called the transparent universal element within self.
But it is belief is that unbroken sense of security that fulfilment within self. This is self-hood the established routine of human motion.

This is a law known to everybody, always familiar and recognized by everyone a routine and a predictable certainty of self as single individuality spirit, a force exerted.

The ethical law the absolute being or in other words self-work for universal ends; in an ethical world, we see set before us purpose, of the previous manners of conscious life. What we apprehend is real universal conscious spirit, linked together with divine law; here spirit comes to actuality, and rises the state out of unkindness into the conscious universal spirit for the whole divine and human law.

This was so with the Ionic ages; philosophy came about when there was a decline in the Ionic states of Asia Minor. Philosophy expanded in the decline of Rome and in the Middle Ages when the Teutonic life gained a new form.

Reconciliation follows destruction. Like all spirits between the divine and the mortal the mediator who spans the chasm bound together. Like the sun mingles through a real active agent that kindles the process of the Elements, The sun does not merely illuminating darkness but arouses and governs an atmospheric process and sea and fire generates it, and each Element is independent as a free subject.

[Barbara Brooks]

What makes purpose (reason) complete is conviction, without it because purpose is it cannot be complete remains simply ideal thought which has no support cannot stand alone because ideas are merely ideality; cannot bring purpose into being. Purpose alone can turn a negative into a positive.

[Barbara Brooks]

The founder of Philosophy, Thales, is author of the Ionic sect born according to the best calculation in the first year of the 35th Olympiad 640 B.C., thought the universe was all embracing whole developed germ and that water the all powerful sustainer of life. In those times, scholars had already considered the sun, mountains, earth, sea, rivers as independent powers to be revered as gods, but Thales, thought God is water. There is even a science called Thalassography, a physical geography that treats the sea, the word Thalassocracy means mastery of the sea.


Reason is nothing else than pure ideality, a mere implicit thought within self.

[Barbara Brooks]

In knowledge is the eye of the mind rise to the universal light, lightens all things, and beholds absolute good, not as a heroic performer whose chief pursuit is to act, but simply as a matter of beholding the light of day.

Pythagoras was a rare philosophical genius who could predict things. When he landed in the Bay of Tarentum, at Crotona in Italy around 530 B.C on his way to town come across some fishermen who had caught none fish all day were leaving to go home. Pythagoras called upon them to draw the nets one more time and predicted the number of fish they would catch this time.

The fishermen guffawed in disbelief at his prophecy said if his prophecy were right they promised to be his followers forever and do whatever Pythagoras wanted them to do.

The prophecy came true. Pythagoras told the fishermen first in order to followers throw the fish they caught back into the sea because Pythagorean eats no flesh.


The world of knowledge is the power upon which to act rationally, either in public or private life. Socrates is considered the wisest of all people from his youth upward are courageous, temperate, holy, free, and the like. All these virtues became his second Nature like a breeze from a purer world, drawing into likeness and sympathy with reason.

When I was thirty years old, I began studying philosophy, being drawn off into another brook, directed towards things all in order moving towards purpose.

Through some inherent reason, I had my eyes opened and little by little, I learned philosophy. Reason lies in conquering. When an entire self has succeeded in canceling self to do, good in the world is reason.
Pythagoras from his youth upward was courageous, temperate, holy, free, and the like. All were second Nature. He was gifted breeze from a purer world, drawing a likeness and sympathy to reason.


Virtue is the course of spiritual life that requires giving up individuality. Reason that is deeper than self, finds expression in others. Self requires only self-certainty, whereas reason a certain awareness of one and other must be realized.

[Barbara Brooks]

Each moment already presupposes the others; in order to act one must have reason beforehand. Reason straight away of whatever the circumstances proceed to action once again without troubling about starting again, or having means, and ends, Talent is likewise, nothing but self with a definite subjective internal reason brought into actualization. Our determinate inner character realized.
Reason is through study and understanding what is essential and what is unessential simply by transferring from a state not expressed to one fully expressed. The inherent dragging our feet is opposed to reason and can sink purpose to the level of mere empty meaning.


The faculty of reason is skillfully disposed in mind with a view to render things clear and intelligible that broadcast, declares and proclaims the unchangeable character, aware relates to the extremity of each being.


Reason the absolute end of anything without it we cannot what we are beholding, may have seen before but for a short time, or have lost the memory, which once was. Knowledge is termed recollection because it recalls things to mind in memory or through the sight or touch, or of some other senses.

[Barbara Brooks]

The claims I make are not new ideas, because nothing is new under the sun I write for the philosopher who follows the old maxim “Friends have all things in common.”

Philosophy a hard won treasure it must be earned. The problem is no one wants to put their energy into learning, even now as disregarded philosophy forces its way by natural appeal, and someday very likely it will emerge back into light.

With proper nurture, the philosophy grows like a flower and matures. Those who are curious to learn and never satisfied may be justly called philosophy. Like any other knowledge, philosophy must be taught. First chase out ignorance and all those matters of opinion drive out and filled the mind is with thought, which is not so far from bliss of happiness.

[Barbara Brooks]

There are a gallery of noble philosophers through out history. Thales a person of rare genius was the author of the Ionic sect is the founder of philosophy according to the best calculation he was born in the first year of the 35th Olympiad 640 B.C.

Philosophy made its appearance with Thales and Pythagoras 600 B.C; the spirit of Greece had apathy and insensitiveness worked out. They were profound thinkers exalted in knowledge and truth, justice, courage, and temperance. Thales was one of the seven wise men of ancient Greek philosophy and introduced geometry to measure the pyramids and the distance from shore of ships at sea. It is believed he used calculus to estimate the sea; Water Thales thought the supreme sustainer of life.

The same as there are generations of plants there are generation of philosophers and anything that is generated for a certain time is a gift of spiritual life, a virtuous consciousness and each generation plays the role of carrying out their talent.

[Barbara Brooks]

Corruption is unavoidable; a society is as good as the people. Come follow the beaten path by the great philosophers, imitate them

Look back to the epoch of 600 B.C. The custodians of philosophy were dedicated wholly to the upholding of truth; a just and good people we should want to copy and not be ashamed of this sort of person who acts wisely and leads a life of fairness.

Enlightenment the unconscious inner working and weaving is reason is nothing else than pure consciousness of self inner reality of self; without knowledge mere implicit self.

Reason can’t be felt, seen nor tasted; it is simply pure self-conscious is simply ideality. Belief Hegel believed is the egoism of self-consciousness, which makes purpose complete. Preference

World spirit has been advanced before; had power set over the intellectual world and the visible world. The gift of knowledge liberates mind spirit to carry out reason.

[Barbara Brooks]

What is the reason sunlight relates to earth? Why do sunflowers and the many other flowers that follow sunlight and actually turn toward the sunlight? In the early morning enter a meadow of sunflowers from the east no flowers are seen, not until the sunshines on them do the flowers turn towards the east.
In the mind is a view to render reason clear and intelligible. Knowledge the eye of the mind rose to the universal light, which lightens all things, and behold absolute good.

[Barbara Brooks]

Come noble thinkers rise out of the state of oblivion into the spirit of philosophy not shallow speech making but truth, justice, courage, and temperance. The process is twofold, self-surrendering, and labor. In order in attaining and finding satisfaction in anything, labor must enter without reservation.

Reason is also called purpose; it is the middle or mediating term in contrast to self. But, reason dominates the action of self. Wherever there are extremes, there is reason the middle term. Reason must not be taken as if it were an act of service but universal being with feeling and reverent devotion to other.
