A Philosophy of Mind

[Barbara Brooks]

Satyr,

You must be having one of those, as you say, “ congruence of energies (flow) controlled by a preexisting code (genes, nature), consciousness despite being a product of this process is also codified experiences (memes, nurture) which may often produce antagonistic drives.”

I find your words disgusting and cowardly. You need to apologize to me man. There is no reason to call me names like that. I am due more respect here You need to apologize. I have never bothered you. There is no need to call me names. What have I done to you?

The funny thing is, she would most likely mop the floor with you in debate.

Is that an expression of hope?
The sad dreams of a resentful moron finding a chance in some imagined hero.

Satyr,

It's too bad that you can read, but not understand.

I find your words disgusting and cowardly.

why would i expect anything else?

You need to apologize to me man.

Really, bitch?

What else do I "need" to do, based on some rule i didn't sing-up for?
I know...do I also need to pretend to consider you intelligent?

There is no reason to call me names like that. I am due more respect here You need to apologize.

Upon what grounds are you 'due' anything?
Is it because you are alive, or that you are a "ignoramus' and so a eviction of naivete?

I have never bothered you.

Stop crying. The world doesn't care.

The victims of 9/11 never bothered anyone directly, but they were participants in a system that exploited those that eventually killed them.

There is no need to call me names. What have I done to you?

You exist. I can't have that.

PS
“Live Lightly Know Thyself’

I wonder if you really understand what that means.

n*****, are you following me around?
Your opinion means jack-shit, given the mind your words expose.

Maybe finding a hero is your only option, as well.

Satyr,

You're boorish, uncivilized, never using the weapon of persuasion. Your like a wild animal, all violence and fierceness. You don't seem to know any other way of dealing or have any sense of propriety and grace, just abuse and finding fault.

You argue for amusement, always contradicting and refuting others, you’re like a puppy-dog, pulling and tearing at all who come near and you rejoice.

Maybe when you get older you will no longer be guilty of such extremism and seek truth, and not be always contradicting for the sake of amusement.

Under the guidance and in the company of knowledge pursue after wisdom, because your character will increase, that is inasmuch as you follow truth. When your whole mind follows philosophy there is no division, you will enjoy the best and truest pleasures of which are capable.

All that meanness in you will empty out knowing that all one can do in this world is be good and this is the highest of all gifts of humanity.

How dare you mum?!!!

What part of Satyr do you not get?

You argue for amusement, always contradicting and refuting others, you’re like a puppy-dog, pulling and tearing at all who come near and you rejoice.

I agree plenty of times, and I do not post, for what use does agreement have except a psychological one?

Maybe when you get older you will no longer be guilty of such extremism and seek truth, and not be always contradicting for the sake of amusement.

No, I contradict stupidity, at every opportunity, and i attack human folly.

It's a hobby.

Wow!!!

How do I learn to tolerate stupidity because philosophy is making me more intolerant with it?

All that meanness in you will empty out knowing that all one can do in this world is be good and this is the highest of all gifts of humanity.

Ha...and the cherry on the top. The do-godder, the humanitarian, the soft soul, the deep well...shit fool do you not know me?

Silenus is my king, and humanity is what I want to overcome.

You sit there hugging yourself, through others, afraid, telling yourself you are unselfish and your motives good; immerse yourself in the relieving pools of humanity and lose yourself in its madness.

I have no use for you...

Words depend on the temper of the mind, happiness depends upon temper, the better elements of the mind also leads to order and reason when good has bad under control this is called temperance rule, the agreement of the good and bad.

Good and bad naturally assimilate to manners. The same as rhythm and harmony of musical training, imparts grace, and makes the mind rightly educated, noble and good.

Everyday I am eager to make good known to make grace and harmony a continuous conviction in life. The beautiful mind harmonize will be the fairest of sights.

The temperance of the mind is in reaction to an environment.

When surrounded by filth one cannot remain unsoiled and when facing an animal logic is what a fool would use.

Good and bad naturally assimilate to manners. The same as rhythm and harmony of musical training, imparts grace, and makes the mind rightly educated, noble and good.

Beasts cannot appreciate music and so it is left for those that can.

I am no martyr, but you can rpetend that you are.

Everyday I am eager to make good known to make grace and harmony a continuous conviction in life. The beautiful mind harmonize will be the fairest of sights.

No good, no bad...these are labels of preference.

What you need is the farce of civility to rpetend that you are civilized.

That you choose to face what disturbs you by running to the authorities, speaks more eloquently about yuor quality.

You walk around with whiter gloves and pretty words to pretend you are not like the garbage you espouse with your 'goodness' towards it.

What?

Barbara,
Do not bother yourself. Satyr is making an assumption that is incorrect.

Satyr,

I have no desire to seem to be dealing in some secret corner complaining about you or to be filled with malice and envy against you or anyone. My mind is ever directed towards ideas, which are neither injuring nor resentful against other. I am merely directed towards truth all in order moving according to reason these I imitate as far as I can.

Cowardly and mean ways have no part in true philosophy
These harsh feeling you have the many entertain towards philosophy originate from the pretenders, who rush in always abusing philosophy, and finding fault with it.


Turn back to the time that took place thousands of years ago philosophy when it was really love of knowledge and view it in a new light its specific contributions to the field of science and intellectual world.

Everyone is ruled by divine wisdom dwelling within them; or, if this be impossible, then by an external influence, in order that people may be all, as far as possible, under the same government, friends and equals.

What was taught me as chance has arranged I borrowed all that is best in knowledge I listed everything, if not perfectly, at least as well as is in my mind.

I did not intend to try mastering all this thinking gradually I accustomed myself to conceive more and more accurately and distinctly this knowledge plus I could not find anything more exciting then studying philosophy.

What I was educated was already in my consciousness as chance had arranged it. I required to consider each classification of philosophy. and In order to keep them in my memory or several, at once I wrote each down.

Thanks to the forum, I am well assured of my accuracy as of my own existence. I studied the best and I examined and reexamined, sifted and compared until an inward voice proclaimed to me no possibility of doubt.

Self-control has more to do with harmony and art than courage. It is the controlling of needs and desires in the mind; there is a good rule and also a bad rule; when the better has the worse under control, then are said to be master of self. But master is also slave and slave master.

Certainty of self constitutes the fundamental pure consciousness of self-being self and when complete reveal a perfect and complete temperament,
educated by time, acquiring knowledge of both virtue and vice. The philosopher having turned round mind passing from a day, which was little better than night to the true day of being, is an ascent.


“The warp and the woof, which run through the whole texture.” Hegel uses this image as perfect, Socrates believed that a perfect society is only when society offers this will there be a truly riches, not in money, but in virtue and wisdom, which are the true blessings of life.


My chief aim in carry on an argument is not to fall into verbal antagonism but in the spirit of dialogue. That entails thinking about things just for the sake of knowledge called pure speculative thought that which has the power of elevating mind to the highest principles of being.

Time a circle of the unity now, before and after. Zeno of Elea showed the world that nothing motion is only change place.

We are subject to change. Anything that endures in time, such as the sun, the Elements, mountains, the pyramids etc, etc, has a higher value. If everything stood, still even our imagination we would endure but all things are temporal and subject to change. Time does not rest; the only standpoint distinct from the other moments is now, it will not come to be, nor was it, but it is.

[Barbara Brooks]

Everything is reduced to time. The past is our starting point, the present is dissolves flows away passes over into another moment, and the future is pregnant with past and present. Space and time is our ground and truth.
Two coinciding in a single place is similar to time’s circle of unity past present and future are one, yet at the same moment they are one at the same time they are not.

Motion is a change of place, past present and future Zeno of Elea showed the world nothing moves that motion only a change of three places; that which is about to be occupied, that which has just been vacated and throughout all these changes present remains.

Zeno used an arrow to demonstrate that nothing moves he shoots an arrow in the air to demonstrate the arrow does not change its place that which is about to be occupied, that which has just been vacated and throughout all these changes remains the same through all the changes the arrow is merely in motion. . Now, before and after a circle of the unity, we proceed to a place, which is our future, and leave one that is our past, yet are in present time.

Zeno of Elea thought those who see the many and not one follow no guide have only opinion not knowledge. However, those who see one may be said to have knowledge not mere opinion. The very hypothesis of Zeno's paradoxes on like and unlikeness; and motion and matter, generation and destruction, and of being and not-being are very interesting arguments.

When I finished reading “Hegel’s Phenomenology of Mind,” in 1983 I had this desire to write philosophy. I promised myself the next book that came to me of Hegel's I would give writing a try.

In the first place philosophy few schools teach it and this is understandably they are difficult but leads to a lack of the pursuit especially without a teacher. Also as matters stand today students see no profit knowing but even though as disregarded still by natural charm Hegel emerges into light.

The next book was “Hegel’s Philosophy of Nature,” translated by A.V. Miller. I began writing on yellow legal pads eventually graduated to a computer, it took years to accustom myself to conceive more accurately and distinctly but I could not find a better method 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 thought that this was really strange to say that I understood.
