A Philosophy of Mind

[Barbara Brooks]

Purpose is when self comes forward asserts not just a certainty of self but goes beyond self to perform the most finished picture.

Come all ye noble thinkers exalt great ideas, think away negative viewpoints. The world of thinkers has been advanced before; knowledge is powerful. A natural gift knowledge is the instrument that comes on the scene and liberates self to carry out purpose purpose.
Lodged in the mind as a pilot is knowledge it is wholly directed toward truth cares little for gain or fame, it contains everything, which gives in all things certainty by means of exercising purpose.


Purpose belongs to a specific determination, brings to light, and establishes something good and eternal.

[Barbara Brooks]

if Philosophy were given the honor it deserves then students would want to learn, discoveries would be made if they had help would some day emerge into light.

No one encourages them because they are difficult to learn without a teacher and a teacher can hardly be found, but even as matters now stand the student today most would not attend to them.

In the world of knowledge good makes its appearance at a time when the spirit of citizens have worked their way out of lack of interest and be insensitive to world-spirit consciousness which stands in contrast to indifference. Reason, the mediating term, acts ethically and carries out good. The light of unity and truth is reason splits up into distinct elemental forms, human rule and divine rule is the form of certainty; where unconscious spirit comes to actuality and rises out into the conscious universal spirit.

Universal spirit is reason linked together with divine law, and explicit truth. Look at the decline of society a gulf has arisen and people are no longer satisfied . Thus here is belief it can’t be felt, seen nor tasted; it is simply undifferentiated, unified pure self-conscious ideal no inherent standpoint


The eyes see certainly both small and great, but they can not distinguish. Don’t be persuaded there is difficulty in knowing truth you’ll never raise above the senses, so accustomed to consider excepting mere images that do not give assurance of anything if knowledge does not intervene. Sought truth don’t be content with false reasoning. Come sift out all that is embraced in knowledge it gives so much pleasure.

[Barbara Brooks]

A philosopher ought always to follow the paths beaten by great thinkers and to imitate those who have been supreme thin kers. So if we never equal supreme, at least we will to be able to hit the mark.

Such deeper conceptions of philosophy reigned in earlier times but we cannot rest alone with them. Look back to the epoch of knowledge that took place years ago. If I begin again the same philosophy would only bring back an earlier stage of life. There are generation of philosophers the same as there are generations of plants and in anything that there is opposition generated out of opposition I mean to say opposites such as just and unjust, good and evil, and the innumerable other opposites that generated out of opposites.

[Barbara Brooks]

Logic and opinion are the two companions of knowledge also known as the intellectual and visible world. Logic is the art of reason pure intellect that entails thinking about things in for the sake of knowledge. Purely speculative thinking but it has the power of elevating the mind to the highest principles of existence.

Knowledge is also opinion and that means, pure assumption, which causes the direct opposite of logic. In all the wealth of nature is reduced by the all pervading power of opinion.

The only knowledge that does away with opinion is dialectical for it goes directly to the first principle of space and time. Is space on its own account or is it a property of time? If it is said that space is one on its own account then it must be like a box and even when empty maintains one particular being. Therefore space is not a box not a property it is freely spreading offers no resistance whatsoever.

Boundless space can not be measured it is impossible because it has no relative point. For instance if you place your eyes at the heavenly night sky look how space goes beyond the stars and no matter how far away the stars are space goes beyond.

Kepler divided the celestial bodies into two motions, cometary, and lunary, an elliptic motion is cometary that is when the path is circular, and a circle can only be uniform. The pendulum motion is the lunary motion where particular bodies have their center not only in itself but also in another. Together cometary and lunary motion demonstrate planetary motion one movement by two determinations.

It took Kepler twenty seven years to write the law of motion. By using the celestial heaven as relativity he had complete faith that in the heavenly bodies purpose must be there, and through his faith arrived at the law of the heavenly sky they are the most beautiful purest and least tangled with diversity to be found.

The true astronomer has reverent feelings when looking at the movements of the stars. Know that God frames the heaven and the things in heaven in perfect manner. The starry heavens should be used as an outline a view to higher knowledge, the beauty of figures or pictures excellently wrought.

[Barbara Brooks]

Copernicus was not only an astronomy but he learned philosophy and also law and medicine. He believed earth was a moving planet and that the sun immovable is at the center of the universe. It was Johannes Kepler who discovered sun, moon and planet movement created the law of motion upon the observations of Tycho Brahe, the hypotheses of Nicolaus Copernicus and the philosophy of William Gilbert. The laws are among the most beautiful purest least tangled to be found. divides motion into three; sun, moon and planet movements. What faith he had, having complete faith that reason must be there in the heavens.

Motion is merely a transition of one into another, but each movement is separate; present is because the past and future are not is this continuous exclusive middle motion that our proclaims ground and truth. Zeno of Elea showed we occupy a place move to another but do not leave our place. The same as the arrow does not leave its place when shot in the air. Zeno proclaims motion is only a change of place nothing moves things only change place. This is the endless motion no thing moves only changes place in motion.

[Barbara Brooks]

I was accustomed to regard motion as matter but motion is free and matter is merely in motion proceeds to a place which is future and leaves one which is past, yet already at the place I am reaching which is present.


The the essential truth comes forward with the world over against it, the whole Godly likes relation between inner and outer like a crystal nucleus lets the molecules integrants attach themselves to the surface of the nucleus in a kind of successive array in which depends on series. These nucleus crystals are three-dimensional one that is expounded by Hauy a French mineralogist in his the law of crystallization.

Even through a microscope a seed can scarcely be seen but this seed , however, a seed is pregnant with all the qualities of the tree. In the seed is contained the whole tree, its trunk, branches, leaves, its color, odor, taste, etc. does not yet exist.

Self is simply too this abstract universal seed that which is common to all, for in everyone is self each self is most diverse with a wealth of ideas, drives, desires, inclinations, thoughts, etc. Crystallizing inner continuity through and through where everything is in its place is a silent activity sets forth without action, merely shapes and links together all the indifferent parts. the universe is an ordered and harmonious whole, Hauy believed, partly free and partly conditioned is the perfect cosmos.

Crystallization is the likeness to ego, The Hindus believed that if the self maintained purity, I equals I, self would pass into sunlight. But the ego is an empty uncertainty of self mere attitude or reflection.

Sunlight is unify all things in community of the sun no objection is in the way.

To explain sunlight I most need to be sure of my footing here and pray not be wrong, not be a deceiver about principles I so love but when a person is out of depth whether fallen into a little swimming pool of water or in mid-ocean has to try to reach the shore.

First, everything exists because of sunlight Parmenides demonstrated that nothing can turn into something for then nothing would be. Therefore it is difficult to demonstrate absolute in reference to things or to even consider the question only in reference to ideas.
To describe something and grasp the spirit and gather meaning you must leave it alone and adjust to it, Goethe believed,

[Barbara Brooks]

As seeds are stimulated from outside come into being so too we come into being. The process of seeds drawn out by light is the same of the fully accomplished self laboring into something is not only good but twofold, one, to succeed in attaining and two, labor the chain that keeps us in bondage from which we can not get away but, this labor we succeed attaining purpose.

Purpose depends on what we know. There are inevitable consequences linked with every action and we cannot foresee the future—but we must act. Purpose is the quality of the action at times goes to war as though purpose were two distinct objectives. One prevails over other and that is conflict, the struggle of division comprising purpose The intention the direct character of the action in its further content can reduced to a means to some further intention.

There is always some contradiction one is the reverse of other this draws mind to contemplate. Distinguishing makes mind test what is truth . Dragging our feet is inherent and opposed to purpose sinks to the level of mere empty want. If seeking to bring into reality our talent we must think away from self .

[Barbara Brooks]

Being for example stimulated from outside precious metals gold, silver, and platinum come into being when exposed to air and heat a chemical changes the precious metals shape changes from solid to molten state, but gold silver, platinum do not rust, or tarnish. Other metals such as lead which is called metalloids are attacked even by weak acids, or corroded by air.

Gold, silver and platinum if they are tarnished by acids can be restored to their original state. Therefore, what makes them precious is not simply continuity and solid specific weight. If I put some gold in contact with silver, copper, or zinc, or silver into contact with zinc and put a drop of water between them, we experience at once a change and one of considerable activity. ,This is life's force oxidation is what it is combined with it, what difference is added to it.

If the process is insulated from air or oxygen are inactive but in combination with air water develops between metals creates a real tension. The oxidation and hydrogenation of the metal consists in the affirming of the inner contradiction that arises from affirming each self or in other words metals are inert from each other but when third substance is required make metals have a considerable activity.

[Barbara Brooks]

The activity of oxygen and hydrogen combined with metal is called oxidation . if metals are insulted from air or oxygen gas metals are inactive. Water in combination with air develops a real tension between metals causing oxidation and hydrogenation. Metals when in contact with each other distinguish themselves from each other by a third substance.

This Galvani’s a husband and wife science team processed together and discovered galvanism; Volta, was the first to understand igalvinism but It was the Galvani who made a different use for it; Volta freed the phenomena from the organic stage..

in the course of experiments on frogs the Galvani's noticed what appeared to be an action between the nerve and the muscle when they exposed the nerves connected two different metals to its leg muscle, a convulsive movements occurred. The activity for example, reveals both taste and light if a soaped filled dish of water is touched with your tongue and ordinary water with hand, then with the closing of the circuit, the organ of taste is affected.

Another example, if a strip of tinfoil is placed under the tip of the tongue and on the lower lip so that it projects from it and at the upper surface of the tongue the tinfoil is touched with silver, then the moment the metals touch has a alkaline taste. If you hold in your wer hand, a tin saucer filled with lye and touch liquid with the tip of your tongue, you would get an acid taste. If a piece of zinc is put in one's mouth between the upper jaw and left cheek and a piece of silver between the lower right jaw and right cheek and the bits of metal stick out of the mouth and their ends are brought together, then one sees a sensation of light when the metals are connected.

[Barbara Brooks]

The process of galvanism reveals aeriform gaseous substance when water is the mediator between metals. Metals makes its being from water , on one hand oxidation and on the other hand, hydrogenation. Water principle character does not exist in water but in air.

Knowledge is discovering rightly be termed recollection. Those who know merely remember once it is observed it is known. Knowledge possesses enlightenment without it everything would be confused of what is good and what is not. Then being right or wrong is the phenomenon of knowledge, wisdom, insight, understanding, and observation. Knowledge embraces the entire system of consciousness or more so the virtue of consciousness.

As plants have a relationship to light, air, and water have in the sphere of being-for-self sensation. Look at a seed pregnant with all the qualities of the plant. In the seed contains the whole plant, its stalk, twigs, leaves, color, odor, and taste. In every mind is like a seed contains ideas, desires and thoughts is most good

Knowledge gives the seasons, and years, and names for all things; not opinion, not shadows, not disputing with tainted eyes, and making no good attempt to go beyond the opinions of shadows. The power and capacity of gaining knowledge and understanding exists in every mind already.

[Barbara Brooks]

Oxidation the process requires oxygen gas, water in combination with air and metals. The activity consists in the affirming of the inner contradiction that arises from the effort of affirming self in other. Metals are inert but when third substance is required make meals have a considerable activity.

Come rise out of the sea of change and lay hold of that which shows eternal nature not varying from generation and corruption. Nature is the most difficult to understand, for example light it is not present, does not show itself as real, is concealed, shows only connected bonds of necessity. Electricity is dispersedly manifested as follows; body A is charged with positive electricity. When two electric ties come into contact they form a tension, which is spontaneously self-determined. This light forces its way to become light, which breaks forth from within and flows into light outside. . If the electrified body is connected with water the tension ceases. If the body is of the same kind they repel each other. Electricity manifest as follows; body A is charged with positive electricity. When two electric ties come into contact they form a tension, which is spontaneously self-determined. This light forces its way to become light, breaks forth from within and flows into light outside. If the body electrified is connected with water the tension ceases.

Principally, electrical process is pure selfhood of light first the tension of opposed bodies and the resolve of difference. What emerges is chemical process a real process of the bodily determinations, entering into this the whole substance of body process. Magnetism its difference is revealed but only an abstract activity whereas electricity, each difference belongs to a separate body; each is self-subsistent. It makes appearance 1 in the inner process of earth, called the meteorological sphere.
Every chemical process contains magnetism and electricity principle. The unity of magnetism and electricity borne chemical process, they are the abstract and formal sides of chemical process. .

[Barbara Brooks]

Philosophy has magnificence of mind is spectator of all time and all existence is sure to be temperate, just and gentle, and has the gift of a good memory. Is quick to learn - noble, gracious, the friend of truth, justice, courage, and temperance.

A true philosopher will not rest in the multiplicity of individuality will go on the keen edge will not be blunted, nor the force of their desire abate until they have attained the knowledge of the true essence of philosophy.

[Barbara Brooks]

Philosophy demands in the first place a person who is willing to exalt profound thought and ideas. Free thought Descartes' believed being and thought are inherently the same, as more so abstract pure thought or inner essence. Pure self-thinking quivers within self This is requisite above all to try to establish philosophy.

Knowledge makes its appearance at a time when spirit of citizens has worked its way out of apathy and insensitiveness into world-spirit consciousness acts ethically and carries out purpose. The light of truth is purpose split up into distinct elemental forms, human law and divine in the form of truth; where unconscious spirit comes to actuality and rises out into the conscious universal spirit.

Purpose must not be taken as if it were merely in idea or an act of service nor must you think that purpose produces any kind of action, it is merely a spirit, the truth of consciousness. Because when a person knows not self first principle, and when the conclusion and intermediate steps are constructed out of know not how can such ever become knowledge? In the history of philosophy appears knowledge this almost dead science possibly will again raise its influence and receive some thought and devotion, and hope which had become deaf to learning may once more lead in earnest .


The interests of everyday life are so overwhelming there is no place left for the higher inward life, the intellectual operations of a purer region the better natures have been stunted, and in great measure forgone from memory.A stream of actuality has cut its way out the world has never looked so bad as now draws philosophy out of solitude to combat the shallowness. the free rational world the basis of all higher life, has to be saved, In other words, thrive again.

[Barbara Brooks]

The process in which self determines itself is life thus the organic sphere. That self determines self and equally negates self and returns into self is the organic sphere.

Geological stage is in the corpse of the life-process, as the immediate , the external non-lifethe universal image of life. Second life is the beginning of formal subjective vitality of plant nature, the living organism where the individual falls apart into members which, too are particular individuals. Lastly life in the animal stage the indeterminate multitude of living things which are in themselves subjective organisms.

The living creature are the triumphant individuality the unity of opposites in all particularity bringing forth and preserving self. The living material frame is on the point of passing over into chemical process, is always exposed to danger, always admits another within itself, oxygen, hydrogen, salt. But, life is the true first existence, the active power, and can endure these contradictions.

Then life can be grasped only by theory, because the perpetual action of life is absolute idealism. Wherever there is inner and outer, cause and effect, and means subjectivity-objectivity, etc. of one, there is life.

[Barbara Brooks]

Life is the whole ideal and real union of opposites, wherever there is inner and outer, cause and effect, end and means, subjectivity, objectivity etc. there is life.

Then life can be grasped only by theory, because the perpetual action of life is absolute idealism. Therefore, we living creature, self rounded totality are individual within self and active within self, as self-preservation.

Geological stage is in the corpse of the life-process, as the immediate , the external non-life the universal image of life. life is the beginning of formal subjective vitality of plant nature, the living organism where the individual falls apart into members which, too are particular individuals. Lastly life in the animal stage the indeterminate multitude of living things which are in themselves subjective organisms.


The basis of life is the geological nature on one hand stands individuality, on the other the process of individuality is not an active life, but a frozen life. The geological sphere earth as crystal or as like a skeleton. Earth does not exist as a living creature, is a process-less immediate shape or Earth-body.

This frozen life body only potentially contains activity out side itself.
Elements enter into particular corporeality of the totality and are partly causes, partly effects of the process, but this movement is only abstract because only particular. True earth is totality but only implicitly is affirmed as not affirmed. Earth process lies in the past which nature has left behind as the Earth connection with the solar system, therein its solar, lunar and cometary life, the inclination of Earth's course and magnetic axis.

Earth does not begin with a germ but begins in a duality the concrete granitic and calcareous principals. The granitic being the core of mountains, and the calcareous being mineral forms, metal and fossil objects. Granite is the core of mountains in a triad display and the latter is neutrality is partly mineral, such as metal and fossils as the vein which form themselves into mountains.
