Is the mind the same as the body? What is consciousness? Can machines have it?

The ebb and flow of the sea shapes earth’s form is the result from the position of sun and, earth discharges its superfluous water into springs which connect to form river everything has purpose.
The universe as an ordered and harmonious system that separates itself into particular bodies uniform, conditional and the partly falling and partly free. These principle are in the solar system are in perfect unity, a cosmic perfect group of independent bodies nesting in an objective essential relationship to the sun.

When science is blinded by a collection of fanciful ideas and consumerism find an endless variety of ways of using nature for mere advancement wear nature out in short wipe it out.

They act on the absolute idealistic belief that nature is nothing and when seen Nature’s process and want to grasp its simple essence we grasp the spirit of it. We must stand back leave it alone and adjust to it.

All animals have a mind, the supreme wealth of existence and absolute characteristic feature.
A remarkable phenomenon the mind, it appears conscious but is unconscious. Seeing and hearing, everything is reduced to mind, joy, pain, any mental sensation, etc. We build; gather food, sleep, and wake, all come out of mind. The mind is merely an inner self, an unconscious monitor, and inner stimulus relationship to nature.

The high privilege of animals is their voice that can be wonderful in its utterance of self-feeling. We sentient creatures reveal that which is inwardly for ourselves and reveal a voice. We can show outwardly, what is inward by emitting a cry when feeling pain, need, hunger, repletion, pleasure, and joyfulness. When in heat horses neigh, insects hum, and cats purr and the higher voice of the bird when launched forth in song. Or the birds soared freely in the air, separated from the heaviness of the earth, uttering there self-feeling.

The self-movement freedom of the animal nature is like light, ideally freed form gravity, removed form real externality, spontaneously determines its place. Also, animal possesses a voice, displays its self-movement as a free vibration within itself; it has body heat a process of cohesion and the enduring self-subsistence of the parts in the preservation of shape. Further, animal nature has a self-individualizing relationship to inorganic nature. Above all animal nature a individuality which determines itself, is universal, abiding with itself and preserving itself, has feelings. Animal organism is like the sun and in it the stars are related to each other according to their physical nature and are taken back into the sun, which holds them in one body. Animal members are purely moments of form, perpetually negating their independence and bringing themselves back into their unity. The fully accomplished unity is the soul, the implicit unity which is present in the body. The soul is unitary, finer than a point, has no truth in the spatial existence.

What is sunlight a luminous body? How does it manifested? How is it made visible? First, sunlight is caused by condition. Sun is only luminous matter relates only to sun and the reason why it shines. The mode and manner in which sunlight reveals itself, as a un-resting whirlpool of pure velocity, and transparency that is everywhere present pure universal actuality that has the possibility of unifying with all things it enters into community with. Everything exists because of sunlight.


Sunlight is the most difficult to understand, it does not present a self, does not showing ideality. Physics is a state of difference, all about opposition. Sunlight is independent in face of other determinations, has pure identity reflection into self.

To consider sunlight first thing that must be investigated is the pure force, absolute velocity determination, then the second point is the manner in which reveals sunlight and third its everywhere present transparency.

Sunlight does not fill space; it is only present in space. It is pure universal actuality that has the possibility of unifying with all things it enters into community with is the sharing of a common existence; everything exists because it is in sunlight.

If earth were smooth would be a mere shining in something else. In order for something to be visible must be present material substance. Material things become visible through light, meaning light and matter has a positive and negative. Relationship; Light affirms everything, illuminates outside brightens up earth, makes it visible. Without earth connection to sunlight, earth would be without process. The relationship of the sun to earth brings the difference of day and night; The sun mounting higher and higher is daytime and when it reaches its highest point sinks to its lowest is nighttime.

How does sunlight relate to earth? The most important characteristic of light is its gleam, or shining of something other on earth’s surface. If earth’s surface were smooth, it would be merely a gleam or a shining image of something other.

Sunlight brightens up earth makes earth visible; Consequently, earth is perpetually ignited and incited, because it’s surface is rough, smooth, and pointed and this causes light and shade to arise.

The Sun and earth brings the difference of day and night; without earth's connection to the sun, earth would be a devoid of process. The sun mounting higher and higher is daytime and when it reaches its highest point sinks to its lowest is nighttime.

A factor of the earth and sun relationship is the atmospheric pressure level. Is Goethe, discovered that the variations of the barometric level were simultaneous compared barometric reading from the same latitude on different meridians in Europe, America and Asia. From these readings, he found that trade winds are constant east winds, in the tropics also winds from Europe blow from the northeast, the nearer one gets to the equator the more winds blow from the east. The more distance from the equator, the winds take on a southerly direction until they are southeast. In India, the barometer usually stands at the same level. Perry in the Polar Regions found no thunderstorms, but almost every night he saw the northern lights in all directions.

The whole solar system exists together as the unbinding one. The power of purpose, there is nothing that assures anything without reason because there is always some contradiction present. Truth can only be seen through a glass dimly, same as justice and temperance or any other high ideals, but reason lights up the chaos.

Today, science, blinded by a collection of fanciful ideas and consuming progression, finds an endless variety of ways of using nature for mere purpose and advancement. They wear Nature out, wear it down, in short annihilate it. Many act on the absolute idealistic belief that nature is nothing and when they see Nature’s processes and transformations want to grasp its simple essence.

The approach is a rational view of Nature Intended to be a starting point to all further constructive and deductive scientific studies. A more thoughtful examination of Nature is needed. Not the affair of the imagination, but scientific work with a statement of the specific character of its subject matter and purpose and what is to be considered in it and how. For the real subject matter is in working the matter out in the mind instead of laying hold of the subject matter in hand.

My humble interpretation of the intellectual world is through the medium of sight or touch, or of another senses. From the senses derive all that sensible. What is great and what is small arises from the distinction of the visible and the intelligible. Arithmetic and calculation lead the mind toward these truths. What is great and what is small arises when there is some contradiction and one is the reverse of one and involves the conception of plurality. Then thinking begins to be aroused within me, and my mind is perplex and wanting to arrive at a resolution of what is absolute unity? This inquiry draws me and converts me to the contemplate true being.

The eye certainly can see small and great, but not distinguished, whereas the thinking means to light up the confusion. The mind has independent existence like the solar system of stars and planets are related to each other. The mind too is like the sun and in it the stars and planets are related to each other in agreement, the sun holds the stars and planets in one body same as the mind feels, perceives, reasons, wills and thinks.

Self-preservation n the face of pressure from the outside impact I sound my own accord, announce my spiritual nature. Remarkable thing the mind it appears purposeful and conscious as a self-conscious entity but the mind is really unconscious. The fact I am against outside entanglement with the world, conquered by repudiating and rejecting in order to return to self.

Enlightenment is called spirit or the unconscious inner working and weaving but it has no real self-distinguishing consciousness, Reason is nothing else than pure consciousness in relation to time. Thus this inner reality of consciousness is without prophecy pure ideality, just a mere implicit thought within oneself, yet reason has an actual pure truth and conversely an inner soul.
Here is belief it can’t be felt, seen nor tasted; it is simply undifferentiated, unified pure self-conscious ideal. It cannot stand because has no support, no inherent standpoint, it is simply ideality. To sum up reason is the egoism of self-consciousness and what makes one’s purpose complete.

mind if hostile will not come into self for the mind is precisely the mediation involving self with outer world and returning into self. This is a double determination: first, the rejecting by the whole structure, its hostility towards the outer world and second, reproduction, or self-preservation.

Come take a longer and more circuitous journey for nothing imperfect is the measure of anything, lets never stop short reason the most finished picture. Everyone finds in themselves reason as a centrality to extremes, it passes out of opinion above hypotheses into a intellectual plane which makes no

Doubt is essential and implicit pass into confidence is beginning before accomplishment. The first step to achievement is fear it comes first. Fear confronts purpose into actualization; Realize self as simply in reciprocal relation: every aspect of our life is affected by the specific proper content of purpose of one individual permeated by this unity of inner and outer, determinate character is in the actual carrying it out.


Here world-spirit comes into being, all truth and all that is present is truth. Knowledge is simply to draw the mind towards truth. The mind is more like to the unperceived and the body more liken to the seen, therefore before we see knowledge. Must be derived from senses Nothing turns into something once it is thought of; in other words when supposing anything to be or not to be itself.

Any knowledge than any person and knows all things more then anybody else we have been deceived, by a performer who is unable to examine the nature of knowledge.

In knowledge is the eye of the mind rose to the universal light, which lightens all things, and behold absolute good, Not as A heroic performer whose chief pursuit is to act, but simply as a matter of beholding the light of day.

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 was courageous, temperate, holy, free, and the like. He came to be what he imitated and all these virtues became his second Nature. Gifted of true nature of beauty and graceful fair senses, and the good in everything; beauty flowed into his senses like a breeze from a purer world, drawing into likeness and sympathy with reason. Truth is related to knowledge and posited as the aspect of being, apply an accepted standard that decides whether which is right or wrong. But the phenomenal of knowledge or the essential of knowledge is sheer intelligence and the criterion is not truth, but wisdom, insight, understanding, and perception.

This pathway of knowledge is consciousness. The truth which consciousness has concerning self can by its essential principle embrace nothing less than the entire system of consciousness. Truth is set forth in not as abstract, but as consciousness in virtue of consciousness.

Whenever some actor performs as a person who possesses a higher

Reason, the universal author of all things beautiful and good, parent of light, and the light in this visible world and source of truth, is seen only with an effort.
Therefore, I press forward to the true form of existence, I lay aside what is foreign to me, with what is only for self; my consciousness becomes identified with this very stage proper of mind. When, finally I grasp the truth of knowledge. Skepticism brings about despair, thoughts, and opinions, and that follows straight away to criticism. Most people see knowledge as a test, a mere negative process but knowledge transcends what is limited, and transcends one’s own self-consciousness. Consciousness remains always in unthinking sluggishness, thought knowledge agitates our consciousness, disturbs its indolence is violated at the hands of reason.
