A Philosophy of Mind

[Barbara Brooks]

the outside world we sentient creature are in a state of tension with, is a feeling that excites a particular emotion independent determined in a particular way.

Instinctually we are in step with the outside world just as everything else is. That is to say, we feel it. Therefore, feeling is in deed a need of outside world an urge or need.

Hegel wrote, “To feel is the privilege of higher natures and the higher the nature, the more unhappiness it feels.”

The senses sometimes deceive us even concerning the simplest matters that we are subject to error. If all the rest of what I had ever imagined had really existed, I
Should have no reason for thinking that I had being and there is no need of place, nor material thing; the mind would not cease to be what it is.

Need prevails over purpose and that is a struggle, like of any struggle of division. Likeness is or unlikeness is not, and so on, the same holds true of inner and outer, generation and destruction, being and not being.

What is truth but reality? The pure inner essential being of one comes forward with the world over against is the whole Godly relation between inner and outer just like the crystal nucleus that lets the molecules integrants attach themselves to the outside of the nucleus in a kind of successive series.

The French mineralogist Hauy expounded the law of crystallization as immaterial becoming material by crystallizing the immaterial through and through its place. This silent activity sets forth without action, merely shapes, and links together all the indifferent parts. The outside is called the crystal of feeling.

There are two main divisions of reason one is truth and the other knowledge.

Truth and knowledge constitute principles and that is where the very principle of reason lies . There is a conflict between reason and emotions, the conflict should be resolved, and that a unity of both should come out as a result is ethical.. I occupy mind reasoning, and advancing as much as possible .My ego comes forward asserts not just certainty but purpose. The ego is bare, simple pure inner self, or in other words, truth; my pure inner true being comes forward over against the world. In one way, egos are restless passes hither and thither, seeing, grasping, in the other way, the unflappable truth.

The world is like a cave and we see only shadows by sunlight on the opposite part of the cave. They are conversing with one another about these shadows. But through reflection comes truth and compassion for other. In the mind of everyone is good.

First of all, we perceive easily shadows, then images and after wards truth, not in the images, not resemblances of truth, but in its proper region that gives the seasons, and years, and names for all things; not opinion not, shadows, and disputing about them with corrupted eyes, and make no good attempt to go beyond the opinions of shadows.

Easily we perceive shadows, then the images, and last truth, not resemblances of truth, but proper truth that gives the seasons, and years, and names for all things; not opinion not, shadows, and disputing about them with corrupted eyes, and make no good attempt to go beyond the opinions of shadows. In the mind of everybody is truth, it being the organ by which every one learns and this we call Good.

[Barbara Brooks]

The ego is truth pure inner self, in which lays feelings. Then truth falls into a contradiction has a twofold nature, which consist of idealism and reality,

Know thy self ascends the very process of seeking declares that it is utterly impossible to have the satisfaction of finding all truth When truth is captain self-control follows and is most good. Through a mirror image of self comes truth and compassion of others Truth reveals the path of purpose. What is truth but objective reality, in other words, the assurance of being? Purpose the bare and simple truth when self comes forward asserts not just certainty of self but purpose

Feelings prevail over purpose like the struggle of division or like watching an archer pushing and pulling the bow at the same time, one hand pushes and the other pulls. Purpose and feelings one bids and the other forbid, the forbidding and bidding one.

If philosophy were mere opinion it would be a very tiresome study. Come rise out of the sea of change lay hold to philosophy not as amateurs who grapple with wrong opinion but with much facility in sifting out all the questions embraced in philosophy as science. .

[Barbara Brooks]

There are generation of philosophers the same as generation of plants, and anything which there is generation and the proof would be easier to understand . Are not all things that have opposites generated from ? I mean such things as just and unjust, good and evil and the innumerable other opposites which are generated out of opposition.

Philosophy was planted in Greece proper and where Thales the Phoenician philosopher made his home. Thales is the author of the Ionic sectm he was born according to best calculation, the first year of the 35th Olympiad 640 B.C. and Pythagoras was contemporary of Thales. If Thales was born in the 35th Olympiad and Pythagoras was in the 43rd meaning Pythagoras was only twenty-one years younger then Thales.

There are not writings from Thales no one knows whether he was in the habit of writing but one of his maxims was "It is not the many words that have most meaning." All that is known of Thales is little. Plutarch st atesThales principle that water is everything that everything takes its origin from water.

It is true Greeks had already considered the sun, mountains, earth, sea, rivers as independent powers and revered them as gods.Thales called God the intelligence of the world and said that water is everything, but our mind forms all that which is out of water.

[Barbara Brooks]

I love knowledge of eternal Nature not the varying from generation and corruption, no secret corners of illiberality, nothing can be more antagonistic than meanness of the soul which is ever longing after the whole of things both divine and human.

Tonight is the full moon, how seemingly powerless a mass and conditional. 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 rivers. Mountains have an inner life, a striving and a stirring the earth's process of evaporation. Mountains are regarded as the genuine springs that generate rivers, discharges its abstractly fresh water hastens to the sea. In July, August and September the sea becomes polluted with slimy vegetable life in the form of threads , which break through into vegetable life on the surface, are simple reflected lights consisting of points, vast tracks of sea break out into phosphorescent light..

[Barbara Brooks]

Sunspots and moons are principles of sun and planets, not chance oppositions. Moon is planet hard interior and cometary planet’s atmosphere. The phenomenon moon waterless strives, as it was to unite with the sea, the ebb and flow of the tides. The sea rises to escape toward the moon.

The moon, which snatches the sea away to itself, is akin to earth. On the other hand, comets are transparent fluid bodies completely translucent and orbit the sun, disperse and form another around the sun.

In the solar system displays essential relationship a group of independent bodies having three motions, comet a uniformed motion that expresses from the outside, moon motion expressing a partly free and partly conditional and lastly the unconditional free circle of restoration planet.

I do not regard my talent as my own but always the people. A musician, or a doctor, should not profit more than their skill; and this should be as standard law and not exceed it.

My art is on the side of good. and every accomplished art is brilliant and good creating happiness.

Art means the ruin and overthrow of self; thus, art can be looked upon as the path of or more properly the highway of anguish. This pathway of intention, following conviction is certainly more than to hand self over to the simple opinion of others, for they straight away criticize and hamper any art and the artist becomes powerless of what it is to undertake.

To bring philosophy into actuality is not a chance accident is through study and understanding, not dragging our feet which is inherent in all and opposes art and we sink to the level of mere emptyness.

[Barbara Brooks]

Philosophy looks coldly upon sophist they are the false philosophers . The true philosopher has talent, memory, courage, and magnificence. They use the hypotheses only as hypotheses. That is to say, as steps and points of departure into a world, which is above hypotheses, philosophy from ideas, through ideas, and in ideas ends.

Therefore, musical training is a most effective instrument for a philosopher, because rhythm and harmony find their way imparting grace. Music is just as reading , every eager to make them known. When know exactly become musical and author. A philosopher must know the essential forms of temperance, courage, liberality, magnificence, and their kindred when a beautiful mind harmonizes with the fairest of sights to the philosopher who has an eye to see it.

The fairest is also the loveliest and philosophers have that spirit of harmony is in love with the loveliest.

[Barbara Brooks]

The song of dialectic is of intellect only here starts on the discovery of the absolute by light of reason only, without any assistance of senses, perseveres until intelligence arrive at the perception of absolute good.

To follow conviction is certainly more than to hand over to the doubters; Fear hides behind conceit being ever so much cleverer than any other. This sort of vainity understands how to belittle and and gloat over its own private understanding, which always knows how to dissipate mind .Knowledge is not found anywhere in the field of opinion not clever turns nor allusive phrases of half utterances, but knowledge that consists in open, definite, meaningful, and purposeful in origin.

Knowledge is a phenomenon; a pathway of consciousness which is pressing forward traversing the spiritual life arrives at the knowledge of what is truth.

[Barbara Brooks]

Knowin the ultimate absolute truth of consciousnes is everything that gives certainty by its means of exercising reason of things . Whereas knowledge must be dependent on principles derived from wisdom, that is requisite above all to try to establish truth.
