A Philosophy of Mind

[Barbara Brooks]

The ego a simple certainty of self, at the same time mixed of things. Just the act of speaking is the elevation of immediate consciousness to ego which is knowledge directly linked to everyone. Ego entangled in the world of appearance contains everything which gives certainty of self by means of exercising purpose in all things.

[Barbara Brooks]

Language, right and noble depend on the temper of the mind, also happiness depends upon the temper of the mind. In all of us there is especially in youth an untamed nature nakedly true. Therefore in mind there is a good rule and bad rule in mind and when the good has the bad under control this s called temperance, the agreement of the good and bad.

Good and bad naturally assimilate to good and bad style. The same as rhythm and harmony of musical training, imparts grace, and makes the mind that is rightly educated noble and good will are everywhere eager to make good known in life.

The beautiful mind will be the fairest of sights. Socrates, believed the fairest is also the loveliest and philosophers have that spirit will be most loved by the loveliest.

[Barbara Brooks]

The philosopher’s mind is fine as a point, free self-moving like the motion of the sun moves round and round in the same place, only from one place to another so too the mind rest upon a center moves round and round in the same place, or only from one place to another.

[Barbara Brooks]

Like a hollowed out place is the world above the ground and we see only shadows by sunlight first perceive shadows, then images and last the truth not opinion, not shadows, not truth with tainted eyes,, We must make no good attempt to go beyond the shadows.

Hegel wrote in Phenomenology of Mind “mind of its own” is simply stubbornness is a type of freedom which does not get beyond the attitude of master and slave. This is a universal formative activity of fear no matter how rich or poor fear is before the objectivity then labour shapes and fashions objectivity.

The mind that labors and serves accordingly attains self independence. Even if you fall to the lot of servant, mind retains self independence. Then fear is not permenant not an infected through and through merely a slight anxiety totters and shakes self independence but mind remains inherently determine of being; “mind of its own” .

Remarkable mind it feels, perceives, reasons, wills, and thinks; all individual in totality, as consciousness, self-consciousness, reason, and spirit all together constituting one mind.

[Barbara Brooks]

When disunity arise between people without ethical order fall not into state of things as they actually are but as principles, rules and belief that naturally shape and preserve mind spirit.

Ethics is essentially just that, it is as much spiritual as dominates self being outside of family. It must not be taken as some mere service but substantial in character and universal being that lifts society out of chance happening into universal peace. No doubt this takes effect within any society to attain that stage

Mind spirit was so with the Ionic times when there was a decline in the Ionic states of Asia Minor. The same in Rome in the decline of the Republic and also in the Middle Ages when the Teutonic life acquired a new principles It made its appearance in times when citizens worked out indifference and ignorance, that was when change began.

Come fix your eyes on what has preoccupied and disquieted countries we have fallen into such disunity it becomes the task of philosophy to reawaken ethical principles, rules and belief. They are for anyone who has an eye to see the fairest sights is also the loveliest and have ethics will be the loveliest.

Knowledge is the acme of all science must be approached in a partly practical manner and partly theoretical manner not as some of the ignorant analogies passed off as the study of Nature.

The analogy of Nature unites all determinations together within it like a bouquet bound together is a vital process is; a constructive deductive rational process which defines the unchanging orderly and harmoniously scheme of things.

Little things elaborated how ridiculous! Attaining the highest truth worthy good is no easy task but nothing short of the most picture because nothing imperfect is the measure of anything. Only good becomes useful and advantageous. The idea of good shine with radiant knowledge is the highest virtue everyone pursues and makes the end of all action.

Purpose is belief pervades and permeates self-consciousness consciousness, reason, and faith that pervade and permeate all aspects of purpose stamps in mind a determinate character of “self”, here is where consciousness and self-consciousness have come to terms.

Belief in self is what makes purpose complete. Socrates described purpose namely as something thoroughly familiar, something everyone finds in themselves and starting point for every further consideration.

Laboring anything into something has not only positive significance but objectivity No thing t becomes something without labor

When I began reading Hegel's Natural Law, it was a small book but it took me two years to read. Then I learned about Plato, and fell in love with Socrates the wisest person in the world.

In 1980 in order to sweep out the cobwebs from my mind I began writing a diary I was up against a lot of obstacles. I stopped writing in them 1994 but ended up with 17 diary books which I call “The Weeping Wall.” They helped me in 1983 I began in ernest writing philosophy for me and anyone else traveling the same path of those who love knowledge.

But no one is reading. You don't engage in dialogue. What do you get out of it?

The first a contradiction by chaz's words?

And then a disproof of the second by BB's reply. Although only an answer to the first I note. So maybe support for the second.

In an absolute sense BB does engage in dialogue. WHy not give her a try and see how far you get.
First read back through the 130+ pages on this thread and see how many respondents she has.
I challenge you to read it all! Again. see how far you get.
Then ask yourself the same questions I have.

[Arising_uk]

I've been with BB a long time as you missed the first 1000 odd posts on the old forum. But you can find my tuppenceworth somewhere in here, or was that the old one?

Tell you what is interesting, at times her posts do appear to be a reflection upon what is going on in the rest of the forum. But it could just be a selection error as she repeats the same theme many times

[Barbara Brooks]

Arising_uk,

We go back a long time you were my first questioner and now I consider you a friend.

Sincerely,

BB

chaz wyman,

What I am doing I would be doing if there were no such thing as a computer. I would be writing philosophy trying to exact it. But fate has changed that with the invention of computers. Now I can harmlessly share my thoughts for those who are curious to learn philosophy. Like any other knowledge philosophy must be taught  and all those matters of opinion must be driven out to fill with knowledge that is lodged in every philosopher’s heart. In which some believe is not so far from the heaven of happiness. 

Cast away what the many entertain they are always finding fault and making that the theme of discussion.
Philosophy embraces profound thought can only be won by work like the good farmer nurturing and cultivating gentle qualities of wisdom.There is a perfection, which all students ought to attain and not to fall short of. Only then will the pursuit of philosophy have true value.

[Barbara Brooks]

Sophist only captivate the ear having nothing in these words authentic, or worthy of wisdom. They seeing philosophy open to anyone, a terrain well stocked with title the cleverest take a leap into philosophy.

Socrates believed those who belong to this small group have sampled how thoughtful and sacred the possession of philosophy and seen enough of the lunacy of the world.

Philosopher is like a person who has fallen among the mob but will not join but is unable singly to resist the lunacy if they don't want throw their worthy knowledge away without doing any good they need to hold their peace, and go their own way.

[Barbara Brooks]

When we perceive something either by the help of sight or hearing or any other senses there is no difficulty perceiving some thing other like it or unlike it, therefore , one of two alternatives follows: either we had knowledge before birth or at birth, and continue to knowledge throughout life; those who know only remember the sweetness of learning and knowing.
The art of recovering is reason deals with purpose of the world. Between knowledge and truth midway is reason that functions as a centrality between extremes.

The absolute end is reason preyed upon by outside influences attacking it and trying to drive it on into alien and distant conditions because mind always-unthinking sluggishness reason agitates it disturbs its laziness.

Knowledge is the instrument of reason and its bare empty path of intentions. Knowledge comes on the scene and liberates this bare pathway and carries out purpose.
We mortals have a beginning and an end, but the mind can neither be destroyed nor begotten. One must quit the senses in order to behold reason: an impossibility I know we are in company with the senses therefore unfortunately we cannot have pure knowledge. But, we can make the nearest approach when we are not saturated with bodily feelings and show not the least possible interest.

Knowledge all arts and sciences and intelligences use it must in common, for example, every one first has to learn one, two, and three. Here begins the power of elevating the mind to contemplate the highest principles of knowledge which appears to be a study that has the power to drive the mind out of the sea of change.

May compare to as the raising the very light of the body to the sight that is brightest in the material visible world.

[Barbara Brooks]

Purpose depends on circumstances. There are inevitable consequences linked with every action, unable to foresee the future—but must act. Purpose is not merely implicit but at times goes to war as though self had two distinct objectives.

Want prevail over purpose and that is conflict, the struggle of division. People willing to be active in pursuit of what interests them, or what should interest them, is a series of his actions.

[Barbara Brooks]

To make an end to all actions must have knowledge and truth which is deemed to be like good but not the higher place good that leads to order and virtue. Now can anyone help not imitating that?

Mind is merely unconscious overseer that perceives has two agents; visibility and principles; the higher principle makes no use of visibility is the element of pure knowing the ultimate absolute truth of consciousness and without any assistance of senses principles perseveres until intelligence arrives at the perception of good.

That is why purpose acts must be substantial in character, must be entire and universal spirited; and must not be taken as if it were not a mere service . Through purpose comes about a universal being with feeling and reverent devotion to self and other. Here sets before us universal spirit linked together unconscious spirit comes to act and rise out of the state of unconsciousness into the universal whole.

[Barbara Brooks]

Thought the sphere of being-for-self is equally in relationship with world spirit, being-for-self pulled out from gravity. Being-for-self come under the might of individuality. Self is a living individual preserves only from resources in nature. Here is where we enter into relationship with nature. Self is produced at the expense of nature exists through this process subject to air, and fire, water, earth, for they are the roots of individuality.

What truth is but reality, in other words the mere assurance of being, just the bare reason of self? The inner self is the essential real inner essence that comes forward with the world over against it. Certainty is on the same level with truth, but certainty is simply the ego.

Knowledge corresponds to conception. The inherent being is ego and process of relating to nature. It is ego, which is opposed to nature. But self-consciousness passes into the native land of truth, into that realm where it is at home.
