Do you really exist Barbara?

I've been away for 2 years but you are still going strong.

Where do you get the nerve to come back here two years later and question my existence?

I'm just a cheeky little so and so I suppose. At least I know you are real now.

Hi Barbara;
I look forward to your posts, they consistently read well.
If you do not mind, I've affectionately honored you with the nickname "Babs."

RachelAnn,

Thank you for your support.

True existence I am forever directed towards, of things that are all in order moving towards true being that is what I write about.

Through some inherent goodness I had my eyes opened and little by little I drawn off into another stream absorbed in truth I learned.

Absolute truth is my aim and since this endeavour here is most important to me I shall not grapple or pull upon mere opinion.

"Babs." I do not mind this affectionate nickname.

The well educated grow into sensible people, they easily see their way through all these, as well as other matters such as, marriage, possessions and bringing up children. They follow as the Damon proverb that friends have all things in common

For good nurture and education implant good constitutions, and these good constitutions taking root in a good education improve more and more, and this improvement affects the breed in people as in other animals.

Socrates said and I quite believe him; that when modes of music changes, the fundamental laws of the country always change with them. Change of manner like when the young were to be silent before their elders; how they are to show respect to them by standing and making them sit; honor is due to parents; or manners in general. You would agree with me that these things have changed.

God mingles in words and the arts as a go-between that spans the gulf we all spring from. Language has an effect on our action both divine and human. The art of a narrator, one has to learn the differences of minds and must have a good theoretical mind; you try to ascertain truth without knowledge.

Every word written has been spoken before. Language is not thrown down anyhow, nor is it mere rhetoric. Words are an impression of reality. The same is true of painting once it is painter’s work can fall about anywhere among those who may like it or may not.
Then language, painting, all the arts have no guardian to protect them they can be battered, abused, cannot be protected. Words forever directed towards philosophy is all in order moving toward good draws my mind toward knowledge and truth. All great writers require discussions of high speculation and hence come loftiness of words; and for those who know will always know best how to discover the resemblance of truth.

I am fascinated with words forever directed towards philosophy that is all in order moving toward good draws my mind toward knowledge and truth.

What rules self is called knowledge. The object of knowledge is thought, for example, the knowledge of house building is termed architecture is called the rational principle of self, whereas the other principle of self may be termed the ally of pleasures and satisfactions.

Here we gentle people to set one’s own self in order is to lie out the perfect inner being. Now knowledge is sheer intelligence lays aside what is around you, which derives from senses, pure ideality within being.

Physics belongs to the sphere that transforms one into existence. No longer is being indifferent one like space and time. Earth binds together air fire and water these elements have the power, which stimulate earth into a process. Process of earth is called atmospheric, or the manifestation of being. Though this process earth unity of elements, air, fire and water.

The pure absolute being is not finite, it is merely what is around you weaving and moving not seen, felt, or tasted, is pure thought, with no division within.

Absolute being thought is nothing else than pure being at the same time related to what is around you - called pure matter. Pure inherent being absolute matter is pure ideal being, pure thought within self.

Absolute cannot exist, if it did absolute would be no longer absolute its being would be determined by a relation. To demonstrate this is very difficult, the perplexity in reference to visible things. The beginning and end are the limits of everything, that case the one, having neither beginning nor end is unlimited. Therefore, irregular form cannot partake either of round shape or straight line. This is because the round is that of which all the extreme points are equal distance from the centre, the straight line is that of which are the extending points. To have a portion either of a straight line or of a circular shape would have parts and having no parts will be neither straight nor round.

The sun being of such a nature is in itself, also contained by nothing else but itself; that is to say, if it were really in itself; for nothing can be in anything which does not contain the sun But then, that which contains must be other than that which is contained. For the same whole cannot do and suffer both at once; and if so, one will be no longer one, but two. Motion of the sun largely whether that which is of such a nature can have either rest or motion if it were moved, would be either moved in place or changed in nature; when it changes and ceases to be itself, cannot be any longer the sun. Then motion of sun is moved in place, must it not too move round and round in the same place, or only from one place to another. And that which moves in a circle must rest upon a center; and that which goes round upon a centre must have parts, which are different from the center.

Therefore, motion of the sun consists in change of place because anything which comes into being in anything, can neither as yet be in that other thing while still coming into being, nor be altogether out of it, if already coming into being in it. Whatever comes to be in another must have parts, and then one part may be in, and another part out of that other; but that which has no parts can never be at one and the same time neither entirely within nor entirely without anything. never comes to a point, or place. This paradoxes of multiplicity and motion is very interesting argument that shows that a line cannot be composed of points. If we suppose that a line segment is composed of a multiplicity of points, then we can always divide a line segment, and every bisection leave us with a line segment that can itself be divided.

The universe is an ordered harmonious system, which separates into particular bodies is not pulled in different directions. It is like the ancients say “ blessed gods” nesting in the solar system, in a perfect group of independent bodies as objective essential existence.

This is universal gravitation cohesion is the relationship shapes turns and expresses independently together. Therefore, motion concerns two determinates, the path and velocity.

Copernicus assumed the path and velocity were equal but not traversed in equal times must be uniform. Johannes Kepler upon the hypotheses of Nicolaus Copernicus, upon the observations of Tycho Brahe, and upon the magnetic philosophy of William Gilbert. Kepler divided his law of motion first in the cometary and sunspots motion, then lunary motion and last planetary motion.

Kepler’s “Universal Gravitation” notion is divided into two bodies, the cometary and the lunary; cometary one is the elliptic motion where the path of its motion is circular and uniform. The pendulum motion where particular bodies have their center not only in itself but also in another is the Lunar, Together the cometary and lunary motions demonstrates the planetary motion its one movement by two determinations.

It took Kepler twenty-seven years for to determine the law of motion using the heaven as his relativity; Kepler believed in the heavenly bodies reason must be there and arrived at these laws. Hegel believed they are among the most beautiful, purest laws and least tangled with diversity to be found.

I don’t claim to present here new ideas because there is nothing new under the sun. In truth, everybody possesses knowledge, it is offered to every one. The ideas are capable of being understood by most people, an open road made plain for all. I borrowed all that is best in knowledge I wrote everything down, which gave objectivity and reason.

Look at things as they really are of the power and capacity of gaining knowledge and understanding in the mind. All images dwell in mind are imprinted by the intervention of knowledge.

When perceiving by the help of either sight or hearing, a conception of some other thing like it or unlike it is in the mind. What is taught remains in memory. Then educators are wrong when they say that they can put knowledge into the mind of the student as if it were not there before, like putting sight into blind eyes. The power and capacity of knowledge exists in the mind already.

Mere opining the easiest line of communications deliver me from it. The chief prerequisite here is eternal conception of truth clear as possible not entangled in some personal aim the task of philosophy is to show universal improvement.

Amazing thing the mind it has the power to act from within outward and is not determined by the connection of the nerves. The will that acts solely through the nerve-stems, in a conscious awaken state is reflection into self, sensibility that differentiates self into the many sensory approaches to the world. This is a threefold process: first, perception, second, cohabitation, living together, and lastly, the change of temperature; these three distinguish wakefulness from sleep and called the sphere of feeling;

The mechanical sphere of feeling is the relationship with the outside world transforms into feeling this is called the crystal of vitality is feeling a system under one body.

Mind virtuous educated by time, distinguishes things clear and intelligible takes a negative outlook towards the outside world and turns it rounds into a positive one.

Come turn round from a day passing which is little better than night to the true day of being. This is the ascent, which is affirmed to be true philosophy.
