Absolute idealism is life and can only be grasped by theory, because wherever there is inner and outer, cause and effect, and means subjectivity-objectivity, etc., there is life. Life vital process unites all determinations together within like a bouquet bound together. No life can endure without the Elements, and only endures as subjective

The process of Elements which determine the seasons and time of day, have periodic variations, and this is noticeable in the electrical and magnetic fields are subjective forms of Elements.

Come turn around mind passing from a day which is little better than night to the light of true being. Becoming to being turns toward that place where full perfection is.

If these studies were given honor to them there would be continuous earnest searches, discoveries would be made. Even now, disregarded as these studies are by the world, maimed and of no the use, still these studies force their way by their charm, and very likely, if they have help would some day emerge into light.

For anything to be made visible specific darkness is required, or roughness, or color must be present, therefore sunlight shining on earth roughness and color makes it visible.


To say sunlight brightens up earth makes it visible, does more then just be opposite, positive and negative. The chief characteristic of sunlight is its gleam, or shining something other then itself.


Consequently, rough, smooth, and pointed surfaces these are things cause light and shade to arise. Earth is perpetually ignited and incited by sunlight.

The process of earth is complex because we confuse earth with life.

Earth is merely the ground of life, merely affirms the unity of Elements, air, fire and water. The relationship of the sun to earth brings the difference of day and night; without earth's connection to the sun, earth would be a devoid of process.


The whole solar system exists together as the unbinding one?


Unfortunately, too many people look at earth as quantitative, not a component part of this complex whole.

The principle of knowledge is not truth, but intelligence, wisdom, insight, and understanding. Courage is the salvation with true and false options. Under all circumstances fearless, we do not lose courage. It is a mighty- go-between, the mightiest of all substance for cleansing of the mind. Courage is indelible, fixed, it cannot be washed away is a universal saving power of true opinion and real and false situations.


Fear is an essential negativity and natural beginning is inherently a determinate quality of purpose, a transparent universal element in which we feel for self. We must think away negativity.

Come grasp the truth and you will have no difficulty seeing that there is a conscious universal conclusion that dominates all actions, that lifts us out of the life of chance and change, into real and substantial characters, harmonize temperance, courage, liberality, magnificence, and good.

Truth leads to order and virtue is more valuable than knowledge has a place higher that philosophers make their work in life, seeking truth into everything that flows like a gentle wind from a purer region.

Imagine God shining in company with the celestial forms, and on earth shining in clearness through the clearest aperture of the mind. God being everywhere traverses the whole heaven appearing-- perfect and fully winged soars upward, and orders the whole world.

God the only maker of truth for no one else can be the maker. Not as a particular maker of truth but a real maker, God is the natural author lifts mind up into the outside world, carried round in a revolution, troubled indeed and with great difficulty behold truth; rise and fall, and see, and again fail to see disorder of the climb too eager to behold truth the highest part of the mind where pasturage is found nourished.

Socrates believed God mingles in language and all arts as the go-between who crosses the gulf and all is bound. Language is in affect both divine and human gift and the source of the best of blessings given.

The philosopher, harmoniously constituted, just, and gentle even in youth happiness depends upon self-control meaning the better elements of the mind lead to order and reason, free and virtuous.

God mingles in language and all arts as the go-between who crosses the gulf and all is bound. Language is in affect both divine and human gift and the source of the best of blessings given.

The philosopher, harmoniously constituted, just, and gentle even in youth happiness depends upon self-control; if the better elements of the mind lead to order and reason, free and virtuous.

Today philosophy in the first place few schools teach leads to a lack of the pursuit; especially without a teacher are difficult. Also, as matters stand students today are too conceited see no profit in philosophy. Nevertheless, even as marred and useless philosophy by its natural charm emerges.

Philosophy is a kind knowledge that shows eternal not varying from generation or corrupt self.

Know thy self is truth, ascends the very process of seeking declares that When truth is captain self-control follows and is most good.
Through a mirror image of self comes truth and compassion of others reveals the path of purpose.

What is truth but the assurance of self? That bare and simple truth that comes forward asserts not just certainty of self but has reason.

Here Zeus whisper to the philosopher; “a wise person abstracts and defines rationally the ideas and runs the challenge of all objections, and is ready to refute, not by opinion, but reason, never stumbling at any step of the argument.”

I am dedicated wholly to upholding truth; it is best I aspiring after truth have none of worldly things that can trouble it, neither sounds nor sights nor pain nor pleasure. Only by good do all things become useful and advantageous. The highest virtue is good everyone pursues it and makes it the end of all actions.

All other things become useful and advantageous only by good; beauty, wealth, rank, and connection handy helpers for greater good can also corrupt and distract. The mind rests upon good so be a servant of good, so that all may be under the same rule, friends, and equals.

Come grasp the truth and you will have no difficulty seeing that there is a universal end that dominates everyone's action, lifts us out of the life of chance and change, into world universality; it is only as citizens that we are real and substantial character.

Knowledge and truth is reason split up into distinct elemental forms, human and divine rule, where mind spirit comes to actuality and rises into philosopher harmonized and good.

The sun holds the reins leads the way ordering all and taking care of all sights in the inner heaven, and there are many ways to and fro, along which the blessed passing, every one doing their own work. Jealousy has no place when they go to banquet and festival, then up the steep top of the vault of heaven. The chariots of the god are in even poise, obeying the rein, glide rapidly; there abides the very being with which true knowledge is concerned; visible only to mind, the pilot of the sun

Now the rest of us who are also longing after the upper world follow, but not being strong enough we are carried round plunging, treading on one another, each striving to be first; and there is a lot of confusion and perspiration and effort to be first brake by ill-driving and after a fruitless toil, not having attained the mysteries of true being, go away, or feed upon opinion carried round in the revolution, troubled indeed by the steeds, and with difficulty beholding true being; only rises and falls, and sees only the unruliness of the trip.

Philosophy of mind can be taken as the pathway of consciousness that is pressing forward to truth. It can also be regarded as the path of knowledge of self.

Consciousness is knowledge in principle has a negative significance the ruin and overthrow of self; for on this path loses self. But on the contrary, this very same pathway is the insight of unrealized ideas. If we stick to a system of opinion and prejudice resting on the authority of others skepticism, directed to makes mind for the test what is truth is; consciousness, that proceeds straight away to criticize test, scepticism, which always sees in the result only pure nothingness abstracts from this nothing as a result.

Then skepticism which ends with the abstraction "nothing" or "emptiness" can advance from this not a step farther into the same abysmal void. That which is confined to a life is unable to go beyond its immediate existence; but by something other than itself, it is forced beyond that; Consciousness, immediately transcends what is limited, and transcends self.

Consciousness is knowledge in principle has a negative meaning for self the ruin and overthrow of it, the loss of self. Here comes the path of doubt, or more so proper the road of despair. But consciousness, this very same pathway of the principle of knowledge is the insight.

Scepticism makes mind test what is truth is; consciousness, immediately proceeds straight away to criticize, test always sees in the result only pure nothingness abstracts from this nothing as a result. Comes from; it is thus itself a determinate nothing, Consciousness, it also has content transcends what is limited, and transcends self.

Anyone who has not conquered the mysteries of knowledge feeds on opinion. When I was young, I was that type of person who didn’t know anything of language. I Just mimicked other people’s words until Hegel. That is when I would have to look up just about every word. Hegel is difficult I would have to write the meaning of the word down to remember and to permeate them in my mind. Now it is second nature, a habit looking up the meanings.

Hegel fascinated me I had no time to look down upon the affairs of people, or to be filled with malice and envy against each other. My mind ever directed towards Hegel’s ideas, which I saw, were neither injuring another, but all in order moving according to reason; Hegel I imitated as far as I can. Now can a person help imitating that with which they hold reverential converse?


What is the actual acquirement of knowledge? Sight and hearing are inaccurate witnesses. Then when does the mind attain truth? This kind of thinking is best when the mind is gathered into itself and none of worldly things that trouble it, neither sounds nor sights nor pain nor pleasure to aspire after truth? Through reflection comes truth and compassion for other. This is in the soul of everyone and is most good.

In every mind is entangled by chance in the world of appearance and that is the problem, materialism

Zeno rightfully thought eternity is the same thing once and forever. Thought does not belong to quantitative materialism, a meaningless repetitions of the same . Mind has no end, cannot be equated by anything, only can imagine.

Those who endure every action to the end and has a good report carries off the prize of mind. Look at things as they really are and see that in the case of runners, who run well from the starting-place to the end, but not back again from the end: the unfair and go back creeping away. The runner, who finishes, receives the prize, and crown.

Temperance the nature of harmony and the art of controlling of wants and desires; the master is also the servant and the servant the master. This merely means there is a good and also a bad principle in mind and when the better has the worse under control, then it is said to be master of self. Temperance therefore is the rule of the good over the bad. Turns round a day, which is little better than night to day.

I will neither attempt to impose upon you any crafty devices nor by arrogant unimaginative assumption no pretending. I am disincline supreme judges who make it their business to celebrate the talents and virtues of each other and to belittle whatever can come into rivalry with them I never tell any thing but the truth, though not always by the most exquisite perception.


Socrates tells of Homer the tragic poet depicts Achilles always whining and lamenting over the slightest occasions. In one instance he has Achilles lying on his side, then on his back, and then on his face; then starting up and sailing in a frenzy along the shores of the sterile sea; now taking the sooty ashes in both his hands and pouring them over his head, weeping and wailing in the various modes.

I would prefer the undisturbed enjoyment tranquility, to all the vain splendor of successful ambition, often go through life with much more credit than deserve to belittle every truth and turn away from truth. Many they have maimed and disfigured by their meanness.

In heaven there is laid up a blueprint of it, which those who desire may behold, and beholding, may set their own house in order. But whether such an one exists, or ever will exist in fact, is no matter; for I will live after the manner of that city, having nothing to do with any other. The imitative poet reject them they cannot put together truth, but only a semblance that can hardly be truth.

The fault of telling a stretched out truth, and what is more, a bad one is a fault, which is most serious. It makes it impossible knowing and not knowing the face of a friend and of an enemy, they cannot judge.

Whatever I admit to understanding is not merely to persuade my writing talent, which is not always distinct but sincere, I try never to tell anything but truth, though not always exquisite.

My knowledge is formed gradually little by little a discipline that rises to the highest point reachable.

This is my challenge I aim to refute all not with opinion but truth, never stumbling at any step of the argument to define. Knowledge is the natural gift of God look at the movements of the stars and the things in heaven in the perfect manner.

Little things elaborated how absurd! Those who want to see truth must take a long and winding road, Nothing short should satisfy them or lose sight of the higher truth where all things become useful and advantageous good.

Philosophy cultivated for many ages by the most illustrious people, every discussion is a demonstration of the likenesses that was said by them before. I write to permeate and preserve truth or a likeness of which can be found. Truth is the universal author of all things beautiful and right, the parent light in the world.

Hi BB,
Okay, but sooner or later you have to attempt to stop copying? Not that this is not the first step on the path but its not the last ajnd should not last for ever. Or at least that is my opinion.

Hi Arising,

I have written a couple of plays, a memoir, and a batch of short essays that are an account of my personal knowledge but that is not philosophy.

Here in PhilosophyNow Forum I try to state philosophical truth as best I can, not personal opinion.

BB

Philosophy is directed towards eternal truth, this I “copy” as far as I can. Now can a person help copying that with which is so reverent?

Love of knowledge is sheer intelligence and wisdom, insight, and understanding. This pathway I press forward; truth embraces nothing less than the entire realm of consciousness mind inner working and weaving is nothing else than pure reflection and ideality.

Like the sun has stars and planets related to each other in an agreement, holds the stars and planets in one body so too mind. It holds together feelings, perception, reason, will, and thinking. The remarkable thing the mind appears wide-awake but is insensible must be awakened.

Thinking would vanish like dreams without knowledge a person could only feel.

I believe in the axiom “Society will follow the general principle that friends have all things in common.” Knowledge, if started right. moves with collective force like wheel knowledge takes root and this affects all society.

There are two causes of lack of knowledge one is wealth, and the other poverty, both are equally liable to degenerate knowledge. Wealth and poverty, one fosters luxury indolence and the other greed and violent existence, they both cause discontent.

Socrates believed if people would be put to use for which nature has intended them and do; their own business society would be one.

But not every rich person indulges in luxury.
Many go travelling around the world and have to deal with dangers and hardships.
Another example: Prince Charles.
When he was at a boarding school (Eton probably) he woke up and there was snow on his bed. And now he experiments with organic farming and gardening as far as I know.
And some "rich" people are not solvent because their fortunes are in buildings which need to be maintained, so they are like guardians of historic buildings.

And some poor people are at peace with themselves and not greedy.

(the above as a modest attempt to offer a little anti-thesis)
