A Philosophy of Mind

[Barbara Brooks]

Look at the sky in night it looks blue but atmosphere that makes it that way, if there were no atmosphere, the sky would be black. The atmosphere is full of vapors so the sky looks colored blue. If on mountaintop high where the air is purer, the sky is black.

The primary colors, yellow, blue and red have an immediate darkness, look at the color green it is obtained by mixture, Between yellow and blue the simplest colors lay red and green. Red, to which blue and yellow can be intensified; yellow is intensified into red by a darker tinge and blue when given a lighter tinge turns red. Red, the dominant color is this active powerful color that is the extreme intensity of both yellow and blue. Green is the common neutrality of yellow and blue when they coincide, as we see the color of plants. Red and green corresponds to fire and water, is the mediating colors. In a meadow, where nothing but green is seen and the sky is clear, the trunk of the trees and the path have a reddish sheen. If a stick of red sealing wax is laid on a piece of paper and I stare at it for some time then look away I see a green object.

There are many other phenomenon’s that appears everywhere in the whole horizon. Such as the darkening through the cube glass are at the four corners colored rings, further, if the corners background is white, coloring gives first the rise of yellow, but if the corners background is black the coloring is blue depending on the pressure is called the alteration of cohesion. For example, a lens is pressed on a glass plate is at first seen one color, but as the pressure is increased the color spreads out into a number of rings of different colors.

Prisms are a wonderful way to consider color. Brightness is white is not yet color, darkness is black materialized not yet color. Color lies between these extremes, by the combination of light and darkness. This is always the way; opaque glass is yellow or red when held up against the sun and blue when held against the ground or any dark background. If I place in a wine glass a piece of black paper on one side of the glass and on the other side a white piece of paper, the glass will appear blue and yellow.

We sentient creature have a high privilege of having a voice which can be wonderful in its utterance of self-feeling, reveals that which is in self. We can show outwardly that our feelings, by emitting cries when feeling pain, need, hunger, repletion, or pleasure. In heat horses neigh, insects hum, cats purr. A higher kind of voice are from bird swhen they launch forth in song. Soaring freely in the air birds separate from the heaviness of the earth, utter their self-feeling.

True metals have sound but this is not voice. Voice is a spiritual mechanism, whereas metals do not show specific quality until they are struck. Animals sounds theirown accord, announces its spiritual nature in vibrating inwardly causing the air to vibrate.

[Barbara Brooks]

We sentient creatures are ideally free from gravity, we spontaneously determine our place and we display free self-movement and we feel ; Self for self that is the absolute characteristic feature of self.

Sensation is the supreme wealth of self because in it everything is reduced to feeling, seeing and hearing, for example. In seeing and hearing, we are simply in communion with self, We sentient creatures have a speculative contemplating relationship with the world, we relate to it as something ideal, and free. we can stand on our own distinguishes ourtselves from nature, but though we can not escape from gravity.


The universe an ordered and harmonious system gravity is the determinate of all material bodies in the solar system the first group of independent bodies that are in an essential relationship with each other. Where cohesion is the relationship of one and another form the turns and expresses independence, dwelling together.

Gravity is the power which brings the pendulum to rest the oscillation terminates into the direction of falling. . The moment of gravity, both at the same time falling and thrusting. Thrusting is the deviation from the direction of falling.

The phenomenon of waterless moon strives as it was united with the sea the ebb and flow of the tides. The sea rises to escape toward the moon. The moon akin to earth snatches the ocean away into itself.

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

It is hard for me understand why tomorrow NASA is going to bomb the moon.

[Barbara Brooks]

Everything is in motion. Earth rotates around its axis and has its centre outside it. Thus, earth is dependent on both sun and moon rules. It expresses itself as an alteration of place. Earth syllogism presents the whole total unity of sun and moon motions.

The alteration of the seasons and of the day and night and the transition from waking and sleeping is life on the Earth.

Earth rotates around these two motions; absolute center and relative center are dependent on a relationship of one and other and by changing position expresses the routine.

This unity is a syllogism, self relating to other, which presents Earth as a component of the alteration of seasons and day and night, the transition from waking to sleep.

The viewing celestial movements the relation of earth and its reciprocal sides,cometary’s and moon is never over what is set down are the rational comprehensive fundamentals .

[Barbara Brooks]

Sunlight relate to earth only on the surface. If earth surface were smoothed earth would be only a mere gleam or shining image of something other. The same as placing two mirrors opposite each other between lights, the light becomes visible in the mirror, each mirror the image is only a reflection in the other.

Sunlight brightens up earth and makes it visible; the most important characteristic of light is its gleam, or shining of something other then itself. Earth consequently is perpetually ignited and incited by sunlight because it earth has rough, smooth, and pointed surfaces and this causes light and shade to arise.

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 without process. A void. The sun mounting higher and higher is daytime and when it reaches its highest point sinks to its lowest is nighttime.


Sunlight does not fill space; it is only present in space as pure universal actuality has the possibility of unifying with all things it enters into community with. It affirms everything, illuminates outside, brightens up earth, and makes things visible.

The world is like a hollowed out place above the ground and we see only shadows by sunlight on the opposite part of this hollowed out place. Look in our selves and know what is truth. Through truth comes compassion. This is in the mind of everyone and is most good. First we perceive shadows, then images and last truth, not image like truth, but truth that gives the seasons, and years, and names for all things; not opinion, not shadows, not disputing about truth with tainted eyes, and make no good attempt to go beyond the opinions of shadows.

[Barbara Brooks]

Philosophy is forever directed towards absolute all in order moving according to reason; these philosophers imitate and to these they as far as can follow. Now how can a person not help imitating that with which they holds so reverential?


Philosophy draws the mind from becoming to being is knowledge which all arts and sciences and intelligences use in common, and which every person first has to learn among the elements of the little matter of distinguishing one, two, and three --in a word, numbers and calculations: knowledge appears to me to be a study of the kind which I am seeking, and which leads naturally to reflection, but never to have been rightly used; for the true use of it is simply to draw the mind towards being.

[Barbara Brooks]

Descartes conceived we cannot comprehend the Infinite nor even reach in any way; nature is finite and limited, it is sufficient that we should understand our ignorance.

Not shadowed like Helen at Troy in ignorance of the truth. They were too, busy looking down stooping to the earth, passions mixed with pains living a mere shadowed life.

[Barbara Brooks]

One must to be wise to be virtuous, must be valiant, temperate, and just. Socrates has laid out a pattern of the perfect philosopher for those who desire may see and may set self in that order. Whether such perfection exists, or ever will exist, no matter live after that manner. The master is also the slave and the slave the master which merely means that in the mind there is good and bad principles; and when the better has the worse under control, then it is said to be the master of self the ruler of good over bad.

He looked at the matter like this: --Hunger, thirst, and the like, are mannerisms of the bodily state? And ignorance and folly are mannerisms of the mind and of the different kinds of virtue. What is esteemed noble and ignoble? The noble subjects the beast to human and the ignoble subjects the human to the beast?'

Look at self and take heed that no disorder occur in it, such as might that arises either from overabundance or from want.

Wisdom, courage, temperance, and justice are virtues. If we grow into wise people easily we will see our way through all circumstances, such as marriage, equal rights and child bearing. Always follow the proverb that friends have all things in common.

[Barbara Brooks]

Astronomy is the study of the universe especially of motion, position, size, composition, and behavior of the heavens.

Kepler was a mathematician and astronomer divided the law of motion into rule that displays a group of independent bodies essential to each other.

Without earth's connection to the sun and moon, it would be devoid of life, day and night, and of heat and cold. Look how the sun h moves higher and higher in daytime and when it reaches, its highest point sinks to night,

[Barbara Brooks]

To understand life one must do away with hypothesis by approaching life in a partly practical and partly theoretical manner.

First, to go direct the principle of matter the core of life, its ideal universal intimate oneness and path of return define rationally

Life its complex beauty cannot be grasp because of all the perpetual actions, wherever there are opposites, inner and outer, cause, and effect, and means subjectivity-objectivity there is life.


The best things of life are grasped by theory the release from chains, the elevation to the highest principle to contemplate the analogy of life, unites all determinations together within like a bouquet bound together as a vital process.


As Minerva fully armed springs forth from the head of Jupiter the mind alone is capable of assuring that what I see is good is the unconscious observer mind perceives nothing more than thinking of what is now.

Little things elaborated how ridiculous! Nothing short of the most finished picture, the highest life worthy of attaining is good. Only the good become useful and advantageous. The highest virtue everyone pursues it and makes it the end of all actions will shine radiant is the idea of good.

[Barbara Brooks]

The starry heaven must be apprehended by reason and intelligence. The true astronomer looks at the movements of the stars. Know that God frames the heaven and the things in heaven in perfect manner. The starry heavens should be used as an outline a view to higher knowledge, these beauties of figures excellently wrought.

Astronomy and geometry is the study the proportions of night and day, the month, or of the month to the year, or of the stars to these and to one another, and any other things that are eternal.

Geometry aims at absolute, the not perishing or in transient flight, nothing should be more sternly laid down than geometry, it can have indirect effects and which are not small.

[Barbara Brooks]

Life has three determinations the geological organism, the vegetable organism and the animal organism. First the corpse of life-process is the geological stage, second, Plant Nature; of living organism are particular individuals. Third the animal stages are subjective organisms.

[Barbara Brooks]

The geological determination is the basis of life, on one side stands solid individuality, on the other side the process. This basis of life is not an active life, opposite the process of life.

Geological life is the non-organic nature not a living organism it is the form of the organism, or the frame.
Here life lies in the past, that nature has left behind as the Earth connects with the solar system, therein its inclination of Earth's course and magnetic axis.

It is true earth is totality but only implicitly affirmed as not affirmed, Earth resoles itself does not exist as a living organism subjective moment but it is the shape of the whole universal frame.

[Barbara Brooks]

An excellent illustration of Earth is it ties together the elements air fire and water into a series of procedures. One being the meteorological, the study of the earth’s atmosphere, the process affirms the unity of elements, air, fire and water in the form of barometric index level.

Here demonstrates changes are inside the terrestrial earth. For example, earth attracts the atmosphere either more or less; the higher level of the barometric level puts an end to the forming of water and the lower level permits the form of water. The higher the level is a greater tension of earth inward spirit of life.

Life form is produced at the expense of nature, through a process, we are subject to air, fire, water, earth, for they are the roots of individuality.

Goethe found that the distinction of the atmosphere level is simultaneous compared reading from the same latitude on different meridians in Europe, America, and Asia. He also found that trade winds are constant east winds in the tropics, 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 atmosphere usually stands at the same level.

[Barbara Brooks]

Unfortunately, earth is looked upon at as a drop in the ocean of infinity a mere quantitative component of life. Earth is perpetually ignited and incited by sunlight and this causes light and shade to arise on its rough, smooth, and pointed surface. Earth does not produce itself; it is the vivifying and fructifying of the earth meteorological or atmospheric process.
Earth has the power, which kindles the elements into process, creates, and preserves, a generation, and a perennial activity. Has the power, which kindles the elements into process,

Earth surface temperature and atmospheric process is perpetually ignited and incited by the sun, it absorbs energy from the sun and radiates this energy into space sustaining a constant temperature. Earth radiates energy into space at the same rate that it absorbs energy from the sun.

Life is subject of the atmospheric process, earth is inert cannot fructify itself into vitality only by the atmosphere.

In the earth life perpetually erupts, lichens, infusoria and in the sea where countless host of phosphorescent life. These truly living organisms are other then geological organisms, for here earth is fertility as ground and the basis of all individuality and vitality.

The atmosphere is a mixture of gases crucial for the survival of life. Of the four Elements, air is a universal ideality of everything that is other to it and where everything particular is destroying. Fire is the same but reveals the form of being-for-self an existent ideality. Water is passive neutrality. The fourth Element earth, characteristic is distinct from the air, fire, and water. Earth is developed being, a distinctive property and holds together all the other elements; gathering them into unity into a series of events which earth maintains.

The being of earth, are the surface, climate, plant, animal, and human life. Its particular formation separates into water and land into continents and islands shaping and crystallizing of into valleys and mountains. These solid structures do not possess life, they are inorganic and purely mechanical formation, in general the land is split into two parts, the old world and the new world. In the old world, the mountain ranges run, from west to east overall, or southwest or northwest. Differnet in the new world mountain ranges run north and south; but the rivers flow to the east on the whole.
