perfect in form and possessed by every one, is offered to everyone, and made plain for all is knowledge.
I know the eyes do see both small and great certainly, but only in a bewildered manner not distinguished. The mind naturally summons the aid of calculation and intelligence.
Whereas mind looks at small and great as individual not confused as eyesight, here arises the distinction of the visible and the logical world. Is that which is light heavy? This invites thought; when there is some contradiction present, and one is the reverse of one this involves the conception of plurality, thought is aroused within the mind and wants to know the answer.

Such deeper conceptions reigned in earlier times but we cannot rest with them alone. Look back to the epoch that took place years ago. There is a generation the same as there are generations of plants and in anything that there is opposition generated out of opposition. I mean opposites such as just and unjust, good and evil, and the innumerable other opposites that generated out of opposites.

The infinite spiritual elation moves along the highway of truth is itself the inspiration of profound and creative ideas a bursts of higher scientific insight that can only be won by the laborious philosophy.

That is my chief aim in carrying on here, my own improvement but at the same time, I do not grudge others any benefit, which they may read.

Air arouses and rules earth. We are subject to the atmospheric process. Earth is inert, cannot fructify into vitality alone but by air the atmospheric process. At every point in earth life perpetually erupts incited from the sun earth absorbs and radiates this energy into a constant temperature.

The study of earth, the surface, climate, plant and animal life formation, also, how earth separates into water and land into continents and islands shaping and crystallizing of valleys and mountains. Earth routinely changes position around the sun and moon. The unity is a syllogism the alteration of seasons and day and night, and transition from waking to sleeping. Earth is an inorganic solid structure, pure formation, inner continuity through and through links together all the different parts.

In general, earth is split into two parts, the old world, and the new world. The old world, the mountain ranges overall run, from west to east, or southwest or northwest. New world mountain ranges in north and south; and the rivers flow to the east overall. Earth owes its shape to fire that is why stratification and species of rocks is called volcanism. The other vital principle water for it creates and preserves perennial activity. Water is ground and basis of fertility and vitality. Water and Earth invade air into an atmospheric process, resolving water and earth into volatilize odors.

An ethical society maintains itself by being thoughtful and preserves a spirit of the entire society, collectively as pure spirit outside individualism and family. This unconscious spirit rises out of heartlessness into a conscious one spirit for all, and this constitutes the element of divine and human law without opposition to one another, an absolute unbroken a sense of security and fulfillment known to every conscious being.

Ethical society you will find people who are duty-bound encouraged doing their own work in the best way. This is justice where the whole society will grow up in a fine order, and receive happiness which nature assigns to them.


The deterioration of societies is two causes of society are likely to go downhill, wealth and poverty. Under either poverty or wealth, both create discontent; one is laziness, and the other lacking. For example, when an artist becomes rich no longer do they take the same time with their art, they become more and more idle and careless by being rich? Whereas artist who has no money and cannot provide the tools or instruments needed it’s work deteriorates too. The doubt of the artist even when they study with the greatest talent they cannot create something new.

Enlightenment is called the unconscious inner working and weaving of purpose. It is nothing else than pure conscious self. It is that inner reality without knowledge meaning just pure ideality, sheer implicit force within self.



Hegel believed what makes purpose complete is belief, because purpose itself cannot be felt is simply undifferentiated self-conscious ideal, which has no support, cannot stand alone, or conditioned because purpose is sheer ideal.

Look at self-purpose within take heed that no disorder occur, such as which may arise; and regulate according to richness or poorness. Purpose will make a better person whether rich or poor. When the mind aspiring after true being none of worldly things can trouble it, neither sounds nor sights nor pain nor pleasure.


Purpose must not be taken as if it were mere idea or act of service. Nor should we think that it produces any kind of achievement, it is a spirit, an immediate truth, through purpose comes about feeling and devotion.

The high privilege of being utters self-feeling that reveals that which is inward and reveals a voice.

Voice is not sound as in metal sound when they are struck or rubbed. Voice is spiritual can be wonderful in its utterance of self-feeling. Voice is a spiritual mechanism. Now metals sound but do not show a specific quality until it is stimulated from outside; get struck. Our subjective voice sounds its own accord, announces a spiritual nature by vibrating inwardly causing the air in us to vibrate. That which is inward for self reveals a voice that utters self-feeling outwardly.

Sound are tones produced by vibration. Tones are akin to feeling, being either pleasant or unpleasant.
Tones are dependent on differences, or inconsistency, distance and tension. Depend on differences, for example by carrying the string over a bridge attached to a instrument, the shorter the string, the more vibration it performs. In wind instruments, the shorter the pipe in which a column of air is made to vibrate, the higher the tone. Harmony is based on feeling at ease, comfortable, and passionate.

The ear requires through a series of notes that ascend and descend by equal intervals, combined with the harmonic triad yields a scale. These two principles are not in exact agreement thereby acquiring an inner diversity. Harps are a perfect example of harmonic; equal distribution of the inequalities.

Metals do sound but they do not show a specific quality like voice, sound only when struck. Voice is a spiritual nature vibrating inwardly causing the air in us to vibrate into voice; a spiritual mechanism is revealed, meaning, the inner being coming into existence.

This phenomenon of sound is hard to grasp; it took me years to reach this point of understanding sound because it varies causing it to be difficult to exhibit. The particular sound strictly speaking, is revealed through instruments that have their own specific sound. The inner oscillation of is capable of giving out a sound in two ways, by friction and vibration. Vibration is the moving to and fro, an elasticity and friction sound is noise, badly made instruments you hear clatter.

Come rise out of the state of unconsciousness into a world that exalts ideas great, away from negative viewpoints. The world of thinkers has been advanced before; knowledge has power the natural gift of knowledge is the instrument of the thinker knowing comes on the scene and liberates self to carry out purpose. Lodged in the mind as a pilot is knowledge wholly directed toward truth and, which cares little for gain or fame knowledge contains everything, which gives in all things certainty by means of exercising purpose.

Purpose is a kind of enlightenment is nothing else than the inner reality of pure consciousness, without judgment; pure ideal pure thought within self. What makes purpose complete is belief,


When self comes forward asserts not just a certainty of self but pure inner essence of being comes forward with the world over against it is in one-way restlessness passing hither and thither, seeing, grasping in the other way purpose. Pure implicit thought within self is purpose has no actuality only pure reality, or more so inner spirit within self.



Then purpose opposition is inner self, it abolishes it, and makes objective being. Purpose goes beyond self to perform nothing can stop it: goes beyond all that sort of thing that

After I finished reading “Hegel’s Phenomenology of Spirit,” I had this desire to write philosophy for the ordinary person. I promised myself the next book I received I would give it a try writing what I think Hegel means. The next book was Hegel’s Philosophy of Nature, translated by A.V. Miller. A fellow worker gave it to me he found it in a library. He knew how I loved Hegel saw the book with a batch of other books piled high in a trash bin a sign said they be disposed of that day.

Keep hold of purpose until made actual; Refuse to be led astray by opinion go beyond self to perform purposeful act; no feelings remorse can stop it, all that sort of feeling arises from opinions. Purpose is the centrality that passes out of hypotheses into nothing more than pure insight a kind of illumination called the unconscious inner working and weaving of the intellectual world. Thus, pure ideal implicit thought is simply pure self-consciousness complete.

Hegel believed purpose is having a moral justification. Not like happiness or good fortune are distinguished from well being. Happiness implies no more than some sort of immediate existence whereas well being is abstract and as appertaining to a single particular action.

What keeps us in bondage; is the chain, from which we cannot get away from working and actualizing. Labor has not only positive significance but that becomes purposeful, becomes something through work. Purpose is preyed upon, shoved against by doubt, this is the road of purpose where agitates doubt, disturbs the unthinking sluggish lazy mind.

Everybody has divine purpose dwelling within that rules him or her. Purpose agitates thoughtlessness it disturbs idleness, which suffers at the hands of purpose. Idleness is the road of uncertainty, or more so called desolation.





If I myself believed that I knew what I was talking about: declaring the truth about matters of such high interest, which people honor and love. I have most need to be sure of footing and pray I do. For I do indeed believe that to do, an involuntary crime is a less crime than to be a deceiver about beauty good justice and such.

In mind render purpose clear and intelligible it can take a gloomy outlook toward the world and turns it round into a bright outlook.

Hegel believed thought within self has purpose and what a highly astonishing phenomenon inner spirit within. Purpose is the unconscious inner working and weaving inner pure ideal implicit thought. Therefore look within "Know Thy self " and you will know truth the mirror image of self and compassion for others.

Through a mirror image comes objective truth, or in other words the assurance of self? Know thy self comes forward asserts not just belief of self but purpose. Purpose overcome by feelings, one bids and the other forbids, like watching an archer pushing and pulling the bow at the same time, one hand pushes and the other pulls therefore, truth falls into a contradiction a twofold nature.

Desires can prevail over reason like any struggle of division are two and differ from one another; the one called the purpose the other, feelings desires, pleasures and satisfactions. At times, they go to war as though purpose and desire were two distinct things.

Purpose is nothing else than what is called the inner working and weaving of self. Thus this inner consciousness is mere pure ideal has no actuality only inner ideality, cannot stand alone has no support no inherent standpoint just mere ideality.

When truth is captain self-control follows and is most good. Through a mirror image comes truth and reveals the path of purpose.

Those who forsake purpose while they run fast, and good travels very slowly may yet make far greater progress, provided they keep always to purpose straight road.

To move in pursuit of what interests or what should interest you is purpose. It renders things clear and intelligible works and actualizes, and brings to bear in other words; purpose brings to light and establishes something good and eternal.

What makes purpose complete is belief because reason is nothing else than pure inner reality, the ultimately simple pure ideal being, or pure thought within self; sheer implicit power within.

Belief is held the test of purpose, truly is by which progress through the complete succession the actuality comes about. In everyone there are two guiding ruling principles, desire and belief, they aspire after the good; contain self-concrete and actual, which manifest a free and independent consciousness. Purpose fills the empty self is disposed in mind renders clear and intelligible self seeking to become free can be compared with the centre such as two poles one pointing north, while the other points south like magnetism.

See set before us purpose, real universal conscious spirit, linked together with divine law; here spirit comes to actuality, and rises to the conscious universal spirit of divine and human law.

The philosopher should know truth even if the way is long and circuitous don’t fret for where the end is great takeas a longer road. Don’t try to please any one but God. The pleasure of philosophy is a pursuit ever learning is more so not so far from heaven’s pleasure or rather I should say desired sweetness.


God mingles in all arts as the go-between who crosses the gulf and all is bound. In affect writing and all art is an action both divine and human. Through a mirror of self comes truth and compassion of other and reveals the path of purpose. What is truth but objective reality, in other words, the assurance of self?

Bare and simple truth comes forward asserts not just certainty of self but purpose. Look at Zeno of Elea who created an art of dialogue by which he made the same things appear to his hearers, like and unlike, one and many, at rest and in motion. He was able to demonstrate likeness of everything to which a likeness can be found, and drew into the light of day likenesses and unlikeness that are used by all. His dialogue is the same in every language.

Thrasymachus described language to be easy or hard by showing how one particular form of argument persuades and another does not persuade able to say what is acceptable to God and always to act acceptably to God as far as can.

Because society has fallen into such disorder citizens roaming wildly unfettered it becomes the task of lovers of knowledge to reawaken mind spirit, which has been buried ethical order, meaning the immediate consciousness of one and other living together shaping and preserving by the labor for universal ends.

Ethics spirituality as it dominates action of community setting outside the family, has toward living in and for the universal end; must not be taken as a mere act of service nor must we think ethical is a process of knowledge. It must be substantial in character and universal that lifts self out of the life of chance and change, into world peace, universality. It is only as citizens that we are real substantial universal being. This takes effect no doubt within the ethical community but takes labor in attaining a stage of independent self-existence.

Musical training is the most effective instrument of a philosopher, because rhythm and harmony find their way imparts grace. Socrates believed music is just as learning to read, we cannot perceive them as unimportant, but to be everywhere eager to make them known. When we know music we become and 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 The spirit of harmony, the fairest is also the loveliest.

Knowledge and understanding exists in mind already all images dwelling are imprinted in mind by senses. Mind is supreme ruler, autonomous, self-determining, feeling, perceiving, reasoning, willing, and reflects that determines logically relationship with humankind.

Remarkable the mind, feels, perceives, reasons, wills and thinks are the moments of , consciousness, self-consciousness, reason, and spirit moving process belong to knowing, assuming, appropriating and adopting a distinctive form developed in each consciousness. Reason is actual spirit that pervades and permeates all aspects of being, it belongs to each individual is a spirit in real truth when consciousness and self-consciousness have come to terms.

Look at the things framed in the most perfect manner are useful and advantageous by reason.

The hypothesis of one and many, also what will be the consequences to each. If likeness is or is not, either cases of generation and destruction of being and not being are the very hypothesis of Zeno .

In order to see objects as one or other naturally we must summoned to mind calculation and intelligence. These invite visible and intelligible thought. if absolute and unity could be understood by sight or by any of the other senses there would be no need for knowledge, but since there is always some contradiction present, one the reverse of one involves the conception of plurality.

Geometry draws the mind towards truth and creates the spirit of philosophy, it compels philosophers to view what dominates the action of all conscious life. Not in a narrow manner but drawing the mind toward truth and knowledge. Numbers is of the intellect; not like a merchant, with a view of buying or selling but with the mind only and for the sake of truth. Through Geometry comes about universality and reverent devotion to one another a real world spirit.

When music changes also the fundamental laws of the society always change with them.

Therefore know thy self is the faculty of thought skillfully disposed in mind with a purpose above hypotheses.

In mind is imprinted by the intervention of senses a power upon which we think rationally either in public or private life. A conscious universal purpose dominates thought, a universality that lifts out of a life of chance and mere revolution, into a substantial character. In poverty or sickness, or any other seeming misfortune god has care of any one whose desire is to become just and good, as far as a person can attain virtue?

Socrates believed the just and unjust are truly known to god; one must certainly be a friend and the other an enemy? And the friend of god receives all things good, excepting evil as a necessary consequence of former sins?

Happiness depends upon the better element self-control leads to order and purpose. Now is their any greater blessing than friendship and the pleasure that burst with purpose.
Self control is not courage or wisdom, courage is valiant and the other wise. Self control extends and runs through all the notes of the scale, and produces a harmony in original form does the utmost to maintain harmony of self.

Philosophers follow in the train of Zeus who beheld the beatific vision and most blessed state of innocence, That was a time beauty shining in brightness before any experience of evils to come, innocent and simply calm and happy.

The philosopher is like a flower who has proper nurturing grows and matures but if planted in poor soil becomes the most noxious of weeds unless preserved by some higher power. Philosophy is somewhat more divine than any other learning. There is a perfection, which ought to be reached, and that all students of philosophy ought to attain. Only then will the pursuit of philosophy have any value or profit, only then will the spirit of society work its way out of apathy and insensitivity.

Those who are curious to learn and never satisfied may be justly called philosophers. The many people who think philosophy is useless maybe right, but blame the uselessness to the fault of those who will not use it not philosophy the noblest pursuit of all.
