Socrates believed knowledge makes good people and‹ ‹good people act nobly and conquer their enemies in battle because they are good but victory sometimes produces forgetfulness for many have grown insolent from victory and this insolence has engendered them innumerably evil and many a victory has been and will be suicidal to the‹ ‹victors; but knowledge is never suicidal.

The mind is connected with truth is immortal, self-moving allegory which resembles the united power of the two headed horse vehicle, which implies that it exist in the idea of the beautiful, good and just. This knowledge of the mind is more clearly dealt with in Socrates final days and his death scene was a dialogue told from the perspective of Phased of Ellis, Phaedo relates the dialogue to Echecrates, a fellow philosopher.

Knowledge excludes everything, which is not grasped conceptually by the mind. In all spheres of science and art it takes a considerable amount of time and discipline spent on reason As the charioteer drives a pair of winged horses into the sky, one of them is reason and the other not. The driving of them both gives a great deal of trouble to the charioteer and will fall down if fed upon ignorance and meanness but if fed on knowledge, beauty, and goodness soars upward.

Talent is nothing but self with a definite subjective internal purpose. Only when self comes forward asserts self not just a certainty of one self but its purpose - bare and simple truth. inner essence of being pure comes forward with over against the world. In one-way purpose restless passing hither and thither, merely seeing and grasping without any reason laying in sensation.

I began writing late in life, a return visit to Panama in 1976, I was in my thirties I had liked Panama a lot planed to stay for awhile in the little coastal village off Maria Chiquita on the Atlantic side at least for seven months.

I would sit outside in the back of our house we rented a small seaside town of Maria Chiquita in Panama and write. Looking at the sea I would looked long my eyes would began to close and I would feel a light feeling within. Looking at the sea the over tow waves how lucky I was to be there.

The mind is immortal, that which is ever in motion is immortal must be indestructible. Therefore, can neither be destroyed nor begotten, or else the heaven and all creation would stand still. The eternal and unchangeable mind always loves knowledge of a sort, which shows not varying from generation and corruption.

Talent is the same in every use of language; this is an art, not thrown down anyhow not just what comes to mind, not rhetoric that has no principle.

That's beautiful Barbara. I like hearing about your experiences.

Artisticsolution,

That experience was a real eye opener.

I saw sought the noblest pursuit there philosophy and became absorbed in the pleasure in public or private life.

The sweetness of knowledge , this endeavor the most important thing in my entire world. Freethinking is pure knowledge and there can be nothing so remote that freethinkers cannot reason.

The very fact knowledge comes on the scene liberates the pathway of purpose pressing forward to truth is a phenomena which the most finished picture takes a long and more circuitous journey for nothing imperfect is the measure of anything, never stop short purpose

Talent is likewise, nothing but self with a definite subjective internal purpose to actualization. Talent is only a content of purpose does not go beyond that, therefore we cannot know whether what happens is not a chance accident.

Socrates believed there is laid out a blueprint of philosophy for those who desire to behold in the heavens. Whether such a blueprint exists on earth, or ever will exist in fact is no matter; live after that manner, have nothing to do with any other sets mind in order nourishe it isthe divine gift and blessing granted us.

When philosophy reaches public understanding will it have value.There is perfection that all philosophy ought to reach and which all students ought to attain to and not to fall short.

Dialectic philosophy is the copingstone of all knowledge, the final addition of education, and is considered a great advantage in all spheres of science and art. However, it takes a considerable amount of time spent in learning and discipline. But, just let those other sciences try as much as they like to get along without philosophy, they would be unable to have any spiritual significance and truth.

What is truth but an assurance of being? The inner self comes forward with the world over against it. . Sun, moon and earth flock together and present we terrestrial beings, The inner continuity is crystallization a silent activity seen through and through, shapes and links together all the essential inner imperturbable different parts.

Spinoza Indisputably wrote the greatest work on Ethics believed knowledge is oneness of thought. Through a higher sense, Descartes believed knowledge is science.

In all arts, sciences, and knowledge numbers are necessary, and used in common, and which every one first has to learn among the elements of education, one two, and three.

the intellectual world is through the medium of sight or touch, or of another senses. From the senses derive all that sensible. What is great and what is small arises from the distinction of the visible and the intelligible. Arithmetic and calculation lead the mind toward these truths. What is great and what is small arises when there is some contradiction and one is the reverse of one and involves the conception of plurality. Then thinking begins to be aroused within me, and my mind is perplex and wanting to arrive at a resolution of what is absolute unity? This inquiry draws me and converts me to the contemplate true being.

Turn and gaze towards the full perfection of numbers and behold not in a narrow manner of squaring and extending and applying and the like, that narrow mindedness only confuses the necessities of them. The best learning natures should be trained and never given up. Geometry is second, because it compels mind to view more easily the vision of the idea of good where there is full perfection of being and which everyone ought to behold. Not in a narrow squaring, extending and applying but seen with the mind only for the sake of truth.

Here is the release of the prisoner from the chains, from shadows to light not vainly with weak eyes merely seeing the images in the water and shadows of true existence.

Here we have the power of elevating the highest principle in mind to the contemplation that which is best in existence, can be I compared to the very light of the body to the see that which is brightest in the material and visible world.

And those of you who have a natural talent for computing are generally quick at every kind of skill; but even those not so quick and have arithmetical training become much quicker than they would otherwise have been. Therefore, numbers may be truly called necessary for the attainment of skills. Arithmetic’s and geometry are a kind of knowledge in which the best learning natures should be trained in and never give up the study.

Anyone who is inexperienced in truth has wrong ideas about many things. They also have wrong ideas about pleasure and pain and society. So when drawn towards pain thinks the experience to be truth, and when drawn away from pain thinks that they have reached pleasure; but they are merely distinguishing black with grey instead of white. Pleasures are mixed with pain are mere shadows and pictures of truth.

Numbers attain truth not in a narrow manner of squaring and extending. Or applying and the like, only confuses.

Arithmetic is a talent too compels the mind to knowledge about things has a very elevating effect. Math may be truly called necessary for the use of philosophers should be trained and which must not be given up.

Socrates believed a study more difficult is Geometry compels mind to view the vision of the idea of good; all things tend to good. Geometry compels the mind to turn and gaze towards that place where full perfection of essence ought to behold.

Mathematics, Geometry numbers are necessary in all arts and sciences and intelligences, they are used in common, and which every one first has to learn among the elements of education a little matter of distinguishing one, two, and three In a word, numbers and calculation.

The sphere of fortuitous sense. How one number has more meaning then the other or a particularizing numbers making one to have more intelligence than the other belongs essentially to It depends entirely on the individual who is using them, and who is says that numbers by such and such number influences on such and such cause, circumstance, situation, custom, and so on have no truth. Individuals adopt these various attitudes with a view of themselves and their habits, and ways of thinking and come across, as being true; by its own activity is bent on its own affections, and emotions, carries off numbers and makes certain numbers special moment of certain individuals.

Numbers have a rational and a necessary function to fulfill. Their essential nature lies in the universal element of laws Numbers consist in the laws of thought. Cannot to be transformed and transmuted without knowledge
Through. Knowledge comes truth and compassion; this is in the soul of everyone and is most good.

Truth is framed by the mind, tested by the senses. We mortal have a beginning and an end, but our soul can neither be destroyed nor begotten. We must quit the senses in order to behold reason is in company with the senses therefore unfortunately we cannot have pure knowledge. Let's we can make the nearest approach when we are not saturated with bodily feelings.

Knowledge leads to truth where all other things become useful and advantageous. Its essential principle embraces nothing less than the entire scheme of consciousness or more so virtue of consciousness.

If well educated we grow into sensible people and will easily see our way through all events, as well as matters such as marriage, equal rights and child bearing will always follow as the proverb says he principle that friends have all things in common.

In music we gain the habit of good order and with this habit of good order will accompany them in all their actions and be a principle of growth to them. If there be any fallen places in the society will raise them up again in which education starts. When modes of music change, also the fundamental laws of the Society always change with them.

To make a society virtuous is justice, No doubt justice is somewhere here: we must struggle to catch sight of it, if you see it first, let me know, we don’t want it to creep away, escape out of sight. Justice has no path little light and is mystifying; we go about looking for it when it is in our hands therefore we miss it failing to recognize it.

This apprehensiveness I feel is sure to pass into confidence and I continue to follow my conviction. Skepticism brings about despair, thoughts, and opinions, and that follows straight away to criticism. Most see knowledge as a mere negative process but knowledge transcends what is limited, and transcends one’s own self-consciousness. The Consciousness remains always unthinking sluggishness, that is why thought knowledge agitates our consciousness, disturbs its indolence is violated at the hands of reason.

Truth is related to knowledge and affirmed as the aspect of being applied an accepted standard that decides whether which is right or wrong. But the phenomenal of knowledge or more so the essential of knowledge is sheer intelligence and the criterion is not truth, but wisdom, insight, understanding, and perception.

This pathway to knowledge is the truth of consciousness. The truth which consciousness has concerning it can by its essential principle embrace nothing less than the entire system of consciousness. That truth is set forth not as abstract, but as conscious in virtue of consciousness.
Therefore, I press forward to the true form of being me lay aside what is foreign to me; conscious becomes identified with this very stage proper of mind. When, finally I grasp the truth.
