A Philosophy of Mind

[Barbara Brooks]

It is justice that has the most complete mastery over the whole human being, clearly wiser and better than injustice. Justice conveys harmony, friendship and truth of fellow human beings, but injustice creates division and hate and fighting.

Division, hating, and fighting are the destruction of tyrants nothing else will but the corruption of them. Why? Because mind the fairest of masterpieces cannot be mixed of numerous erupting blemishes but reason.

Justice has the same principles like the higher, lower, and middle notes of the scale; it is entirely a harmonious condition.

An experienced musician hears the second harmony of the fundamental and its double harmony. The ear requires through a series of notes that ascend and descend by equal intervals, combined with the harmonic triad yields of a scale Thus notes are heard by the whole numbers are harmonic. If g is harmonic, then d is the fifth; but if b is harmonic, then d is the third and if a then harmonic is the fourth. Harps perfect harmonic have been invented to remedy any confusion and makes the equal distribution of the inequalities.

Sound affects our innermost feelings and because of it our inner self is revealed, the self of individuality, meaning, and inner being coming into existence. Being either pleasant or unpleasant is akin to sensation, consistency, distance, and tension.

Whereas harmony is based on ease, comfort, feeling and passion, what is interesting is how can harmony depends on numbers.
Harmony is based on the fundamental ideal two.

Observe harmony is primarily those based on the number two example is in a string instrument. Half the string vibrates to the upper octave is the fundamental. If the lengths of two strings are in ratio of 2:3 it performs three vibrations in the same time as the other two perform, therefore the shorter string.


Sounds by vibration are tones, and when two strings perform at the same time it is harmony that occurs, disharmony produces only noise.

[Barbara Brooks]

Voice which can be wonderful in its utterance of self-feeling. That which is inward for itself has a voice. We sentient creatures show outwardly our feelings, we emit cries when in pain, need, hunger, pleasure, joyfulness, in heat horses neigh, insects hum, cats purr.

The voice is that of the bird when it launches forth in song. Therefore, we sentient creatures contain a relationship with the outside world. What makes excites are emotion exists outside of us, equally the determinateness of our feelings. In a conscious, awaken state there is reflection into self, a sensibility that differentiates itself into the many sensory approaches to the world.

Now metals, especially precious metals give out a clear sound, on the other hand, a cracked metal bell you hear an impure sound, or noise. The phenomenon of sound is hard to grasp, because sound varies so much causes it to be difficult to exhibit. The emergence of sound of inner body is produced in two ways, by friction and vibration. Vibration is the moving to and fro, is elasticity. Friction is when body is rubbed it’s corresponding sound is noise, thus in badly made instruments you hear clatter. Vibration properly speaking is freely determined by resilience is unhindered inner reverberation.

The particular sound you produce depends on your cohesion and place. Sound can only be revealed through instruments that have their own specific inner vibration that is capable of giving out a sound. For example, metals have their own specific sound, like the sound of silver and brass; different substances emit different sounds.

Chladni observed, sounds produced by vibration are tones, such as, whalebone emits a, tin, b, silver, d, cologne pipes, e, copper, g, glass, c.
Sound itself can shatter or fusser an object can in fact shatter glass by a sharp cry. It is the ideal ideality, repelling of an outer force, the oscillation of negation of the material specific subsistence. The body displaying itself specifically preserves itself, but this is self-preservation only one aspect of being. Sound is only the abstract, is only a conditioned individuality.

Voice is a spiritual mechanism, whereas metals do not show their specific quality until they are stimulated from outside; meaning they get struck. We animals sound our own accord; announce our spirituality by vibrating inwardly causing the air within to vibrate. Our own activity makes our body organism vibrate into voice.

An outside impact affects our feelings. Sound the inner being comes into existence. We sound our own accord; we announce our own spiritual natures inside to vibrate. Our own activity is what makes our body vibrate into voice lies in our power.

The mind is alive and its internal organs are determined in these particular forms, are determined by the idea and by this particularity. This determination diffuses through every part of the animal structure and harmonizes the parts with one another.

[Barbara Brooks]

Tension within self is our feelings against other who stand over against us. We sentient creatures are self-feeling in particular; ways excites a particular emotion or urge, or inner stimulus against other.

It is a privilege to feel differentiating from others is a conscious awakening state. Every animal feelings, it is a way of resisting others. Thus feeling has consciousness, has self-consciousness free and impartial. Feeling directly shuts out other is a state of tension in such a way appears mutually opposed at the same time

Nothing assures us that what we do is true but reason, purpose, feelings can never assure us of anything if reason does not intervene and lead us to light up the chaos.

Hi Barbara,
Given the latest episodes upon this forum would it be possible for you to move your language to a slightly more colloquial form? After all, Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel spoke the German language, and whilst in translation it could be opaque, in German it was quite precise, as English can be.

p.s. barring this. Could you at least explain the Metaphysic behind your words.

Voice which can be wonderful in its utterance of self-feeling. That which is inward for itself has a voice. We sentient creatures show outwardly our feelings, we emit cries when in pain, need, hunger, pleasure, joyfulness, in heat horses neigh, insects hum, cats purr.

Agreed.

The voice is that of the bird when it launches forth in song.

Agreed again.(Pinker:The Language Instinct).

Therefore, we sentient creatures contain a relationship with the outside world.

Agreed.

What makes excites are emotion exists outside of us, equally the determinateness of our feelings. In a conscious, awaken state there is reflection into self, a sensibility that differentiates itself into the many sensory approaches to the world.

Not sure what to make of this. "What makes excites are emotion exists outside of us" is wrong to me. Emotions are made within our bodies. What excites them through our senses is outside of us. I agree that when awake I am me. And I agree that me is the many sensations that I am having.

Now metals, especially precious metals give out a clear sound, on the other hand, a cracked metal bell you hear an impure sound, or noise.

But a metal bell is an impure amalgamation of pure metals and produces a clear tone. Its only the crack that makes the difference.

The phenomenon of sound is hard to grasp, because sound varies so much causes it to be difficult to exhibit. The emergence of sound of inner body is produced in two ways, by friction and vibration. Vibration is the moving to and fro, is elasticity. Friction is when body is rubbed it’s corresponding sound is noise, thus in badly made instruments you hear clatter. Vibration properly speaking is freely determined by resilience is unhindered inner reverberation.

How do you exhibit such a thing as a sound? Are you saying that sound is only two objects interacting? I do not understand your distinction between "friction and vibration".

The particular sound you produce depends on your cohesion and place. Sound can only be revealed through instruments that have their own specific inner vibration that is capable of giving out a sound. For example, metals have their own specific sound, like the sound of silver and brass; different substances emit different sounds.

And Primate bodies have timbre, pace, tone, pitch, etc. What are you saying here? Amalgam bells put paid to 'pure' things.

Chladni observed, sounds produced by vibration are tones, such as, whalebone emits a, tin, b, silver, d, cologne pipes, e, copper, g, glass, c.
Sound itself can shatter or fusser an object can in fact shatter glass by a sharp cry. It is the ideal ideality, repelling of an outer force, the oscillation of negation of the material specific subsistence. The body displaying itself specifically preserves itself, but this is self-preservation only one aspect of being. Sound is only the abstract, is only a conditioned individuality.

Okay. The carrier of sound can produce amazing effects but how does this impact upon Being? You are guessing that 'Sound' is an abstract. It is only our "conditioned individuality", i.e. being a body that allows sound in the first place.

Voice is a spiritual mechanism, whereas metals do not show their specific quality until they are stimulated from outside; meaning they get struck. We animals sound our own accord; announce our spirituality by vibrating inwardly causing the air within to vibrate. Our own activity makes our body organism vibrate into voice.

Agreed, apart from the, being a vocal body being a mechanism of Spiritalism. I prefer lots of vocal bodies being the mechanism that gives rise to Spiritualism.

An outside impact affects our feelings. Sound the inner being comes into existence. We sound our own accord; we announce our own spiritual natures inside to vibrate. Our own activity is what makes our body vibrate into voice lies in our power.

What outside impact? Sights, sounds, smells, touch? Which are affecting our 'feelings'? By 'sound' coming into existence, what do you mean? A voice, tone? How do we vibrate with our spiritual natures? Do you have any practical approaches? We all know that we talk, whats new?

The mind is alive and its internal organs are determined in these particular forms, are determined by the idea and by this particularity. This determination diffuses through every part of the animal structure and harmonizes the parts with one another.

No, the body is alive and the Mind is structured by this fact. It is true that it is a recursive existence but this does not mean that its a top-down harmony.

Sound bears witness to self-preservation reveals the intriguing soul of a person, when a body sounds enters into a higher sphere. Sound affects the innermost feelings and our inner being is revealed. Sound is same as being, meaning, and inner being coming into existence.

In order for something to sound, it requires a continuity, homogeneity. Metals, especially precious metals give out a clear sound, but, if cracked you here noise.

This phenomenon of sound is hard to grasp, it took me years to reach this point of understanding because sound varies causing it to be difficult to exhibit.

Outside affects our innermost feelings and because of it, our inner being has a voice. We sound our own accord; announce our own spiritual natures it I only our activity that makes body vibrate into voice. Therefore, voice lies in our power.

Vibration is determined by cohesion is inner reverberation, called elasticity. The particular sound produced depends on cohesion and place, strictly speaking, revealed through instruments that have their own specific sound. The inner oscillation of body is vibration, which is capable of giving out a sound in two ways, by friction and vibration. Vibration is the moving to and fro, elasticity and friction is the sound is noise, thus badly made instruments you hear clatter.

Now life is consciousness and self-consciousness all at the same moment together has reason and spirit;. Look at all the many noble minds , which have sprung from inspireation.
That spirit is sent by god in the form of love the greatest of heaven's blessings. Turn back to the epoch which took place thousands of years ago in the field of science and intellectual world. They were l ike good farmers nurturing and cultivating the gentle qualities of knowledge and preventing the wild ones from entering, gently with a view of soothing and removing the dislike of knowledge.

The noble mind is forever directed towards things fixed and immutable, which are neither injuring nor injured by one another, but all in order moving according to reason; imitate these and we will, as far as can what is reverential.
.
The mind is independent being like the sun has stars and planets all related to each other in agreement, in one body. So too the mind it holds together feeling, perception, reason, will and thinking. What a remarkable thing the mind it appears determined as self-consciousness but is unconscious.

Harmony is revealed when a string is made to vibrate it spontaneously divides itself into ratios. Not only is the fundamental heard, but also the fifth of the higher harmony and the third of the higher harmony.

An experienced musician hears the second harmony of the fundamental and its double harmony. Thus notes are heard by the whole numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, a phenomenon of different sounds which are harmonic.


It is not so easy to see how a string emits its own note and a third is heard, which proves notes can be aroused from a string without striking it, but by striking another is heard or when a number of notes are played only one is heard.

All of this rest upon numerical relationships. When strings having a certain relationship to each other are plucked simultaneously, only one sound is heard. This is really a remarkable phenomenon.

[Barbara Brooks]

The task of philosophy is to reawaken the mind spirit that has been buried in outlandish marsh for many years without an ethical order. I mean an ethical order as the immediate consciousness of self and other naturally living together shaping and preserving laboring for universal good.

An ethical act must be substantial in character and universally lift the world out of a life of chance and change, into world peace, a simple universality. It is only as citizens of the world that we are real and substantial.

This universal being takes effect no doubt takes labor in attaining this stage of independent self-existence takes magnificence, concord, beauty, and good. They are pulse of the philosopher if we want to do our work in life in everything shall flow like a gentle wind from a purer region. The mind rightly educated is the philosopher noble and good recognized and saluted.

Therefore, musical training is a most effective instrument into the mind of a philosopher, because rhythm and harmony find their way imparting grace. Socrates believed music is just as learning to read, to be everywhere eager to make them known. Only when we know the letters exactly can we ever become musical and know the essential forms of temperance, courage, liberality, and magnificence when mind harmonizes with the fairest of sights to those philosophers who have an eye to see it. The fairest is always the loveliest and philosophers who have that spirit of harmony are always in love with the loveliest.

[Barbara Brooks]

To behold knowledge it is best when sounds, sights, feelings of pain or pleasure quit the mind. The senses only hinder the acquisition of knowledge,

Borrowing all that is best in knowledge let us catalog everything, that gives certainty that all things are very likely mutually related in the same fashion.
Let us not slave in the acquisition of knowledge, for any kind of knowledge acquired under force does not stay in mind. What is rigid, closed within is powerless.

The three determinate knowledge’s; theoretical, physical, and dialectical each emerges necessarily from the other and in doing so each result from the other. Theoretical and its companion’s logic and hypothesis are the intellectual and visible world. Theoretical entails thinking about things in for the sake of knowledge, purely speculative thinking which has the power of elevate the mind to the highest principles of existence.

Dialectic goes to the first principle in order to attain truth of the essence of Nature and defines rationally. You will not find a more difficult study or not many, as difficult. Dialectic, which the best learning natures should be trained in and never give up the study.

[Barbara Brooks]

While Descartes, believed knowledge was a science Spinoza indisputably asserted knowledge was thinking. Leibniz believed knowledge was being the higher sense of self-sufficient individuality.

Knowledge embraces nothing less than the entire system of consciousness or virtue of consciousness consists in open, unambiguous, meaningful, and purposeful expression.

Grasp the whole truth and you will have no difficulty in apprehending the preceding remarks. Senses can never be assured of anything if knowledge does not intervene. The mind does not change with the changes; on the contrary the only change takes place outside. That is why Thinking is best when none of worldly things trouble it, neither sounds nor sights nor pain nor pleasure.

[Barbara Brooks]

Reconciliation follows destruction is what history shows us is a succession of noble minds, a gallery of thinkers, such as, Thales and Pythagoras, two rare geniuses, contemporaries at the time when Greece was working its way out of a stupor.

The mind is concurrent with the health of the people, the schools, government, social life, customs and pleasures. People who get lost because being hard driven by life, oppressed, entangled in materiality and desire but the mind can be re-illuminated.

Fix your eyes of task of philosophy of mind to undo and re-illuminate mind spirit. The faculty of knowledge is proficiently disposed in mind with a view to render things clear and intelligible.

Something becomes something through labor. One must labor to succeed in attaining and finding pleasure but labor keeps us in bondage by a chain from which we cannot get away from. Though in labor do we succeed in attaining a purpose?

[Barbara Brooks]

Knowledge comes on the scene turns round mind from a day passing which is little better than night to the true day of existence. This is the instrument of reason and an ascent to philosophy.

Laboring anything into something has a positive significance. The process is twofold in attaining and finding satisfaction one must enter into labor without reserve. First certainty of self, second, labor cannot get through labor, success is attained.
Reason is the middle or the mediating term, it unites and acts morally and carries out purpose. Reason the light of unity and truth is an action and the content of your actuality are taken but the conscious purpose, which dominates the action of the whole, so far as that purpose concerns that whole, self, is the individual member.

Reason must be substantial in character, must be entire and universal spirit; it must not be taken as if reaon were a mere act of service or produces action; it is a spirit, an immediate truth, conscious life. Through reason comes about a universal being with feeling and reverent devotion to each other. away but

[Barbara Brooks]

We have it in our power to reason and effectuate a benefit to the world. World spirit prevails over reason and that is the struggle, like any struggle of opposites, the same holds true of inner and outer, like and unlike, and so on, also, generation and destruction, being and not being. In a word, anything that is to be or not.


Reason renders things clear and intelligible can take a critical outlook and turn it around into a clearer outlook. In truth, reason brings the end objective establishes something good and eternal.

World spirit comes into being in reason, it makes one aware of the extremity, relates proclaims is certainty and assurance of each being true. It appears in every self-consciousness is the first positive character which self-consciousness is pure, inner essence of bare and simple truth.

Reason acts along an ideal line. If any one wanted to show reason, it can be seen in magnetism. A highly astonishing phenomenon when you put unmagnified iron bits near iron magnetized, a movement is observed. At one end of each bit attach itself to the north pole of the magnet, and the other the south Pole movement is seen.

The mere to stroke iron converts it magnetic, but it must be stroked in the direction of the mid-way. Even striking or knocking iron with your bare hand or shaking it in the air, makes it magnetic. Every organized creature, all its parts correspond and by reciprocal action on one and another contribute to the same purposive activity.

Therefore, metals are conductors; some magnets act on compass needle but do not magnetize other iron, thus magnetism is present in iron ore; but lodestone is the metal in which magnetism is revealed. Here is the supersensible sphere. Loadstone is not magnetic in the mine, it is only after it is brought out of the mine that it becomes magnetic; it seems the stimulus of light in the atmosphere is magnetism revealed.

[Barbara Brooks]

Philosophy which all students ought also to attain, and not to fall short of begins when our knowledge reaches that point of mutual affinities, not till then will the pursuit have any value.

Behold the plain of truth suited to the highest part of the mind and there we are nourished. In truth, real consciousness is present, working and actualizing, reason brings to bear. In other words, reason brings to light the objective good and eternal world spirit; the middle term that connects the extremes.

Only in modern times has philosophy been separated from the sciences; Aristotle physics is far more philosophical then physics.

Hegel’s whole process of the chemical process is science, the process of the Elements; the particular process bound up with the general process of the Earth.

Hegel's philosophical writings on the galvanic process are noticeable the electrical and magnetic fields determining the seasons and time of day periodic variations are merely subjective forms of Elements. For example, water being a condition or product, fire, a origin and effect.

What should be is valid and effective not what ought to be. Stand firm on this point, and refuse to be led astray by ought to be and other hypothetical suggestions or all the impalpable empty design in the interest of the everlasting ought to be.

[Barbara Brooks]

First comes shadows then comes images and last truth that gives the seasons, and years, and names for all things not mere shadows or opinions. This process is not the turning over of the Monte, but the turning round of a mind passing from a day that is little better than night to the true day of being, that is, the ascent from below, affirmed to be true philosophy.
