A Philosophy of Mind

[Barbara Brooks]

Before I can see darkness is required, otherwise there is only luminous sunlight.
The most important characteristic of sunlight is its gleam. If earth’s surface were smooth, earth would be simply a gleam a shining image of other. Sunlight brightens up earth because of it earth surface is made visible.


Air is the crystal of the earth passive to sunlight transparent free from earthy flaws free otherwise air would simply be opaque.

It is the relation between lightness and darkness, that belongs to a band of colors, as seen in a rainbow produced by separation of the components of light.


Earth, is a meteorological process, this is the study the earth’s atmosphere. This process is also called the form of barometric index level the unity of elements, air, fire and water affirms living being.

Earth the root of individuality’s uneven surface makes it visible. Earth has rough, smooth, and pointed surface causes light and shade to arise. Sunlight brings the difference of day and night; without this connection earth would be a devoid of process; Sun mounts higher and higher is day and when it reaches its highest point sinks to its lowest is night.

[Barbara Brooks]

Sunlight is perpetually igniting and inciting earth: Elements and Chemicals including magnetism and electricity.


This is a meteorlogical, preocess Earth is a manifestation of being of air, fire and water a unity of elements,. The relationship of the sun to earth brings the difference of day and night, without earth's connection to sunlight earth would be devoid of process.

It is the atmosphere that arouses and rules earth create causes and effects. Life is subject of the meteorlogical, process. Earth cannot in its own peculiar way fructify itself into vitality only by the atmosphere. Perpetually life erupts at every point in the earth, and in the sea where countless host of phosphorescent life , for here earth is fertility as ground and the basis of all individuality and vitality.

Knowledge depends on principles derived from wisdom that is requisite above all to try to establish any certainty. The principle of knowledge is truth. Knowledge distinguishes truth from error. There is nothing that assures us what we see is truth things that are perceived very plainly and very clearly true but at the same time not

Knowing is the ultimate and absolute truth of consciousness, for what is everything, which gives certainty by its means of exercising truth. Knowledge must be dependent on principles derived from wisdom that it was requisite above all to try to establish truth.

Air this free being in relationship to sunlight transparency. free without individualization behaves passive, its fluid elasticity moves freely and pervades everything.

Whereas sunlight shines in face of other determinations. Earth in opposition to sunlight produces a showing of something other. In order for something to be seen roughness, or color must be opposite light.

The phenomenon of light, especially refraction was a challenge to write it took weeks to finish. Finally I understood it air and water abstract form is refraction.


To say that objects are visible means they light up the surface is reflection. Here I use two mirrors opposite each other and between them light then light becomes visible because each mirrors image is only a reflection in another. Any attempt to explain this results only in the wildest confusion. If I take two mirrors and called each mirror A and B and ask what is viewed in A, the answer is B; but B is A's view in B. So that what is viewed in A is B and what is viewed in B is A. Thus, we have this continual repetition of the same and so on, is reflection.

[Barbara Brooks]

Sunlight lets other things be seen through it. an object seen in a vessel of water the object is seen in a different and higher position than a vessel empty of water but with and object in it. Those who shoot fish know that to aim below the spot where one sees the fish, because visibility of the fish is raised in water.

Whereas sunlight shines in face of other determinations. Earth in opposition to sunlight produces a showing of something other then sunlight. In order for something to be seen roughness, or color must be opposite light. Darkness is required, Before I can see otherwise, there is only luminous sunlight. Earth becomes visible meaning light up the earth surface and everything visible.

The phenomenon of light, especially refraction was a challenge to write it took weeks to finish. Finally I understood it air and water in abstract form is refraction. a self-individualizing nature which determines herself, and possess a wholly universal determination in subjectivity. The absolute characteristic feature of people; self, ideal, actively present and at the same time within itself. Self constitutes sensation is the supreme wealth of existence because in it everything is reduced. Joy, pain, any mental feeling, seeing and hearing, etc. In seeing and hearing, I am simply in communion with myself, they are only a form of my pure transparency and clarity.

The solar system not by chance constitutes the self-subsistent moments of the earth; the moon is the earth's hard interior and the comet is earth's atmosphere. On one hand, moon constitutes the interior, its dead essence, and the regent of individual process and on the other hand the exterior moment, this moment has independent, freely detached sphere. Earth is the truthful superior opens up into difference. The whole solar system exists this way, existing together as the unbinding one. Individuality is in its totality infinite form that is one with self. Unfortunately, we look at earth as a droplet in the ocean of infinity, as a mere quantitative component part of some existence outside,



The world is like a hollowed out place above the ground only shadow by sunlight on the opposite part of this hollowed out place. First perceive shadows, then images and last truth that gives the seasons, and years, and names for all things airs transparent fluid elasticity moves freely and pervades everything In light a shining and in face of other determinations, independent. Light has the possibility of unifying with all things light enters into community. Earth is in opposition of light; it is negative of light only produces a showing of something else. In order for something to be made visible a roughness, or color must be there.

Then how does sunlight relate to earth?

Sunlight brightens up earth and makes it visible.

The most important characteristic of light is its shinning unblemished of other. Now be If earth’s surface were smooth, earth would simply gleam or be a shining image of something other.Earth surface is rough, smooth, and pointed and therefore is perpetually ignited and incited, by the sun causes light and shade to arise.

Another factor of earth relationship to sun is the atmosphere. Goethe discovered that variations of the barometric level were the same barometric reading from the same latitude on different meridians in Europe, America and Asia. From his readings, Goethe found that trade winds were constant east winds, in the tropics.

Goethe, also found that the 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 barometer usually stands at the same level.

Then Goethe is stating this whole solar system exists together as the unbinding one. Before we can see darkness is required, otherwise there is only luminous sunlight.

Darkness becomes visible through light, meaning light and darkness has a relationship. Light comes into contact with darkness makes it visible as earth difference to light.

The fully accomplishe mind d unity isone fine point. Its free self-movement is like sunlight, ideally free form gravity, we spontaneously determine our place, also, we possess a voice, which displays our self-movement as a free vibration within self; a self-individualizing relationship to the outside world. Above all our individuality, which determines self is universal, abiding preserving, having feelings.

[Barbara Brooks]

Sunlight is affirmed in air, corresponds to air in a purely wholly ideal relationship. The air we breathe no member of life can endure without the vital process of the Elements, air comprising of Nitrogen, the self-existent difference, and Oxygen the all consuming element, Hydrogen the combustible and Carbon, the the earth.

Elements are as follows: air, fire, water and earth. These are the roots of our being. Air into oxygen and nitrogen, water into oxygen and fire into hydrogen.

The air we breathe seeming harmless is an deluding destructive powerful Element. It comes forward in its activity in three determinations, transparent, consuming, and combustible. Like sunlight air is transparently moves freely and pervades everywhere.

Air is a purely corrosive enemy of all that is individual has the power to decompose material things. It seems invisible, motionless, and passive but enters everywhere. Thus, whatever is individual breaks up into air.

An example take two globes, one is filled with air and the other filled with steam. The one filled with steam is poured out into the globe filled with air; The globe with air receives as much steam as if the globe are void of air.

Air creeps softly along, enters everywhere without showing itself. It is a quantitative mass, has no shape, without cohesion, and able to be compressed; different gases can be occupied in it.

[Barbara Brooks]

Like a crystal nucleus molecule the inner self pervades the whole inner and outer in a kind of successive array; an inner individualization that constitutes a perfect self.

The inner self becomes materiality through and through silent activity sets forth without action, shapes together all the different parts. Self the essential inner self comes forward with its imperturbable truth. Coming forth what innumerable causes that cripples and distract self. I mean those ordinary goods of life, beauty, wealth, command, and associates, you understand that sort of thing?

We self determined sentient creatures in a particular way, we sense, we the outside from within contain a relationship with the outer world. What excites a particular emotion exists outside of us, but equally at the same time we have consciousness as self-consciousness.

Self is the inner stimulus, yet at the same time a relation instinct, survival a part of purpose. It is a practical relationship, an inner self like the migration of animals, of fishes, or sleep, one falls asleep without setting about doing so.

Know thy self can be taken to be the element of free thought, pure knowing because pure knowing is ultimate absolute truth of mind. This is to mean knowing without any specifications or filling; absolute not mediated by anything.

The self the immediate being opening and unfolding itself into the world, is transformed into something, but the starting point remains the base of the development remains at the base of all that follows and does not vanish from it.

[Barbara Brooks]

Philosophy beaten, trampled, and dented by the waves of life hardly distinguishable so covered up like some sea monster with shells and stones.
.
Philosophy is not an option for me I am driven toward it like lilies, willows, fig trees have their own particular bug or insect whose nature is restricted to each plant.

All I can say truth is the only virtue which remains in society when the other virtues have disappeared It’s path has little light and so we go about seeking it when it is when it is right here in front of us not something far off in time we fail to recognize it.
The caterpillars spinning of the cocoon pertains to the constructive mind. Also, certain creatures arm themselves intestinal like blind sacs provide spiders the material for their webs. In the building of bee hives and the excretion of their honey is a production of self. Each body has its own particular place where it preserves self. If self receive pressure from outside, that pressure causes an inner reaction, and self retreats in order to preserve itself. Everyone has a particular self, so when outside influences causes an impact in particular place that touches off self feelings.

Self has a definite internal purpose to bring the certainty of self . The faculty of purpose is skillfully disposed in every mind clear and intelligible.

Know thyself straightaway is the ego a simple certainty of self, at the same time mixed of things. Just the act of speaking is the elevation of immediate consciousness to ego which is knowledge directly linked to everyone. Ego entangled in the world of appearance contains everything which gives certainty of self by means of exercising purpose in all things.
Knowledge draws the mind towards truth, and creates the spirit of philosophy,

[Barbara Brooks]

In “The Prince” Nicolo Machiavelli wrote that a wise philosopher ought always to follow the paths beaten by great people and to imitate them who have been supreme.
Philosophy only makes its appearance at a time when minds have worked its way out of apathy and insensitivity into self-consciousness that stands in contrast to indifference.
Then the question arises how can philosophy nurture people today? First we must realize everything belongs to its own time and each principle has reign for a certain time. Nevertheless, it is expected today to find the same questions of the past and consequences.

What will be the consequence? That is what counts. Little things elaborated how ridiculous! Nothing short of the most finished picture should satisfy us. Never lose sight through goodness that all things become useful and advantageous.

Descartes believed, abstract pure thought within self is mandatory above all to establish certainty where unconscious spirit comes to actuality and rises out into conscious universal spirit. This process is called the self-preservation of self, a concrete universal, genus as ground of self. In a theoretical of sense we are filled with self, restricted to self, and produce only self at the expense of the outside world.

[Barbara Brooks]

In a particular sense way we are free but theoretically we have a relationship with outside, a self-feeling need of which is negative; unpleasant feeling not a contingent relationship but a necessary one.

In every living creature is instinct the inner stimulus, whose determination is in relation to outside.

Socrates believed what rules self is called knowledge. The object of knowledge is thought, for example, the knowledge of house building is termed architecture is called the rational principle of self, whereas the other principle of self may be termed the ally of pleasures and satisfactions.

The inner being, which is the true self sets in order inner life, and mastery, principle , and peace; and when bound together become one entire temperate and perfectly adjusted proceeds to act harmonious just and good and wise.

The variaty of plants in Panama. My father had transferred to The Panama Canal Company in 1967, had enough of the New England winters, he was a boiler-maker worked outside in the freezing cold repairing ships. Panama Canal Company was United States government reservation cut out jungle maintained and protected by the United States.


You can go flower mad there. Plants worship sunlight as its God. Through a microscope I am totally mesmerized by Plant Nature. All I could think about through the day was plants and flowers. I would check out the flowers in a vase, looking for the stigma, the stamen, anthers, pistil. A remarkable thing individual moments in totality, all at the same time, together constituting a moving process of plants.

[Barbara Brooks]

A seed seen through a microscope can scarcely see that it is pregnant with all the qualities of the tree. In the seed is contained the whole tree, its trunk, branches, leaves, color, odor, taste, etc. Hegel believed everyone has a seed of ideas, drives, desires, inclinations, thoughts, etc. In this simple seed “I”, is contained what is in itself and what exists and is for itself are the same or “I” becomes something else if self were no longer self, a complete change would have taken place.

The mind resembles the general process of plant nature, comes forth from subjectivity. Plants differentiate into distinct parts and sustain, come forth into a unity of members, such as the blossom and branch are the same plant. This is a metamorphosis function, a vital principle that gathers into a point and this point sustains, produces new points.

Zeno proclaimed the beginning and end are the extremes of everything. Only in the case of eternity has neither beginning nor end is eternal.

Look at the full perfection of being and which everyone ought to behold, not in a narrow squaring, extending, and applying but with the mind for the sake of reason.

[Barbara Brooks]

Enjoying the fruit of your labor and the sacrifice is the active carrying-out the contest. This is virtue it succumbs self while good triumphs.

To be virtuous consist solely on yielding your entire self self individuality to virtue. This upsets the established regular order of the world. Virtue lies in conquering reality therefore the cessation of self.

In ancient times virtue had significance, had richness and a solid base in the spirit and purpose of the people and good. Virtue is in unity the course of the world moments, is spiritual life, or universal that requires giving up self to carry out good.

For the virtuous consciousness is a matter of belief is where virtue originates from in the case of self and of the course of the world. Self has to be brought under the discipline and control to be virtuous self has supersede cancel individuality.


Socrates described virtue good namely as something thoroughly familiar, something everyone finds in themselves and starting point for any further consideration. Know thy self is good gives reason in all things.


Reason appears in every self-consciousness as pure and simple truth. There are inevitable consequences linked with every action. We cannot foresee them but must we must act.

Here is the transition from reason to intention in the fact that we ought to be aware of our action but also the universe, which we are conjoined. The road can be looked on as a path of uncertainty, or more properly a course of anguish or despair because rest upon carrying out a conviction .

No sense dragging your feet opposing conviction. The faculty of reason is skillfully disposed in mind to render things clear and intelligible it lights up the chaos and confusion, distinguishes truth from error. There is always a contradiction present.

Reason takes a negative view toward the world into a positive one. The process of reason is proving something belongs to through and through. Anywhere there are extremes there is reason functioning as midway between any opposition, in order to behold. Unfortunately the pure reason cannot behold. However, we can make the nearest approach and not be drenched in sensation.

If anyone wanted to see conviction in nature look at magnetism, the center where attraction and repulsion disappear a highly astonishing phenomenon. If a bit of unmagnified iron is put near a bit of magnetized iron observe the movement; One end of the bit will attached to the north of the magnet, while the other end repel but both move only up to the middle point.


Magnetism forces iron bit into quite different directions, determine s them either to approach or to withdraw . One pointing north while the other points south. Reason is nothing more than the unconscious inner working and weaving conviction. What will be the consequence? ! Nothing short of the most finished picture should satisfy . Never lose sight that all things become useful and advantageous through virtue. That is what counts, little things elaborated how ridiculous!
