A Philosophy of Mind

[Barbara Brooks]

Look at the remarkable phenomenon of refraction, for example, the image of the sun is seen even when the sun is no longer visible. Easily I conceive that if the visibility here in question is that of something seen through one transparent medium. In a single medium the intermediate is a single uniform showing, determined merely by light, we have only one density and therefore only one fixing of place, 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.

Thus the phenomenon is to be seen difficult to comprehend because here is sensibility, perceivied spirituality. In treating visibility we are in the field of ideality, for visibility is the affirming of something ideally present in another but only spatial determinateness.

Turn and gaze toward good a place where full perfection is beholding. With Reflection comes truth and with it comes compassion for other. This power of beholding this is most good, the course of objective truth in other words the assurance of self.

Like Earthenters into relation with water, air and light. Earth merely is the alternating fluctuation between two determinations; a submerged sleeping state or the awaking state where earth forms a relationship with light, air, and water and others.

This is a theoretical process called the mechanical sphere of feeling as sleeping to rest or gather food and build is a theoretical process, pure science and there can be nothing so remote that cannot be known.

The process of feeling directly shuts out the outside world is always in a state of tension over against outside world mutually opposed while at the same time assimilated, and instinctual three forms of feeling , theoretical, practical and last the unity of both theoretical and practical feeling reflected into a sensibility into the many sensory approaches to the outside world.

We sentient creature contain within a relationship with the outside world and this relationship excites our feelings thus, feelings have a free and impartial self-consciousness. Feeling being the sense organ which constitutes the general senses of the skin: taste is the muscle of the tongue which connects itself to the mouth. The noise being the organ of smell is connected with the principle of air and breathing. Sight, like hearing is the sense of the brain; in the eye the external object is an indifferent self, while in the ear, it is a self-removing self. Voice is pure self affirming itself as universal, expressing pain, desire, joy, contentment, all animals have a voice that declares their feeling.

In youth they are full of boundless aspirations, and fancy themselves able to manage the affairs of society, having got such an idea into their head elevate themselves to the fullness of vain pompousness and senseless pride. And if someone gently comes and tells them that they are a fool and must get knowledge, which can only be got by slaving for it, how do you think under such adverse circumstances they will be easily induced to philosophy?


And even if there is one or two who has had their eyes opened, humbled, and taken captive by philosophy, so many things will prevent them from yielding away from philosophy and this renders philosophy powerless and undervalued.

How under these circumstances can anyone ever become a philosopher?

[Barbara Brooks]

Reconciliation follows destruction of deceitful administrations.

It was no easy task but whether easy or not is worthy of attaining then all other things become useful and advantageous. Nothing is worth of any value if we do not possess good.

In the native land of truth is philosophy is wholly directed to truth. Without the power of knowing we would be ignorant of whether we are being happy or sad. Truth vanishes in the course of the experience that is the problem.

There is an old saying that we should not try to please anyone but good and noble God. Wonder not if the way is long and curvy for, where the end is good may take a longer path.

Labor of love makes for happiness, so happy we happily wish others happiness

Philosophy lifted in another world carried round in a revolution not without trouble indeed and with great difficulty for the mere sake of knowledge and truth. Rise out of the state of unconsciousness come all noble thinkers into a world that exalts great thoughts where we think away negative viewpoints.

The world of thinkers has been advanced before, knowledge is power a natural gift and instrument of philosophy it comes on the scene and liberates purpose.

Lodged in the mind is reason wholly directed toward truth by means of exercising reason? This is the element of freethinking the ultimate absolute truth not superficial tiresome rhetoric.

[Barbara Brooks]

Reason is between knowledge and truth is function of centrality between extreme.
When I take a bit of unmagnified iron and put it near a magnetized iron bit I can observe movement; One end of the bit will attaches itself to the north of the magnet, while the other end repels, but both move only up to the middle point the center where attraction and repulsion disappears.

Proving something belongs to the process of knowledge through and through. Knowledge excludes everything, which is not grasped conceptually by the mind

[Barbara Brooks]

The earth is not some. Simple unity Granite is so hard, so solid, that its parts are not easily separated. What constitutes this hardness is composed of silica, quartz, and mica felspar. This earthy triad has two directions; fletz-formation followed by alluvial terrain the external formation of a primitive rock. Granite the core of mountains in a triad display and calcareous is partly mineral, such as metal and fossils as the vein which form themselves into mountains.

Veins are seams in the mountains consisting of a medley of rocks and earth, cut by the lodes at various angles. The structure of the earth and general formation of the alluvial terrains, bear the stamp of violent upheaval and external formation.

Look at the formation of boulders and debris stuck together into a conglomerate, some smooth pebbles cemented together by sandstone and limestone in mountain ranges. The stratification of deposits is very regular, one layer then the next layer. Consists of big stones almost all of exact thickness, the next layer of smaller stones and a third of still smaller stone. In one rock there are nascent formation of other rocks formation are globules, clusters, partly internal and partly external.


The Element of the earth too is not a simple unity of air, light, fire, and water, but the condition of earth’s individuality. Fire as the moment of earth’s’ smell, water, as earth’s taste.

Earth unites all determinations together within itself, like a bouquet bound together. Earth as a self-subsistent individuality exhibits a process of elements, at the same time, these elements enjoy a separate and independent existence. On one hand, the process of earth brings on particular corporeal individualities On the other hand; Earth's process immediately behaves the vital process. The vital process, no member of life can endure without it, but can only endure in the subjective unity, which is the vital process.

[Barbara Brooks]

On one hand earth’s interior is dead essence, on the other hand, exterior moment. The atmospheric level is the index of the meteorological process of the changes inside the terrestrial earth consequently attracts the atmosphere level either more or less. The higher level puts a stop to the formation of water and at a lower level permits water.

Earth's great inward tension is the withdrawal from the grip of gravity is earth's way of showing its self-hood.

The self-hood relationship of sun and earth, one is positive and one is negative causes light and shade to arise. Sunlight lights up earth surface is self-hood. If the earth were a smooth, the surface would be a mere gleam like something shining in something else. This is a phenomenon and difficult to grasp, to say light lights the surfaces image of earth then the chief characteristic of light is its gleam and shining of an image of something other then light.

[Barbara Brooks]

Earth connection with sun comes day and night. The sun mounting higher and higher is daytime and when it reaches its highest point sinks to its lowest is nighttime. The greatest heat and greatest cold depend on the height of the sun.

Then the greatest heat and the greatest cold fall in June and December at the solstices, which is, the equinox the precise moment when the sun crosses the equator. The change of heat and cold, the greatest cold it is said comes from the north and south poles. But even at the poles, the greatest cold occurs in January and the greatest heat in July and August.

Admiral Perry asserted that the same is true at poles as here. That the beginning of November, after an autumnal equinox we have cold and storms. Also the spring equinox, the fine weathers at the end of February, March, and April bring similarly to November and so to in July, after the summer solstice there is a sudden drop in temperature. How does sunlight relate to earth?

If earth were smoothed surface, the relationship with light would be only a mere gleam or only something shining in something else. For instance a gleam or shining reveals only an image of something other?

Any attempt to explain this only results in the wildest confusion. But I'll try.

If we place two mirrors, opposite each other and between them is light, the light becomes visible in each mirror, and each mirror image is a reflection in another.

Now If we take two mirrors and call one A the other B and place them opposite and what is visible in A. The answer is B is in A; A is reflected in B. So that what is visible in A is B and what is visible in B is A.

A continual repetition of the same thing and so on, the image is reflected in another surface. Sunlight maintains everything is identical. Maybe not identical but for another, sunlight illuminates merely as a self-hood without any inner opposition. Whereas earth has inner and character, has physical and material existence.


Then anything to be made visible specific darkness is required, or roughness, or color must be present, therefore light shining on earth’s darkness, roughness, and color makes it visible.

Egypt 530 B, C. the country was regarded as a highly cultural society thus no doubt from Egypt Pythagoras had great influence on the Greco-Italian society bring together a community thinkers.

Such deep thoughts reigned. There were generations of philosophers, Thales and Pythagoras alone. According to Bertrand Russell, "Western philosophy begins with Thales." anything that is generated has opposition and the innumerable other opposites that generated out of opposites.

Zeno's system the highest accurate and profound reasoning carries out the prize. His very hypothesis of one and many, and what will be the consequences to one and many in relation. This hypothesis, of motion the same holds of generation and destruction, and even of being and not being. In a word, when we suppose anything to be or not to be, look at the consequences the limits of everything.

Socrates believed the spangled heavens should be used as a pattern and with a view to that higher knowledge; their beauty is like the beauty of figures or pictures excellently wrought by the hand of Daedalus, or some other great artist, which we may chance to behold; any geometrician who saw them would appreciate the exquisiteness of their labor but he would never dream of thinking that in them he could find the true equal or the true double, or the truth of any other proportion.

Sunspots translucent orbits around the sun disperse and another forms. Their whirl on a point separating into a direction to avoid unity with one but cannot.

The universe is an ordered and harmonious system that separates itself into particular bodies uniform, conditional and the partly falling and partly free principles are in perfect unity, a perfect cosmic group of independent bodies nesting in an objective essential relationship.
Water and Earth invade air volatilize it into an atmospheric process, resolving water and earth into odors. All this stuff I have learned. The ebb and flow of the sea, earth’s form are the result from the position of sun and the earth discharges its superfluous water into springs which connect to form rivers.

I had a marvelous dream last night I was being recognized as a true philosopher from the divine. What a wonderful feeling that came over me. Kepler my God what he went through, it took him twenty-seven years to determine the rule of motion of the heavens. He had only faith that reason must be there and through that, faith arrived at rules that are among the most beautiful, purest and least tangled with diversity to be found.

Kepler divided the celestial heaven into three parts, sun/sunspots, moon, and earth moving together. What a free mind he had and society was coming out of the middle Ages.

[Barbara Brooks]

The necessity of understanding in a deeper sense than mere form of thought ,
politics and morality. In earlier days, thinking was freely and fearlessly what they thought about God, Nature, and the society; and they felt sure of truth.

[Barbara Brooks]

Socrates believed philosophers have magnificence of the mind are spectators of all time and all existence are sure to be temperate, just and gentle, and have the gift of a good memory. Is quick to learn - noble, gracious, the friend of truth, justice, courage, and temperance. A true philosopher will not rest in appearance only, but will go on the keen edge not be blunted, until they have attained the knowledge of the true essence of philosophy.

[Barbara Brooks]

In ancient times, philosophy was science that related to world spirit and truth. It has only been recently is looked at as a thoughtless superficial chaotic hotch potch of non-comprehended thoughts.

Knowledge I wrote down. I comprehended carefully in order and sometimes merely keep them in my mind, I borrow all that is best in knowledge, and I correct the errors of the one by the other. I enumerate anything, which gives certainty; accurate and distinct knowledge.

I increased my knowledge little by little raising my mind to highest possible point. I could not find a more enjoyable activity to imagine then this method. I had no intentions I just thought that it would be better if I examined things in a general aspect that would serve most to facilitate knowledge.

[Barbara Brooks]

Music is an effective instrument for rhythm , harmony and grace. It is the same as learning to read; we cannot perceive them as unimportant, but to be everywhere eager to make them known. Only when we know the letters exactly could I ever become musical and know the essential forms of temperance, courage, liberality, magnificence, and their kindred when a beautiful mind harmonizes with the fairest of sights

[Barbara Brooks]

Then perception the instrument of the senses of sight or hearing or some other senses is derived knowledge that all we sensible creatures ought to aim at .

Talent is an instinctual process or more so the need the same as falling asleep without setting about doing so the migration of bird.

We sleep out of instinct; the same is true of wake we gathering food. Cautioned of the weather spiders and frogs are weather profits, also the flight of birds at a time of earthquakes. They feel the coming change in whether by a wound is all talent. The tiger it is not merely the sight of the giraffe that awakens the desire for it nor is it a choice; every one of has a restricted sphere, the sight of a mouse in the case of a hawk seeks out its own intimate complex environment recognizes its elemental law. Lilies, willows, fig trees even have their own particular bug or insect whose nature is restricted to each plant. As in building a resting place instinct is directed to reason.
