Nachlass

The wisdoms of life are not what escape humanity … rather the ability, the drive, the focus, to implement, execute, and utilize those wisdoms …

(here the question becomes whether such inability is a consequence of inherited characteristic or a simple laziness …)

Aside from the esotericisms (deep, historical, philosophical, scientific knowledge), what wisdom is there the average person does not acquire by the age of twenty?

What has been exhibited by the great thinkers is perhaps nothing more than attention to detail.

… to show a man of average intellect

… could become a philosopher …

Is there a more misunderstood concept in the history of human language than ‘existence’?

Records his own mental voyage; ragardless of ignorance …; for clarity of thought and the proper order of ideas (alignment) should necessarily produce a fearless eloquence.

When there can be nothing else there is no good or bad, right or wrong, perfect or imperfect …

I think by the age of twenty we should all have the wisdom to say what we want to say on one post and not six.

First step of intellectual freedom: the denial of all things ‘normal’; for housed in normality is the domesticated - the antithesis of the liberated.

They are individual posts, phil, and ought be read as such. Thanks for the ‘feedback’, though.

No more certain a signal a person is not worth the energy required to speak to than the tendency to repeat something they’ve merely overheard and assert it as their own finding. And at no other time is this tendency made more apparent than when a person is wrong.

Truth, Intelligence

We all know we’re here, more or less; it’s quite different to try and grasp what you are.

Can you tell me what form a shape-shifter “is”?

The reason why people don’t fully know what they are – is because part of them is interchangable, capable of being almost anything.

The dimensions of potentiality get more specifically fueled by love within & without.

Frequency Dial :laughing:

Form … there are some things beyond form.

By addition. In the sum of clarity and honesty is the essence of virtue. (And philosophy!)

My solitude. The defeated proclaims: ‘Don’t waste your time!’ The victor retorts: ‘That you found you were wasting yours is of no consequence to me’.

Should one come to an identical conclusion as another who came before, it is not necessary to deduce an irrelevancy regarding the latter’s findings. - Philosophical truths are not found or read but achieved.

What I write is both serious and silly, fact and fiction. Not because I have not taken it seriously, not because I consider it fiction, but because it doesn’t matter. What a reader takes from a text is always only what they bring with them. Wisdom speaks to those who are prepared to hear it. If what I write communicates with a reader, it will have been a result of their opening their own doors to communication, a removal of their indifference to just how important their time is, and that, having chosen to sit and read, having chosen to occupy their mind with mine, there is but one task: understanding.

How does existence (or the nature of our existence, to phrase it another way) differ from what we ‘are’? Truth and intelligence are mere elements, factors, portions of existence … You’re arguing the heart and lungs are more complex than the body.
