Philosophy and Perception

Perception and Philosophy

In philosophy it is important to view things and to find previously unseen logic and wisdom hidden within everyday life and everyday issues. Remember common consensus is simply not good enough, you won't get anywhere in philosophy if you just accept all common consensus or government information as gospel, it's all about good old fashioned Q&A. Questions have power and don't be scared of trying to find answers, dig and research your topic then contemplate the issues, problems and solutions. Philosophy is like a gym for the mind, it can be tiring but the more you put in the better the results.

Just a quick taster for all budding philosophers.

Remember to push your boundaries daily and to challenge yours and others perception to dispel flawed logic and false truths so that your journey does not stagnate and you continue to edge ever closer to truth for this is how we grow and how the reigns of justice can be placed back into the hands of the plebian’s as we rise from the ashes of our decaying society and right the wrongs of old.

Corruption begins when we give responsibility for our own actions, beliefs and moral values to others and wash our hands of the blame and shame of what the western nations have done in our once good name. We as individuals must take more responsibility of the group as a whole, when you can not control your actions or make morally just decisions yourself, how do you expect society to achieve what you’ve failed? After all a society is only as good as the individuals are within it.

What is reality you say? hmmm reality is a human spun web of meaning where there is none, it is a veil that can only be lifted so far by so few, reality is merely a common consensus, of those who lack the intelligence to pierce the veil, that this experience is real and that time is linear which in turn generates a false sense of time and place.
Don't believe me? Well when your in a dream you get that same false sense of time and place which until you wake up you can not dispel even though it is not real or your reality and if you apply the same principles to this world any moment you could wake up and this ceases to be real and would seem like a split second instead of a lifetime

Fluke, an amusing term, why is it when we do something good we call it fluke? I mean how many times have you heard or even said “I couldn’t do that again if I tried”? I hear it all the time and the funny thing is that what you don’t quite vocalize is the underlying why to that statement. When you try to do something the internal dialogue will try to guide you through repeating the feat again and of course nine times out of ten you fail. Have you ever considered that when you did it by `fluke` that you weren’t thinking or trying to do anything, you simply just did it?

These should give an idea of what alternate really is and how even in something simple you can miss obvious truths if you are completely unaware of philosophy and the art of thought.

Abstract Philosophy

PHILOSOPHY INTRODUCTION

Hello and welcome to my Philosophy page. Over the coming months I hope to share all sorts of insights and broaden your horizons with all different types of philosophy and new, interesting perceptions or view points of the world and humanitys' place within it.

For the next few weeks I will be focusing on great philosophers such as Plato, Socrates and Aristotle. I will also be introducing you to some really abstract philosophy. What I mean by this is philosophy that holds ideas very different to the normal realms of everyday thought.

The point of this page is to open your mind and increase your tolerance and understanding of foriegn (new) ideas that perhaps in the past you simply dismissed as they challeneged your own beliefs.

My philosophy of life is centred on the notion that there is one collective consciousness or archive of human knowledge that we all have a user area within. Think of us as computers and human knowledge as the internet we simply connect to it rather than house it.

Because of this deep seated belief I try to ignore my petty ego who rejects ideas that threatens its own importance and try to be as open minded as possible and project myself to the opposing argument and truly understand their perpective. Even if this doesn't sway your own beliefs it's a very important skill to master for if an opposing view exists there must be some reason for it and some validation to it.

Due to my philosophy some articles and content on this blog will not be opinions I hold or believe but rather I will use them to demonstrate alternative and abstract ways of thinking and broaden your mind. In short I want to give you the inquisitive nature of the philosopher.

Philosophy should not be taken likely and resigned to history books. Philosophy put simply is the search for knowledge and is heavily dependant on logic and reasoning skills. Most of all Philosophy can be fun, how? It can be fun being able to entertain thoughts and even deabate sides of the argument that you don't personally believe in and can provide great fulfillment in the new found tolerance you have for new ideas. All in all life is more fun when you are open to it!!
