The Spirit of Wisdom

"Science deals with things observed in the material world...philosophy deals with the obervation of the observation of the material world."
I like that one but religion should be added some where.

I think religion is more of a personal experience. Which is hard to describe like many things.

For example...when someone feels an urge to be selfish towards something...but then feels a conflicting urge to be unselfish or altruistic...that is a primitive religious experience.

I believe Thought Adjusters or Mystery Monitors begin to indwell our minds at around 2....maybe earlier....but basically they arrive simultaneously with our first moral choice.

Morality is an interesting topic.

The conscience admonishes you to do right...but God or your Mystery Monitor endeavors to tell what really is right....when and as you are able to perceive his leadings.

See....the conscience has been built up around the mores of any given society.

The mores are basically the beliefs and customs of a society which are deemed as right or good.

The mores in our society are built by the government...churches...other institutions...and we learn these mores especially from our parents....unconsciously as we a children.

they first started out as taboo's which eventually evolved in sin....and later evolved into common day laws.

The mores are constantly changing....what is considered wrong or bad in this society...could be considered as praiseworthy in another society.

There are even certain more governing this forum.
Of course....alot of these are unconscious.

Another way to look at mores is rules....you could just say mores are rules on acceptable behavior..."don't spit" etc etc.

Another thing about rules that is interesting....is that we have rules for certain value.

I learned about rules and values from tony robbins.

Basically....take the value Happiness.

Someone can have a whole rack of unconscious rules as to when they allow themselves to feel happy.

"I'll feel happy when I win the lottery" for example

"i'll feel happy when my girlfriend kisses me"

basically...what their saying is "I'll allow myself to feel happy when this or that happens"

The truth is...is that they can allow themselves to feel that happy now....but they don't because they have these unconscious rules governing their emotions.

I threw alot at ya....take some time to absorb it.

"Truth cannot be defined by words, only by living."

"The authority of truth is the very spirit that indwells the minds of men...and not the dead words of the supposed inspired men of another generation"

"Knowledge is only possessed by sharing"

"The argumentative defense of any proposition is inversely proportional to the truth contained"

"The greatest affliction of the cosmos is to never have been afflicted...for men only learn wisdom by experiencing tribulation"

"God is love; therefore his only personal attitude towards the affairs of the universe is always a reaction of divine affection."

"Knowledge pertains to things observed...but truth transcends such purely material levels in that it consorts with wisdom and embraces such imponderables as the human experience."

"Science deals with things observed in the material world...philosophy deals with the obervation of the observation of the material world."

"The Spirit of Truth is not to be the letter or law of truth...neither is it to function as the form or expression of truth...but rather as the conviction of truth...the assurance of real meanings on true spirit levels."

Much love
