Attachment Thoughts are such a powerful attractant, pulling us into their mesmerizing beauty, that we are all lost in our own swirling hidden world of our own ideas. These thoughts do not need to have a meaning; their possession itself is flattering to us. We find our greatness reflected in these thoughts, and rather than reason serving us as a tool for understanding, all too often Reason serves instead as a center of worship for us.

Part Three - Philosophy and Practice History is the story of human understanding, flavored and colored with human deeds. Philosophy, whether faithful to the love of wisdom, or as the servant of religion, politics, or science, has been the engine of that story, producing systems like other engines produce smoke.

For those that adhere to the view inherent in Materialism, but hold out also the possibility of something called Mind or Spirit, there is the idea that what exists in the world are various entities or beings, all of which are either modes of Being or categories of beings. For the scientific Materialists – Physicalists – however, there are only things. Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website 23. Consciousness Awareness transcends and is immanent within consciousness. This is just an abstract idea and thus should only be seen as a signpost to the actual reality that gives rise to and understands the world.

This can be taken as a relation of correspondence with what exists in the world, but that is a surface understanding only.

Spontaneity The classical idea of causation is derived from a view of reality that consists of a world filled with separate, independently existing entities.

Instead, we ‘will’ them to be, according to prevalent belief. That reason is not the source of action is clearly apparent. It is even more so if one looks at the unreasonable activities of humanity in the world. It is our passions that drive us, it is often said. And to a degree this is true.

Sources of Knowledge We can distinguish, apparently, two types of knowledge – one that derives from our immanence within experience and one that derives from our representational schemas of existents.

Does that mean it is ‘real’? What exactly do we mean when we say that we imagine something to be true? Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website 16.

The Dénouement of Materialism Many would argue that consciousness is nothing more than a registration; that there is no actual lived-event because that would entail some form of Mind-Body dualism.

The Problem of False Halts and Captivity Whenever we attempt to ‘transcend existence’ we are faced with the problem of halting our ‘transcendence’ within some aspect of phenomenal existence. Such a false halt results in a state that cannot be considered transcendent, but merely transcendentally inclined yet still captive within existence.

We cannot stop the world from appearing; nor can we stop thoughts from arising. These two categories of phenomena are arbitrary, based upon our habit of distinguishing that which is ‘internal’ – thought – and that which is ‘external’ – the world.

Animadversion We must now return to the word "animadvert" and reveal more of the full sense that it needfully must entail. Why has the obsolete word "animadvert" been used, when the current word "advert" means the same as the sense in which the former word has apparently been used so far in this work?

Before we can become clear on this we need to ensure that such a question is even meaningful, given what has been said about Awareness.

Mind is a great catchall for every aspect of phenomenal existence that we have a problem pointing to ‘out there’ in the world.

Surjectivity The fact that we can doubt the reality of our selves, and the clear and unequivocal problem that arises from that – if we can doubt our selves than who is it that is doubting -- raises a concern that our view of reality is not yet free from unexamined, and perhaps unfounded, assumptions.

The Apodictic Nature of our Conscious Lives It is the objective of this work to investigate the source of this apodictic validity of our experience of the world and to apply the knowledge gained there to an analysis of the structure of the form of the world that we implicitly act upon.

Part One René Descartes starts the construction of his philosophic system by doubting all that he can in order to find a necessary truth that he can use as a foundation upon which to build. He finds it in the discovery of self-existence: “ego cogito, ergo sum” (I am thinking, therefore I exist). Yet on this point, Aristotle had once remarked: “We must consider why mind does not always think.” (“On Soul”, Book III, 430a[9-10]) What then are we to make of our self-existence, if it is ...
