Depends on the subject. Sometimes you need exact quotes and formulation (like mathematics) that would take too much time of the lecture. In this case it is easier to present it on a powerpoint. But then more elaborate examples and such will be taken on the board.

🐟 02. A BRIEF EXPLANATION FOR “LIFE”: Everything, both perceptible and imperceptible - that is, any gross or subtle object within the material universe which can ever be perceived with the senses, plus the subject (the observer of all phenomena) - is what most persons actually refer to when they use the term “GOD”. REAL God is Impersonal Absolute Nothingness (otherwise called “The Tao”, “The Great Spirit”, “Brahman”, “Pure Consciousness”, “Eternal Awareness”, “Independent Existence”, “The Ground of All Being”, “The Undifferentiated Substratum of Reality”, “The Unified Field”, et cetera). “God” is One Reality, but just as a knife cannot cut itself, or fire cannot burn itself, “God” cannot know Himself (or at least EXPERIENCE Himself), and so, has manifested this phenomenal universe within Himself. Therefore, this world of duality is really just a play of consciousness within Consciousness. N. B. The word “God” is, by definition, a title of the male Deity, and is not to be taken literally here. Apparently, this phenomenal universe was “created” (within Consciousness) with the initial act (the so-called “Big Bang”), and from that first deed, every action that has ever occurred has been a direct or indirect result of it. Just as every particle of matter in the universe was once contained in the ’singularity’, Infinite Consciousness was NECESSARILY present at the Big Bang, and is in no way an epiphenomenon of a neural network. “Sarvam khalvidam brahma” (‘all this is indeed Brahman’). There is NAUGHT but Eternal Being, Conscious Awareness, Causeless Peace - and you are that! Everything which can be presently perceived, both tangible and immaterial, including we human beings, is a consequence of that initial manifestation. That is the most accurate and logical explanation for “karma” - everything was preordained from the initial spark, and every action since has unfolded as it was predestined in ETERNITY. The notion of retributive (“tit for tat”) karma is just that - an unverified notion. Whatever state in which we currently find ourselves, is the result of two factors - our genetic make-up at conception and our present-life conditioning (which may include mutating genetic code). Every choice ever made by every human (and non-human animal) was determined by those two factors ALONE, thus free-will is purely illusory, despite what most believe. Because we are temporarily residing within this dualistic universe, we experience both pleasure and pain. Suffering and pain are NOT synonymous. Suffering is due to a false sense of personal doership - the belief that one is a separate, independent author of one’s thoughts and deeds. There are five MANIFESTATIONS of suffering: 1. Guilt 2. Blame 3. Pride 4. Anxiety 5. Regrets about the past and expectations for the future These types of suffering are the result of not properly understanding what was explained above - that life is a series of happenings and NOT caused by the individual living beings. No living creature, including us humans, has personal free-will. There is only the Universal, Divine Will at play, acting through every body, to which William Shakespeare famously alluded when he scribed “All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players.” The human organism is simply a biological machine, comprised of the five gross material elements and the three subtle material elements. So, now that you understand life, and the reason why we are suffering here in this (supposedly) material universe, you are now able to be liberated from all forms of suffering, RIGHT? WRONG! It is imperative to find an authentic spiritual master to assist you to come to the above realization, by slowly undoing your past conditioning. Just as you have been conditioned over an entire lifetime to think one way, you need to be re-conditioned to think another. Even if you follow a competent teacher, you may still not come to a full understanding of life, but if you are sincere, humble and dedicated, you will definitely find more peace in your daily life (all of which was DESTINED to occur, of course). Furthermore, if it was ordained, you may be fortunate enough to accept discipline from a truly enlightened master, and subsequently realize the aforementioned fundamental concepts, by practicing at least one of the four systems of yoga (religion) described in the Holy Scripture, “A Final Instruction Sheet for Humanity”. Best wishes for your unique, personal journey towards unalloyed peace and happiness! “The meaning of life is life itself.” ************* “A wise Rabbi once said 'If I am I because you are you, and you are you because I am I, then I am not I, and you are not you'.

According to Plato ( c.428 - c.348bc ), when we are born we fly over the back of heaven and see all these perfect forms, such as a perfect chair and a perfect bed etc, but when we are born we lose this vision, but the one perfect form in heaven as on Earth is love, which gives an inkling of perfect forms in heaven. Unlike materialistic objects which are perceived with the senses forms such as goodness and honesty etc are understood only by reasoning which is why philosophy is so important.

[@abcrane]

Something that has occurred to me is that the "psycho-sociological-economic" dynamic of the classroom teaching "form"-itself-sheds light on this philosophical concern with the understanding of forms. If the class was instead a gardening class, and the goal to grow a garden, the "meaning" of the forms would necessarily be taken for granted in order to effectively accomplish the planting of the garden. By observing the philosophy class, and then the gardening class, and then contrasting the "thought exchange" in the philosophy class with the "action exchange" taking place in the gardening class, we may, here, find our answer to the question of the truth about forms. Not in the contemplation of ideas, but in their planting,

It fascinates me to see myself taking so many things so granted as I am going through life. When I see a table, for example, I think nothing much... Or maybe that´s table, next thought. Yet when I stop and think about it there is much to it. It is made up of various materials, someone has thought it up and had it created, it had to be shipped etc. This goes with things, people, situation etc. When we stop and contemplate, really sit still and inquire we will find that life is much more of a mystery that we usually give it credit for. Like for real... What is life? What is this body? Who am I? Am I the only person that feel confused about these questions?

Over this past year, philosophy has really appealed to me, and like yourself, I was very suprised about how I took everything for granted. It made me, not only question everything, but appreciate everything a lot more. For example, a car. It is a machine that we sit in, drive and bam, we have arrived at our destination in lightspeed compared to walking. Yet, it is a complex machine with complex parts, sophisticated mechanics and a product of intelligent minds of the past who decided to build such a machine, in which the majority of us don't have a clue about and of which, I assume don't care! It has made me appreciate so much more, and has allowed me to take a step back and appreciate how far we have come on this Earth; enjoying the little things in life.

@@generichomosapien4666 So do you believe that to not question, is better than to question?

I really like the way this was laid out. I’m most likely getting ahead of myself, where does intent become a factor?

[@GeorgWilde]

I think rather than rationalism vs empiricism vs skepticism, the more fundamental distinction is idealism vs dualism vs materialism. I am comeple noob, but i think the former are epistemological stances and the later metaphysical. I feel like the criteria for knowledge should depend on the metaphysical premiss. Let's say we can chose arbitrary metaphysics. Then it should entail whether knowledge is possible and by which means etc. I think subjective idealism, starting from the solipsism is the easiest, because every experience is then directly an existent and there is no existent beyond that. So we have absolutely certain metaphysical facts of the present moment and can build any criteria for knowlege on that - like say to know something about the world is to find some relationship between multiple "bundles" of experience. If we start from materialism on the other hand, we have no metaphysical facts about the world and we have to hope that our methods of finding knowlege will conincide with the metaphysical reality (we have a very little segment of reality which is the state of our mind, but we never can know for sure how that is connected to the rest of the world).

Questions that flowered the discipline of philosophy some maybe most people would call absurd perhaps. But, in my own life anyway they are the only questions truly worthy of both wanting as well as needing an answer to. It's understood, these questions are a luxury of leisure. Human beings are the only animals which have had this opportunity. You can survive without asking these questions, but only humanity has asked them, only humanity can. It's a departure from all of the requisite 'hows' in life. Once humanity arrived, philosophy-proper could finally ask the 'why'. No apriori jokes.

Philosophy is the science which considers the truth.

[@lotovalejnrnanai9505]

Theory has experience of conscience..but to develop conscience is to study compassionately..and concept of truth is to devide what's reason..you have to live and breathe philosophy of quantum..but seriousness of conscience..is to manipulate the quality of experience..so to condemn what's ventured through your mind is to calculate the consumption of infinity..so to think fast is to exult the truth of content..and to resolve what's going around in your head is to confiscate the exception of contrast

Sir please give me your free idea how much do you understand philosophy with humour...

[@shelleywinters6763]

good overview of the concepts thank you. It didn't look like they solved the problem of form, they just described it in different ways or dismissed one element over emphasis on another element, which still doesn't solve the problem. I hope there is a continuance to the next attempts. It gave me the idea of nature vs nurture what Plato said. I would have used the example of animals about how they are born with instinctive knowledge, where the food is, mating rituals, other things seem not learned but instinctive. We're animals so we must have some instincts we were born with. I was thinking that our brains have the ability to understand concepts, to see patterns, to learn language constructs. I could see where philosophy broke away from theology ans physics in this lecture as well. The last point scrubs out physics and just keeps philosophy in the realm of thought experiments and perceptions of the real world and how to acurately describe the world in a way we can all agree on.
