Philosophy:
The rational
investigation of questions about existence and knowledge and ethics
There are of course other interpretations
of philosophy; I however generally live by the interpretation above, of course
this can be mistaken in thinking too much. The consensus is; there is simply no
quietening of the mind within this kind of expression of philosophy.
Considering that Buddhism is known as a philosophy, and the state that Buddha
found himself in was of complete stillness, it is obvious philosophy can also
quieten the mind.
So how does philosophy do this? Certain
expression of philosophy frees you from the egos control. There is no more expression
of a black and white mentality, negative and positive, bad and good, wrong and
right, black and white, basically, everything becomes as one and is perceived
as one. It's simply all a perception anyway, all separated perceptions simply
become as one thus a neutralisation of the mind of all perceptions is created.
How I did this is explained in a reply I
gave someone on a philosophy forum, this was in relation to philosophy
itself.

Philosophy,
to me, is about free thinking void of the control of other ideologies and isms
doctrines and dogmas. This is anything from religion to atheist materialism.
I
love exploring the environment free from the dogmas of ideologies and isms, at
the same time being free to use the concepts of ideologies and isms to explore
this environment.
In
dealing with people who restrict free thinking processes, I probably become a
little too clinical within my philosophies. I am quite clinical when it comes
to abuse period, either that be the restriction of free thinking, like the
abuse of philosophy from certain groups, or mental and physical abuse.
Within
this philosophy of true free thinking, I am able to explore the environment
free from mental limitations. This allows people like me to observe parts of
the environment other people are unable to observe I feel
I
would not give up my free thinking for anything.
Also, after a number of rebuttals, not to
do with the above mentioned:
Sorry
people, I often do this, I think way outside the square at times, this can be
taken as an insult to some people, my apologies.
If
you are unable to comprehend where I am coming from, simply ignore me, please.
Very few people take head of what I say anyway and understandably so.
This
is strange, I do have a lot of friends in real life who adore me, not sure why
myself!! Maybe it's to do with my wife and not me!!
