Philosopher to the End

Words to the End..

2011-01-11T14:16:00.001-08:00

If we knew then what we know now in life, what would be the point? Would we decide to take the same journey? And how would it affect not only us, but also the various Beings we come into contact with? The decisions we make from the things we face every day, and the lessons we learn from them create not only who we are, but also who we wish to become for the future. Sometimes we only find a speck of light in the darkness, but we must make use of that speck all we can to cultivate it into a blazing light.

Coming Out - Nature of Acceptance

2010-10-09T12:56:00.000-07:00

The act of Coming Out can be seen in many different ways… Coming out in terms of acceptance of something within this world, acceptance of others and things, or simply coming out within your own being. Leaving safety can be a frightening time; you may feel your own resistance to leave, others’ resistance because people are naturally inclined to be somewhat fearful of change, as well as resistance from the environment for what you might encounter down the path you have chosen to take.
Maybe it is not the best path, but you will not know that until you have taken it..

Knowledge

2010-10-09T12:52:00.000-07:00

The most ancient knowledge comes out of the depths, yet we must be willing to accept that we are seeing it as such, as well as accepting the messages it portrays and the meanings that are derived from each message. If we are not willing to be open in our belief systems, any new or different knowledge becomes useless to us, and will remain that way until we decide to change, in order to accommodate differences..

Light in the Darkness continued.....

2010-10-09T12:42:00.000-07:00

The Light in the Darkness only has as much power as you give it. The power of the both the Light and the Dark are fueled by one's own energy. This can come out of love and light, but also out of darkness from the darkest of nights.
If you go deep enough into the darkness you will find the light, waiting as if it were apparent all along, and just waiting for you..

back to normal

2010-07-27T10:20:00.001-07:00

Analyzing too much as usual.. it never ends (not that I'd expect it to).

Light..... to Dark

2010-04-09T11:13:00.000-07:00

What does Light mean? Is it the brightness vs. the Dark? Moreover, what does Dark mean? Simply the absence of Light? The two are interchangeable based upon both one's circumstance and perspective.

Light in the Darkness

2009-12-16T21:09:00.000-08:00

Discovering the beauty in the very nature of things.. The Light in the Darkness. It is always there, if one chooses to look for it.

Darkness

2009-11-21T19:12:00.000-08:00

What makes something, or someone dark? It is the shade/color of it? personality? Or is it merely a differential perception that everyone has on different things based on experience?

Light + Dark

2009-11-11T21:04:00.000-08:00

If Light and Darkness are complementary, why do many people's perceptions of the two differ so much?

One or Many?

2009-10-19T20:45:00.000-07:00

What is consciousness? Is it Something or Nothing? How does one determine this? By what means? Does the factor that only one is determining make it one way or the other for only one or many?

The Art of Knowing...

2009-10-09T18:53:00.000-07:00

Does a person ever really "know" another person? For that matter, does a person ever really "know" anything? What determines this? How much or how little? How is the measurement determined?

To be continued in a future book...

To Go Beyond...

2009-09-26T21:10:00.000-07:00

To go Beyond the Self.... where limitations are non-existent and possibilities run free..... lies the secret of it all.

To Know..

2009-09-25T13:03:00.001-07:00

To Know...... or to Know Not.. Is there really that much of a difference?

2009-09-08T16:20:00.000-07:00

Can mind + spirit alone create life?

notion

2009-09-07T20:39:00.000-07:00

Without understanding, we fight because we are frightened..

thought

2009-09-06T08:42:00.000-07:00

To Be, To Exist, To Live.... All prospects are questionable to the same degree.

just a thought

2009-09-05T20:23:00.000-07:00

Slipping down the eaves, the tendrils of life come to softly lie

work

2009-09-05T13:27:00.003-07:00

Starting something new..

It's All in the Way You Say It.......

2009-09-04T20:58:00.000-07:00

'Perception can change things around completely... making things the exact opposite of what they are supposed to be. It is a key factor in the present society, not only for how we see things but also for how we will respond to them. Should it be? There is so much out there that has been left untouched and unchanged, simply because people have not changed their thoughts to become open to more possibilities that exist for the meaning of a single word or phrase. Should things be inquired into as to their depth, or merely left as is? What knowledge are we gaining or leaving behind?'

More in an upcoming book I hope to have out by mid next year at the latest.

The Beginning

2009-09-04T20:18:00.000-07:00

A fresh new life begins every day. We die as we fall asleep, and we are freshly born into each day. Sometimes unknowingly, we report things from the day before, mainly because that is what we are already sure of.
We tend to only look at what is known - not at any such uncertainties. Doing this can bring different results, depending on one's awareness of the impact.

"Uncertain times
We travel through merely wandering
Exactly what is meant.

Unknowing what the future may bring,
If it will eventually come to anything
Or if it will simply fade away.."

When morning shows itself on the horizon, many things begin to happen. The sun peaks over the land, the colors from the sunrise are brought to life within all things - plants, animals, people, other objects...

writing

2009-09-04T19:47:00.001-07:00

My writing is usually one of the most detailed portrayals of my being.

2009-09-04T19:38:00.000-07:00

Simply debating the primal nature of autonomy.

Today..

2009-09-04T18:59:00.000-07:00

Today..... what is today? Is it simply the day following yesterday, and the day before tomorrow? What meaning does it hold? For that matter, what does day mean? Day and night are two separate things, or are they? What is the distinction?

New Beginnings

2009-09-04T18:54:00.000-07:00

New beginnings are a necessary part of our lives. When we strike out on a new path, we leave directionality in our wake for others to observe, and learn from if they wish.
Seeing the beauty in the desolate darkness, the water in the wind. It is all a matter of perception - we subconsciously choose what we want to see, to accept, to hear and to feel.

The end + the beginning are the same

2009-09-04T18:50:00.000-07:00

The end is merely the beginning of a new state of being. Should we look upon the end as a bad thing? not necessarily. It is a conclusion in a way, and a preamble or introduction to something different. It's all a matter of perspective.
