Personal philosophy, a master class.

Posted by writetothepoint1960 on

So I don’t mean to sound difficult or disrespectful to all it is a difficult subject to iterate.

I am taking a kind of mathematical approach universal approach much of our experience and knowledge to date have taken course or lenses of reality or consciousness. Consciousness is an interesting mask. Science is studying as the hard question of consciousness by Don Hoffman and his team at Berkeley University or the University of California.

I tend to look at not just his work, but the teams as one and him as a leader, and I am assuming something by my mistake about individuals from his team. It must be my own bias. I worked as an image analysis in molecular medicine for a team at the University of Edmonton in the 80s department of Nuclear Medicine. This all started with my apprenticeship in photography from a master photographer and geography department back when science was still developing interdisciplinary approaches towards a more integrated forms of today I almost often think of myself as a kind of generalist.

I am taking his philosophy towards the quantum to Universal scale and think in terms like personal philosophy, cosmology and product outputs to grasp scale and boundaries to interpret consciousness within itself and the limits of the known universe.

I think solitude is a noise, reducing chamber, symbolically, and physically.

Well confirming or not anecdotal or N equals one data is showing me all the above. I am generally learning to live a better life as an output if that’s all I get out of it, I believe it resonates with inner peace.

My personal mantra is be present. Do no harm do my best and use the proper use of impressions through following my curiosity while being a lifelong learner and being a health span and goal orientation, individual who practises dialogue, journaling, and blogging, photography, hiking, exercise, mindfulness, and the proper use of impressions in all my affairs I have a theory I break into parts and digest in practice as clips of incremental ways of living a better life with good habits and eliminating bad ones. This is a description not an indictment.

So this may help you understand a framework for building your own personal philosophy. Now, there’s way more that you can get out of this through practice, thanreading one simple blog about it or even all of the blogs that I’ve ever written about it on this blog, there’s so much more to it and it’s because it’s something that you live. It’s not something that you talk about or it’s not something that you try to do on your own or whatever, it’s way more part of your living than you think already, it’s just that it helps you align your life to actually living the proper way through a better way of living incrementally and this may sound convoluted and you know, unscientific and very much like self-help or something like that but it’s way deeper and it’s way more sophisticated and it’ll take you time to sort of get your own grasp of what this means and how to do it sort of thing, but if I was to untangle it all for you simply and just put in a nutshell it wouldn’t make much sense either so I have established this way of informing the dialogue by describing what I’m doing and it’s certified like an end of one that’s a scientific methodology. N=1 or n=1.

Good luck and best regards,

I have this dialog with google!

I have been ranting about my personal philosophy from various topics to distill the elements out of this dialog take a look at the link below.

This may seem like a masterclass in how to do a personal philosophy but it is a way to live a better life.

The Art Of Learning And Living

Posted by writetothepoint1960 on

Is art a love?  It’s like an equation, one part of knowledge and one part of effort. If a sensation which is experience is a matter of chance. The book is the Art of loving and the author is Enrich Fromm. I like to think the book has some chance or luck to it as well. Love or be loved I’ll do it. I’ll need it to be reciprocated to make it better how to be loved and how to love other being loveable seems to be successful and have sex appeal in this consumer culture we live in packages like personality much like a value of a package, which is comprised of body mind and heart.

The marriage and consummation can seem intimate exciting and with in a short time, become boring and falling out of love as this sense is lost to negative motion, states of mind and even another practice.

This notion of nothing being easier than to love has continued to be a prevalent idea. There is hardly any activity any enterprise which is started with such tremendous hopes and expectations and yet which fails so regularly as love.

But I speak of incremental learning to learn to be a better life and I use critical analysis to find a better way to live a good life.

Since the failure to love, I need to examine and proceed to the meaning of love. What are the necessary ways to learn any kind of art, the art of living the art of loving, the art of ageing, the art of being any art can be learnt, and it can be conveniently broken into two parts.

 The first is the theory of love and the second is the practice of love. I have done this with living or the art of living by studying to learn the way to live as a stoic, a adult, a mindful man or a person in the theory and digested parts into practice by reminding myself of this theory to live with those aspects within my control, the intrinsic ways to treat myself to learn this may let my curiosity lead to the stoic for taoist and become intuitive with practice in a mindful way to know this art when applying parts of the theory over and over through practice with what I eventually know, felt enthusiastically used like steps, patterns, even shapes or a mantra like a personal philosophy, this blending into one is more intuitive. And it’s like the art of living a theory practised and felt and talked about, wrote about, discussed with family and friends, applied to self and therefore others, living, loving ageing, being and this describes the way, so you do it with the proper impression with mastery this is what Fromm, The Art Of Loving, call the third factor: loving must be the utmost important.

There must not be nothing else in the world more important than the art this holds true for everything you learn like music, medicine, carpentry or what I’m saying for what you learn for yourself which is love, living, ageing, being. And maybe this can describe the answer to why people try so rarely to learn this art in spite of the deep seated craving for love (the survival mode called reproduction to produce humanity).

I’m learning to use this information to express how to live a better life.

Day Light Savings Time?

Posted by writetothepoint1960 on

Hey, AI, when is daylight savings time?

In Victoria, British Columbia, Daylight Saving Time (DST) begins on Sunday, March 9, 2025, when clocks are set forward by one hour. It ends on Sunday, November 2, 2025, when clocks are set back by one hour.

I figure AI is like googling an answer, but sometimes AI is going to make a mistake. I asked what kind of car I saw in a movie and it said 85’ and it was 2025 ish. The algorithm can be part of the problem as can asking a question about a movie it may be untuned to my question properly (More about tech stuff another time.).

Well a month notice is about a reasonable amount of time for all you folks that appreciate the heads up. I just know I am starting to factor it in for myself. Good luck with the transition from light night to dark. The season is getting ready and so am I but more for Halloween!

Hey mom hey kids don’t get to carried away this year. My job, look who is talking, I am just as impulsive or more than some of you. Happy DST and Halloween.

Tomorrow: the stoic, the mountain and the monkey mine

Posted by writetothepoint1960 on

The old man slept on it well. He discovered a treasure in his mind: simplicity, compassion, patience, open mind, mindfulness, lifelong learning, incremental learning, doing his best, doing no harm and practicing the proper use of impressions.

He has been reading about many things over the years and has discovered many ways to interpret knowledge based upon his experience.

He is confident that learning and experience is the key to monkey mind. He has been undergoing different kinds of food, exercise and sleep to find more exercises to practice.

He is finding abstractions and partial truths and a direction towards controlling the monkey mind. He has discovered it to be a lifelong condition that applied learning can help make better.

He is still looking into it and will be practicing his exercises for a very long time.

Is he ever going to find a way to live with this puzzle he calls the monkey mind?

Celebrating Canada Day: A Dialogue on Unity and Compassion

Posted by writetothepoint1960 on


On this Canada Day, we reflect not only on our Canadian identity but also on our shared humanity as citizens of the world. In a dialogue with Epictetus, we explore how celebrating our diversity can promote understanding and compassion globally.

Dialogue:

Student: Epictetus, I am happy to be a Canadian citizen today. But how can I celebrate Canada Day as a citizen of the world?

Epictetus: As your mentor, I commend your appreciation for your citizenship. To celebrate Canada Day as a citizen of the world, consider the following:

  1. Reflect on Shared Values: Acknowledge the principles of peace, tolerance, and respect that underpin not only Canadian identity but also our shared humanity. Reflect on how these values connect you to others, regardless of nationality.
  2. Embrace Diversity: Engage with the diverse cultures and communities within Canada. Celebrate the richness of different perspectives and traditions, recognizing how they contribute to the global tapestry of humanity.
  3. Acts of Kindness: Use this occasion to perform acts of kindness. Small gestures can create ripples of goodwill, embodying the Stoic principle of justice and promoting harmony among all people.
  4. Mindful Celebration: While festivities may abound, approach them with mindfulness. Enjoy the celebrations but also take moments to reflect on the broader implications of your citizenship and how you can contribute positively to the world.
  5. Educate and Advocate: Use this day to learn about important issues affecting not only Canadians but also people around the globe. Engage in conversations that promote understanding and advocate for justice and compassion.

Conclusion:
As we celebrate Canada Day, let us embrace our shared values and recognize the potential for unity among all citizens of the world. By fostering compassion and a nonviolent stance towards global issues, we can contribute to a more harmonious and understanding planet.

Call to Action:
Join me in reflecting on these principles and consider how you can embody them in your daily life. Together, let us celebrate this day not only as Canadians but as global citizens committed to compassion and unity.

This is a prompt to journal about the values that are present in the world today. Happy Canada Day!

Harmony and Healing Body and Mind

What’s your #1 priority tomorrow?

Theory: ‘the good life’ can be attained through practice because beauty is in the eye of the beholder who also is conscious and good is conscious but good is not bad. The good is conscious of truth and beauty and unification.

The self then has soul as an individual, a group and as vitality, truth, beauty and intelligence which is unified with the good.

This is the spiritual equivalent of consciousness as good. By the soul of the individual prepares to be contacted through consciousness of good. He must study first principles to reduce his thinking in a form called reason, discipline, order and precision. In this manner, the soul can unify with the group and ultimately with the good.

Imagine a curious, studious individual preparing to encounter consciousness of good, knowing he will not be able to retain any body or form. What can he do? By practice of conscious thought or reason, he can reason what he experienced what he knows right up to the point he does not know and examine this dream or learn what he can when he is again conscious of good, the group is souls in humanity and as himself as a soul of his individual unique self.

This individual has just gone on an experimental journey beyond all by contact with universal consciousness. Can this individual learn ‘the good life’ from this manner? It is a spiritual concept. What is the harm? What is the best? What is now? And what is the proper use of impressions?

This is what the man is contemplating while being contacted by this consciousness of good.

Join in if you dare and explore consciousness. Prepare by studying first principles and be disciplined in your approach.

This may teach you how to live the good life.

Time off, but more about the good life.

I like not knowing better than knowing mindfulness or the “good life”.

Should you? I am not a Guru (blog or internet).

Don’t even go below to read the AI dialogue (it is intense rambling with normal AI goop.

Face your fears, really, maybe, who knows?

I like math or how my mind subconsciously works to build habits or how my consciousness does the same. How does math work for your intelligence.

What about how does philosophy work for my intelligence and discipline?

The truth and beauty and bliss I associate with consciousness and my soul (spiritual) category is Aristotle like to me. I like to study happiness using my reason in the discipline of Ancient Greek Philosophy.

Want to go there, I dare you….
