The Start of A New Age Philosophy Novel

[teggie]

I just starting writing on a novel about a philosophy of Love and Fear. Basically, it will incorporate the powers of the mind, perception, equality, love, and many other aspects that tie together inside one's thought process. I hope to make the world aware of a new age of thinking with the novel that intends, in the future, to bring the world closer to terms like Love and Peace.

What I'm looking for here is types of criticism like how well this start falls together (or doesn't), if you can understand the reasoning behind my ideals (or not), bits that might motivate me in solidifying each individual topic, as well as your feeling on how well these ideals can be thought upon and be applied to one's thinking.

Any other kind of critique you might find necessary to aid this process is certainly welcome. I hope to post updates of the novel and have a general amount of followers that find interest in inspiring me through their own personal philosophies.


LOVE AND FEAR

Everything in this Universe is something brought through the purities, Love and

Fear. Love and Fear, the most simplistic yet most powerful feelings, are the colliding

forces that brought about The Universe. An infinite purity that conflicted with an

oppositely infinite purity. How tragic a concept it is, just reading it can subdue a

realistic mind's interest.

We are raised, from birth, in a manner that fashions our interests through that of

common mediums. Such mediums, for example, are: the media, parents, friends, government,

and many outspread sources. When do we come to a point where what we believe in is

sculpted from our own, individual ideas? To understand this concept, I will have the

pleasure of releasing the constraints society has burdened upon thee, so that you may open

your mind and see a better world.

Remember, I cannot release you from constrained thinking by providing a medium of

interest. If I did this, it would contradict the idea of open-mindedness and free thinking

because your mind would still be acting off outside information. The goal here is to bring

your mind to a state where your beliefs are tied to your own original ideas and thoughts.

I intend to awaken a Power that lies within the recesses of your mind, rather than

provide a genre these ideals can dwell in.

It is true, we ultimately choose what to believe in based of the relevance of

opinions and facts presented to us. Ask yourself, "How many of these opinions and facts

have I proven true through my own experience with them?" For example, many people believe

in God, or don't, by experience with ideals they see relevant to believe. Some people

question God's existence when experiencing rough times, while others look to Him for

guidance. Why is it others' faith are affected and others' faith might not be so easily

afflicted?

Even though, we are presented reasoning to believe in God, our experience effects

this medium's reasoning. So, what we see on a day to day basis is the key factor that

molds the beliefs of our mediums. It is how we interpret these experiences that sway

reasoning, so to speak. This is called perception. What we perceive is the ultimately what

we believe and what we believe is as well what we perceive.

The trick here is to be able to intercept what we perceive with a mindset that

makes us able to. Our mindset, what we believe and how we have come to believe these

things, is another word for subconscious. Our subconscious is the determinant that separates

purities from falsities, or otherwise divides our beliefs. In order to effect our

perception, so that we can control the flow of ideals through our through process, we must

first understand the way our subconscious is intertwined with our reality.

'Subconscious'

Imagine an empty library. There are no books in this library, but there are

thousands of shelves. The books to be placed on these shelves are individuals thoughts.

Within these thoughts, or books, are individual ideas that build each individual thought.

These thoughts are organized into individual categories that we can call beliefs. So you

may possess a series of ideas that make a thought and a series of thought that make an

intricate belief.

One of the ways I personally have helped myself to understand the vast nature of

the subconscious is nature itself. "My mind is a resilient tree, with branches that expend

outwards infinitely in the space of the Universe. Over the skin of these branches lay

leaves of illustrious colour and divinity in all shapes and sizes. This tree will continue

to flourish through life and through death."

An idea is the purest form of creation in terms of thoughts, and therefore can

never be changed. However, it can always be added upon or removed from its placement in

your mind. The same reasoning applies for thoughts in terms of beliefs. This ties into

such a variet of Universal aspects that only you can determine how to apply such a

critical thought process. With this being said, I hope to make it easier to conclude the

train of your instincts.

By this point, you may or may not be able to piece together the process it takes

to interpret your thoughts, or beliefs, to a more understandably coherent picture. You

have a feeling it is necessary to believe in God, but you cannot wrap your head around

the concept. The reasoning behind this jurisdiction, at this point, is your most important

asset. You want to believe in God, but you don't know how to perceive such a deity. What

matters right now, is possessing the tools to achieve this want. 'Want' is where we shall

start.

Whatever it is you believe in, I'm positive it should not affect the widespread

opinion that want (and not wanting) is the motivation behind any means of action.



Thank you for reading. I await your feedback, and am eager to post future updates of the novel.

Update:

Whether you disagree or agree with what you read please, with your critique, come respectfully as I would for you. I understand what I write is very mentally stretched, but I assure you, it will fall together cleanly.

It is mentally stretched and I am not sure if I have clearly understood what you have tried to say. But this is a wonderful effort to seek for some absolute and ultimate reason and meaning for human existence. I hope this will be useful to you.

'The goal here is to bring your mind to a state…. '
This state of mind would be a high state of individualism that would require the mind to be freed from all acquired and imposed restrictions and limitations.



Prometheus Unbound of Shelley.
Prometheus- the Eternal Being (Cosmic or individual) who creates his own self-limitation, as he became the victim of Jupiter, (the personification of human institutions eg- the media, parents, friends, government,) by giving him power over heaven and earth.
Asia- the supreme receptacle of the experiences of the empirical aspect of life.
The marriage of Asia and Prometheus, that is, the union of experience and individualism, liberates humanity from itself.
It is through Love that the thoughts of man are liberated to form emancipated thought, or belief.
This is not simply the normal loving of the mass of humanity, but a power that disciplines and develops one’s response to experience.

I very much appreciate the feedback Chevalierdelame. Well, it would not be easy to understand my point with only the start of where this point comes from. This is barely the begginning to what I hope to make into a book. Your summary and examples are very similar to the concepts I hope to represent.
Thank you for the reply.

1 "What we perceive is the ultimately what we believe and what we believe is as well what we perceive."
Do you mean that belief and perception are interchangeably the cause and the effect?
2 By purities do you mean absolutes?
Looking forward to read your updates.

Chevalierdelame, I really appreciate your responses. The way you ask your questions does not only give you the chance for an answer, but gives me a very excellent way to perceive an answer to such questions that apply to the topic. On both questions, I have to say yes. A purity in the way I explain is can also be known as an absolute, a singularity, a whole, etc. You worded the cause and effect question perfectly. Everything on this world has to be the opposite of something else, and will only co-exist with its opposite.

Is your goal to be inclusive, open minded? If so, why refer to God, any god, as Him? Honestly I never understand why people are okay with the whole "white male until described otherwise" aspect of ... well, reality.

edit: perhaps use they/their/them?

[teggie]

God is a name to me how I use it. When you are refferring to a name with a third-person-noun (ex: Him, He, She) and there is no linking verb or adj. before the noun, you capitalize the noun. Ex: "He/(God) is divine." I, personally do not believe in God; I believe in correct grammar to every extent. Catch my drift? I Appreciate your response, nonetheless.

Thanks. Just something I thought of. I think it would be better to illustrate your points with examples. Because we think in symbols, in terms of the concrete, not the abstract. If you intend to do this later, that's fine.
