Honestly, I am having trouble deciphering what you are trying to say.

Thank you for your reply. I don't doubt it! : "to make it through the test of time" is a highly demanding standard. Which "is foolishness to those who are perishing". I mean no offense directed at you as I say that, only to let you know what's up.

Is anyone aware of an argument catastrophic to Howison's "personal idealism"? by Pt-Ir_parsecin askphilosophy

[–]Pt-Ir_parsec[S] 1 point 18 days ago 

O.P. ("And blessed is the one who takes no offense at me."-[Matthew 11: 6])

I do not ask this question from weakness. At least, not unless you consider the following "weakness": having tried my damndest, I can't find a (pressing) crack; and am OPEN to anyone/argument more clever than I have been/found.

My formal education is in science and/ chemical engineering. But my "mistress" and "true love" has been metaphysics. And the single best day of my life? Has to be - you can tell I'm not married, right? ;-) - the day I first read the title essay of George Holmes Howison's magnum opus, "The Limits of Evolution, and other essays, illustrating the metaphysical theory of personal idealism". What he provided me at the time was the final lynch pin to my "independent investigation". And a gloriously more advanced and comprehensive line of argument and set of conclusions, to be sure. That was three years ago this month. Since then I have spent no little time considering, challenging, etc. his/my position. And like I said, and like my formal education has taught me to look for in such "high times", I can't find a (pressing) crack. Thus I am want to let my exuberance breath. But I'd really appreciate the "peer review"; perhaps I am not as competent as I feel myself warranted to be?

I have tried to "sell", the mere consideration of him, at pretty much every opportunity I could find since then. To little if any success. Oh to find someone who will merely read him (earnestly)! I was just the other day apprised of this site. It probably needn't be said that I have no personal contact to speak of with professional philosophers; but as I understand it, Howison is no "hot topic" with (like, any of) them anyway. Perhaps I am "clutching at straws" here? I sure hope not.

Consolation questions: why does Howison not draw the interest I so think he deserves? Why will you not read (a few hours for the incredible first essay, a few days for the book: change/AFFIRM your life) him even now? Or, anyone know where I might look for someone who has read and has something significant to say about Howison's metaphysic? Or a suggestion as to how I might better find some attention for him/my issue here at reddit?

anyway, here's a link to the 2nd (1905) printing:

http://books.google.com/books?id=dg3wkAkfKQ4C&printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&q&f=false

even if in the spirit of "know they enemy", or as an example of what not to "do", shouldn't philosophers widely know this (lost) genius?

O.P.: (can't stand the thought of this Demi Lovato "Skyscraper" "window" being broken and not-"fixed")

I found this sub through the post in /r/theology.

I don't suppose I will have much to per se contribute here.

However, the title quote is of astounding moment! Empiricists assert that experience "itself" is the trustworthy ground. That knowledge can come only after experience. My fave philosopher, George Holmes Howison, proved that - a la Kant - experience can in no way be simple, but must always be complex. That integral to any experience is a priori Knowlege. Phenomena demand Noumena!

Howison went on to prove that the noumenal, the eternal, must be a (a priori cxmplxplura) persons . That personality demands likewise pluralism. These are ("real as rocks and trees") thinKs we can (I do) Know; beyond a shadow of doubt. "My people suffer for want of Knowledge."-Bible.

I'dealism triumphs.

I~am, and there is no fundamentally different beside me.

"No disciple is greater than the teacher, but when fully trained, every disciple will be like his teacher."-[Luke 6: 40]

=x="I~am: the way; the truth; and the life."-Gospel

I~am: spontaneously sxlf-ordinate. ("the unmoved mover", "man the measure of all thin[k]s")

Howison's "final cause", teleology, replaces the wanting (idolatrous) pursuits of efficient causation. "Seek first the Kingdom"-[Matthew 6: 33] is our Grand (Howisonian Xhristianity) "Duty". At p.7 (http://books.google.com/books?id=dg3wkAkfKQ4C&printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&q&f=false):

For the very quality of personality is, that a person is a being who recognises (sic) others as having a reality as unquestionable as his own, and who thus sees himself as a member of a moral republic, standing to other persons in an immutable relationship of reciprocal duties and rights, himself endowed with dignity, and acknowledging the dignity of all the rest."

"It", You, We, each of us, be a Royal "Problem". No casual "take sh*t for granted", "here one day, gone the next", mere effect of some loveless Absolute. The "secret" of God's phenomenal successes is his perpetual attentiveness to "the worst". "Let the greatest amongst you be as the least."-Jesus, Gospel.

Howison's title essay is a Must Read! For more detail on the following I point you to p.39, but, at p.53:

Plain in the doctrinal firmament of every Christian, clear like the sun in the sky, should shine the warning: Unless there is a real man underived from Nature, unless there is a spiritual of rational man independent of the natural man and legislatively sovereign over entire Nature, then the Eternal is not a person, there is no God, and our faith is vain.

"knowledge must precede every act."!

/u/funny_original_name (in full),

Your formatting makes this really hard to read :/ Maybe take out the superscript and use bold or italics or something? I'm a little confused with your use of (pbuh) and the "Wa alaikum assalaam" considering your Roman Catholic flair. Are you Arabic or Middle Eastern?

noted. I will not be purchasing a "*" (edit) on this thread starter though; for better and worse, twill remain "what I have written I have written". However, if you give it another read (or few), perhaps you will find something to appreciate of the unorthodox (patterns)?

About the latter half, I have not entered into any vanguard /r/christianity stuff for a while, but, earlier, I had written a little spiel about how I imbue meaning into my (Roman Catholic upbringing) Cross. Conventionally speaking, I am not Arabic or Middle Eastern, but american suburban cracker ;-) I embrace Pluralism in the George Holmes Howisonian sense (and have suggest such a flair before: if I look now will it be there? I doubt it.). These terms are no threat to me, and certainly no threat to my "I have other sheep who do not 'belong' to this fold." Jesus.

Haha! It appears I have my very own internet stalker! You're my first.

If I am reading your writings correctly, you are taking me to task for my joke (so denoted by the laughing smiley-face) about socially scorning and mocking Rush after having agreed with the statement concerning degradation and its immorality. My joke was not intended as an actual encouragement to give any manner of harassment or degradation to the members of the band. Quite the contrary, I would absolutely disagree with any effort to do so, and would wonder at the motivations of any who would take the time to heap such onto the heads of the members of the band. I was injecting a bit of humor into the discussion, which I find to be useful sometimes on sensitive subjects. I do strongly dislike both Rush and most modern Christian music, but I do not believe any of them should be illegal to play in a workplace, so long as it does not create a hostile work environment.

Who is the best (or most noble) human being you have personally known, and what did they do to deserve being called that? by Broskanderin AskReddit

[–]Pt-Ir_parsec 1 point 19 days ago 

Some years ago I was off to a nearby foodbank on the once weekly basis. Occasionally this middle-aged woman would come with a teenaged girl close by her side; I presumed it was mother and daughter, but never imposed myself to ask. To my current recollection, I never once heard this girl speak a dictionary word. Nor was she deaf. "Awkward" were the motions of here limbs. Neither did I ever bother them to ask if there was a label they preferred for her distinction.

It is this girl who comes to mind - and remains still upon reflection - as the most noble human being I have had the privilege to personally "know". You should have seen her smile! My heart spontaneously fluttered at the instant; and my soul assuredly declared "Peace!". Her love did not pass sentence; it harbored no condemning judgment. She radiated the glory of God, unsoured with "the business affairs of life"-[2 Timothy 2: 4].

I know "this (phenomenal distinction) too shall pass", but I pray she will then come to reflect upon the sentiment I captured in the Radiohead lyric, Karma Police: "It's the best thing that you ever had. The best thing that you ever e-ver had."

Thank you, /u/Broskander, for the spur to remembrance. I have been thinking about this topic a good deal over the recent weeks, how better I might pursue it, while retaining my other ("born from 'the meta-"-) responsibilities, but she it's been years never popped into my thoughts.

Now, far be it from me to argue that there is absolutely no place for derision in "the building up of 'the church'", but I do prod you to reconcile yourself for us here.

And for my part, ... well, let me cut to a quick:

Robert Pirsig's so-called "Metaphysics of Quality", as presented and endorsed, is a travesty. Yet, if one comes to see that that line of "ordering your world", - precisely that one!, - serves as "this is no good", ... That is, if one focuses on that form, pursuing it as one would a goddess for whom one is doomed to Eternal unrequited Love, yet Love , one stands to find the formidable characteristic equi-valence had RMP's back all along. "I will show them my back, not my face, in their day of disaster."-[Jeremiah 18: 17]

stiff-necked spinelessness the the whole of the sane heart?

Divine ridicule is (and clearly so for those who have sense enough to smell all the shit) proper love, patience, forbearance, alternative, "not wanting that any should perish, but that all should come to eternal life". But the rebels bethink themselves wise to, "you seen one, you seen 'em all", "call a sp[hincter] a sp[hincter]".

The One Universal Mind by BaronIronsidein spirituality

[–]Pt-Ir_parsec 1 point 20 days ago 

DANGER!!!, /u/BaronIronside, Danger!

"The One Universal Mind" could only obtain in omnicide. While the precise pinnacle of morality is, in fact, to positively defend the right of consideration of the granting of assent to omnicide, it is, concomitantly, the pinnacle of immorality to positively pursue such granting as telos!

"The One Absolute Mind" has gone by the name "Absolute" under certain other - more dialectic-centered - metaphysicians. The bible refers to it as "the so-called deep secrets of Satan"-[Revelation 2:24]. Don't get your panties in a bunch here ;-) , it is far easier to remedy a good heart-with-a pre-mature mind than a pre-mature mind-with-a bad heart. You will need to make that J.-turn though.

Consider Josiah Royce. He called himself an idealist (philosopher). In word he seemed to trumpet "the great society", and "loyalty" foremost. But behind closed doors he raged wolf, he desired "to be wise in his own eyes". He did not give Glory to God. He did not take to heart the $ervant before him. He aimed to please men, and occupy the honored shelve spaces with his tomes. He was after the great "I did this". Even Howison did not Conclude that the wool was cosmetic; qua "Didn't wanna Play with me, wanted to show me how."-DMX, "Let me Fly"; or, at least, if he did, even I have not concluded that Howison was so-ooooooo Dope! I think, though, that Howison gave Royce the benefit of the doubt, when what was needed was to lure him into "the trap house". (You'll forgive me for so much detail that you won't immediately digest.)

Royce wasn't playing the game righteously. "we each walk the path that we have chosen."-DMX, "Ready to Meet Him". When God forgives, indeed, "and I shall remember their sins no more.". To be sure, "we have received grace for grace"; the forgivenesses themselves become the "fixed points": Truth doesn't change, but the repercussions do! Characteristic equi-valence (=x=) is "the devil is in the details"; and tat tvam asi.

God is ever-attentive to "the worst". That is the cross he bears. Willingly. Jesus' invitation is for any who would confess his Name (that is, in like Character), to Likewise maturity. In this is the font of Divine progress, "living waters". "The One Universal Mind" is (and forever and ever Amen will be) a shadow. Here is a snippet from Royce's "The Conception of God", wherein Howison (there was a middle section with counter-offers) says this of Royce's Absolute; At p. 90:

In other words, the conception is a philosophical and real account of the nature of an isolated human being, or created spirit, the numerical unit in the created universe, viewed as such a spirit appears in what has well been called its natural aspect; viewed, that is, as the organising subject of a natural-scientific experience, marked by fragmentariness that is forever being tentatively overcome and enwholed, — if I may coin a word to match the excellent German one ergänzt.”

This is astounding and hard to handle, but, what it means and this is technically incontrovertible is that this "The One Universal Mind" you pursue, with a good heart, will either leave you devastated, having lead yourself "why did we go, all the way"(-Future, "Real and True") down the wide path of utter destruction, or, will find your cup overflowing with joy for having found "your big self". I suggest: baby steps. I suggest: the realest (religious) work comes in day-to-day fine points, "little" "miracles", which the bounders fancy mere child's play. YOU CAN SAY THAT AGAIN!, but if only you understood!!

eNOUGH - "this is high level, not eye level" - for now,

P.S. Josiah, no disrespect bra.we good?

O.P.:

I have noticed a re-occurring theme throughout a number of self-help books regarding the "One Universal Mind", or the concept of nonduality. Basically put, this is the idea that we are all one and that we are a physical manifestation of the Universe, experiencing itself through our collective experiences.

This idea is found in The Master Key System by Charles Haanel:

"The Universal Mind, being infinite and omnipotent, has unlimited resources at its command, and when we remember that it is also omnipresent, we cannot escape the conclusion that we must be an expression or manifestation of that Mind."

...and also in The Secrets of Secrets by Uell S. Andersen:

"Universal Mind is a vast and all-encompassing mental and spiritual being in whom all things and events exist. The principal quality of this Mind is that it is just one, infinite in size, eternal in scope, and nothing exists outside It. It is an enormous sea of consciousness, pervading all, supporting all, and individual consciousness grows out of It. All things are made from It; It is rock, sea, bird, beast, man. All things in their true essence, then, are mental, or spiritual, and the rock itself is not a rock at all but merely an example of enclosed or restricted consciousness. Awareness is in the rock. Universal Mind is there."

...and for a more recent example, this concept is also found in Rhonda Byrne's bestselling book, The Secret:

"All that exists is the One Universal Mind, and there is nowhere that the One Mind is not. It exists in everything. The One Mind is all intelligence, all wisdom, and all perfection, and it is everything and everywhere at the same time. If everything is the One Universal Mind, and the whole of it exists everywhere, then it is all in You! So whichever way you look at it, the result is still the same. We are One. We are all connected. And we are all part of the One Energy Field, or the One Supreme Mind, or the One Consciousness, or the One Creative Force. Call it what you want, but we are all One."

I am fascinated by this concept and was wondering whether anyone here could suggest any other books which deal with this idea, or if anyone would merely be interested in sharing their own thoughts on the matter?
