Allรฉluia!! Amen. Hosanna In Thรฉ Highest!
Thรฉ rรฉfรฉrence that Philosophy is ร deeper religion of thรฉ most intelligent people lends ร profond meaning to thรฉ business of Philosophy, which essentially consist in thรฉ application of REASON & KNOWLEDGE to provide solution to thรฉ problรจms of human life & existence.
Whenever I enter most intimately into what I call myself, I begin to see things visible and invisible with psycho-oculus vision, reading genuine and authentic meaning into thรฉ abstracts and microcosms of thรฉ Universe. This is philosophical in thรฉ highest degree.
But what is it that moves DESIRE? I answer: Happiness and that alone.
* Happiness in its full extent is thรฉ utmost pleasure we are capable of. Thรฉ nรฉcessity of pursuing true Happiness is thรฉ foundation of all liberty.
*Certainly, thรฉ government of our passion is thรฉ right improvement of liberty.
*The prรฉfรฉrence of vice to virtue is ร manifest wrong judgment.
*Revelation is ร source Of KNOWLEDGE. Thรฉ bare testimony of Revelation is the highest certainty - yet Revelation must be judged by REASON.
*Where there is a multiplicity of such personal Revelations, all inconsistent with each other, Truth or what passes as such becomes purely personal and losses its social character.
* Love of Truth is a very diffรฉrent thing from love of a particular doctrine which is proclaimed as the Truth.
*Enthusiasm-laying by REASON would set up a Revelation without it, whereby in effect it takes away both REASON & REVELATION and substitutes in the room of it the ungrounded fancies of a man's own brain.
*Men who suffer from melancholy or conceit are likely to have persuasions of immediate intercourse with thรฉ deity.
Hence, odd actions and opinions acquire Divine Sanction, which flatters men's laziness, ignorance and vanity.
*Reason consists of two parts: first, an inquiry as to what thing we know with certainty;
second, an investigation of propositions which is wise to accept in practice, although they have only probability and not certainty in their favour.
Thรฉ grounds of probability are two: conformity with our own expรฉrience, or thรฉ testimony of others expรฉrience.
* Knowledge is thรฉ perception of the agreement or disagreement of two idรฉas. From this it would seem to follow immediately that we cannot know of the existence of other people, or of the physical world, for thรจse thing, as they exist, are not merely idรฉas in our minds. Each one of us accordingly, must so far as KNOWLEDGE is concernรฉd be shut up in himself and cut off from all contact with the outer world.
Knowledge, in its educational frame, is thรฉ acquisition of facts and information.
We have three kinds of KNOWLEDGE of real existence.
Our KNOWLEDGE of our own existence is intuitive, our KNOWLEDGE of GOD's existence is demonstrative and our KNOWLEDGE of things present to sensรฉ is sensitive.
Perception is thรฉ first step and degrรฉe towards KNOWLEDGE, and thรฉ inlet of all the materials of it.
*Wisdom, I take to be the Knowledge of things Divine and human, and of their causes. It is thought by which all things are steered through all things. It is the right application of Knowledge to solve the problem of life.
* God has laid down certain moral rules: those who follow them go to Heaven, but by Divine Sanction or His Grace, and those who break them risk going to hell-fire.
*The prudent Pleasure-seeker will therefore be virtuous. It is very important that ๐ฌ men should be guided, as far as possible, by their long-run interest. That is to say, men ๐ฌ should be prudent.
Prudence is the one Virtue which remains to be preached, for every lapse from Virtue is a failure of Prudence. A prudent man will act in such and such ways since otherwise God will punish him.
Virtue with a view to Heaven is psychologically very analogous to saving with a view to investment.
*God's decrees are not arbitrary, but are inspired by His ๐ก Goodness & Wisdom.
*Blessedness, which consists of Love towards God, is not the reward of Virtue but Virtue itself. We do not rejoice in it because we control our lusts; but we control our lusts because we rejoice in it.
*The wise man, in so far as he is regarded as such is scarcely at all disturbed in spirit, but being conscious of himself, and of God, and of things by a certain eternal necessity, never ceases to be, but always possesses true acquiescence of his spirit.
*But all excellent things are as difficult as they are rare.
* The statement that "Love of God" must hold the chief place in the mind is not a primarily moral exhortation, but an account of what must inevitably happen as we acquire understanding.
* Sweetness is a pleasure and bitterness a pain, therefore, both are mental. It is also urged that a thing that tastes sweet when I am well may taste bitter when I am ill.
*Similar argument is found about odours: since they are pleasant or unpleasant, they cannot exist in any but a perceiving substance or mind.
What does not inhere in matter must of necessity inhere in a mental substance since nothing can be both mental and material.
*Sin has its source in freedom: it arose because man turned towards himself instead of towards God.
*Evil ๐ in itself does not have its ground in God, for God is Good & in Him there is no nature of ๐ evil; for evil is a deprivation of Good - though both Good & Evil work together as instruments for His Service.
*Self-consciousness is the highest form of KNOWLEDGE. But the highest kind of KNOWLEDGE must be that possessed by the Absolute, and as the Absolute is the Whole, there is nothing outside Itself for It to know.
*The mind's highest good is the ๐ KNOWLEDGE of GOD, and the mind's highest Virtue is to know God.
*Emotions are called "Passions" when they spring from inadequate ideas. Passions in different ๐ฌ men may conflict, but men who live in obedience to REASON or God will agree together.
*It is true that obedience to God flows freely from a ♥ heart of ๐ Love.
*The New Birth takes only a moment: Growth in Holiness takes a life-time.
*The best way to know God's Will is to say "I Will" to God.
Fear fades as Faith increases in its growth. Keep the Faith but not to yourself.
*What sin has twisted, God's Grace can strengthen.
*People will not be judged by the way we see them, but by the Way God sees them.
*God's dawn of deliverance often comes when the hour of trial is darkest.
*A world without Christ De Messiah would be a world without Hope.
No Gift is more needed by dying world than a living Saviour, Who is Christ De Messiah. Unless Christ De Messiah is the center of interest, life will be out of focus.
*GOD's Judgment may not be immediate, but it is inevitable.
*Pray not for a life free from trouble, but for triumph over trouble.
*We shape tomorrow's world by what we teach our children today.
*CHRIST De MESSIAH gave Himself for us that we might give ourselves for others.
*What we call "adversity" God calls "opportunity". Where we have nothing left but God, we will find that God is enough.
*Those in power need the Power of Prayer.
*No one is more secure than those who are in God's Hands.
*Spiritual Wholeness begins with a broken ♥ heart.
*An idol is anything that takes the "Place of God" in your ♥ heart.
*Repentance clears the Way for our๐ถwalk with God.
*The Compass of GOD's WORD will keep you from spiritual ๐ข shipwreck.
*Christians & Zionists live in the world, but should not let the world live in them.
*We dishonour God when we despise others.
*To resent and remember brings strife; to forgive and forget brings Peace.
*A thankful person enjoys a blessing twice - when it is received, and when it is remembered.
*The better we know ourselves, the less we will criticize others.
*You cannot repent too soon, for you don't know how soon it may be too late.
*We may give without loving, but we cannot love without giving.
* Spiritual fitness comes from "working out" your Faith.
*Wealth is a double blessing when it is used for the blessing of others.
*Love increases as we give it away. Beautiful Love is a Love that forms one's inner being for it to reform; evaluating one's self to meet certain norms; checking one's inner self, wanting to be reborn.
Beautiful Love is a love that moulds the brains of ๐ฌ men, their minds unfold, minds that think of Good deeds untold; minds that reflect, turning things like gold. It is Love that constructs the web of life to be worthy and strong. It is a Love that disrupts Society's ills, corruption, greed and graft.
Love is that velvet smooth feeling that teleports man into the dimension of Peace and Harmony, balanced high over the abyss of hate. Beautiful Love is the Love that fashions the destiny of ๐ฌ men, that today, tomorrow and at the end human beings could mingle with their Maker.
*A concealed Love is a Love that finds itself in an unfavourable climate, and therefore a Love that doesn't manifest itself because it is inhibited to function properly. This Love is no better than a revealed REPROOF.
*A Belief is a lively idea related to or associated with present impression. Through association, if A & B have been constantly conjoined in the past experience, the impression of A produces that lively idea of B which constitutes belief in B.
In the best thinking, I am sensible that of all paradoxes, which I have had or shall hereafter have occasion to advance in the course of my apologetic dimension of the ministerial life and work, the most imminent one is the most violent, and it is merely by dint of solid proof and reasoning I can ever hope it will gain admission, and overcome the inveterate prejudices of mankind.
So Help Me - God!
