Philosophy has made no progress? If somebody scratches where it itches, does that count as progress? If not, does that mean it wasn't an authentic scratch? Not an authentic itch? Couldn't this response to the stimulus go on for quite a long time until a remedy for itching is found?

Richard McKay Rorty / Richard Rorty / Philosophy of Richard Rorty

RORTY ADVOCATED THE CREATION OF A CULTURE OF GLOBAL HUMAN RIGHTS IN ORDER TO STOP VIOLATIONS FROM HAPPENING THROUGH A SENTIMENTAL EDUCATION. HE ARGUED THAT WE SHOULD CREATE A SENSE OF EMPATHY OR TEACH EMPATHY TO OTHERS SO AS TO UNDERSTAND OTHERS' SUFFERING. 

RICHARD MCKAY RORTY WAS AN AMERICAN PHILOSOPHER. EDUCATED AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO AND YALE UNIVERSITY, HE HAD STRONG INTERESTS AND TRAINING IN BOTH THE HISTORY OF PHILOSOPHY AND CONTEMPORARY ANALYTIC PHILOSOPHY, THE LATTER OF WHICH CAME TO COMPRISE THE MAIN FOCUS OF HIS WORK AT PRINCETON UNIVERSITY IN THE 1960S. HE SUBSEQUENTLY CAME TO REJECT THE TRADITION OF PHILOSOPHY ACCORDING TO WHICH KNOWLEDGE INVOLVES CORRECT REPRESENTATION OF A WORLD WHOSE EXISTENCE REMAINS WHOLLY INDEPENDENT OF THAT REPRESENTATION.

Being Centred

19th August 2022

From the true perspective of Who You Are, the body you inhabit is animated with different energy fields which vivify the material of the body.

It is known that immediately at the time of death the body begins to disintegrate, that something has gone, leaving behind just the mortal shell.

These Energy Fields animate the corporeal presence which carry the coding of DNA inherited through the blood of family genetics. Within the genetic coding there is also more coding that you as an individual bring, related to the Akashic Records.

These records encapsulate all knowledge and wisdom that your soul has acquired  through your many life-times on Earth.

This knowledge is contained in a quantum manner and can be accessed once you have become centred and no longer pulled by mental and emotional responses to your lives. Having acquired inner peace with self knowledge, access to the entire Akashic wisdom is available.

Within those Akashic Records is the totality of all life-times lived and lessons learnt. With that access comes wisdom and clarity for right action, no longer repeating old patterns or showing poor judgement.

In this lies Mastery.

today I saw a building burn down

as I sat on the train heads started turning, people gasped then went unbearably quiet. a cloud of black smoke rose dense and deadly from the upper floors of the high-rise building.

when I stepped out onto the plattform there was not a single noise as we stood in horror, a horror we could not avert our eyes from. there it was again, the pain in the pit of my stomach, this dizziness, those glassy eyes.

the pain of watching something or someone burn down, burn out and knowing that there is nothing you can do to help. so I stand and stare until moments which felt like hours later, the sirens of fire trucks rang in the distance. I noticed that I had held my breath. only once the sirens got closer I exhaled with the slight relief that it might not be good but it’s never too late.

sometimes I am the building. sometimes I am the spectator and sometimes I am the siren in the distance. I smell smoke. I smell rain too.

A lot of what’s called philosophy is just (”just”) art. Cioran was right to point this out and he arguably falls into exactly such a category. Philosophy should be more explicit and demanding as to its nature and function in relation to other fields (the empirical sciences especially). For all their failings, the logical positivists and those aligned with them held the correct stance, broadly, regarding this, and so I think always have to be celebrated for that. It’s a movement about which, when I come to evaluate it, I seem to always arrive at conclusions along the lines of “it’s heart was in the right place, it was a good and worthy attempt, and we should try something like it again,” and, historically speaking, there’s not really much more you can ask for than that. And this is not even to necessarily dismiss those things which would be ejected from philosophy-proper under such a conception, indeed I think they would find renewed purpose and vigour for it. The arts are a wonderful form of expression and many ideas that have spent centuries lingering around as some obscure idea in continental philosophy or whatever could find much more utilitarian existences when set free from that. Nietzsche and the pessimists are a prime example, and I say that as a pessimist, so I’d be losing quite a bit as a philosophical pessimist in abandoning my attempts to systematise them (which by this point I already have). The point being: just because something is called, or commonly understood as, philosophy, does not mean it is, or that it is helpful to think of it as such.
