Can be summarized in one phrase:
"I want to make a difference in YOU"
Albert Einstein says:
Reality is merely an illusion,
All thou a very persistent one.
Everything is the way it is because...
we've all agreed that's the way it is.
Each for himself creates the world
in which he dwells.
If the true and ultimate reality
is unknowable, all reality is unknowable;
what we take for reality
is merely phenomenon,
and what we take for knowledge
is merely illusion.
Plato states:
The general terms of our language
are not “names” of the physical objects
that we can see.
They are actually names of things
that we cannot see,
things that we can only grasp
...with the mind.
When the prisoners are released,
they can turn their heads
and see the real objects.
Then they realize their error.
Turning our heads and seeing…
the causes of the shadows?
We can come to grasp..
the Forms with our minds.
Plato’s aim in the Republic
is to describe what is necessary
for us to achieve this
reflective understanding.
But even without it..
it remains true that our…
very ability to think and
to speak depends on the Forms.
Meaning by “naming” the Forms
that the objects we perceive
to participate in.
The prisoners may learn
what a book is by their experience
with shadows of books.
But they would be mistaken
if they thought that the word “book”
refers to something that a
none of them has ever seen.
Welcome to the Truth of YOU!
