The Apology Is Still One of My Favorite Philosophical Works. “Now the time has come for us to go our separate ways I do die and you to live, which is better only God knows”
There is so much to learn but all comes back to being surrounded by a loving environment and great health...these videos of intelligent questions help me understand a flow chart more...
I literally love every single philosopher and relate on so many levels to all of them.Some I resonate more with, but I can live out all of their truths to the fullest. It's like trying on everyone's lenses, seing their truths, and knowing that none of them really see, just like you. It provides much more entertainment and relieves from the burden of hope/despair/nothingness of looking for answers, everything really. I can live a truth to the fullest and the next day completely live the opposite and see sense and insanity in both. That's why I enjoy philosophy so much. Part of the reason at least.
This video is about Socrates and his life...and yet, his life was not covered so well as I would have hoped. No mention of his barefootedness. Aeschylus mocked Socrates as "Sparta-mad". There are copious references to Sparta throughout the Platonic texts and yet there is no mention of this influence on Socrates. Navia in his book misses this. Why was Socrates favorite form of government Crete and Sparta? And if one knows of the Socrates Barefootedness, that answer would be reliably evident. In Socrates life, he was imitating the Spartans. Socrates was a practitioner of Doric philosophy. People are misconstruing Socrates because no one connects Socrates to Sparta. How can one understand Socrates without that connection?

We hate when someone points out what we dont understand. Everyone seems to have an opinion on the economy. When asked what knowledge someone bases those opinions on, they realize that they are just parroting something that they heard.
His life has such a resemblance to the life of Jesus that I'm starting to think that the story of Jesus was at least a tad bit inspired by Socrates. Although the twist of Judas was a nice touch.
Martin Acoustics12 Could it be possible that all people with the similar wisdom share some similar commonalities? It sure seems that both Jesus and Socrates were anti-establishment; laying puffed up principles and people low; by enlightening others to the fact that they are being manipulated? The ones in power do not wish to have it taken away; and they built this power in illusion. Anyone seen bringing this to light were condemned to death, all throughout history. I believe in Jesus via his principles and wisdom; not "of". I think most people calling themselves Christian haven't a clue as to what that means and why they err. Jesus would not have people to worship him, nor to condemn others who thought differently; only that they think for themselves with a temperance of humility.
+Martin Acoustics12 I beg to disagree. No other mortal being on earth can ever be compared to Jesus. Jesus is a Holy man son of God who has never sinned against his Father while Socrates is the opposite who sinned and haven't risen from the dead.
You are correct about Jesus deserving our worship and praise. I realize how what I wrote came across as, I was more making the point that God the Father gave the edification to Jesus. We are not to lift ourselves or others on a pedestal. The only one true Son and Word of God, Jesus Christ is to be.
Socrates will always be an idol of mine because he recognized that god presented him with an opportunity to face his own demise with honor and dignity. His unwillingness to cower in the face of those who deny the truth is something that is truly admirable.
I remember a quote that socrates wife told him "you are condemn to death by the Athens" Socrates replies " They are condemn to death as well by nature"
NOTES - SOCRATES: THE MAN AND HIS LIFE Created by Ismael Marksteiner Excerpted from the TH-cam Channel "Academy of Ideas" Link: th-cam.com/video/b2wM4pApOtM/w-d-xo.html DESCRIPTION In this lecture, we investigate the life of Socrates. In particular, we look at two monumental events in his life: 1. His encounter with the oracle at Delphi which pronounced him to be the wisest of all men 2. His trial and subsequent execution DISCLAIMER, THE SOCRATIC PROBLEM: Little is known for certain about Socrates' life. Therefore, in order to obtain knowledge about it, we must rely on other sources (Aristophanes, Xenophon, Plato, Aristotle). Yet the sources we have, offer differing and sometimes contradictory depictions of Socrates and hence there is confusion regarding what is fiction and what is fact. SOCRATES, (469-399) BCE Executed by the Athenian State, on the charges of religious impiety and corruption of the youth THE ORACLE AT DELPHI Oracle (Religious shrine and sanctuary) Delphi (Ancient Greek settlement. Thought of as the center of the world by the ancient greeks) According to Myth: Zeus send out two eagles from the ends of the universe to find the navel of the world, and in Delphi is where they met The Oracle at Delphi is devoted to the God Apollo Inscribed on the outside of the temple: "Know Thyself" (Often misattributed to Socrates) HIS REACTION TO THE ORACLE PRONOUNCING HIM TO BE THE WISEST OF ALL MEN: "When I heard about the oracle's answer, I said to myself, what does the god mean?... I am only too conscious that I have no claim to wisdom, great or small. So what could he mean by asserting that I am the wisest man in the world?" -Socrates SOCRATES ENGAGED IN CONVERSATIONS WITH POLITICIANS, POETS, AND CRAFTSMEN: "...when I conversed with him, I thought this man seemed to be wise both to many others and especially to himself, but that he was not, and then I tried to show him that he thought he was wise, but was not. Because of that, he disliked me…but I went away thinking to myself that I was wiser than this man; the fact is that neither of us knows anything beautiful and good, but he thinks he does know when he doesn't, and I don't know and don't think I do: So I am wiser than he is by only this trifle, that what I do not know I don't think so." -Socrates THE MEANING OF THE ORACLE: Mankind is ignorant of how to conduct their lives virtuously so as to attain happiness He himself was no exception ("…neither of us knows anything beautiful and good[…]") The wisest man, because he alone was aware of his ignorance SOCRATES' MISSION: To make others aware of their ignorance (their own "Cave of Ignorance") Goal: Get others to join him in his quest for wisdom, knowledge of how to live the good life Most Athenians responded to Socrates with anger (often suggested to be one of the factors that resulted in charges being laid against him in 399 BC) OFFICIAL INDICTMENT: "Socrates is guilty of refusing to recognize the gods recognized by the state and introducing other, new divinities. He is also guilty of corrupting the youth. The penalty demanded his death." THE TURN OF THE 4TH CENTURY BCE: Athens was in a fragile state Athens had recently been defeated by Sparta in the Peloponnesian War (431-404) BCE Citizens longed for a scapegoat on whom they could blame all their troubles HE TOLD THE JUDGES: "...you can easily kill me, then you can go on sleeping for the rest of your lives." -Socrates THE VERDICT: Guilty He could've proposed an alternate penalty Instead, he stayed true to his message SOCRATES' WARNING TO THE CITIZENS OF ATHENS: "I wish to prophesy to you who have sentenced me to death… I prophesy to you that after my death the punishment will soon descend upon you, a punishment far more severe than that which you have inflicted on me. You will have caused my death, hoping in vain to escape from my critical questioning." HIS LAST WORDS: "Crito, we owe a rooster to Asclepios; pay it without fail." - Paying tribute to the god of healing - He thought: To be alive in some sense truly was a sickness, and while we can make strides to make ourselves healthy, it is only in death, that we're truly cured CREDIT TO: Academy of Ideas academyofideas.com/ Link: th-cam.com/channels/iRiQGCHGjDLT9FQXFW0I3A.html
Socrates was probably the first whistle blower.but thanks to Athenian democracy that they heard his voice.Today we all need to again review sane quest of Socrates,especially when we are trapped in rate race and not knowing whats the purpose of LIFE. Why do we live?Or we live only because we don't die ? Do we live in peace,morning,happiness? Socrates was a Prophet,a messenger of God.Those who punished him were of similar attitude those who punished Jesus. No one remembers the killers but Socrates remained IMMORTAL.
I’m here because I seriously think I might his living reincarnation , he spoke wisely and had a sense of humor which he ended also mentioning he had a way younger wife , he even looked like him with out the long beard !!! 🤯
Sad to think that after all this time nothing has changed, people still persecute those concerned with understanding the bigger picture and for asking the uncomfortable questions
So Socrates wasn't wiser than the man, after all, because he ended up thinking he is wiser than the man, it makes him less wise than thinking he might knows less than him... Or maybe i don't know what i'm talking about either.
When he mentions the rooster is he referring to life being an illness, or was a reference to how by sentencing him to death, Athens, in their own arrogance and ignorance mentioned before, was believed to be cured of the illness of Socrates himself, and what is now philosophy as a whole.
I took at as the fact that he knows that once he dies, people will have to continue facing their own weaknesses whether they like it or not, and him dying doesn't change that. He's suggesting that when people do, they pay tribute to this god, because in facing their own weaknesses, they will find healing. I could be wrong but that's what I initially thought.
im i the only one seing a pattern here. we humane only aprecieate things after there gone. we dont know what we have until we have lost it. life is greate pople enjoy it while you can
@@kierenmoore3236 nah. We (meaning humans) have something written by his student Plato. Called Timaeus. Which quotes socrates explaining how the Egyptians looked upon the Greeks as children. And taught then their knowledge. Socrates, Plato and Aristotle studied in egypt to know what they came to know.
Socrates was wise to know he was ignorant. More specifically Socrates knew he was much less ignorant than most in philosophy & especially much less foolish than anyone who thought they knew it all.
This series is more of a Biography of Socrates and has little about his teachings. Skip the first two clips if you are looking for any analysis on his philosophy. The first two in this series are mostly long winded historical background of petty humans behavior and authorship. Not consistent with the Jung and Nietzsche series which had way more red meat
+Mark Alan more like, the wise have fallen to the persecution of the ignorant, looking to blame their circumstances on others rather than themselves. Socrates pissed off a lot of folk because he questioned their beliefs, which were no doubt tied to their ego as they were deeply held and unquestioned.
My small understanding of life and works of Socrates, particularly through Plato, leads me to believe that he was probably such a PIA to Athenian society that they were just desperate to get rid of him. Nowadays I think he'd be regarded as a bully with his circumlocution, practiced loquaciousness bordering on logorrhea. In Meno, Plato's character, trying to nail Socrates down, is bombarded with more periphrasis. It must be infuriating! They mention virtue, their topic of conversation, and seem unable to define it. A definition would have been a great place from where to start. Maybe if they had defined it, then they would have seen the absurdity and double standards of calling in a *slave*! to conduct an experiment about doubling squares. Clearly not a mathematician, Socrates uses a special case (his doubling method does not work for rectangles) to propose a bizarre concept that 'the knowledge is already inside' and by corollary that by listening to him, this inner knowledge (which all comes from future souls in the underworld) will be released to the common man. There are proponents of this absurdity even now (future souls notwithstanding). The call it formative causation.
🌹 Before Christ and Mohammed, There Was Socrates 🌿 We are each very equal gods. We should love and respect ourselves with all of our heart, might, mind, and soul. And because all others are equal gods with us, we must love and respect all others like we do ourselves. There is no other doctrine or idea upon which any human should operate their conscious existence. 🌿 It is upon this alternative attitude that all laws that govern humans should be established in order to save humanity. Once we respect all others as we do ourselves, we will not allow any of us to live in poverty and inequality. 🌿 This is what Socrates knew. It was one of his main teachings by which he was accused of corrupting the youth. Socrates taught that there is no other person, nor any other life form, as important as each human person. 🌿 We refer to each person as an eternal advanced human that can not be destroyed. Each person can refer to their higherself, to the part of them that makes them human and different from all other life forms, as one's "True Self." Our True Selves (our true natures) exist in a dimension of time and space that has no beginning and no end. We exist with other human beings of the same eternal nature and standing. 🌿 When we die, or once we experience a mortal death, we will immediately be aware that the same type of social interactions we enjoy here on Earth, exist there, only they will be coupled with an eternal glory. An "eternal glory" is the "glory of any god, which is intelligence, or in other words, light and truth"-ie., the Real Truth™ that all gods know. 🌿 Each human being, each one of you, is as intelligent as any other human being. You are gods, each and every one of you, equally and separately. There is no god above or below any of you. Each of you made a choice about belonging to a GROUP of humans in which you could have new experiences and through which you could seek joy. 🌿 Youth, this world, which includes your family and friends, has been deceived and is being controlled by powers that do not know what they are doing. Some of these powers have set themselves up and convinced your family and friends that God speaks to them. 🌿 So, if you embrace this new attitude and see yourself as an individual person equal with God, but your family and friends do not, you will be mocked, scourged, cast out, and disowned by them. Your belief that you are a god will threaten their belief that you are not, and that they are not. How can they accept this? If they do, then their religious leaders are ordinary, just like them. If their religious leaders are just like them, then God can just as easily speak to them as God does to their leaders. 🌿 Their pride will not allow them to accept that they have been deceived. Everything that they "know" gives them value and places them above others. They cannot see that everything they have been taught about God is false and, even worse, that these things are actually a "great abomination and wickedness." 🌿 Recognizing that you are an equal god with everyone else, you will begin to see the power that you have to act and be acted upon. But they, believing that someone else has power over them, will not act or allow themselves to be acted upon, except when they are commanded by someone else. 🌿 The essence of your True God, your true power, comes from your ability to do what you feel is best for you--what makes you happy. There is no other way that a person's brain can properly function towards the end for which the brain exists--to serve the needs of the individual by providing joy. If your brain is being influenced or powered by an outside source, you will never reach your potential and personal power over your own life. Your brain must be dependent upon and receive power from itself (from one's "True God") in order for you to reach and maintain the energy level of equilibrium that creates a physical feeling a mortal recognizes as joy. (One day we know that science will also be able to explain this.) 🌿 When a person acts according to the power of the person's own brain, peace is felt. And when the person uses their brain to "walk peaceably with the children of men," it means that what the one is doing creates peace for the person themselves, and for the ones with whom the person desires to "walk." 🌿 There is no true joy when one tells another what to do, especially when one forces another to do something (to act or be acted upon) that one does not want to do. 🌿 It is this joythat all humans search for, in what they do, in how they act, and in how they allow themselves to be acted upon. In order to have a "peaceable walk" with others, one must be doing what one wants, and one must allow others to do what they want. This is good. But when a person forces another to act, this force takes away another's peace and is not good. 🌿 To understand the way to "peace and salvation," one need only to observe a little child. A little child is at peace when the child does what the child wants, being the child's own god. If allowed to be a little child, the flesh obeys the will of the spirit in all things. The little child knows no other god, no other power, than their own. 🌿 Human beings should be like little children-always. The difference between the state of peace in which a little child exists and the state in which mortals currently live upon Earth is in the inability of the person to exercise unconditional free will-the inability of the flesh to do the will of the brain. This creates a state of a "hell which hath no end." 🌿
I love SOCRATES! Are there any TRUE thinkers here? It is IMPOSSIBLE for water to curve. Water ALWAYS seeks its level. Being a critical thinker means asking questions and what they have taught us are LIES. We've been deceived on MANY, MANY levels because no one thinks for themselves anymore. The previous thought mentioned is only the beginning of the deceptions. " ...I can only make them think." Socrates
Greece had just lost a war and this man was against Democracy...for very good reasons...and since he was popular he was of course a threat... He seemed to have a good sense of humor
Even though there's indications that socrates was a little arrogant and cheeky in the end, I admire his courage and can see how he was unfairly put to death. People, especially certain personality types, don't like being questioned or having their weaknesses pointed out to them, and what's sad is that it seems he actually had good intent in doing it, kind of like a parent-type that just wants you to do better, at least as far as I can tell :) he was even humble enough to admit he didn't know everything himself. I'm curious as to how he questioned the gods? I might have to do a bit more research.
Socrates was a poor Athenian who had epileptic visions, called the "holy disease" back then. He went around bothering locals with his great insights and Plato used many of them to start his own philosophy. The dialogues were written probably to be performed at the regular Athenian performances. Socrates was sort of a proto or a "prephilosopher.'
Indictment of false advertising fail, lucid to all treatment; the question that remains is how uniform society can break from its own ways . . . this, in question was more of how animals fail and not of a man! They tried to kill the soul, and ended up just killing Socrates! With regard to reasoning being a failure the court has given all the power to the gods!
"It is only in death that we are truly cured of the sickness of life." - The First Edgelord
LMFAO
The Apology Is Still One of My Favorite Philosophical Works. “Now the time has come for us to go our separate ways I do die and you to live, which is better only God knows”

There is so much to learn but all comes back to being surrounded by a loving environment and great health...these videos of intelligent questions help me understand a flow chart more...
I literally love every single philosopher and relate on so many levels to all of them.Some I resonate more with, but I can live out all of their truths to the fullest. It's like trying on everyone's lenses, seing their truths, and knowing that none of them really see, just like you. It provides much more entertainment and relieves from the burden of hope/despair/nothingness of looking for answers, everything really.

I’d argue we hate what we do understand
The depictions that were represented by Socrates are intriguing. However, the main points seem to be relative to Christian theology. Fascinating.
My Boi Socrates!!!! Rip you brilliant man
Socrates literally made me do a major in philosophy lol
Did you found work ? 😂
Thank you for not saying that Socrates said "Know thyself." He really just interpreted it.
His life has such a resemblance to the life of Jesus that I'm starting to think that the story of Jesus was at least a tad bit inspired by Socrates. Although the twist of Judas was a nice touch.

NOTES - SOCRATES: THE MAN AND HIS LIFE
Created by Ismael Marksteiner
Excerpted from the TH-cam Channel "Academy of Ideas"

DESCRIPTION
In this lecture, we investigate the life of Socrates.
In particular, we look at two monumental events in his life:
1. His encounter with the oracle at Delphi which pronounced him to be the
wisest of all men
2. His trial and subsequent execution
DISCLAIMER, THE SOCRATIC PROBLEM:
Little is known for certain about Socrates' life. Therefore, in order to obtain knowledge
about it, we must rely on other sources (Aristophanes, Xenophon, Plato, Aristotle).
Yet the sources we have, offer differing and sometimes contradictory depictions of
Socrates and hence there is confusion regarding what is fiction and what is
fact.
SOCRATES, (469-399) BCE
Executed by the Athenian
State, on the charges of religious impiety and corruption of the youth
THE ORACLE AT DELPHI
Oracle (Religious shrine and
sanctuary)
Delphi (Ancient Greek settlement. Thought of as the center of the world by the ancient greeks)
According to Myth: Zeus send out two eagles from the ends of the universe to find the navel of the world, and in Delphi is where they met
The Oracle at Delphi is devoted to the God Apollo
Inscribed on the outside of the temple: "Know Thyself" (Often misattributed to Socrates)
HIS REACTION TO THE ORACLE PRONOUNCING HIM TO BE THE WISEST OF ALL MEN:
"When I heard about the oracle's answer, I said to myself, what does the
god mean?... I am only too conscious that I have no claim to wisdom, great or
small. So what could he mean by asserting that I am the wisest man in the
world?" -Socrates
SOCRATES ENGAGED IN CONVERSATIONS WITH POLITICIANS, POETS, AND CRAFTSMEN:
"...when I conversed with him, I thought this man seemed to be wise both to many others
and especially to himself, but that he was not, and then I tried to show him
that he thought he was wise, but was not. Because of that, he disliked me…but I
went away thinking to myself that I was wiser than this man; the fact is that
neither of us knows anything beautiful and good, but he thinks he does know
when he doesn't, and I don't know and don't think I do: So I am wiser than he
is by only this trifle, that what I do not know I don't think so."
-Socrates
THE MEANING OF THE ORACLE:
Mankind is ignorant of how to conduct their lives virtuously so as to attain happiness
He himself was no exception ("…neither of us knows anything beautiful and good[…]")
The wisest man, because he alone was aware of his ignorance
SOCRATES' MISSION:
To make others aware of their ignorance (their own "Cave of Ignorance")
Goal: Get others to join him in his quest for wisdom, knowledge of how to live the good life
Most Athenians responded to Socrates with anger (often suggested to be one of the factors that resulted in charges being laid against him in 399 BC)
OFFICIAL INDICTMENT:
"Socrates is guilty of refusing to recognize the gods recognized by the state and introducing other, new divinities. He is also guilty of corrupting the youth. The penalty demanded his death."
THE TURN OF THE 4TH CENTURY BCE:
Athens was in a fragile state
Athens had recently been defeated by Sparta in the Peloponnesian War (431-404) BCE
Citizens longed for a scapegoat on whom they could blame all their troubles
HE TOLD THE JUDGES:
"...you can easily kill me, then you can go on sleeping for the rest of your lives." -Socrates
THE VERDICT: Guilty
He could've proposed an alternate penalty
Instead, he stayed true to
his message
SOCRATES' WARNING TO THE CITIZENS OF ATHENS:
"I wish to prophesy to you who have sentenced me to death… I prophesy to you that after my death the punishment will soon descend upon you, a punishment far more severe than that which you have inflicted on me. You will have caused my death, hoping in vain to escape from my critical questioning."
HIS LAST WORDS:
"Crito, we owe a rooster to Asclepios; pay it without fail."
- Paying tribute to the god of healing
- He thought: To be alive in some sense truly was a sickness, and while we can make strides
to make ourselves healthy, it is only in death, that we're truly cured

Socrates was probably the first whistle blower.but thanks to Athenian democracy that they heard his voice.Today we all need to again review sane quest of Socrates,especially when we are trapped in rate race and not knowing whats the purpose of LIFE. Why do we live?Or we live only because we don't die ? Do we live in peace,morning,happiness?

No one remembers the killers but Socrates remained IMMORTAL.

Agreed, but he would probably deny it.

I am a peaceful warrior because the battles we fought are on the inside.
Big fan of your vids
I appreciate the support!
love your channel
So Socrates wasn't wiser than the man, after all, because he ended up thinking he is wiser than the man, it makes him less wise than thinking he might knows less than him... Or maybe i don't know what i'm talking about either.
great video
One thing I learnt in my history book the Socrates was born on 470 BCE.
Great VIdeo! Keep it on!
When he mentions the rooster is he referring to life being an illness, or was a reference to how by sentencing him to death, Athens, in their own arrogance and ignorance mentioned before, was believed to be cured of the illness of Socrates himself, and what is now philosophy as a whole.
I took at as the fact that he knows that once he dies, people will have to continue facing their own weaknesses whether they like it or not, and him dying doesn't change that. He's suggesting that when people do, they pay tribute to this god, because in facing their own weaknesses, they will find healing. I could be wrong but that's what I initially thought.
Who asked
im i the only one seing a pattern here. we humane only aprecieate things after there gone. we dont know what we have until we have lost it. life is greate pople enjoy it while you can
Facts about Socrates can tell a lot of information about him
Socrates - the original badass, public intellectual ... he was also supposedly quite the warrior, was he not?
How could Socrates be an original when he himself admitted his knowledge came from egypt?
@@Koyasi78 … Oh, you have something written by Socrates? Or did he tell you this personally?

My kind of man!
aboot
As history has shown us, the agnostic have fallen to religious persecution. One has to wonder, will the religious fall to the agnostic in the future.
+Mark Alan more like, the wise have fallen to the persecution of the ignorant, looking to blame their circumstances on others rather than themselves. Socrates pissed off a lot of folk because he questioned their beliefs, which were no doubt tied to their ego as they were deeply held and unquestioned.
+yourtub - True, True!
He put his whole socratussy into this
so true justin aucreman
My god what did I just read

My small understanding of life and works of Socrates, particularly through Plato, leads me to believe that he was probably such a PIA to Athenian society that they were just desperate to get rid of him. Nowadays I think he'd be regarded as a bully with his circumlocution, practiced loquaciousness bordering on logorrhea. In Meno, Plato's character, trying to nail Socrates down, is bombarded with more periphrasis. It must be infuriating! They mention virtue, their topic of conversation, and seem unable to define it. A definition would have been a great place from where to start. Maybe if they had defined it, then they would have seen the absurdity and double standards of calling in a *slave*! to conduct an experiment about doubling squares. Clearly not a mathematician, Socrates uses a special case (his doubling method does not work for rectangles) to propose a bizarre concept that 'the knowledge is already inside' and by corollary that by listening to him, this inner knowledge (which all comes from future souls in the underworld) will be released to the common man. There are proponents of this absurdity even now (future souls notwithstanding). The call it formative causation.
Aristotle defined virtues 👌🏼
🌹 Before Christ and Mohammed, There Was Socrates
🌿 We are each very equal gods. We should love and respect ourselves with all of our heart, might, mind, and soul. And because all others are equal gods with us, we must love and respect all others like we do ourselves. There is no other doctrine or idea upon which any human should operate their conscious existence.
🌿 It is upon this alternative attitude that all laws that govern humans should be established in order to save humanity. Once we respect all others as we do ourselves, we will not allow any of us to live in poverty and inequality.
🌿 This is what Socrates knew. It was one of his main teachings by which he was accused of corrupting the youth. Socrates taught that there is no other person, nor any other life form, as important as each human person.
🌿 We refer to each person as an eternal advanced human that can not be destroyed. Each person can refer to their higherself, to the part of them that makes them human and different from all other life forms, as one's "True Self." Our True Selves (our true natures) exist in a dimension of time and space that has no beginning and no end. We exist with other human beings of the same eternal nature and standing.
🌿 When we die, or once we experience a mortal death, we will immediately be aware that the same type of social interactions we enjoy here on Earth, exist there, only they will be coupled with an eternal glory. An "eternal glory" is the "glory of any god, which is intelligence, or in other words, light and truth"-ie., the Real Truth™ that all gods know.
🌿 Each human being, each one of you, is as intelligent as any other human being. You are gods, each and every one of you, equally and separately. There is no god above or below any of you. Each of you made a choice about belonging to a GROUP of humans in which you could have new experiences and through which you could seek joy.
🌿 Youth, this world, which includes your family and friends, has been deceived and is being controlled by powers that do not know what they are doing. Some of these powers have set themselves up and convinced your family and friends that God speaks to them.
🌿 So, if you embrace this new attitude and see yourself as an individual person equal with God, but your family and friends do not, you will be mocked, scourged, cast out, and disowned by them. Your belief that you are a god will threaten their belief that you are not, and that they are not. How can they accept this? If they do, then their religious leaders are ordinary, just like them. If their religious leaders are just like them, then God can just as easily speak to them as God does to their leaders.
🌿 Their pride will not allow them to accept that they have been deceived. Everything that they "know" gives them value and places them above others. They cannot see that everything they have been taught about God is false and, even worse, that these things are actually a "great abomination and wickedness."
🌿 Recognizing that you are an equal god with everyone else, you will begin to see the power that you have to act and be acted upon. But they, believing that someone else has power over them, will not act or allow themselves to be acted upon, except when they are commanded by someone else.
🌿 The essence of your True God, your true power, comes from your ability to do what you feel is best for you--what makes you happy. There is no other way that a person's brain can properly function towards the end for which the brain exists--to serve the needs of the individual by providing joy. If your brain is being influenced or powered by an outside source, you will never reach your potential and personal power over your own life. Your brain must be dependent upon and receive power from itself (from one's
"True God") in order for you to reach and maintain the energy level of equilibrium that creates a physical feeling a mortal recognizes as joy. (One day we know that science will also be able to explain this.)
🌿 When a person acts according to the power of the person's own brain, peace is felt. And when the person uses their brain to "walk peaceably with the children of men," it means that what the one is doing creates peace for the person themselves, and for the ones with whom the person desires to "walk."
🌿 There is no true joy when one tells another what to do, especially when one forces another to do something (to act or be acted upon) that one does not want to do.
🌿 It is this joythat all humans search for, in what they do, in how they act, and in how they allow themselves to be acted upon. In order to have a "peaceable walk" with others, one must be doing what one wants, and one must allow others to do what they want. This is good. But when a person forces another to act, this force takes away another's peace and is not good.
🌿 To understand the way to "peace and salvation," one need only to observe a little child. A little child is at peace when the child does what the child wants, being the child's own god. If allowed to be a little child, the flesh obeys the will of the spirit in all things. The little child knows no other god, no other power, than their own.
🌿 Human beings should be like little children-always. The difference between the state of peace in which a little child exists and the state in which mortals currently live upon Earth is in the inability of the person to exercise unconditional free will-the inability of the flesh to do the will of the brain. This creates a state of a "hell which hath no end."

I love SOCRATES!
Are there any TRUE thinkers here? It is IMPOSSIBLE for water to curve. Water ALWAYS seeks its level. Being a critical thinker means asking questions and what they have taught us are LIES. We've been deceived on MANY, MANY levels because no one thinks for themselves anymore. The previous thought mentioned is only the beginning of the deceptions. " ...I can only make them think." Socrates
you can tell he's canadian
Hahahahaha
He's Vietnamese.
socrates was metal as all fuck
Socrates is my ♮.
Socrates is my 𝄫.
He had already realized that life is suffering........
THE TRUTH IS SO BITTER, that worldly wise like DARKNESS
Too bad his grand protege Aristotle had not yet developed his breakdown of human persuasive modalities into ethos, pathos and logos!!
Greece had just lost a war and this man was against Democracy...for very good reasons...and since he was popular he was of course a threat... He seemed to have a good sense of humor
I think he had a sense of humor as well. How was he against democracy? I realise I need to do a bit of reading on him.
Socrates is my guy 😈
Just like osho ..poisoned
👍
He used his own built in common sense to think, and say great things, so did Jesus christ and none greater than he has been on the earth or wiser.
Plot twist: Socrates is SCP-049
Even though there's indications that socrates was a little arrogant and cheeky in the end, I admire his courage and can see how he was unfairly put to death. People, especially certain personality types, don't like being questioned or having their weaknesses pointed out to them, and what's sad is that it seems he actually had good intent in doing it, kind of like a parent-type that just wants you to do better, at least as far as I can tell :) he was even humble enough to admit he didn't know everything himself. I'm curious as to how he questioned the gods? I might have to do a bit more research.
ok
Socrates was a poor Athenian who had epileptic visions, called the "holy disease" back then. He went around bothering locals with his great insights and Plato used many of them to start his own philosophy. The dialogues were written probably to be performed at the regular Athenian performances. Socrates was sort of a proto or a "prephilosopher.'
Why did Plato want to make a philosophy on his ideas?
"went around bothering locals" I like this guy now
Sheeeesh
Indictment of false advertising fail, lucid to all treatment; the question that remains is how uniform society can break from its own ways . . . this, in question was more of how animals fail and not of a man! They tried to kill the soul, and ended up just killing Socrates! With regard to reasoning being a failure the court has given all the power to the gods!
I don't know
j
This guy 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I dont understand Socratic irony....
Wisdom is derived from reason, not mysticism bullshit.
so crates
Around what age was Socrates when he was pronounced the wisest in the world?
23
@Richard Collier haha! 5 years ago. So early on in my philosophical studies. Boy, am i glad i stuck with it!
