Yes, philosophical, but we have been stagnant for so long, and the information provided by history keeps pointing in the direction of a missing component.. the Greeks called it nous (mind, reason, understanding) and recognized it as another element, and Plato was a follower.
The platonics used a symbol to represent the elements, including the fifth… (not the Bruce Willis movie) spirit. This symbol was the pentagram, yes… THAT pentagram, and was representative of the mathematical perfection in nature, and therefore in the All, God, Allah, etc. each being a regional/societal/cultural view of the same All. The pentagram was able to be an indicator of a cult following (non-pantheistic of the time was heresy) and allow worship of the All in nature, music, astronomy, mathematics, geometry, alchemy, etc. which were 'devinely inspired'.
The Socratic method was developed by Socrates, and Plato made it popular, as he wrote about it after Socrates suicide/execution.
The Socratic method allows us to transmit complex concepts and ideas by asking questions of others and allowing their own consciousness/subconciousness to bring them to the conclusion for themselves, which is organic in nature and will cause a cascading effect on the additional information discussed.
Circular route, I know, but I wanted to make these comments for a bit, and have seen blind viciousness towards a symbol (like the swastika) which have been changed to mean something that is evil…
Read: why would a political party co-opt a symbol to tarnish its meaning?
Catholic Church (of the day, but suspect), connected to the RothCHUDDs, connected to Nazi, connected to control, connected to ignorance of masses, connected to disconnection of our spiritual association with the All.
Keep the masses in the dark, keep them ignorant, keep them disconnected and feuding… tribalism, languages, wars, sports, division. Coupled with spiritual/metaphysical attacks utilizing technologies over the years (radionics, light therapy, magnetic therapy, energy work, homeopathy, chiropractic, mental developement) and thought conformation in schooling, work, discordant social situations, etc., and add the icing on the cake: Stress.
Biological component to keeping the masses in control; fear, stress, emotional baggage, concern of death (not Rebirth), and emotional programming. Manipulated by NLP (neurolinguistic programming), color frequency, light flashing/strobing, chemicals in water/food, the list goes on and on.. now the crux. The hypothalamus.
Our hypothalamus is the part of our brain which interprets external emotional stimuli, and then adjusts our internal autonomic processes to reflect/respond to that… why our blood pressure, heart rate, sweating, etc. happens when we watch a scary movie.
Now, continue along Hansle and Grettle, what happens when we are over stimulated with these inputs.? System weakens. Your immune system goes, you are more succeptable to infection, you have trouble focusing, and you can even have systems begin to shut down on you. This is Biology, actually it is BASIC biology, and is currently thought in our colleges which are failing the students (I am currently taking classes and struggling conforming to their method of learning, don't get me started on Group Work…..) and causing this group think to continue.
Now think of movies, tv, media, music, "art", and nature.
Art like abrahmovitchksi is horrifying and disgusting, but since it has the freedom of expression, it can be titled as 'art' and be acceptable in the public eye, however those who are not 'in the know' are subconsciously affected by that suggestive art… in her case, domination of innocents. What about a song you can't just get out of your head because the riff is so catchy?
What about a tv series you can't wait to see the next episode of?
Is this biologically triggered addiction?
Is this a means of control?
What is a dopeamine feedback loop?
What is big pharma?
Everything is connected.
