In part two of our “Brief Exploits in Epistemology,” we continue our discussion about the search for knowledge. The origins of Western thought and knowledge are based on Greek philosophy with an emphasis on Aristotle, as well as Plato and Socrates.

We discuss the origins of metaphysics which began with Aristotle. We focus on his life and influence throughout the world. We briefly discuss Rene Descartes and how his viewpoints and findings shifted knowledge and led to rational empiricism.

To briefly outline Metaphysics, this branch of philosophy deals with the most general and abstract questions such as:

•                 those pertaining to the nature of existence

•                 the categories of space and time

•                 the existence of God

•                 the immortality of the human soul seeks to provide a comprehensive account of the world that is proof against the uncertainties of experience.

We also discuss the nature of consciousness and how this affects memory, the way we perceive knowledge, and where it comes from.

For without consciousness so too goes sentience. It is consciousness which animates the human form and all living beings on the planet.

But what do we actually know what consciousness is? Where does consciousness come from? How do we even define this ineffable yet ever-present aspect pervading all of Earth-bound existence? Does consciousness exist outside of the body or is it just a biological impulse?

 

We talk about the many reasons knowledge gets buried, hidden, altered, and misunderstood. We discuss how political, religious, economic, and societal reasons these groups adhere to a mainline agenda. all of these organizations have a vested interest in hoarding knowledge and refusing to disseminate certain information that could help humanity and our understanding of our place in the Cosmos.

The more of us who awaken will bring the future of abundance, justice, peace, and liberty to come into being.  The awakened ones will find each other on our path to freedom from tyranny and the opening of our minds, hearts, and These rumblings in our world are signs they are happening. The paths to freedom are only road-blocked within our hearts and minds. We hope this episode is interesting and helps you understand a little bit more about how we come to know things. In choosing of unconditional love, we have the ability to change ourselves and the world around us. Keep seeking the truth that shall one day set us all free.
