Philosophy for the New Age: For School Leavers

By David Rigozzi

One way to bring in the New Age is through idealisms, another, common sense. Philosophy has it's own jargon and may seem staunch or hard to follow maybe even over-complicated, but to describe the full meaning of the message must be this way. It is thought inspiring, please read slowly, and think. Warning-it is beyond ordinary. I would suggest reading three pages a day.

Anyway, see what you think, what you will think about the variety of topics covered here. Some of it may need to be read slowly to understand the full meaning of what is written. Personally, I have had troubles with nervous breakdowns, and have been admitted to Rehabilitations Hospitals for this. At school, a machine, only developing a keen wit later in life.

I have a history of scant employment, mainly work that I enjoy, there is nothing wrong with this. I have had time to write fourteen books, this book has taken twenty five years to write.

This book is especially good for after school learning -'something to think about' to keep the brain working, and also for students of Philosophy at University. It presents a way of looking at the future, guidance in a sensible way.

Introduction

The first half of this book is basically for younger readers, the second half for more mature seekers of wisdom, along with the essay on 'Desire'. This book is well within your scope of understanding and is therefor useful. The 'Twelve Essays' are very challenging, even intellectually demanding. 

The idea of philosophy is not to take it so seriously as to put you out of train with the rest of society. Philosophy inspires good ideas to mind, God and predestination, however, greaten the chance of it happening as written, especially if the writer claims to be inspired*.

Keep in mind that these writings, like the Bible, are written as advice, not as RULES. Jesus was extremely sensible. As 1 John says, 'test the Spirits'(4:1) and 'this is how we recognize the spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood'(4:1-6). And as Jesus said -find the narrow door and enter by it' (Luke 13: 24) and 'The master will say I know you not whence you are,  depart from me, all you workers of iniquity' (Luke 13: 27) 

*Biblical writers claim they were inspired to the extent of writing what God told them to write - you will know if this happens to you.

The Guides

This information section provides a written document of concepts for daily living. From overpopulation to sleep, the concepts are laid down in a form that is easy to read, i.e. with different instructions on what can be called a 'Guide'.

Through the years of hard work at school mathematics, it became apparent to me that mathematical graphs can be drawn differently, like the positive and negative number directions of these maths graphs, but with opposing concepts to make for stimulating thought.

The Guides try to encompass every idea of the topic, as reflected in opposing directions on the drawings. (it's fun).

First - A bit of Deep Philosophy - An Essay on 'Desire'

'The Rapport' - 'being before the other' - is the main thing to be examined. Basically, within a cycle of desire and satisfying this desire, that is, in joining encounters between people, we move from 'looking' to 'look-looking'. This 'look-looking' is the transcendence of self to sensing another with insight, i.e. seeing with logic, shared seeing. From then on, simple encounters may also bring this insight with any persons meeting together. With this, we can see the synonym of the simple person who is in between two mirrors facing each other. Through the many reflections, seeing one's self may be tainted with someone else coming into view. Thus the will to be with others comes through this communion. We look, and we eventually fulfil our desire through some sort of sharing. 

After more active interactions, holding our mind together may be an act of desperation, eg, sex. Some use His divine presence, others may use 'I think therefore 'I am', or other pragmatisms, but whoever stays on that roller-coaster until its end will experience the knowledge of good and evil, depending upon your actions. This may become an activity which overcomes all other life-forces the care of one's self and one's being.

In the understanding between more than two persons, we experience as a ‘we’ or 'us’ situation. The ‘we’ situation is understood to be a psychological experience where each knows the other and, although in conflict, joins the others experience.

In the 'us' situation, although taken for granted, the 'us' subject is an idea of people together, each respecting God, mainly concerned with the other's experience, mainly understood as being looked at from the outside.

Where the 'face to face', 'being before the other', the 'we', the 'us' or the 'roller coaster' end, there come events which cause a REACTION. Whether of not this is performed in the reason of human goodness is not always clear, but the human will often geared towards goodness, especially in heterosexual acts. Sex these days is often the final act that spontaneously affects others-apart from the other nine Commandments.

It would appear that in older (Biblical) times maybe sex was not always the final or important act, i.e. murder, blasphemy, idols, stealing etc. that is, sins that were prominent. Of course Christians respect marriage.
