“How can a man find a sensible way to live? One way and one only- Philosophy. And my philosophy means keeping that vital spark within you free from damage and degradation, using it to transcend pain and pleasure, doing everything with a purpose, avoiding lies and hypocrisy, not relying on another person's actions or failings. To accept everything that comes, and everything that is given, as coming from that same spiritual source.” MenWayMeanPersonsPhilosophyActionPainSpiritualLyingPurposeGivenPleasureAcceptingFailingSourceOne WayDamageHypocrisySparksSensibleWithin YouAvoidingDegradationWay To LivePain And Pleasure Author:Marcus Aurelius

A way to think of this in a philosophic sense is to look between the two great extremes: the idealist philosophy that says mind and consciousness is the only thing and that matter is simply an illusion, or a Maya, the product of mind; and the other extreme, a strict materialist determinism, which says that mind and consciousness is a secondary phenomenon of the collision of matter.” ThinkingWayMindLooksTwoMatterPhilosophyRealityConsciousnessProductsIllusionExtremesObjectivesOne WayPhenomenonStrictIdealistDeterminismCollisionPhilosophicObjective Reality Author:Edgar Mitchell
