I am here for the E/c2

No, sorry, philosophy doesn't work that way. Unless your planning to have some sort of argument where the conclusion follows from the premises and the premises are shown to be true, then you aren't doing philosophy.

So, unless you're busy and can't go into full detail, I'll assume you have nothing and simply want to assert your viewpoint and call it "philosophy" to give it the illusion of legitimacy.

With the OP, I get the impression, quantity of words = credibility

I am on a cruise ship, minutes are precious here... As far as the interpretation of philosophy...

If you've made the kind of cash you assert, minutes aren't precious.

I'm betting on; delusions of grandeur.

I sit here in St Thomas at a Barefoot Buddah restaurant where the Internet is much better. Slow typing with my Ipad though, wish I would have brought my laptop. Ships internet is expensive and slow. I made much money on ticker symbol HCLP. I am currently out of the markets as I fear we are on a bubble.

Buy low and sell high.

Two stocks on my watch list.... EXXI and TXMD

 

[rockytopva]

If a stock has light (faith, hope, passion)

Then it also has the energy to move forward and appreciate in value. Stocks are not worth the going price but are priced in with what the investors think they are worth. So a good investor asks himself what a stock will be worth 5 years from now.

I must also insert here that when the z (abs zero, loss of momentum) d (darkness, fear, despair) hit the markets one can loose an entire portfolio in hours.

This seems to be more of a blog than a discussion xD

Wait and see...

Plato's doctrine of the divided line...

You are looking at a computer monitor... But do you know the true form? Do you understand how that the bytes make there way from the computer processor, to the video card, and then how they light each individual pixel on the screen? As you learn more about it then you progress from images to knowledge.

Spiritual E/c2... Energy (Motivation, Warmth, Love) / c2 (Faith, Hope, Charity, Joy)

There is much life that can flow out of spiritual light including healing and prosperity. Which is the hopes of my web site at https://www.youtube.com/user/rockytopva... To build spiritual life inside of the heart of the fellow human being. As the browser watches these videos they build faith... Bringing folks closer to the true form of what religion is suppose to be... Faith and life!

Still waiting for that argument.

"False pride or vanity is a very negative quality that gets people in a great
deal of trouble." - Zig Ziglar

"Competing with others, we loose our way. One who parades his success
will not endure. In the Tao these things are called 'unwanted food and
extraneous growths,' which are loathed of all things." -Lao-Tzu

"How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! For thou
hast said, I will ascend into heaven. I will exalt my throne." - Isaiah 14

"And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light." - II Cor 11:14

There is yet another light brought down from Lucifer and his fallen angels. These angels know the value of light and attempt to use its power. Unfortunately this light is in the form of arrogance whose results are never good. Having the wrong form of energy the ends are always cold.

Ego unfortunately is something that God also has got to deal with in the Christian church'

"His tail drew the third part of the heavens." - Rev 12:4 Corinthians

It is my estimation that, as three is the number of harmony, that there existed three groups of angels...

1. Archangel Gabriel - Over Strong Angels
2. Archangel Michael - Over Wise Angels
3. Archangel Lucifer - Over Worshiping Angels

I believe that the creation of this universe some 15 billion years ago was in response to Lucifer's rebellion. They have been away from the true light and energy so long that they have forgotten there former state. These angels long to inhabit the human body to experience things long forgotten.

The rebellion of Lucifer...

Um, is this thread in the wrong spot? You aren't doing philosophy. At all.

"Philosophy is a longing after the heavenly wisdom." - Plutarch

The heavenly things are what I am dealing with.

"Philosophy is a longing after the heavenly wisdom." - Plutarch

The heavenly things are what I am dealing with.

Philosophy is the study that, through the use of logic, reason, and observation, tries to explore, discover, and explain the truths of reality.

Arguing about the proper definition of philosophy is philosophy in and of itself.

I reject Plutarch's definition; philosophy requires no longing in it. Though many philosophers are definitely driven and are longing for truth, the process of doing philosophy requires no such longing. People use logic, reason, and observation to discover truth all of the time, not only during times of deep explorations into the natures of reality or the depths of the abyss.

I also reject the use of the term "heavenly". I don't believe there's a heaven or anything metaphysical because no one has demonstrated that there is such. I long after wisdom and truth. There is nothing heavenly about truth or wisdom; they simply are information about reality. The only way I would use "heavenly" is to mean "highest" (and I'd honestly just use "highest" to avoid confusion), and you clearly aren't using that in this context.

Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. - 1 Corinthians 2:13

The Holy Spirit of god compares spiritual things with spiritual.
