Philosophy 2.


                         “Philosophy is personally individual. The awareness

               of another’s philosophy should only permit you to expand and
               individualise your own personal philosophy.”

                         We can study philosophy and see how  the ancients
               saw life. We can see that at a certain time it was acceptable to
               live to certain principles. How appropriate is it to still live by

               these principles in this age we now exist in? How appropriate is
               it for you to apply another’s outdated philosophy to your life?
               How  appropriate  is  it  for  you  to  assume  the  philosophy  of

               another  culture  applying  it  over  your  own  more  relevant
               culture? Many of these philosophies we revere are now only
               part of history and useful only for intellectual battles providing

               no basis for our spiritual evolvement.
                         Those  who  are  interested  in  philosophy  might  be

               horrified  that  I  should  dismiss  their  favourite  subject  so
               callously. I apologise if it is felt I insult their intelligence. I do
               not  wish  to  do  that.  I  also  do  not  wish  that  the  spiritual

               evolvement of the spirit of humankind should be in any way
               curtailed by discussions on what is no longer applicable. Yes

               explore  what  our  ancestors  have  left  for  us.  Yes,  apply  and
               assimilate what is there for us to know. Shed what is irrelevant
