Hello, I would like to share with you some of my philosophy that I have written recently. I've been working on a book and this is an article that I think I will place in there. Please let me know what you think.

Something we see and something we do are two completely different things. We may see something that we like and want to know more about this certain something. In our minds we seem to be obsessed about this something so we devote our lives to the study of this something. However, after years and years of vigorous study trying to understand our obsession or in some cases it may be your “major of study”, we still honestly know absolutely nothing about it. We can read a word and know the meaning of it, we can see a picture and see the meaning of it, but we do not understand what it actually is unless we have truly done and experienced it.

We may see horrific pictures of war and see the agonizing pain on the loved ones of a lost soul. We may witness the total mental breakdown of an individual and try to help them and think we understand what they are going through. There is not a single person on this planet here, now, or ever that will truly ever understand what someone is going through. We are alone to our own thoughts and each of our minds is truly unique. The thought process of any one individual is near impossible to mimic exactly.

This does not mean we cannot have a general understanding of any given event. Through study we can gain a great general understanding of an event or individual, we will still never truly understand anything. Once we truly understand that we do not understand, we will have a better understanding of everything imaginable. When we achieve this we will better be able to infiltrate the mind of a given individual and gain insight into what they are feeling or what they are doing. By knowing that we do not know we can attempt to free our minds of our individual unique thought process.

Our minds can be compared to DNA; every single one is unique in its own way. We all will have at least one similarity in someone else’s mind and thought process. Now knowing that we have this we need to attempt to let ourselves forget that. If we try to make a connection from our mind to someone else’s mind we have already failed. We must try to train ourselves to loosen our minds and take the caste of another’s. The first step in doing this is to actually do and not see. This does not virtually mean we have to do it physically; we have to be able to imagine it on another plain. By imagining it on another plain we are not exactly imagining it, we are living it. Once we can live it, we can attempt to understand it. We still must all accept our ignorance and know we shall be ignorant for the rest of our lives. How we choose to live with this ignorance is up to the individual.

You say nothing of Previous memories, some people believe that we actually carry memories from ancestors...what are your views on that?

Well that is something I need to think of more. However, I believe it is possible that we can carry memories from ancestors through genetics. It makes sense logically, so given that if you're trying to understand an individual going down the family tree my help as well. You just have to be careful in drawing your connections, because the individual still has his own way of thinking that is unique. There are some things in this world that we may never fully understand. I think this may be one of them.
