Plato's Allegory of the Cave

    In Plato's Allegory of the Cave, people are chained facing a wall. A fire is across the cave, casting shadows which are all the people can see. They would think the shadows are all that exist. Suppose someone escaped these chains. They would see real objects for the first time, and see the fire casting the shadows. If they left the cave, they would see even more things, objects and creatures which would be incomprehensible to those in the cave who had only seen shadow objects. Of course, this would mean that to those who remain in their chains the person who escaped would be misunderstood and seen as a madman

    Using our five senses, we can only see the "shadow" world. To see the true nature of things people must look beyond their senses and break free of mental chains. Philosophy breaks these chains, revealing the true nature of the world to the mind of the philosopher. However, especially in the time of Plato, philosophy was seen as dangerous and philosophers such as Socrates (Plato and his brother Glaucon's mentor) were put to death.All Rights Reserved

About a certain return by s_trenton

The man whom all happens by accident (though, according to the said, nothing is accidental), launches the adventure with a dream which seems somehow ominous, before beginning his day as he always did. Hence the natural things change. Anyway, no matter how improbable, serious, dangerous, these events are continually harass him, it always ends with a return to his family, though looks like he forgets some details, but recovers. It is the main and stable theme of this work. I introduce you a tree. We talked about the root, look at stem and its strong branches. The hero of the book slips into parallel worlds. Is attracted, pushed, there he must to come. In the world of Mr. M. (a possible name) is creeping a... God. This secondary character grows the tree, give its strength. Although his influence is important in a subconscious world, his power is also manifested in what we consider as reality. We quickly notice that "reality" is not reality that we, who we are, feel, but beyond it happens something more unusual. Let's return to our hypothetical kabbalistic tree. In "reality", the God manifests himself mystical, through fraternities, inspirations, visions, possession, strange theories, tempting and enticing. This god that changes, transforms, his subjects, has supporters and strong opponents. The sneak of the patriarchal god in a matriarchal society cannot be done without fight. Mr. M. is not only the target of the god who wants supremacy but is discovered by a group of true light source hunters. With them he will go into a new spiritual adventure, to the knowledge of necessary truth. This goal creates and reinforces positive heroes. On top head of tree stands the Light of Truth. The light is hidden by an (almost) impenetrable dome. To breakthrough from inside is allowed a method... Further, mystical world is wasted... The hidden things are touched by specialists light. "Where are we really?" asks M. to the end, like many of us ask ourselves. Do we feel the light?

Evelyn Riddle and the Chamber of Secrets by eurydices_wife

"Curse you, Dad." After Harry basically murdered a man who had Voldemort on the back of his head, I thought this year couldn't be any crazier. Well, Petrified students and the Heir of Slytherin proved me wrong. After an ordinary Halloween night went terribly wrong, I knew this year wasn't going to be normal. Rumors about the Chamber of Secrets and theories about who was the Heir of Slytherin started to arise, but it seemed that most people were suspecting my best friend, Harry Potter - which meant we only had so long to prove it wasn't him before the school closed down. Illegal potion brewing, a suspicious diary, and spiders hiding a giant secret - you bet this year was insane. [ book two of the riddle's daughter series ]

Catharsis [Tom Riddle] by DaffyDarling

COMPLETED 4/4/2021 "The people who often times do terrible things, are the same ones who have had terrible things done to them." After Lord Voldemort murdered Harry Potter in the Battle of Hogwarts, the world became plagued with a darkness unlike anything it had seen before. Muggles were slaughtered in the streets, the Dark wizard's opponents were executed for show, and all those who had fought with the Order were forced into hiding. Avalon had lost it all-- her friends, her peers, her loved ones. Everything. So, when she was thrown back in time to 1943, she knew that it was up to her to change the course of time and rewrite a new history-- one in which she had to find the Horcruxes and murder Tom Riddle before he could ever become Voldemort. Tom Riddle. Avalon Hendrix. Either she was going to kill him, or he was going to kill everyone she loved. They were nothing more than two products of extreme circumstance that chose two very different paths, yet had time for their roads to converge. --Due to the amount of spoilers in the comments, I will be muting all accounts who comment with the #RR hashtag.

The Serpent's Heir by Destiel_067

Harry Potter, the supposed golden boy, was never meant to be the hero everyone expected. When Dumbledore's grand plan started to unravel, it was clear that the wizarding world would face a different kind of savior. Instead of a loyal Gryffindor, Harry walked into Hogwarts with the dark, calculating air of a pureblood heir and an ancient venomous magical snake by his side. His arrival shattered expectations-especially when he was sorted into Slytherin. No longer the carefree child of Lily and James, Harry embraced his true heritage, one entwined with power, cunning, and the legacy of his ancestors. With every step, he reveals just how far Dumbledore's manipulation went, and the unmasking of his true self puts him at odds with the very people who thought they knew him best. Hermione, Ron, and even his own family stand in his way, but Harry is no longer the naive boy they once knew. The wizarding world is about to witness the rise of a new force, one who will carve his own path, free from the shackles of old alliances and expectations.

Creature (Minecraft YouTuber AU) by enchantedreadshere

As the trees and its land slowly burn down by he deadly purple acid, a man that was watching from afar shivered at this sight. This has been going on for ages, and the creature hasn't been stopped. If they didn't stop the thing on time, everything they knew, everything they have ever known. Every building ever created, every world that has been generated, would be gone. The man looked towards his companion, or was he, his companion? His friend has been acting a bit strange, acting anything but not himself. The man took a deep breath and sighed. He looked towards the man with a stern face, gripping onto his iron sword. "Are you sure, you aren't, It?" His friend looked back at him, and chuckled coldly in response. "You know me, buddy, I wouldn't let It get to me." On the next day, the man's friend was gone. So was the other. *Narrating will get better the more you read* *COMPLETE* (YouTubers au, based on the actual ******** world. More and more YouTubers will appear, some will get mentioned, some will appear once, and some will not, and if you're a youtuber reading this, please don't read this cause uhhh, it's not good.

The Interesting Book: Deeper Conversation With God by abrilowens

"The Cave You Fear To Enter Hold The Treasure You Seek." Are you someone who believes in something beyond our understanding-a person who says, "There's something out there, but we won't know it until we can"? Who told you that the "right moment" even exists when time itself is a construct created by humans? Honestly, I'd suggest you put this book down and not waste your time, because everyone has their own "right time" to understand what I'm trying to convey here. I recorded myself while talking about things I had never even heard of before as a non religious person with lacking GOD concept. . It was me, yet it felt like an upgraded version of myself guiding me to develop further. This version of me presented an option: What if everything you know, everything you've been, and everything you've labeled could be erased, allowing you to start over and build a completely new sense of self? HER said, "If you're not ready to understand who I am and what I'm trying to say, then 'QUIT.' Because it took immense time, pain, and experience for you to endure and evolve to reach me and sustain this communication." And so, I did. The book you'll be reading is a transcript of the audio I recorded. Interestingly, it resembles a religious text-though, believe me, I didn't intend it to. It just happened. Later, I searched for the first "God word" that corresponded with specific numbers through the transcripts, and I discovered connections to related verses across 12 major global religions, smaller religions, indigenous beliefs, new religious movements, denominations, and sects which you will find them in the book. But here's the truth: everyone is capable of understanding-once they reach the right intellectual and spiritual evolution. I assume you've decided to stay. So, what if I told you that to truly be born into real reality, you must first experience a kind of death?....

Naive Love (Draco Malfoy x Reader) by finyaaa

"What's your zodiac sign?" "Gemini, why?" "I don't know. I just believe that people's zodiac signs explain a lot about their personality and why they act the way they do", you explain turning to him. "What does it tell you about me?" he asks a little confused. "It makes sense. You have different sides to you and one can never know which they'll get." "That's not true. I don't have different sides!" he snaps. "I'm sure you do. You just only show one of them. I know you're not evil, Draco", you say looking right at him. For a moment, you can see how broken he is from the anger and emptiness in his eyes until he turns away. "You don't know me at all." You're a transfer student from Beauxbatons spending your sixth year at Hogwarts. Soon, a platinum blonde haired boy catches your eye and you immediately fall for him. You don't know what you got yourself into and an emotional rollercoaster begins for the both of you. Contains: Mature language, mature content, choking, panic attacks All the characters belong to J.K. Rowling (except y/n and y/n's parents) as well as the whole Harry Potter universe and storyline

Altered (DISCONTINUED) by erenwouldnever

In which, they are from the future. A very dangerous, terror stricken future. You see, in order to keep the Wizarding World's existence a secret, we hid our world in a dimension of this universe. Like a pocket or hole in a piece of fabric. The larger the hole or pocket, the more strain it puts on the fabric. The Wizarding World is huge and a very large space in time was needed to hide it from the muggle world. The more the populations grew, the bigger the hole got and eventually it threatened to rip apart the universe. U-765. Muggles have ventured to the past before, in hopes of stopping a madman from disintegrating half of the living population. They stopped him but with restoring all the life he had taken, they created an even bigger hole. Now, the future is at stake, not just muggles. All of us. The Universe was in the process of falling apart while they paraded around like King Farquaad from that muggle movie, Shrek. While they feigned superiority, the muggles, the mundanes were evolving, were becoming better than them because they couldn't let go of their past and salvage traditions at the same time. What a shame they were to this universe, the universe they claimed to love.

The Girl Who Saw Tomorrow III » Harry Potter by bugsies

BOOK 3 OF THE GIRL WHO SAW TOMORROW - Make sure you have read the first two. ❝No one, no matter how great, can know of their own Destiny...❞ As the war against Voldemort rages, an unexpected rebellion brews amidst the crowds. For the first time since the time of Merlin, legends of a magical being are spreading across the Wizarding and Muggle worlds, sending into peril the very Statute of Secrecy that has allowed the Wizarding kind to live in freedom. Some call them a saviour, others call them a dangerous untamable force. But all agree on one thing: Darkness itself bends to their will. And nothing dark is ever good, right? Alas, there is no answer in sight. Harry Potter is nowhere to be found. Hogwarts has been overrun by Death Eaters. The Order of the Phoenix is in hiding. The Ministry is in shambles. And Lord Voldemort is breathing fear into every aspect of life. In the eye of the storm stands Margaret Xenakis. Meticulously planning aspects of the future could have never prepared her for the bloodshed of war. When a legendary magical society offers a once-in-a-lifetime chance, Margaret realises that the Wizarding World outside Hogwarts is much more complex than she had expected. With her own life at stake, she must make her stand for the greater good before it's too late. No matter how unprepared or unworthy she feels. It is up to her, and only her, to minimise the damage of the crossfire. Sounds like a lot? Add Death, Darkness and Doom to the mix. Talk about absolutely unhinged luck... ~~~ Warning: this fic is a giant band-aid to the plot boo-boos of Deathly Hallows book and movie storylines :)

Next by Master_King_Queen

If you had no reason to live, would you die? Would you give up everything in the world-your family, your friends, your future-just because there was no meaning to your life? But...what would be a good enough reason to live? Love? Friendship? Destiny? What about the impending feeling that there should be more, needs to be more...and that's what humans never really understand. Their reason. Their purpose. There are truly only two ways to learn: Being evolved...or being dead, and this realization leads to an internal struggle between the two. When Beta wakes up in the deadlands of Plato, it's very clear that it wasn't what he was expecting. Despite the fact that he's in the land where dead men go, he felt like he didn't belong. A battle was brewing back on Earth, and he was supposed to be fighting in it. Follow a literal dead man walking as, in between two worlds turning to turmoil, he and a few other lost souls struggle to find a reason to live again...even if that reason leads to an endless road of misery, waiting to see what happens next. (I update every Thursday.)
