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.

About a certain return de s_trenton
22 partes Concluida Contenido adulto
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?

I wrote this for EVERYONE. To appeal to anyone that reads ANY genre. It combines almost all of them. It's an introduction to the Worlds of Within universe. When you get to the action parts (which doesn't take long) you should be invested enough to want to unravel the mysteries and enjoy its intrigue... The flood is raging. A terrifying, heartless mountain of water, swallowing the world . The tunnel networks? Of course, that won't save them. The forests? Like leaves in a breeze. The lookout towers and trade hubs? Gone. Washed clean. Every home, every last trace of what once was. Gamleon is the first to see it ... and survive. His mind is near collapse, his heart broken. He runs. What would YOU do? What could anyone do? Some scrape by in a mythological setting of beasts and medieval men. Cruel, literally cold-blooded Gorgon hordes enforce an absolute rule slithering in the tunnels beneath the feet of every kingdom. There is an isolated, forgotten place. A cavern, magnificent and vast, older than civilization. A place where the weird and the unwanted might ride out this cataclysm if Gamleon can stay alive long enough to get them there.. In this special place, something incredible, cut off from the outside, lurks. Something... you won't be ready for or ever expect. Gamleon, our weary adventurer, is a paradox: terrifying to some perhaps, yet his heart and intent is helpful, with a quiet dignity bordering on noble, intimidating and innately intelligent. The only way back out is to navigate the Gorgon tunnels. Join him, won't you ? Share his inner thoughts . See and feel how they help us all learn how to persist and triumph in spite of a world where everything is stacked against us. ( sound familiar, it should.) Join him and be swept away as he encounters or invents never-before-seen innovations and outrageous challenges. Dignity meets hope. Self-respect shines beyond courage. Welcome my friend to the Worlds of Within.
