philosophie philosophy theologie theology

Words fly away, but writings remain. That's how I conceived this collection of philosophical and theological reflections. A modest immersion into my mind. Each text is like a photograph of a moment. With time and by the grace of God, I will continue to expand my thoughts as much as this book. At my young age, I like to imagine it as a spiritual and intellectual testament.

The title of the work is taken from Marcus Aurelius' book, it is intentional and deliberate. I do not intend to publish it; the candid tone and topics would lead to censorship.

It seems important to me to clarify, without wanting to be pedantic, that in this work, I refer to many concepts, works, and individuals. It is therefore necessary, before any knee-jerk rejection or validation, to possess sufficient knowledge to fully grasp my thoughts. Enjoy the reading and, above all, do not hesitate to engage in debate afterward.All Rights Reserved

#JoinTheConversation by VCoralSandsV

These little hashtags pepper our lives. These are mine and how they represent me. At least that is how I wanted this book to be. It was to be a book of short articles using a hashtag as inspiration. However, it has grown and changed as I have. This book was birthed from my not-so-short social media posts. As I began engaging with people who don't share the same opinion as me, I dug deeper into trying to understand how I decided on my beliefs. I did some armchair research on Street Epistemology. If you haven't heard of it, YouTube it. It will get you to think! I did. I came face to face with what I believed, how I got there, and why. It also forced me to ask whether my beliefs are consistent with my morals and ethics. This book is my contribution to the marketplace of ideas. Hopefully, it stands up to scrutiny. If not, let me know. Maybe you will change my mind. Don't be afraid to join in the conversation; our fluid and diverse voices make our society unique.

Infinite Love: A Diary of Remembrance by janajeremy

Content warning: There are sections of writing in this book which contain references to suicidal ideation, self-harm, hallucinations and delusions both psychotic and neurotic. The writing within this book is the direct writing from my day-to-day diary that had been kept from 6 January, 2020 until May 24, 2020. Serendipitously, I was in the middle of a great struggle when I first began writing in it, and it eventually became too much to bear. There was inevitably a so-called awakening, which gave me the very simple knowing of who I am (and who you are) and which allowed me to deepen within myself through this knowing. It was a stillness that was such an obvious thing in my existence that it had always been subconsciously overlooked as unimportant. It isn't satisfying to the mind to just be, but it is infinitely satisfying to the being to just be. Nothing is missing and nothing needs to be found. This is the simplicity of the still, non-phenomenal being which is in fact yourself and myself, as one Self. This book is something which came out of that stillness, and held within it is an attempt to point towards whatever this is that I have discovered as myself. I do hope that you find it somewhat enjoyable and perhaps learn a thing or two about yourself. Thank you.

Abroad by ChristopherMCuevas

The purpose of this poetry book is one of defiance. Not to others, or anything in particular. It is against the war we wage internally, against ourselves every day. There is no bigger challenge in life than facing your thoughts, your true emotions, your feelings when you lie alone at night by yourself, cornered. We tend to postpone them, shelf them, as we grow accustomed to our daily activities, never giving ourselves a chance to evaluate ourselves. Who are we? what do we lack? what do we need? In this book, I took it upon myself to air out all of my grievances, my intimate thoughts, my happiness, my disappointments, my sadness all out in the open, for all to see. I wanted to face it all. To stare my mortality dead in the eyes, and let the lingering stare sit, I wanted to simmer the feeling of weakness, of every single type of emotion, completely digest it, and let it manifest genuinely, reading it, again and again, perfecting it, again and again, until the feeling of pain subsides. I there is anything that I want you to take from this book, is time. Yes, just a word, time. It goes by, so have not regrets, and never leave something from saying. If you are looking for a sign to remind you, to tell you parents, brothers, sisters, daughters, grandparents, wives, friends you love them? This is it...

Behind The Walls Of Treebecca by GeorgiaSkg

The story book set a clear message to everyone, Behind the Walls of Treebecca.

I think of my life and compares with others focusing on the backgrounds,how you have been raised and how i was raised, sometimes you Will find your self in the situation where by you need someone you can trust, and seek an advice from! Instead of approaching your parents, l mean you cant face them, l mean face to face, the is lot of things you need to know, but u cant ask those questions to them, in some cultures it forbids parents to discuss with their children about their relationship's, boys and girlfriends. It is more difficult for them to talk to us as our parents. You had to make decisions but not measuring the risks, it can affect you in a very short space of time caused by uncertain answers from where you get your advises from. As it goes from the beginning, The Light...

Spiritual Formation: A Testimony of God's Power that Transforms, and Corrects by ThePurplePrince

This is sort of a Part Two to my book "My Heart" except this one is more of a theological divinity detailed story of my life, and some of the realest stuff that even my loved ones do not know about. If this is something that you think will offend you from reading it then maybe it is for you to read. All comments are welcome except negative comments. Much love, TPP

The Greylands: Modern Edition by SusanSkylark

A land of shadows, of mystery, of obfuscated Truth. Welcome to the Greylands, that strange world, within the bounds of Time, peopled by mortal men. We cannot see truly, only as through a glass, darkly. There are things that move and have their being completely beyond our ability to perceive them. There are things beyond our mortal ability to comprehend. There are hints and glimmers hidden within the body of revealed Truth, but there is much we do not know, cannot yet understand, and could never dare dream. These stories are mere fancy, with a seed of Truth at their core. They play with the ideas of mortality and Eternity, Time and things beyond it, and of course the epic battle of Good against Evil. Each stands alone, and though there are common themes, threads, names, and concepts, each story is an entity unto itself and should not be seen as occurring in the same world or mistaken for installments of a series. These are random musings, not Gospel Truth, and should not be taken as such. Joy, hope, and encouragement are hopefully a byproduct, but certainly not sound Theology. If you would know more of the true world beyond these Greylands, one must be a careful student of the Scriptures, not of silly stories such as these. While still fairytales, these stories are set in modern surroundings rather than the land of Faerie! Each story is unique unto itself, and doesn't reference any other story, world or character elsewhere.

Void Stage by devadattagyana

Do you want to understand why world is 'Void Stage' and we need to attain 'Void State' to understand the reality behind humans existence. Has 'Spiritual Awakening or Enlightenment' occurred to you? But if you're wondering what to do next till death, or if negative thoughts are clouding your head, this book will provide you an easy way to keep living in life, as fullness is what matters most, and with a new goal to pursue. If you choose to accompany me, I will take you on my journey from the past till present as a story, not like any boring nonfiction book. My purpose is to bring down Satan who lives inside us by eradicating ignorance and sharing few realities. I am writing this book for the mankind and selflessly sharing it with all, so you are free to share it with the needy or with your dear ones.

Darkness & Light: The Philosophical Path of an Eclectic Pagan by JAGreene37

There is no telling exactly how life will unfold as it will. My journey seems as if it has just begun, but I understand that my journey has already taken many of years for it to unfold as it has to this point. This is only a start to a new path for me to travel. It does not render all previous paths useless, but rather, it only closes the book on one in order to open and unveil a new one in return. It is yet a continuation of a previous story, but the beginning and end of a story in of itself. It only yields itself to the true nature of the story, which is the waving in and out of all stories intertwined with each other with each passing moment. I shall reveal the stories that are hidden and guide the reader to understand the intricate stories revealed in my lifetime, at least one in particular that I find particularly intriguing. It is a story that I have searched for all of my life, and it is a story that is only beginning to take shape. I leave this note in peace. - Jon

The leaving 11 years on on going stopped up dating for a awhile by CarolOBrien1

The leaving. It was hard, tragic , painful, yet it had to be done, I needed to save my life. I didn't want to start again, this would be the story of finding myself, pulling myself back together, reuniting the happy go lucky youngster I had once been. The shock of leaving took more of a toll on me than I thought it would. I had asked two people to help me move out of the house I had shared with my partner for 8 years, we had been together 23 years in total. The move was done in total secrecy, my partner could never know in advance, it was a very scary time. I had moved various things out of the house and secured a rent on a property nearby. The house I picked was near the School the children went to, and my oldest lad was going to be near his best friend. My Mother told me of the property it was advertised on the web, we both went and had a look, even that was scary, I didn't want to be seen by anyone and became paranoid that I would be caught out. For many months I lived on a new kind of fear, the fear of someone finding out that I planned to leave my abusive partner, though of course no one knew my seemingly happy, funny, generous partner was abusive. Finding the house was one thing, getting the various companies to connect the house and exchanging the information of my current address so they could varify that I was, who I said I was almost drove me mad. The day came to leave, My Mother and a very dear Friend came round as early as possible, we packed as much as we could. This included taking the boys clothes, bedding, toys, stuff from the garden, my stuff. We had 3 cars the packing seem to take all day. By the end we had to get going to be able to unpack, leaving me time to pick up the boys from School and settle them in their new home. I couldn't do it at first,I started to cry then scream, to leave the world I had put so much of my life into, and now in a split second would be leaving was breaking my heart.
