The Oracle Chapter 1 (Logos)

Thought
(Sképsi)

1. The Oracle defines thought as the authentic and creative flow of ideas and associations that lead to a realistic and rational conclusion. Thoughts are conducive to the mind and necessary for the structure of philosophy. For our ideas to be conceived, they must have thought as their origin.

2. What originally encompasses thought is, to many people, an insoluble mystery that contests its conceptualisation and viable function. It is comparable to the abstract notion of time. We know that time exists and that time functions within the perimeters of reality. Thought exists within the perimeters of the mind.

3. There is no absolute consensus as to how it is defined or understood, because thought underlies numerous human actions and interactions, understanding its physical and metaphysical origins, processes and effects. The Oracle teaches us that, in the philosophical sense, it is the active mechanism of the mind.

4. We can only presuppose, with a certain intimation, its natural composition and conglomeration. Aristotle, the logician, stated that although we know thought is concatenated with our senses, thought does not require them to initiate its process. The mind produces knowledge whether it is perceived by our senses or not, such as in the knowledge of arithmetic, algebra and geometry.

5. What can be established is the fact that it originates from the mind with conspicuousness. Socrates emphasised the need for thought when he stated that understanding a question is half an answer. There is still so much about the world that we do not comprehend. We know only a small amount of its actual existence.

6. Thinking allows humans to comprehend, interpret and represent the engrossing capacity of logos. Aristotle stated three forms of thinking: productive thinking, which is engaged in producing thought; practical thinking, which is engaged in deciding what to do with that thought; and finally, theoretical thinking, which is engaged in what is known of that thought.

7. Thought is aligned with cognitive or rational interpretation, which affects the manner in which we understand its entire process. Its fundamental role is to apply a construct that we can process with our mind and develop afterwards.

8. Consciousness interprets the thought, intellect deciphers the thought, and logic implements the importance of the thought. It is a natural and efficient process of rational thinking based on the meticulous concept of logos espoused by the Oracle.

9. This effective mechanism is the prescribed method in philosophy that proceeds with an emphatic degree. Aristotle stated that there were five states of the mind to reach the truth: science, art, practical wisdom, intuitive reason, and theoretical application. By science he meant the act of drawing correct inferences from premises known to be actual. By art he meant the kind of knowledge that enables us to make useful decisions. By practical wisdom he meant the power of deliberating how a state of being, which will satisfy us, is to become existential. By intuitive reason he meant the complement to the excellence of science, which knows the premises from which those conclusions are introduced. Finally, by theoretical application, he meant the application of thought that is understood as all conceptual.

10. Thought is ignited by the mind, which is its transcendental engine and sustenance. The conclusion of a thought differs from science to philosophy. Scientific conclusions of thought are based on investigations undertaken by science, while in contrast, philosophical conclusions of thought are based more on common experience.

11. If there is one thing that distinguishes animals from humans, it is our immense mind. Thought is the culmination of human expression. We must realise that with thought there is a noticeable contingency of contradiction; namely, when referring to the state of our mind. Our mind can be our strongest ally, but at the same time, our strongest foe as well.

12. Animals depend primarily on the persistence of instinct, whilst humans, for the most part, depend on the application of thought. Instinct is the visible opposite of it and is regarded not as equal to its imposed limitations, but it is instrumental at times to the operations of our engaged actions.

13. Aristotle surmised three laws of thought: the Law of Identity, the Law of Non-Contradiction, and the Law of the Excluded Middle. The first signifies that everything is the same as itself; or a statement cannot change its true value. The second signifies that nothing can both exist and not exist at the same time and in the same respect; or no statement is both true and false. The third signifies that something either exists or does not exist; or every statement is either true or false.

14. Thought is conducive to our behavioural actions and decisions that have been taken and processed. Anaxagoras once said, "Mind is the cause of all natural law and order, just as the mind is the cause of the orderliness and coherence of human action." The mind is what activates our thoughts.

15. Thought is in agreement with logos as a cogitative element of its practice and participation. If mental properties are supervenient on physical properties, then people with identical bodies will also have identical minds. This would suggest that even an abstract thing that is thought can influence indirectly or directly, the physical mind and body.

16. Its anonymous factor is its noticeable cause and effect that proceeds to the heightened level of awareness that we must ascertain to know its function and purpose. Within the structure of our mind, thoughts are constantly evolving with celerity.

17. Thought cannot recognise completely what is good from bad alone, without the assistance and establishment of logic and consciousness. Ergo, the mind must correlate deeply with that precise thought, the perception that it represents in its totality.

18. Plato once stated that thinking was the talking of the soul with itself, and opinion was the medium between knowledge and ignorance. If the soul in the philosophy of the Oracle was able to communicate intrinsically with the mind, then the communication would be revealed by thoughts.

19. If we are to believe that statement, then it is the mind that is the phrontistery of thought and the soul the recognition of thoughts. There is a clear difference and partiality between what is proposed from a thought and what is generated from an idea. Thought tends to be more objective, whilst opinion more subjective.

20. What differentiates the value of thought from opinion is the notion that a sound thought is more practical, while opinion is more conditional. Opinions are conditioned by the thoughts elaborated, while thoughts are predicated on their practicality.

21. Opinion governs the criterion of a certain response, but thought does not procure this necessary requirement. Thus, thought is much more effective when it is elucidated and utilised for a particular purpose. A purpose that displays the activities of the mind.

22. What we presume to opine is not necessarily indicative of thought; instead, what we contemplate is. Our contemplation allows our thought to progress and evolve. What we should understand about thought is the fact that thought is interchangeable with opinion.

23. The mind is nourished by it, but it needs universal knowledge and wisdom too, to be able to consciously be effective in our lives. Without this knowledge and wisdom, our thoughts are incomplete and irrational. The essence of thought is preserved in the retention of memory.

24. From its original conception, we are given access to the seed of knowledge and wisdom. It is for us humans to advance this seed with rational thinking, and for us to impart the teachings of philosophy. When we learn the meaning of what a thought is or what it consists of, then we are learning philosophy.

25. This access that we are permitted eventually evolves into a distinct pattern of logic that will define the pattern of our mind and its function. Everything that is attached to logos has an important function that we should ascribe to its practice.

26. With each thought processed thoroughly, our mind gradually develops the thought with its recurrence. Thought permits us to enhance our mind tremendously with things that will benefit us. We must distinguish what benefits us and what leads to our self-destruction.

27. Thoughts are preserved in our vitalised memory and correspond to the formulated pattern of our intrinsic logic. A logic that permits us to attempt to rationalise our thoughts efficaciously. When we are aware of this relevance, then we can process in our mind the basis for our thoughts.

28. Whereupon our mind then becomes aware of the existential soul, with our nisus and our ability to distinguish thought plainly. It is important to emphasise that thought depends not only on our mind, but on our body to achieve the task of revealing our thoughts.

29. Thought signifies that it is a constant cycle of a repetitive act that we understand forms a part of logic and the core of our beliefs, but it is also the indicated instrument for our assumed concepts, theories or arguments postulated.

30. Thought does not preclude or exclude irrationality as a possible consequence, but thought requires consciousness for a distinction to be formed between a rational thought and an irrational thought. It is the individual whose rationality must be questioned.

31. Judgement and cognisance are the determining factors that contribute to that understanding. Without either one of those factors, we simply lose the ability to reason. We must take into consideration that with our thoughts there is a responsibility for them.

32. Nothing more can be expounded with introspection from that concise analysis or presupposition, except the fact that we are constantly evolving in thought. Once we have realised the magnitude of the potentiality of our mind, we then better understand the range of our thinking.

33. The peculiar uniqueness of that supposition lies in establishing a method of logic that is not hypothetical in origin, but reliable. When we have a foundation for our thoughts, we are then capable of engaging the mind with those thoughts.

34. Thought is progressively controlled by the excellent stability of the mind and its capacity. I have categorised six different types of thought: Perirastic Thought (experimental), Heuristic Thought (problem-solving), Telic Thought (goal-oriented), Dianoetic Thought (reasonable), Alogistic Thought (illogical), and Epideictic Thought (rhetorical).

35. We cannot recognise thoughts if we are incapable of deciphering their true meaning in reality. Thoughts cannot exist on their own and be reasonable without consciousness to support them. It is important that we have a sound mind, structured well.

36. Therefore, if this is not achieved, it is worthless and relegated to mere perception, undefined in nature and in the schematic variables of logic that are established. Nothing without purpose is meaningful, just as nothing without thought truly exists.

37. Whilst it is feasible that the mind can be thoughtless and function on instinct, it becomes an unproductive void in its primary capacity. Instinct is not thought, just as thought is not instinctive. There is a great difference between the capacity of thought and the limitations of instinct.

38. Subsequently, with instinct, the mental faculties of our mind cease to produce thoughts that enable our insight to gain sufficient knowledge and wisdom. This is why we must distinguish between the necessity of thought and the baseness of instinct.

39. When instinct overtakes thought, we lose the total capacity of intellect with its diminishment and vitality. Our thoughts are measured by our intellect and examined by our awareness. The things we perceive are as significant as the things we conceive.

40. Ergo, without thought there is no actual knowledge or wisdom upon which to base the principle of logos in philosophy. Logos must be consistent with thought. The philosophy of the Oracle inspires us to use our thoughts wisely and productively.

41. It is not an understatement to state that the greatest gift to the mind is the unchanging purity of thought and its full development revealed. A thought that matures in its purpose is a thought aligned with its principal function.

42. Thought is the one thing boundless in organisation and significance, to which we ascribe its attachment and fulfilment in life. When discussing thought, we are conscious of its capacity to be enhanced.

43. What we may assume definite in it can be indefinite in its main substance and in the interpretation we perceive of that philosophical notion. The balance of the mind is intrinsically linked to the balance of our thoughts. This is firmly embedded in the concept of logos.

44. Nothing about a thought can be presumed accurate if we do not apply reason and logic to prove the validity of that thought. This indicates that thought is governed by the perception of what it represents in general.

45. When we apply thought, we are either in the process of induced reasoning or deduced affirmation. Either method is constructed for implementation, if it is done rationally and effectively. When achieved, its purpose will be useful for our argument.

46. Perception does not define whether a thought is good or bad until judgement is fully facilitated and reached with our minds infused with reason. This is how we determine the difference. Philosophy teaches us to notice that clear contrast.

47. With sound judgement, the culmination of thought is effectuated, necessitating the process with the outcome of that elaborate thought. What we do with our thoughts mostly depends on our decisions and actions that either enable or disable our minds in thought.

48. To assert broadly that thought is a considerable component of the mind is not a baseless assumption to be dismissed so foolishly outside philosophy. We should know that when thoughts are controlled, it is because of logic.

49. For centuries there has been the fascinating question: what is the ultimate definition of thought per se? This question may be answered by asking what we seek from it and what we want its representation to mean. Until we realise the importance of that thought, the answer will remain elusive and uncertain.

50. A thought is not artificial intelligence in essence, but a natural function of the mind, produced for a particular purpose. The notion of artificial thought would conclude with an artificial mind.

51. Naturally, we can confute this argument with alternative suppositions, but not with errant perceptions and unfounded interpretations. We must keep the argument philosophical and rational in discourse.

52. By exploiting our creativity, we can maximise the potential of thought successfully and achieve our goals and aspirations in life. This component of the mind ultimately conduces to the expansion of thoughts and the discovery of abilities.

53. Creativity is formed from a singular thought that becomes an emerging idea understood from that predicate proposed. What makes our creativity boundless is that we are conscious of the formation of thoughts exhibited with intelligence.

54. In return, that idea advances the thought forward into a mature concept conclusive in its consolidation. Thus, the progress of thought can be interpreted as when our minds are engaged with creativity, good thoughts are created and defined.

55. Indeed, it is a mutual collaboration that benefits the progression of the mind and the ability to function together. When we learn how much we can expand our thoughts continuously, we consider the value of those thoughts produced.

56. What the mind can project with thoughts and ideas forms what is ultimately known as creativity. We often depend on creativity for the use of our thoughts and for the ability to discover the reflection of our mind.

57. Creativity responds to absolute thoughts and ideas formulated within our minds, with the ability to project thoughts knowingly. We must not forget that our thoughts are not only developed by the abstract utility of creativity.

58. Ergo, thoughts are the irrefutable origin of our creativity and logic, exposed at different intervals and demonstrative episodes in our lives. When we realise our thoughts are measured by their effectiveness, we understand their import.

59. We can choose to understand thought as an element of logos or accept it as an indefinite mystery insoluble in nature. When we determine it is practical and useful, we acknowledge the importance of its function to the mind.

60. Its eventual preservation acknowledges the cycle that begins and ends with the concept of logos. Thoughts may be seen as a repetitive cycle, yet they are vital to the sustenance of logos.

61. Within a single thought, we can demonstrate its inducement and be mindful of how it operates in function. A rational thought is capable of many important things but cannot be productive without consciousness.

62. The faculties of the mind are reasonably associated with the preservation of the body and soul. The Oracle professes the need for that preservation and necessity. It informs us about the operations and methods the mind uses regarding thought.

63. Thought is an endless process of continual application determining our actions knowingly. Once determined, we may proceed with attaining knowledge and wisdom. To comprehend our thoughts firmly, we must find transparency in them to assess their validity.

64. It is futile to reject its relevant nature when it operates according to philosophy’s teachings. Therefore, it should be known that in philosophy, what we accept as factual is usually what is presumed to be the case.

65. Hence, the imposition of thought is recognised within the keen method of its verification and purpose. Thought is the vehicle of our viable expression. It is significant that we understand thought is what we depend on for concepts, theories, ideas, and more.

66. We muse the possibility of its capacity to extend beyond the unexplored boundaries of the mind’s comprehensibility. The mind permits us to observe and perceive abstract things. Those forming part of reality tend to be more understandable.

67. Can there be a cosignificant comparison of thought to the state of our awareness? Indeed, that question may be answered by acknowledging that we are conscious beings. It is not a matter of whether we possess consciousness, but rather when we discover the importance of consciousness.

68. Our thoughts form part of our consciousness, and we ought not to dismiss those rational thoughts that align with our judgement. What is the primary difference between conscious and subconscious thought? This is a question that requires keen introspection of the mind.

69. If we consider the definitions, we would discover that the sole difference lies in the actual perception of each condition. We might define the relevance of that condition by what we understand them to signify, or simply by what those states of mind represent in their entirety.

70. The concept most closely attached to this philosophy is the procurement of the basis of thought and its logical form. Thought can be defined in various connotations or described through a plethora of representations, but what ought to be emphasised is the practicality of thought.

71. The mind is the instrument of thought and it conducts the motion or movements of its accessibility to our actions. The mind is supposed to be in control of thought. When it is not, it becomes irrational. This is how we determine the value of our actions.

72. As with a mathematical equation, the process is then determined within the sequential episode of its introduction and deduction. By employing the method of deduction, we perceive the meaning of thought and how it enables our mind to function.

73. We adduce the relativisation of the concept within the primary achievement of its induction and pattern unfolded, alongside the concept of logic. It is logic that maintains the order of thought and permits us to analyse and effectuate the effectiveness of our thoughts.

74. What can be stipulated as an irrefutable deduction of logos is the authenticity of its elements and their coherence. When our thoughts are truly rational, our mind proceeds to decipher those thoughts with precision. It is that precision which we acquire over time.

75. Thought represents the essential reason behind our consistent pattern of questioning that contributes to the emergent nous that exists within the mind. When we seek answers to our questions, we acknowledge that we are not merely inquisitive in nature, but determined to resolve our curiosities.

76. There is a prevailing sense that our mind is nourished constantly by the activity of thought and its important participation within our consciousness. The basic function of thought is to emerge into the pattern of concrete concepts and ideas that can be established as rational.

77. The mind is the unrivalled authority that governs our quotidian thoughts, emotions and actions expressed willingly, but our thoughts are designed to be more elaborated than emotions. What makes thoughts more constructive is what we produce with them.

78. If we accentuate the true meaning of expression, we discover the intrinsic part of our former experiences shared and proportioned by time. In time, we discover the meaning of our thoughts and how to use them wisely and efficiently.

79. The Oracle is the sole exponent of this philosophy and the abundant source of information that provides us with its teachings. Teachings which are to serve us knowingly as a precursor to the acknowledgement of our thoughts. To be intuitive of our thoughts is to be cognisant of their relevance.

80. From the plethora of thoughts, the mind expands its active output of concepts and facts, developing them into a certain pattern of knowledge that we recognise as factual and logical. In this regard, we should be attentive to the operations of the mind.

81. The mind is the supreme mechanism, and thoughts are the important elements that initiate the absorbing process which continues to progress with time. The ability we have to decipher thoughts depends on our capacity to understand their intricate nature.

82. Thus, what must be explicated is the experimental stage of our mind for recognising the essence of that process and the benefit of its rewards. When we fail to understand things related to thoughts, we are unaware of their full capability.

83. Consequently, it is fundamental that we do not manipulate the conceptualised process of thinking carelessly, nor believe that we know everything about the world and life in general. This misconception will only cause one to misinterpret the function and purpose of our thoughts.

84. If we enable the mind to think, then the reality of thoughts becoming established ideas that proceed into considerable value is plausible and rational. The mind must be in agreement with the body and soul in order to reach the ultimate understanding of thought.

85. This unique conversion can epitomise the state of the mind gradually, within its optimal manifestation and productivity. When thoughts of ratiocination evolve, they empower the mind to create and process thoughts. This, in turn, makes those thoughts coherent in nature.

86. What thought provides is a methodical way to better understand the operations of the mind and how it functions properly in accordance with logic. When we understand logic, we can assume that we understand the system in which logic operates.

87. Without its structure, every action of logos is rendered inefficient, futile, and prone to dissolution that cannot be measured by rational thinking. There is nothing beneficial about irrationality, and it is best to remind ourselves of the capacity of the mind and the limitations of our thoughts when not congruent.

88. The entire period that involves the mind, our knowledge, logic, wisdom, intellect, consciousness and thought is imperative to a coherent cohesion that links the mind with its operations. Thoughts do not sustain themselves; they require the mind.

89. What then exemplifies the precept of logos is the genuine form of the continuum of philosophy we aspire to obtain from the Oracle. Once we realise that in life we must search for things compatible with our rationality, then we become conscious of thought.

90. There is a conclusive pattern to thought. When utilised effectively, we find the wonder of the mind expressed. This permits us to explore the boundaries of our mind and the creativity of our thoughts. Once achieved, we are enlightened with the seed of wisdom.

91. As human beings, we are constantly evolving in our uninhibited thoughts and ideas formulated. To understand ourselves, we must first discover who we are in essence and what represents us in our entirety. Only then can we attempt to rationalise the meaning of our processed thoughts.

92. Often, we ascribe the belief that the mind is totally empty without thoughts and that thoughts are non-essential in their nature. This contrasts with the teachings of philosophy. Some things we regard as relevant and others we understand as irrelevant.

93. To acknowledge this, we must note the fact that although we are conscious through instinct and intuition, it is thought that supplies the mind with immeasurable ideas and opinions that we value with substance attached to those thoughts.

94. We are not truly guaranteed a semblance of substance by logos if we do not apply any genuine practice of thought. Ergo, we require rational thought as the basis of our logic, and once we master the mechanism of the mind, we have mastered our thoughts.

95. Within the general concept of logos, we possess knowledge that sustains our mind, and it is a metonymy of philosophy that represents the actual core of belief. A belief sustained by the strength of the mind and the exploration of thought.

96. When we cogitate, we think. When we enact, we use a form of unmistakable expression that permits us to advance our thoughts coherently. Thoughts personify the manifestation of the underlying principles of philosophy.

97. Thought clearly indicates that we are in control of our awareness when the mind is lucid and transparent; but when not, and provoked erroneously, it becomes uncontrollable in its decisions and actions. We should not allow emotions to override our thoughts.

98. The transparent demonstration of that is the creativity we possess which permits us to enhance our ability to expand our thoughts knowingly, from the inmost depths of our minds that conceive those perceived thoughts conveyed.

99. From that developing mind, we can measure the actual amount of thoughts calculated and presented within our actions. What is important to the concept of thought is that we establish with the mind a purpose and function for thought.

100. The prevailing thought is that to understand philosophy in its true essence, we must immerse ourselves in thought. Ultimately, the elements of knowledge, wisdom, logic, intellect, consciousness and thought form the intrinsic concept of logos.
