Simple Plan

*Another attempt at Philosophy; feeble as I am

This dead guy who once said "wisest is he who knows he does not know" is one of the greatest minds who ever lived on this planet.

It was an honest remark by him. It was no mystical or rethorical statement. It was the truth. He, like the other thinkers who came before and after him, like Socrates, Plato, Nicolas of Cusa, the Egyptians even, Johannes Kepler oddly, in trying to investigate the nature of finite things in this world, all, in the end, learned best that the more you know of the universe, the more questions who have in your mind.

Using this distinct capability that only man was endowed with - reason - there is this inherent drive of man to know (this passion for knowledge that has been bastardized by a consumer-culture and sex-rock-drug counterculture). Now of course, the finite will not be able to completely understand the infinite. The process these philosophers had gone through in trying to "master the universe" only ultimatley led them to the better realization that a higher being - a creator if you will - is indeed the source of everything.

This realization though did not stop them from achieving the genius and greatness in them. Because in the process, they learned and knew what their purpose was as human beings, distinct from all other creatures, who have this unique proportionality with God and the universe.

The Egyptians investigated this proportionality and learned from the stars and heavenly bodies that there indeed lays a "divine proportionality" that keeps everything in order holding true the notion that nothing happens by accident. This same realization presented the Egyptians with a "universal physical principle" to work on in trying to establish their connection with this ultimate infinite source of all things, and their purpose on this earth.

Thanks for reading. Till next time.
