Personally written wisdom sayings

Chat about anything your heart desires here, just be civil. Factual or scientific questions about philosophy go here (e.g. "When was Socrates born?"), and so most homework help questions belong here. Note, posts in the off-topic section will not increase new members post counts. This includes the introductions and feedback sections.

You can tell a mans future by the company he keeps. Social influence is a powerful thing.

Everything I write is not my wisdom -- all that is written is not familiar with me, nor am I familiar with what is written -- we both exist as cosmic ghosts reaching out of the metaphysical, to explore the physical, via body and symbol.

Some say attitude determines altitude - but sometimes a little altitude can enhance the attitude.

Engaging with a diverse set of friends usually lends well to helping exercising and learning of different aspects of your nature.

Yet not all teachers perform faithfully and not all interactions produce a productive sort of synergy.

Thanks again to all participants of this topic, it is fun to read your wise thoughts.

If I mind my own business, I cannot see nor help my fellow humans.

I have so many thoughts, and maybe great thoughts, that I would like to express, but all of them sounds very stupid, and it seems it will be very dangerous to express those thoughts, really.

But I think, this is the best place to express all those stupid looking, but IMO somewhere honest thoughts. Otherwise I will not get any chance to express those stupid but real thoughts. So lets start right now.

Universe is a machine which is designed to hide the reality of consciousness and strongly opposes the search of consciousness's reality.

Anybody cannot understand consciousness by themselves unless they believe in God, as well as Devil.

So here we go with my thoughts.
Get the facts, or the facts will get you. And when you get them, get them right, or they will get you wrong.” ― Thomas Fuller
