Just a remark: Socrates did not teach or suggested "awakening", esp. not in the sense of the term as it is used in modern philosophy. Socrates taught about reasoning, critical thinking, virtues, morality (ethics). His path was a quest of knowledge and wisdom. Plato's Cave Allegory was about turning illusions, imagination, opinions, ignorance and (sensory) appearances into knowledge.
Awakening is explained by Plato as inwardly turning towards the light:
“…the power to learn is present in everyone’s soul and that the instrument with which each learns is like an eye that cannot be turned around from darkness to light without turning the whole body.

This instrument cannot be turned around from that which is coming into being without turning the whole soul until it is able to study that which is and the brightest thing that is, namely, the one we call the good. Isn’t that right?
Then education is the craft concerned with doing this very thing, this turning around, and with how the soul can most easily and effectively be made to do it. It isn’t the craft of putting sight into the soul. Education takes for granted that sight is there but that it isn’t turned the right way or looking where it ought to look, and it tries to redirect it appropriately.”

By darkness and light Plato referred to ignorance and knowledge. As I already mentioned, Socrates was interested in, talked about and his quest was for knowledge. A person's consciousness/awareness, as it is involved in "awakening" was never discussed, not only in his epoch but not even two thousands years after him. (Even the Age of Enlightenment had nothing to do with enlightenment or awakening as it is used in modern philosophy, but it was all about reason, continuing Socrates' tradition!)

The outward man is our personality. It is indoctrinated to interact with the external world and is how we define ourselves.

The inner man is qualities and characteristics we are born with including our talents and tendencies.

It does happen that a 50 year old person can have a 5 year old essence within him. This is not unusual for a person dominated by the whims of our lower dark horse. The inner man is gradually starved out and Jesus referred to them when he said "let the dead bury their dead." A person can be active in the world yet dead inside.

Jacob Needleman wrote a book about this situation: "Money and the Meaning of Life" https://www.gurdjieff.org/needleman4.htm
Since the beginning of recorded history, man has been haunted by the intimation that he lives in a world of mere appearances. In every teaching and spiritual philosophy of the past we find the idea that whatever happens to us, for good or ill, is brought about by deeper forces behind the world that seems so real to us. We are further told that this real world is not accessible to the senses or understandable by the ordinary mind.

But, and this is a point that is not usually understood, we live in a world of inner appearances as well. We are not what we perceive ourselves to be. There is another identity, our real self, hidden behind the self that we believe ourselves to be.

It is only through awakening to this deeper self within that we can penetrate behind the veil of appearances and make contact with a truer world outside of ourselves. It is because we live on the surface of ourselves that we live on the surface of the greater world, never participating—except in rare moments which do not last and which are not understood—in the wholeness of reality.

It is this all-important second aspect of the ancient wisdom, the aspect that speaks of our inner world, that modern thought has been blind to. And the question about the meaning of life is inextricably linked to the need for contact with the real self beneath the surface of our everyday thoughts, emotions, and sensations.

Without this contact, the external world of appearances assumes for us the proportions of an overwhelmingly compelling force. We cannot see the real world because we are not in contact with the deeper powers of thought and sensing within ourselves that could perceive it. Because of this, it is inevitable that we experience the external world as the strongest force in our lives. This is the meaning and the origin of materialism.

The error, or, to use Christian language, the “sin” of materialism has at its root nothing to do with greed or possessiveness. Nor does it involve, at its root, some philosophical view about matter and spirit in their usual meanings. No, the error of materialism is an error of reality perception, based on lack of experiential contact with the inner world. What we know as greed and possessiveness, with their attendant traits of cruelty and human exploitation, are results of this ignorance of the inner world. We turn to the superficially perceived outer world for that which can only be obtained through deep access to the inner self. Materialism is not a “sin”; it is a mistake..............................
We know how the world nourishes and creates our personalities. But how do we nourish the inner man and allow it to develop so a 50 year old personality could reflect a 50 year old harmonized soul?

This is the essential problem for humanity as I understand it for a world that doesn't recognize the inner man and only seeks to indoctrinate personalities into what Plato called the Great Beast.
Nick, nice post. I think I get it. I also like it.

I read what you wrote a couple of times and scanned enough of the link to catch on to the theme.

There is critical information that is either missing or not included by either lack of perception or disagreement by Jacob imo.

What is missing is a working knowledge of the Red Queen theory, or perhaps he addresses it in later chapters.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Red_Q ... man_Nature

This is simply the root of all our topics, mixed in with survival is sex and evolution together with the need to be great. Being great at some level cycles back around the first drive of making babies.

It is easy to call out money as an issue and materialism. Materialism and money are similar they both are a form of power, showing or holding power is in line with the need to be great. Greatness comes from others, validation from others. “Wow that guy is rich”, “Wow let's get a date with the rich guy”. Ultimately power is being displayed for the number one driver. Of course, exceptions exist. I equate status and the need to be great. The need to be great should be a noble one, but I don't see that often except in fiction. For example superman, the very perfect example.

In humans, the sexual selection process involves the male showing the power of some sort, might be money, good looks, status, and a few others. Nothing compares emotionally for a healthy male to being constantly selected by almost all females.

Men that need external validation will chase money in addition to other materialistic things to achieve greatness, think peacock. It works very well, as looking for these things is built into female no matter how educated or trained, lizard-brain stuff.

How we get to harmony, is we accept what we are and nourish that. Then from the peace and stability of that position we expand and help others to do that same

Harmony of the soul is when the mind is satisfied and not hungry or thirsty for validation.

Think about a child and how they will call mom or dad to come see what they have done (validation). Most professional advertising knows how it works, just buy such and such car or clothes or house and good looking opposite sex members will be impressed and you will receive much validation. Perhaps the best example is the multi billion dollar cosmetics industry. Products that add no other value except an attempt to call attention to self, for validation.

Humans differ in the quality of their being. Some are more animal than others and others are more potentially human attracted to higher values. Many men are largely animal and women are encouraged to sacrifice their potential to be human in order to be "equal" in animal. Women of quality are attracted to men of a corresponding quality. The problem is that quantity is much more common than quality and those representing quality are considered weird and often damaged by the world.

There was a movie several years back called "Beauty and the Beast" In it, Gaston is your typical man animal and all the women loved him except Belle who was attracted to higher ideas. No amount of stature, muscles, and praise could impress Belle. As the move goes on Belle is captured by the Beast Who Belle eventually came to see his inner man and the fact that his inner man could be loved instead of the outer man, he was freed of the curse. He became what he was born to be.

The bottom line here is that in pursuit of quality, men and women need each other. The woman of inner quality inspires the man with inner potential to become himself and they in turn inhabit his castle. Of course this is politically incorrect for the world but not for those with experience with their tripartite soul.

Does the red queen only refer to quantity in the world or also with the limited and more rare concept of quality of human "being." The struggle for quantity vs the struggle for quality. The first thing to realize is that this struggle exists.

Nick, Red Queen is about survival and how it works. In my opinion, it supersedes everything else. Evolutionary war exists...

Something to ponder that is related but on the fringe and at the same time square in the center. Statistically, the overall height of men and women is in a certain range worldwide. On average most men and women end up pairing up and having some children. Short and tall men both get into relationships and have babies. We would expect that the height of men and women in the world would stay statistically the same in this situation. But it does not, over years the average height of men and women is increasing. Biologically this means that more tall men are successful in fathering children than short ones. Yet an equal number are in committed relations with children. How does that happen?

I love the story of Beauty and the Beast and it is a fine example. But...not really... Gaston yes, is the perfect example albeit with no class. Just as in the movie Gaston will usually win. We also do have Belle, a wonderful Belle who selected the beast over Gaston and was not even interested in Gaston. The beast is is really a Prince and anything but common. As a man or a beast, he has much power. The laws of evolution tell that he would be selected. Very often women select the bad boy because it is exciting. Beauty and the Beast is a fine example of the broken message that is taught to our boys. They grow up expecting to find Belle and that is fiction. At the same time, most are not a prince and most do not have the power of the beast. It is a wonderful story, I would trade much to live in such a world.

The biologically programming in humans will overrule quality, think about why the average height of humans is increasing when both short and tall men appear to have children. Probably worthy of another thread.

Only when men and boys understand that Belle is a myth will men and boys find peace and harmony.

The harmony of the soul makes it possible for a man to experience "Quality". By quality I mean being open to receive the higher influences that awaken our objective conscience. The tripartite soul is always involved the struggle to pull man down into fragmentation as well as up into wholeness. Gaston is a man who defines himself by the success of his fragmentation or by the out of balance soul. He is oblivious of higher values. Jacob Needleman wrote:
Our modern scientific ideal of objectivity requires that we try to separate our attention from the dominating influence that ordinary emotion exerts upon our perception and thought. But in this task of freeing oneself from the self-centered emotions in order to obtain objective knowledge, science has unknowingly prevented itself from seeing the function of genuine feeling hidden behind emotion. This quality of genuine feeling is in fact indispensable in acquiring objective, impartial knowledge of the real world both outside of oneself and within one’s self.

Without the sustained development of the function of genuine feeling, the objectivity which science offers is therefore both humanly superficial and empty of meaning. Real truth, real objectivity, is never superficial, never empty of meaning, never cold, never disconnected from an overall sense of the living Whole and the higher purposes within the Whole. Knowledge that comes only from the operation of the isolated intellectual function brings neither warmth nor light: neither the warmth of meaning nor the light of understanding. The impartiality which it settles for is actually a kind of mirage, based as it is on the activity of merely one part of the whole human mind, namely, thought disconnected from feeling. Impartial knowledge requires the activity of all parts of the human mind, each part contributing its specific energy and quality of perception. That is the very definition of the word “impartial”: that is, knowledge that is not partial, not the product of only one part of the whole human mind.
Science accepts the relative value of knowledge. A person who has only the knowledge of addition and subtraction does not have the value or ability to use the value of calculus.

Emotions are really corrupted feelings which guide our earthly lives but our dependence on them deny our ability to experience "feelings" or how they connect us with the wholeness of existence. Gaston was motivated by emotions while Belle was attracted to the quality of Feelings..

Do such women of quality exist in the world who have transcended the animal attraction to emotions? Boys who are seekers of truth and quality are in for a grave disappointment if they never meet a woman who has transcended emotional justification in order to experience objective feelings.

A woman with a good behind serves one purpose and is attractive to a lot of men. A woman capable of feelings serves a greater purpose which the Gaston types will seek to corrupt. If she is lucky she learns how to avoid them and may meet a man able give the quality of consciousness to her which her soul craves. In this way they become one.

Again, I wish it was like that. I don't think so.

Emotions are triggered by physical changes in our body and in turn, cause physical changes.

As men, we often struggle to find a reality that is as we would like it to be. We (well I can speak for myself only perhaps) become angry when it can not be found. Accepting the true reality vs the one we would like is on the path to experiencing harmony of the soul.

Evolutionary competition rules all life on earth. As some species become extinct and new ones develop the process continues. It is interesting that the more successful one uses a sexual, two-member mechanism. Those types became dominant because the mechanism is more flexible and successful for evolving the species to win. Humans have done very well since becoming humans and apparently well up and into that path.

The reason it works so well is that deep in the core of the female is programming that causes the success. Two primary goals that are processed SEPARATELY. The first one is to secure provisioning so that a child will be safe and cared for, the second one is to secure the very best genetic breeder for a father. These do not need to be the same man and often are not. Only man's attempts at religion, and culture using all sorts of tools such as marriage and shaming cause women to also breed with the provider. It is not a conscious choice and those that understand will never hate women, as we do not hate something for following its programming. When and if we understand we can manage ourselves and our personal space to not be affected and thus remove the single if not the only blocking for harmony. Biology is at the core, the very core.

Until man can manage and deal with this reality harmony will be elusive because a man like a woman is also a sexual creature that has a programming to replicate. Basically, man wants to breed with any and any time, we choose to live by codes that stop us or we don't have the ability to obtain a female, otherwise, we do so.

All of the good and very good philosophy and religion and other tools to achieve harmony are good, the biology issue has to be either addressed and accepted or an attempt to ignore and hide from it.

Nick, could you describe more the details of the higher influence, how we would/do perceive it and interact with it?

“The sea is not less beautiful to our eye because we know that sometimes ships sink in it. On the contrary, it is more beautiful still. If the sea modified the movement of its waves to spare a boat, it would be a being possessing discernment and choice, and not this fluid that is perfectly obedient to all external pressures. It is this perfect obedience that is its beauty.”

“All the horrors that are produced in this world are like the folds imprinted on the waves by gravity. This is why they contain beauty. Sometimes a poem, like the Iliad, renders this beauty.”

“Man can never escape obedience to God. A creature cannot not obey. The only choice offered to man as an intelligent and free creature, is to desire obedience or not to desire it. If he does not desire it, he perpetually obeys nevertheless, as a thing subject to mechanical necessity. If he does desire obedience, he remains subject to mechanical necessity, but a new necessity is added on, a necessity constituted by the laws that are proper to supernatural things. Certain actions become impossible for him, while others happen through him, sometimes despite him.”
Excerpt from: Thoughts without order concerning the love of God, in an essay entitled L'amour de Dieu et le malheur (The Love of God and affliction). Simone Weil

Nick, could you describe more the details of the higher influence, how we would/do perceive it and interact with it?
Unlike the rest of organic life on earth, Man is dual natured. His animal side arose from the earth and is part of the process of mechanical necessity Simone referred to. Man also has a higher conscious side which descended from above. Together they create the great struggle between above and below. Our mechanical nature has been corrupted. It has adopted habits Which justify its corruption. However, Man also has a conscious part within our emotions sometimes referred to as the seed of the soul. This seed can also mature in quality and a person becomes more conscious of its relationship with its origin and not just a creature of earthly reaction. The goal of Platonic education is primarily to remember what has been forgotten rather than learning something new. If you remember Diotima's Ladder of Love. it refers to remembering what has been forgotten.

Do people differ in conscious quality which is an esoteric idea, or is everybody the same which is a modern secular idea? Can some people "remember" or are all people destined to be indoctrinated into a mechanical necessity which like the rest of organic life, only serves the purposes of our earth.

Hello! Really enjoying the thread.

When Plato designs his city and theorises how to achieve justice there, he suggests that it could only ever be ruled by philosophers because they have the access to the perfect knowledge of the forms ie. the perfect form of justice etc. that they then enact in the city.

In the same way in the individual, I think Plato believes we need to undergo a kind of education/ training where we strive towards virtues that will harmonise these parts of the soul. However, with the understanding that only a philosopher can gain the knowledge of the realm of forms, is it only the philosopher (whatever this might mean to Plato) that can train others in the pursuit of this harmony? If this is so, can individuals only ever achieve an imperfect version of harmonisation (inner justice) because they cannot ever access knowledge of the forms as the philosopher does? As it relates to the allegory of the cave, it is only the philosopher that leads the man out of the cave and tries to educate others.

I suppose then does this affect how we think of 'non-philosopher' individuals in regards to justice? Do all non-philosopher individuals have the same essential desire to achieve this "imperfect" (ie. non-perfect-form version) of justice? Equally, what exactly defines the 'philosopher'. Is a philosopher's ability to reach 'the Good' merely the propensity of a mind that has been created via their own rigorous education and does this mean anyone can be a philosopher?

Sophie

Only a real philosopher, or one who has experienced the forms, is capable of experiencing absolute truth. All others express opinions. My guess is that only certain collective souls are capable of experiencing truth. it isn't because they have learned anything new but rather through a certain quality of education, have remembered what has been forgotten: anamnesis. Plato describes phony teachers of philosophy or the Sophists.
"If men learn this, it will implant forgetfulness in their souls; they will cease to exercise memory because they rely on that which is written, calling things to remembrance no longer from within themselves, but by means of external marks. What you have discovered is a recipe not for memory, but for reminder. And it is no true wisdom that you offer your disciples, but only its semblance, for by telling them of many things without teaching them you will make them seem to know much, while for the most part they know nothing, and as men filled, not with wisdom, but with the conceit of wisdom, they will be a burden to their fellows." ― Plato, Phaedrus
Yet IMO we need this minority who have left Plato's cave, experienced the forms, and returned to the cave to help in the awakening of humanity. Simone weil explains why

https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/questionofgod/voices/weil.html
Draft for a Statement of Human Obligation
Profession of Faith

There is a reality outside the world, that is to say, outside space and time, outside man's mental universe, outside any sphere whatsoever that is accessible to human faculties.

Corresponding to this reality, at the centre of the human heart, is the longing for an absolute good, a longing which is always there and is never appeased by any object in this world.

Another terrestrial manifestation of this reality lies in the absurd and insoluble contradictions which are always the terminus of human thought when it moves exclusively in this world.

Just as the reality of this world is the sole foundation of facts, so that other reality is the sole foundation of good.

That reality is the unique source of all the good that can exist in this world: that is to say, all beauty, all truth, all justice, all legitimacy, all order, and all human behaviour that is mindful of obligations.

Those minds whose attention and love are turned towards that reality are the sole intermediary through which good can descend from there and come among men.

Although it is beyond the reach of any human faculties, man has the power of turning his attention and love towards it.
We can all seek help from above but my guess is that only the older souls can remember what has been forgotten and a certain quality of education makes anamnesis and the experience of the forms possible

If you track down the word soul it has a lot to tell you. There is the key of Sol in music, soul sounds like sole meaning alone, and the latin word is anima which comes from the Greek word anemos, meaning wind. In greek the word is psyche which also means psycha of the bread/the crumps of the bread. It is a very complicated word, and a very complicated concept, but i wouldn't call it that either. It defies definition in so many ways. Then it is also the word equanimous or equanimity meaning calm or harmoniousness of the anima. Equus is latin for horse. Also the word equal. In greek the word for horse is alogo, meaning what is without logos or reason. Is it eventually the attribute of the soul to defy reason or be beyond logos that frees it, lets it go and (un)shapes it? This is an interesting line of inquiry and looking into word meanings, traditions and myths always helps. There is also the myth of Eros and Psyche with the known sculpture. Am sure there are others.
