Rene Descartes

Hi disliked two things the most: the indecisiveness and the melancholic mood.

You shall not run out of the subjects of fear, because by doing so you will carry out the fear along with you, whereas facing them (i.e. the subjects of fear) with the open sword, you'll find out that they are just the air and the shadows.

Renatus (meaning new born) Cartesius. The God is innocent, we are free. Ergo cogito, ergo sum.

The trust (in God) has no other foundations (reasons) except itself. The one who cannot dear to question everything deep to the end, cannot trust. The merit of freedom and thought is the only merit (i.e. the freedom of taking one way or another).

The man is a medium between God and nothingness. I'm thinking = I'm existing (while thinking).

What we have are only the symbols, such as 'I, myself', 'God', but for a moment we can jump into the total up-to-date world, where everything is present here and now (i.e. the world of the continuous actions).

The truly real thoughts are genuine. One needs to be in thought, stay in thought. The thoughts are in the world, they stay in the world, i.e. they have the ontological dimension, the time span of which differs from the time span of our real psychological life. In order to recognize the idea ahead, i.e. to select it as a solution to the problem or an answer to the question, I need to recognize it as the idea for that purpose.

The in-born ideas are emerged when one is striving, holding up. Among these is the idea of the omnipotent intelligence called God. We cannot increase or grow our knowledge arbitrary, nor by will. Absolute intelligence has no sense. The procedure of though expression is in a sense a Descartes' procedure of the amplification, procedure of holding up.

By knowing myself for knowing, say, A, I can conclude, that I know A. I know myself before I know the world. The poems get written not by the ideas but by the words. In the beginning there was the word, God had the word, the word was God. This is a generating space, the space of resonance.

There is no such thing as an internal freedom, there is just a freedom. The first act is undefined. Only the second step, or the reproduction level, is where the things are taking shape.
During the first act there happened the empiricism of the world, let's call this an atom, or a unit of mind. There may occur the atoms as big as the world.
