Reading A Critique of Pure Reason made me realize, for the first time, that life might be fulfilling without sex. Music and philosophy can be better. It really might be worth it to give up sex for music and philosophy.

you need to have a solid grasp on the fact that even in reading, you are merely observing your own cognition; if you want this dressed in Western aesthetic for the satiation of your heuristically based trust, just look at the Aristotle quote in the op of another thread on here rn. Knowing yourself is the antecedent of even realising the Word, and whenever you are listening to another, you are also observing yourself observing that thought, that sound.

To make this more pertinent and draw a conclusion: most often those who go to books and gurus for help, have the primary issue of disregarding their own mind! You must realise that whatever you learn and recognise as truth in another, in God, is recognised through you.

In order to gain anything from books, you must be receptive first to who you are, and not using them to reinvent what is (you) but instead illuminate. Reinvention is possible, but only as transformation which requires you to be clear about seeing yourself through and in, the wisdom of another.

[Anonymous No.15705364]

you are not going to find anything but yourself, in the truth. There are a thousand ways that it can be mediated, but it's all you.

[Anonymous No.15705383]

Maybe not the right thread to post this.

My girfriend bought me some books for my name day: Leviathan, mediations by marcus aurelious, brave new world , 1984 , animal farm, some nietche self help quotes and republic by plato.

Where do i start?

[Anonymous No.15706295]

>>15705383
Animal Farm > 1984 > Brave New World > Meditations > Republic > Leviathan

Read the self help quotes whenever.

Did you even read what post I was replying to?

[Anonymous No.15707153]

You need to understand yourself and your desires.

I would recommend signing up for a free Audible account and listening to the Great Courses Mind - Body Philosophy.

For reading - double up on Man and His Symbols by Carl Jung for non-fiction and The Brothers Karamazov by Dostoevsky.

Jung tackles development, and becoming a full person, which will help you with your quarter life crisis. Dostoevsky tackles spiritualism and grappling with existentialism.

In terms of symbolism and meaning in art, I'd say Dante's Inferno is a great work after to enjoy.

In terms of other takes on existentialism, there is Shakespeare's Hamlet (Bloom's guidance is nice here, or for Dante), or Nietzsche's work. I'd recommend Beyond Good and Evil above This Spoke because it is more straight forward.
