The Gist in Schopenhauerian Terms by EwokABdevito Lyrics
The fourfold root of the principle of sufficient reason is this (Schopenhauer developed his ideas about space and time from reading the Vedas with Goethe!):
Earth: Empirical world; every "thing-in-itself",
Water: Understanding; The passive pool of memory, memory we are aware of, and memory we are not.
Fire: Reason; Interacts with the passive pool of memory innumerable times in any given second. The reason uses the pool of understanding to create new scenarios. Reason is active, understanding is passive; they are superimposed.
Air: Will; spirit
SUFFICIENT REASON ONE TIME REMOVED:
Earth = Space
Air = Time
Water + Fire = Cause and effectSUFFICIENT REASON TWO TIMES REMOVED ( transformed into a method):
Earth: A human being
Water: Master Table
"Pull Strip" is where Water + Fire meet.
Fire: Semantic Staff
Air: Will... the emergent resultTwo times removed is in Schopenhauerian terms "double representation"
Double representation is the plane of magic; it is the mode under which the mind operates. What is the mind? A representation of a representation.
