Four Page Letter–Perspectival Distortions and in the Existence of Sensible Qualities

 

People are brainwashed by the media, but ignore God and do not practice the love of God. However, a big part of faith is trusting God when one does not understand why things happen the way they do. The real original and permanent existence of things is archetypal, being ideas in mente Divina, and our ideas of copies of them. You know that feeling you get when someone spends years hearting your heart over and over and you feel the beating slow down and get deeper, until eventually there is a sharp pain in your chest that does not seem to go away and you can feel it when you move, laugh, or breathe? I do not know what it is yet, but am going to find out soon enough. It has been lingering for a few weeks. Humans perceive ideas vary in accordance with their sense organs, and their ideas vary in accordance with their position, condition, but God does not have sense organs. Furthermore, some ideas, for example, those of heat and cold and sensation of smell and taste—are inseparable from sensation of pain and pleasure, but God is impassible, i.e., not subjected to feeling of emotions; hence he cannot be supposed to perceive ideas of this nature. The things one perceives they or their archetypes, must, since ode does not case them, have an existence outside one’s mind. The ideas in God’s mind are not the same ideas as those in the minds of embodied percipients.  #RandolphHarris 1 of 9

 

 

I have the honour to be known unto you, the many delightful how I have passed in your aggregable and improving conversation, have afforded me the opportunity of discovering in you many excellent qualities, which a once fill me with admiration and esteem. That one at those years, and in those circumstances of wealth and greatness, should continue to proof against the charms of luxury, and those criminal pleasures, so fashionable and predominant in the age we live. That he should preserve a sweet and modest behaviour, free from that insolent and assuming air, so familiar to those who are placed above the ordinary rank of men. That he should manage a great fortune with that prudence and inspection, and at the same time, expend it with that generosity and nobleness of mind, as to shew himself equally remote, from a sordid parsimony, and a lavish, inconsiderate profusion of the good things he is intrusted with. This, surely, were admirable and praise-worthy. However, that he should moreover by an impartial exercise of his reason, and constant perusal of the sacred scriptures, endeavour to attain a right notion of the principles of natural and revealed humanity.  #RandolphHarris 2 of 9

We live in a World were gays can get married and little boys have been brainwashed to think they are girls in the wrong body. A lot of propaganda has been taken as truth and people assume and use social media to spy and people and assume they know what is going on in their lives, but do not face the realities in from of them. You have to realize that the media does brainwash people, you hear things over and over on TV and start to believe it is true. For instance, a little girl was recently on TV saying she checked something off of her bucket list. The term “bucket list” is an idiom which is defined as a list of things to do before you die or kick the bucket. This term bucket list became really popular in 2007 when the film “The Bucket List” came out. It is a movie about two terminally ill men that escape from a cancer ward with a wish list of things to do before they die. The eight-year-old girl that I was speaking of is not terminally ill, but already has a bucket list because she does not understand what it is, and because she has heard the term so much, she thinks it is normal for kids to have a bucket list instead of goals, dreams, or aspirations. So, it is also possible that the little boy who believes he is in the wrong body is also brainwashed.  #RandolphHarris 3 of 9

A month after joining the Cub Scouts, a transgender boy in Secaucus, New Jersey USA was kicked out of his Cub Scout’s group because he is not a natural born male. After his mother, Kristie Maldonado, allowed her daughter to cut her hair short and dress as a boy, Joe Maldonado, a girl, came out as a boy and signed up to be in an all-boys group. When other parents found out that Joe had a gender identity issue, they wanted the child removed for the Cub Scouts because he is not a real boy, he does not have a penis. And that is understandable. It is possible that Joe is just brainwashed by the media because World famous men are coming out and saying they are women and having gender reassignments. After hearing the cliché “I was trapped in the wrong body,” so frequently, some kids may start to believe it is true. The thing is children are not mature enough to make decisions about sexuality nor gender and it may just be a phase they are going through. I have friends who were gay when they were teens, but are not married to women and have families. And conversely, I know some men who were heterosexual and married and had children and are now moderate to flamboyant homosexuals.  #RandolphHarris 4 of 9

 

Nonetheless, I do believe that transgender people are human and do have a voice and should be protected, but it is something that they need to do after they are adults because they may find out that they are confused and change their minds. I have also seen a group of people, who seem to have mental issues, spend over a decade calling a young man, who is a natural born man, a girl, and the rumors became so pervasive that it led to that young man getting seriously injured and physically forced into a situation. And everyone who sees he can tell that he is a guy, but this group of mentally ill adults have an agenda. Nonetheless, I recently watched an episode of “Law and Order” and there was this transgender man, who dressed as a girl, and actually really looked like a girl. Had long hair and a pretty typical girl’s body, with the thin legs, and thin frame. That transgender person was called Eva (I think, but am not certain), and fell in love with a rapper and they were dating on the down low, but this rappers manager her the person called Eva beat to death because they rapper was about to become a major celebrity and would have ruined his image to be dating a transgender person. And I think that aspect is sad because they individual known as Eva was actually in the wrong body and killed because of it.  #RandolphHarris 5 of 9

Some people are confused, others are brainwashed, some are slandered, and many know who they are as people. I just wonder what kind of World is it that we live in where people are paid to go to work and slander an individual and put that person’s life in danger and not get fired or arrested for their crimes? A lot of the people I am around are older than myself and very immature, it is almost like they think life is some kind of game and they are constantly running around acting and acting out and that seems to be the normal thing to do, in this community, for that group of people. They do not seem to understand that they are hysterical and all suffer from a mental illness. Could you imagine being trapped in a situation like that? It is not a common state of mind in the community, it is just a group of people in the media and local government and community have been terrorizing an individual and think it is fun, and others are well aware of it. However, the group of people think the rumors they are spreading is a big secret and refuse to acknowledge the crimes they have commit or what they are doing wrong. Perhaps someday law enforcement will figure out what is going on and gather enough evidence and prosecute them. Being robbed of ten years of your life and being slandered and injured is not fun.  #RandolphHarris 6 of 9

 

 Nonetheless, other than that pack of maniacs, the community and the individual are actually pretty normal. The perceptible, therefore, is limited to the mind-dependent, and, the very notion of something that might be perceived, but is not, is unacceptable. Whatever is not being actually perceived by humans beings, but is only perceptible by them, must be an object of perception by some other spirit. Now some of our ideas, namely, ideas of imagination, we ourselves produce, but others, the ideas of sense, come to us without our willing them. There is therefore some other will or spirit that produced them. That this is God may be concluded from the regular order in which these ideas come to us. The knowledge we have of God is analogous to the knowledge we have of others people. Since humans are active spirits, we do not have ideas of them, but only of their expressions, words, and bodily movements. Though these we recognize them as possessors of mind and wills like those we know ourselves to have. Similarly, God reveals himself to us in the order of nature every thing we see, hear, feel, or in any wise perceived by sense, being a sign or effect of the Power of God.  The ideas in the minds of human beings are caused in them by God and sustained by him when they are not perceiving them. I believe that is why some people are able to invent airplanes, space ships, and cars.  #RandolphHarris 7 of 9

Regularly recurring groups of ideas are called bodies, and the ideas that form them are arbitrarily connected together and might have been connected quite differently. Thus, there is no natural necessity or internal reason about the laws of nature, but the regular sequences of ideas reveal to us a single infinite being who orders things for our benefit. Active spirits and passive ideas are of different natures. The mind is not blue because the idea of blue is in it, nor is the mind extended because it has an idea of extension. Ideas are neither parts nor properties of minds. Ideas are neither parts nor properties of minds. The relationship is sui generis (of its own kind), for sensible qualities are in the mind only as they are perceived by it, that is, not by way of mode or attribute, but only be the way of idea. I am on the side of common sense against the skeptics, and we should expect the ideas that continue to exist in God’s mind to be identical with those that had been in the minds of the embodied finite spirits who had formerly perceived them. God knows or hath ideas are not conveyed to him by sense organs, as ours are.  #RandolphHarris 8 of 9

 The ideas that God perceives are not identical with the ideas that embodied finite spirits perceive. What we directly perceive are copies or representatives of divine originals, the direct, unmediated perception of common sense, in place of the representative and skeptical theory of the philosophers and scientists, cannot be substantiated. The material substance is an impossibility because it is held to exist apart from the mind, whereas the archetypes in the divine mind are obviously inseparable from God’s knowledge of them. People often make false judgments when they are not fully enlightened or only see what they want to see. The case of the oar, for example, it looks bent in the water when in fact it is straight, we go wrong only if we mistakenly infer that it will look bent when out of the water. There is something seen to be straight, something else seen to be crooked, and something else again felt to be straight. We go wrong only when we expect that when we see something crooked we shall feel something crooked. However, this reinforces the criticism we have already mentioned, that the ideas perceived by finite spirits with sense organs are different from, and representative of, the ideas in the mind of God. Many people are farther from common sense and closer to criticizing than they are ready to admit.  The Universe is a concrete unity in which an infinite mind is manifesting itself.  #RandolphHarris 9 of 9
