Aristotle and True Happiness
By Robert Baird Aristotle and The Secretum Secretorum: Perhaps I harp on the fact that Aristotle is not presented to people as an alchemist, in most academic circles. Maybe I see more in this fact than is really at work. The fact that this is also true with Newton, Da Vinci, Aquinas and all so many others is probably just co-incidence you might say. I know it is part of a serious issue far beyond the imagining of most conspiracy theorists and those who attack sincere or deluded people who seek answers and end up being called conspiracists by the sheople who often participate in Crusades against loving people like the Cathars whose whole culture was founded on alchemy. I know that the chance of human life on earth surviving past the 21st Century is very small. I know many readers of mine who have heard Stephen Hawking say this as he promotes space colonization will understand it is not a case of paranoia. But I also know the great majority of people will continue to allow the corruption of means and materialistic ethics as long as they are what they might call happy. MAGIAN TEACHINGS NOT UNDERSTOOD: What combination of misunderstanding and outright lies it is when university professors teach their students about Aristotle? I will never know an answer that can completely state the case, I am sure. There are probably some real students of the sages who teach and who choose not to rock the boat or expose the true teachings. There are probably some people who design the curricula and who are part of an hegemony that seeks only to offer a glimpse that sincere and dedicated students will follow through upon. Mostly it is probably only a case of doing what makes for personal financial or social gain; but that gain is established according to the wishes of some very powerful people, I suggest. Here is a brief reply of mine to a person who asks me many questions just as Socrates would want all of us to do. This person found a professorial treatment of Aristotles Nicomachean Ethics and I provide a link to the whole matter for the interested reader who is willing to really study it. He asks:Question: Does Aristotle’s view of friendship seem self-centered? Explain. {Yes, because he knew that PURPOSE leads to higher rewards than just what occurs in the material world. He knew that giving for the sake of return was not giving and that if you take with no integrity you will owe a karmic debt.} Question: Do you agree, more or less, with Aristotle’s listing of the components of happiness? {This guy is a liar or stupid. Aristotle’s pursuit of happiness includes the Greater Good and RIGHT THOUGHT = RIGHT ACTION which is basic to all alchemists and the academics deny him that actual title.} Question: Do you agree that happiness is the end or purpose of life? {Yes, if you understand it - which these assholes do not.} Question: Given this “recipe” for happiness, was Socrates happy? Discuss. {He would like to differentiate Socrates because Socrates was more blunt about the discipline and questioning of society whereas Aristotle was willing to write in detail about the various aspects and degrees of it.} (2) 2) http://www.fred.net/tzaka/aristot2.html brings us a detailed study of Nicomachean Ethics and Aristotle by the normal academic.
