Great series. I think one of the main issues with the cave that you missed mentioning though, is that the prisoner is *dragged* up the staircase and into the light (the challenge of learning can be painful). Great work. -cheers

yup! and dont forget to mention that the prisoner that break loose first saw the fire behind him, and the light causes pain to his eyes because he had never seen a light since he has been living in the shadow. he then went back and sit to watch the shadows (his comfort zone) again.

There's a few holes in this allegory of course. The biggest one being that if the prisoners were chained for life their limbs would've atrophied to the point of uselessness. So the freed prisoner's gonna have a hell of a time getting about once he's been dragged out of the cave. Then there's the matter of the prisoners' basic needs like eating and - well you know what happens a few hours after you eat or drink. These needs would require attendants that the prisoners would naturally be curious about. "Who are these beings?" "Are they not the same as us?" "Where do they go when we can't see them?" ect. Makes me wonder if Plato got annoyed by the few ppl smart enough to find these holes persistently asking questions. 😅

Stop watching mainstream media mate. Anything that mainstream tries to tell you is wrong.... you should explore and make up your own mind. Identify where mainstream tries to direct public opinion and especially when they outright dismiss things. We are in the last days of freedom right now. Within years there won’t be any resources available to explore alternative thinking.

Could it be, that the physical world, as the cave wall in the allegory, is also responding to and are changing depending on what shadows or maybe what other information which are are being cast on it, and that some of these impressions will last longer than others, like for instance when an intelligent design of DNA code may spread and be prolonged much more than other impressions?

Reminds me of those who are chained to religion. Knowledge starts with Doubt, not received pseudo-knowledge.
@calebayala5686
4 жыл бұрын
Why is a man chained because he follows religion? Maybe he believes that he is enlightened and you are not. Who are you to say what a man's reality is supposed to be? This is exactly what Plato was trying to say, the greater reality is out their for the man to discover. When he discovers it, he will know the greater reality. The greater reality is different for each man, and that wisdom comes to a select few who are open to learning. I am a Christian myself and I believe that the greater reality is that Heaven is my home and I am not home yet, Earth is just a temporary place for me to live until my father brings me home. You said that knowledge starts with doubt, but it does not. Knowledge and wisdom are different things. You say knowledge, but what Plato is referring to is wisdom. True wisdom, at least according to me, comes from Yahwey alone. To obtain this wisdom you grow in relationship with him and eagerly seek and ask for his wisdom. I don't care what you do, this is a free country, but I felt like this needed to be said.

That's a very good Allegory. What is often overlooked is the fact that it doesn't address the way in which someone enlightened can overcome the mindsets of those who can be compared to the inhabitants of the cave. It highlights the eternal problem that philosophers have in trying to reach out to people, often with ineffective strategies to overcome the "living in a cave" mindset. It also runs counter to the questionable truths that religious missionaries tried to inflict on unbelievers, especially people inhabiting newly discovered lands.

The body has no life of itself. Thought has no life of itself. By themselves, they are inert. They are activated by life. Life is the only Being. What is life? What is consciousness? When activated by life, thought creates the idea "I", a simulacrum of Being. Because thought is limited, the simulacrum, the representation, is limited, insufficient. Consciousness, which is life, cannot be measured - it is infinite, unknowable. Because life is infinite, the simulacrum, by reflection, wants to be complete too. So, it goes after power, position, fortune, and all the rest of it, never reaching completeness. In this ambition, it creates division, competition, wars and destruction. In this movement of becoming, the simulacrum has continuity, with all its miseries. Do I depend on thought to be alive and conscious? Who or what am I? Can I measure who or what I am? With which instrument? Am I not the unknowable, the infinite, the timeless?

The Matrix isn’t just an exciting sci-fi/fantasy action/adventure movie. The Matrix is a very serious philosophical discussion of the nature of reality. The Matrix is very much in the tradition of Plato’s Allegory of the Cave. The question "what is real" can now be answered scientifically in terms of modern physics. The answer of course is nothing is real. See the Science and Nonduality website: scienceandnonduality.wordpress.com/2020/05/18/all-movies-are-a-footnote-to-the-matrix/ or read the PDF document: scienceandnonduality.files.wordpress.com/2020/05/all-movies-are-a-footnote-to-the-matrix-2.pdf
