Practical Philosophy

Practical Philosophy is all about turning ideas into action. Philosophy itself is about thought, discussion and coming up with ideas. Science used to be called ‘natural philosophy’ concerning itself primarily with material things rather than ‘pure thought’ or perhaps ‘spiritual’ things while mathematics is the ‘philosophy’ of numbers.
There are applications for maths and science which can be put into practice by engineers but with philosophy, which is more the mind, the spirit, and the ‘why’ of things its more difficult.
Science struggles to figure out how the mind works or why it does what it does – they can observe but that’s about as far as ‘scientific understanding’ of the mind gets. Compare this with the heart or the digestive system – how they work and why and what they do is well understood, although it did take quite a long while for the scientists to figure it out. We’ve only really known how the body works for the past 500 years or so – and we don’t know it all yet.
We can ‘observe’ or perhaps ‘feel’ what’s going on with our mind and spirit, we’re not really sure what’s happening, we have some knowledge but very little real understanding and I’m thinking here on behalf of ‘most’ people. Life Mastery gives you a much better understanding bringing together the knowledge and practice of people who have studied and worked in the area of the relationship between mind, body, spirit, soul and Source (the Universe) over the centuries.
You and I have this knowledge and understanding, all of it. It’s just that over the millennia ‘we’ as a ‘race’ have ‘lost’ it, or more correctly, locked it away in preference to those concepts and realities we can understand more easily, and forgotten where we put the ‘original’ knowledge and understanding – you know how it is when we put something ‘somewhere safe’!
Gradually these understanding and powers are being ‘unlocked’, rediscovered, and put into practice. Hundred of ‘modalities’ and techniques have been developed – or remembered – in the last couple of centuries and the rate of their emergence in to the public domain is growing. The Freedom Academy and Life Mastery introduce you to some of these, what they are, how they work, how they fit together, and to some of the visionaries, practitioners, healers and teachers coaches and mentors who are actively bringing them out in the open.
There is resistance to this from vested interests who want power and control over others. What you learn here may be considered anything from ‘weird’ to ‘evil’ or ‘the work of the devil’ (as I have heard yoga and reiki described), by those who don’t understand or want to repress true knowledge of ourselves, what we are capable of, and our place in the Universe. Truth is always a threat to some people, but truth is what the Freedom Academy is all about. Truth brings freedom but we need to know how to understand and use it.
