Time and Free Will - Henry Bergson

[maybeiam]

You might find this awkward why im putting a philosophic post modern book here
but i encourage you to read Henry Bergson metaphysics Literature , which is impressive, rich, i find out myself aware with his frases for hours.

Matter and memory , creative evolution and introduction to metaphysics are also inspiring books from Bergson, already have them to read , but im still stuck in time and free will they are very challenging books i must say, i repeat sentences now and than and reflect on them for hours, how can a book be so strong?

I just read the beginning of this on Google books preview ... it's very steeped in the language of philosophy, that I personally no longer like as it requires thought/mind as an assumption.

I once read philosophy with absolute zeal, no longer.  It seems to me that the authors use real intensity in tackling these questions, but actually they are trapped in a prison that they are not even aware of.  They go round and round and round.  No answers will emerge - you can read a 100 philosophy books and you will be unchanged, except you have more ideas, like DVDs you can play in your head.

The prison is the prison of thought itself.

Take this phrase on page 7 :
   "Perhaps the difficulty of the problem lies ..." 
Perhaps ?  Perhaps ?  This kind of musing used to really entertain me.  Today i have no time for "perhaps".  I want to know, so I go in, myself, into meditation.  Perhaps is meaningless.



Have you read the Krishnamurti books :

"The Ending of Time", in which he discusses how you can end time
and
"Freedom From Thought", in which he discusses how you can be free of thought


(the titles of these 2 books make me sweat, because the implications of just the titles are immeasurable)

the outcome are healthy thoughts , nothing is misdirect about that
 the same way Buddha wrote something for you to practice, Bergson did it to, their approach to nature is similar,
you need to read a bit more to see that
