<span style="font-size:13.999999999999998pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Plato’s *unforgetting* suggests there’s a pre-existent knowledge - of biblical proportions - predating the bible (which was supposedly written in 300-100BC. <span id="bkmrk-a-knowledge--that-wa" style="font-size:13.999999999999998pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"> A knowledge- that was always there as an essence. It’s the same concept as the knowledge tree - with knowledge as an pre-existent essence - from which all existence is spawned.</span> Spawn being the key word. It's pre-determined in terms of the boundaries, but doesn't: determine the exact path your soul-body entwinement will take on it’s journey - that’s the probability field. Severe impacts/trauma will take you on </span>

<span style="font-size:13.999999999999998pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Plato’s position is very similar to reincarnation - individuals retain a certain soul - which leaves the body upon dying - then comes back into the body of another organism in the next-life &amp; so on, unless you reach such a high level in this life that when you die, you don’t come back, you reside amongst the Gods, which is the same as Nirvana</span>

<span style="font-size:13.999999999999998pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">So how does the soul thing work, according to Plato? It infinitely exists as a spiritual, but still individual entity, the sum of its bodily incarnations, which, upon death, enter/return unto the spiritual world for an indeterminate period of time, where the *egg* of *desire to exist* is re-fertilized by the soul. Whereupon it is re-born back to the bodily/manifest world.</span>

<span style="font-size:13.999999999999998pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">I'm down with Socrates/Plato thinking, i've not seen anything to surpass it on the fundamental level of how do we exist? What i don't fully get - is: Is it always your soul that gets reborn? You go back into the spiritual world, which is bigger than the individual, but your soul somehow retains it's individual identity within that spiritual everything/everywhere essence? In that case it's like a judgement from the essence/God (it's amazing, but not amazing how many things were stolen by Christianity from The Greats). Then a re-introduction to to the manifest world. But still the same basic character. Everyone's character encompasses the possibility to do great things - or not. Can you unlock the great things this time around? Or not. Can you at least build towards the great things?</span>

<span style="font-size:13.999999999999998pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">My interjection into the conversation recorded by Plato would be: If the soul a communal reservoir - the sum of the sum of the bodily incarnations, which is dipped back into each time around - does it still carrying the stain/imprint of it’s previous life? Or is each trip a whole new re-set?</span>

<span style="font-size:13.999999999999998pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">I'd also ask Socrates: Is there a war of good &amp; evil going on in the spiritual realm, as is commonly supposed? What is the nature of this soul-state substance that we dip back into?</span>

<span style="font-size:13.999999999999998pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">You can achieve immortality. Life after death. That’s not controversial. So long as you’re remembered in any way, you exist beyond the grave. If you don't believe me, ask Socrates ... or Jesus</span>

<span style="font-size:13.999999999999998pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Which i thought was a good point. I love my chooks - i’d be very distressed if a suicide epidemic swept the flock. </span>

<span style="font-size:13.999999999999998pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">For them, i am God. A (flawed) benevolent dictator. But simultaneously: most def *a keeper of Plato's cave*. Controlling their image of reality from the get-go. Built their luxurious chook-shed, including a secondary-level spacious/safe/weatherproof *outside* world. </span>

<span style="font-size:13.999999999999998pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Aware of this, i will allow them to progress through the levels into: the *real world*. For 3 hrs a day. Actually, it's not the whole real world, they're happy with 300m range from the Cave. But it's a taste of the universe. If you're a chook, a lot of fantastic stuff can/does happen in 500m of unfettered Cave-leave. </span>

<span style="font-size:13.999999999999998pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">But bad shit can also happen. It's not only humans who think chicken is delicious. So as God, i gotta monitor that shit. Gotta balance letting them experience the light, but *keeping them safe* from real dangers. Then make sure they get back to Plato's Cave each night. Which they all want to do. </span>

<span style="font-size:13.999999999999998pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Managing that world, takes some effort, but i do it with love, so i'd be devastated if the flock suddenly decided to start offing themselves. I would take it personally.</span>

An essence. A pure form. Anaxagoras's *mind concept* seems to be broadly agreed upon by the Greats (later stolen/corrupted by The Church). The omnipresent *One*. From which everything springs. He sees it as an essentially good ideal. Perfect, in fact. So no human can ever fully embody it. There are just people in this world, but no perfectly just (or unjust) person. But there is a concept of perfect justice, which somehow exists as a thing/God - in relation to humans. </span>

<span style="font-size:13.999999999999998pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">I'd agree, i independently came up with the idea of Thought as God, which is the same as Mind - which i later read about. Greats Minds do think alike! </span>

<span style="font-size:13.999999999999998pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">If i was back in that Socrates discussion recorded by Plato though, I might interject that as there's no purely just/evil person, does that imply there is also a concept of pure evil? Does that make Evil a kind of God? Is there a God balance of good &amp; evil? Is that what God is? The balance?</span>

<span style="font-size:13.999999999999998pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">I probably wouldn't mention my current predicament - after all Socrates was facing execution the next day - but back in terms of my Hamlet question ... ?</span>

Humans come &amp; go. ORGS break the life/death barrier with ease. They are human-like - but not human. All the characteristics of God.</span>

<span style="font-size:13.999999999999998pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">In that eternal battle of good &amp; evil - there's gonna periods of ascendancy &amp; descendancy. The Dark Ages - which actively killed off the Golden Age - is a good example of decendance. That shit, once it gets hold, can/does go on for a thousand+ years. It reigned, as a closed-male-society super-cult at full mind-control level on western/colonial thought until the 1970s. Finally the hippies killed it off. Along with the rise of the science community.</span>

Socrates argued-out suicide as an option pretty early on with the *how would you like it if the chooks did it?* line, but, in fact Socrates committed a kind of suicide. Suicide by State. He wasn't against taking decisions that he knew would lead to his death, but he wanted to reverberate </span>
