Philosophy and Psychology
Two disciplines. One inquiry. The nature of what we are, and what we are capable of becoming.
The philosophy here is not borrowed. It is not a restatement of existing schools. It is built from first principles — from decades of independent thought, from a life that demanded real answers rather than inherited ones.
The psychology is original work. A framework for understanding the human mind that extends beyond the conventional model — into the non-physical dimensions of mind and being that most psychology does not account for.
Together they form the intellectual and structural core of A Handful of Light—and of The Light Series as a whole.

 Philosophy
Philosophy is the study of ideas. Of knowledge, truth, the nature of, and the meaning of life. Of other fundamental aspects of reality and of human existence. It can also refer to a set of ideas or a way of living according to a set of principles.
Philosophy will always be part of the intellectual history of humankind. These pieces are Raymond Peter Luke’s contribution to that history—made not from an academic chair, but from the road.
 
Know Yourself

Know yourself first, and contemplate the death of the flesh and its fleeting mortality. Your spirit. The continuation of your soul. And it is ever adobe. And its reason. Before you help another unconditionally. Discipline your own mind first. Without reservation. Exercise self-advancement to your own benefit. Then toward your family, friends, guests, and society. By the input of information. The carefully stored sentiment. And guard all the thoughts from within the mind. Be mindful of your conduct and your actions toward others. Reflect on your spirit acting upon matter unceasingly. That its effects are greater than the individual’s nature.

Submit yourselves in all fidelity towards each other. Exercise benevolence and charity that stem from the heart. Hereafter you will know your place and your contribution. And your measured involvement. And it is emotionally worth it for the next. Thereafter, the cohesive bond of affection will move mountains. To this purpose: the ascension of another into a state of consciousness, awareness, and enlightenment. To encourage the development of intellect freely. By prudent planning and fidelity beyond compare. By the demonstration, participation, and acceptance of your association with another in a society.  May the separate, enlightened self be a social union. To this end, a resolve of society and of discrete minds. Therefore, I charge you respectfully with delicate use. Then. Estimate your Creator. Investigate all avenues and conclude on the image and likeness thereof.

Created, formed, defined, and refined.

To the end of control and dominion. The knowledge of all that is dual and opposing, and life. Arisen and created, not made, and nurtured. That comes with a perspective of other cellular life and species. This brings our purpose closer into view. A measure from within of independent life, interconnected, and of separate self! The ability for a separate life, teamed with another of the same kind, to reproduce naturally. Highlights the drive and the coding, contained within a species. To store both emotional and memory capacity. To develop further the intelligence needed and a higher capacity of mind within that period. For the preservation and development of self, to adapt to the ever-changing environment. The transference of self to the independent and interconnected next life. A conscious spirit acting upon matter. A continuous soul. Thereafter, a wider perspective of nature’s self-regulated, independent governance. The movement of consciousness, and its pace behind matter as such. That orients to cause a visible collaboration of reaction and result. To cause various states of cognitive orientation of all that is dual, a push and pull that ensures the flow, alignment, and orientation of energy.

The three fixed constants that affect all. The continual change within the realm of nature and its effects. The march and procession of time. Changes all nature, deemed as measurable and non-recoverable. The life expectancy of all nature, on one hand, and, on another, a continuance of the soul. An integrated essence into nature.

Lastly. Know the difference. The whole living temple, made and not created and confined within nature, in many universes. And the elusive Maker God of all. Who dwells in all? With all. And through it all. The First Life, which is behind nature’s drive, its governance, all matter, and its essence. Our Maker God. Our self. And our creative involvement in nature and in the essence of life eternal.

 

Choice

Everyone who is curious, questions, examines, and improves on, the status quo. And strives for the present true self – a spiritual quest – can attain pure intent, of self. By virtue of, a choice. A deep guided belief. That stems from the heart and mind. And by daily disciplined action. This is a part of our creative souls. A gift from the Maker God – our legacy.

Omni Three

From one; that divides into three. A wisdom. A force. A spirit.

Wisdom comes from a pursued idea. That through experience, all knowledge gained enables good judgement. This allows a focused force. To become everlasting. To manifest energy. The realization of any vision, unbiased with authority. No matter the period. Proving a life force, or spirit. In endless harmony with God the Maker and with nature. And with other life forms.

Spirit into Matter

For me, it stems from it. The action of many lifetimes. Even though there is duality. The principle of change and others. And the constant march of time. That demands a lifespan. And rebirth.

Energy, Force and Matter

Where mankind’s, existence, his spirituality, his curiosity, his observation, his defined science, and arts, and nature meet.

Prose Meditation
This is the bridge between the hustle and daily grind. Between active thinking and a deep stillness of the mind. Deep relaxation is being mindful of our inner being in appreciation of everything. Our presence in the here and now is our journey. Here we guide our minds into an awareness through meditation. Breathe in life. Breathe out a creative life. Now imagine the achievement of inner peace.
 
Ubuntu

Alkebulan, mother of humankind. The beginning, the source of everything that came after. This land is different. The soil is fertile. The ancient hills, waters, forests, and sky produce a unique people. The people are diverse. And the world has tried to mimic, suppress, or destroy the rich culture, history, and identity.

What the people produce today and all the generations that follow – they are the source and always will be the seed of human life. In all the many ways intended. Their past roots breathe completely in all societies.

It is sacred. Breathing in is spirit; breathing outward is memory. To speak is to breathe life into something. To create life. Life that connects to everything living. Words that have conscious power from the many. Everything that came after speaks a truth. Listen, Alkebulan speaks. Hear, the growth flows in the veins of humanity.

Psychology
The word comes from the Greek — meaning breath, spirit, or soul. It is the discipline that studies human and animal behaviour. The mind and its cognitive processes. Raymond Peter Luke’s psychology does not begin where conventional psychology begins. It begins further back — at the question of what the mind actually is, in its fullest sense. Physical and non-physical. Conscious and subconscious. Cellular and collective. Everything is learned. Nothing is broken. Everything is permitted. So is the opposite ability. All is selected. All is progress. Live that change. Unconditionally. The right time, the place, and the relation will follow. An individual who demonstrates creativity, resilience, and change — who adapts to an environment, embraces growth, and evolves — demonstrates the hallmark of intelligence and integrity.
 
Introduction to Psychology

Humankind, the creators that evolved from nature. And claimed right, entitlement, control, and territory. They claimed superiority. Developed a language whose words nature could not understand – its words. That created the conditions of the mind.

The Home-Brewed Theory

I did not learn any secret Gnostic, or Esoteric knowledge. That could help me rule the world, in a god-form. Or network with greater efficiency. For self-benefits. Far from that. I learned of function, process, of structure, and consistencies. Of something, based on the greater, rather than self. Of an amicable process, to resolve conflict. Of individual willingness, participation, perseverance, progress, and self-study. That proves result, and hides everything, from the lazy.

Introspective Behaviour

Is the action of looking inside, towards one self. With the intention to examine yourself. To determine your own thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. Achieving a better understanding of self.

The Mind and Its Cognitive Process

A cognitive process is a mental activity or a series of mental steps. That a person uses to acquire, store, retrieve, or convert knowledge. Involving activities like, language, social events, complex attention, learning and memory, reasoning, perceptual and motor functions, judgement, thought, and problem-solving. And how a person understands information, from memories, emotion, and stressful situations. Forming the basis of knowledge, that leads to decisions, actions, and behaviours. Cognitive processes are central to human intelligence. And can be, obstructed by conditions, environment, and natural occurrence. And impact how people relate to the world around them.
