Spiritually like any philosopher coming to grips with the larger picture of life, I believe we need a sense of who we are. As an existentialist I have always been concerned with action oriented questions, like, who am I? What should I do with my independence? How should I live my life? What should I make of myself? What do I need for Health?

I was perfectly happy with who I had become and I was obliged to remain wholly secular. I had done all my research, learned many disciplines for health, psychologically and physiologically, and spiritually, as I saw health as so important, and even in Hegel studies found his studies not as important as I do today, until. Christopher Hitchens however was and all his questions he so needed answered. His questions deserved an answer.

Spirit is important along with shared Values. Until 2015, I was sure I had things all figure out, but them children were being shot in school in my home of Tobin, Alberta, Canada, and also mutilated as young children. The shootings were not far from an aunt of mine, so I wanted to learn more.

In the United States of America, children were being killed in so many schools, and mutilated and fed drugs at an alarming rate. Many Existentialists have contributed today to how I believe, and some of this behaviour was never accepted, but I heard a young male say killing was acceptable. Not only did that go against every moral I know, every ethical behaviour, and went against what the one and only Robert C Solomon along with his wife had taught, Kathleen Higgins, I just knew, this is all wrong.

With my own studies of Philosophy and Logic from Professor Hanley in Brandon University I knew something needed my attention. I loved that year of study in Brandon University. I loved my time with Kathleen and Robert in studying “The Passions” with Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, Hegel, and I did serious writing about these philosophies. There was Augustine, and many many others to get a really serious integration of Robert’s and Kathleen’s interpretation. I feel today they are my two surrogate parents for life. I became a skeptic and looked at everything with questioning eyes of Truth, and the details of all the Philosophers and how they perceived life to be. Existentialism has contributed to our lives immensely and I still believe they contribute to my ongoing Peacefulness. Nietzsche and Jean -Paul Sartre  sounded like they had denounced their own religions, but somehow I saw it a little differently than others. I think that both Hegel and Nietzsche saw what I saw, and that was the people who say they are religious and do not follow through with the commitments to “God is Love.” 1 John written by John, Jesus’s best friend. There are so few that take the high road, it is hard not to take a look with the harsh judgment of the Churches that is necessary in skepticism. I also believe after reading Zarathustra, and Hegel’s work that Nietzsche decided in the end to keep his spirituality. He saw the hypocrisy, and did not want to live that in religions, but spirituality was Nietzsche’s long life journey.  He said God is dead, but that was from a historical point of view, and he understood how people were trying in new times to apply historical facts to their lives, that were just not fitting.

Nietzsche and Hegel tried to apply spirit of Christian thought to Nature’s Laws. It is and was a natural spirituality, to get away from other worldly fundamental religions that seem to use the people, instead of looking on the inside of each individual hybrid. He learned to appreciate as I have the everyday enchantment of life. But it never became so clear as it did in 2015, when I saw government’s using kids for politics, religions using kids for politics, Spirit is as mute silent physiology, as we were being attacked by a biological warfare on our biology, but I saw spirit as the necessary function, and embodiment of the soul or spirit of the individuals left to suffer from this horrendous event.

If spirit means anything it means thoughtfulness, empathy, compassion, and Love for all around you from oxytocin, “the Love hormone, a peptide hormone”  released by the hippocampus that plays a huge role in loving  other homo sapien animals as much as self, plus the love for evolution, love of laws of nature, laws of the land, but you have to include human history and it’s influences.

Important is the learned brain’s sense intake from external data, and the processing of this outer world, as well as the processing it takes inside the brain, along with all the systems of patterns, the biochemistry, along with the feed-backs of knowledge, sense intake, instincts, intuition, spirituality, and all the brain areas that are so important in how we build our limbic system that takes our experiences, our expectations, the social context of our lives and all other factors and constructs,  and the proper emotions, along with feelings, and builds this spirit into a whole picture when you see such an occurrence, and you then see how Nietzsche was so insightful about judging hypocrisy through his skepticism, but never losing your love for the design.

Thought takes emotions, chemistry, understanding, and Philosophical analysis, along with logic and then reduced to a theory of knowledge. Anyone denying this fact, knows a way less than Nietzsche, Hegel, Professors; Dr. R.C Solomon from Texas University from Austin, Dr. Lee Silvers from Princeton, and Dr. Steven Nowicki from Duke University, Professor Jeanette Norden from Vanderbilt University, and my Professor Hanley from Brandon University in both Philosophy and Logic.  All the Optimum brain courses I took, the Anthropology education from Canadian studies, and the Western Historical factors of Northern America’s Historical events. Interesting factors arose for me in 2015, and I believe I have answered them all for myself and others. I am not a fanatic with anyone else, I can be a friend, but my lengths I go to, to find out truth for health is still an never ending story, and I am the ever ready battery that cannot let go. I will not stop. The big question reduced to philosophy is so simple to me, after this time of study. I see it so clearly, of how really beautiful life is when we follow what we are commanded to do. Love one another. Love your environment. Love your country. Love the Laws of the land. Love the Laws of the Universe, and Love Laws of Nature, and never kill another soul. Moving onward at all places of pause.

If you deny me, you deny you. United
