THE MONADOLOGY by Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz - FULL AudioBook | Greatest AudioBooks - The Monadology (La Monadologie, 1714) is one of Gottfried Leibniz’s best known works representing his later philosophy. It is a short text which sketches in some 90 paragraphs a metaphysics of simple substances, or monads.
What Leibniz proposed can be seen as a modification of occasionalism developed by latter-day Cartesians. Leibniz surmised that there are indefinitely many substances individually 'programmed' to act in a predetermined way, each program being coordinated with all the others. This is the pre-established harmony which solved the mind body problem at the cost of declaring any interaction between substances a mere appearance, something which Leibniz accepted. Indeed it was space itself which became an appearance as in his system there was no need for distinguishing inside from outside. True substances were explained as metaphysical points which, Leibniz asserted, are both real and exact - mathematical points being exact but not real and physical ones being real but not exact.

_Monadology_ "Study of the Unit" definitely one of the highest realms of knowledge to meditate and contemplate. People of great minds from different times and places have each expressed this truth of the many coming from the One in different ways.

33:42 "Now this connection or adaption of all created things to each and of each to all means that each simple substance has relations which express all the others in consequently that it is a perpetual living mirror of the universe."

45:10 "These principles have given me a way of explaining naturally the Union or rather the mutual agreement of the Soul and the organic body. The Soul follows its own laws and the body likewise follows its own laws and they agree with each other in virtue of the pre-established Harmony between all substances since they are all representations of the One and the same universe."

45:37 "Souls act according to the laws of final causes through a petitions and means. Bodies act according to the laws of efficient causes or emotions. In the two realms that of efficient causes and that of final causes are in Harmony with one another."

42:45 "It also follows from this there never is absolute birth nor complete death in the strict sense consisting in the separation of the Soul from the body. What we call births are developments and growths while what we call deaths are envelopments and diminutions."

31:25 "Accordingly, among created things activities and passivities are mutual for God comparing two simple substances finds in each reasons which oblige him to adapt the other to it and consequently what is active in certain respect is passive from another point of view."

46:32 "According to this system (of pre-established Harmony), bodies act as if to suppose the impossible there were no Souls and Souls act as if there were no bodies and both act as if each influenced the other."

I feel like the monads are the soul that binds us to earth and the astral is the light body and the physical body is the telekis. All the polarity stuff might represent the two poles or good and evil or yin and yang ...ect . actually represent the right and left hemispheres of our brain and we have to be able to hymisync our brains and have both left and right brain able to function at the same time .... Each spirit body is a manifested part of the brain or "mind" or monad which is nothing without the other half of the brain or "astral body" which is shut off anyway must be able to all sync up at the same time as a whole not one little simple substance which were are to the universe but earth as the organism it is as a whole to create a oneness with the universe .... I dunno I had it for a second....

33:11 "54. And this reason can be found only in the degrees of perfection that this worlds possess since each possible thing has the right to aspire to existence in proportion to the amount of perfection it contains. Thus the actual existence of the best that wisdom makes known to God is due to this that his goodness makes him choose it and his power makes him produce it."

there's a refinement of thought ,that is a little like the problems of king Solomon's eccleasties book . the truth of vanity and vexations of life , and the idea of God's choice in making the best of all possible worlds ,of necessities and different perfections, and imperfections of beings and states. it's comforting to understand , harmony and disharmony , God can handle it , when we cant . it's a beautiful book.

43:10 "Nowadays it has become known through careful studies of plants, insects and animals that the organic bodies of Nature are never products of chaos or beautification but always come from seeds in which there was undoubtedly some pre formations and it is held that not only the organic body was already there before conception but also a Soul in this body and in short the animal itself and that by means of conception this animal has merely been prepared for the great transformation and involved in its becoming an animal of another kind. Something like this is indeed seen apart from birth as when worms become flies and caterpillars become butterflies."

50:58 "...as is the way of genuine Love which takes pleasure in the Happiness of the Beloved. This is which leads wise and virtuous people to devote their energies to everything which appears in Harmony with the presumptive and anticedent will of God and yet makes them cobtent with what God actually brings to pass by his secret consequent and possitive decisive will recognizing that we could sufficiently understand the order of the universe we should find that it exceeds all the desires of the wisest men and that it is impossible to make it better than it is not only as a Whole and in general but also for ourselves in particular if we are attached as we ought to be the author of all not only as to the architect and efficient cause of our being but as to our master and the final cause which ought to be the Whole aim of our will and which alone can make our Happiness." ❤

41:52 "Each Soul has a quantity or portion of matter belonging exclusively to itself or attached to it forever and that it consequently owns other inferior living beings which are devoted forever to its service for all bodies are in a perpetual flux like rivers and parts are entering into them abd passing out of them continually. Thus the Soul changes its body only by degrees little by little so that it is never all at once deprived of all its organs and there is often metamorphosis in animals but never metempscychosis or transmigration if Souls nor are their Souls separate from bodies nor embodied spirits alone completely without bodies."

Soul has the minimal weight of anything available in Infinite. Everything that exist, has a weight. Sorry if the scale that measured everything wasn't invented yet.

46:46 "As regards minds and rational Souls though I find that what I have just been saying is true of all living beings abd animals namely that animals and Souls come into being when the world begins and no more come to an end where world does yet there is this peculiarity in rational animals that their spermatic animal cools as long as there are only spermatic have merely ordinary or sensuous sensitive Souls but when those which are chosen so to speak attain to human nature through the actual conception their sensuous Souls are raised to the rank of reason and to prerogative of minds."

32:56 "Now the ideas of God there is an infinite number of possible universes. It is only one of them can be actual there must be a sufficient reason for the choice of God which leads him to decide upon One rather than the other."

Far out! The very fact we exist proves there is a self existent one. Nothing from nothing equals nothing you got to have something if you want to be with him.Yahshua is the self existing ☝ he clarifies this fact Rev.1:8 when he says "I am Alpha and Omega,the beginning and the ending,saith the Lord,which is,and which was, and is to come,the Almighty.

There's the connection to Solomons Eccleasties , it's a comforting correspondence to some natural laws and truths. . philosophy and theology are good for mankind's sanity , as science is to material world has benefited everyone , it is intellectual soothing our emotional stress , a nice balance , a better harmonious Grammer and logic based on truth brings calm and rationality.
