DOORS: THEIR FUNCTION

Houses without doors are not good buildings. We aren't able to go in or come out. So we can conclude that if buildings appear to us, there are also doors. Home without a door is not very functional, we claim. And that's true!, I shout back to you.

But is the function of doors to function as passages? My claim is: it's not.

                                        

You can't step inside, smiles City of Turku.

From outside one goes in but if looking from inside the house one comes in. In the same way, one goes out from inside the house comes out from the house to out of doors in which a secret agent is waiting.

We are strangers. Sometimes guests. Often relatives of someone. As a result, we can't go in from doors whenever we want because doors don't open to us. Most of doors of the big cities are closed. Someone else decides when the front doors will open. Try to enter other territories, public buildings, people's homes, stores and shops, bars and clubs, shopping malls, and you will see that I am right.

They who control the door are free to go and come.They lock up it. They are safe inside. They order who comes in. And we aren't warmly welcomed.

But is there any security from the rest of the World? No, the West is too the Rest and this individual is not safe inside. Values, ideas and words of the society push their way into his home - . Inside. To the individual Mind. You can't lock up your Mind's door. It is always open. To the manipulation of a consciousness.

Yet, when going to work people lock up the home door. They don't want somebody goes in secretly. Their intention is keeping threats outside. We are not threat. But they don't believe us. We're outsiders. 

However, there are people who can't walk out from rooms. They are locked behind many doors. Inmates, insanes and terrorists. You can come out if they dare let you free. If they decide so. Before opening the door it stays locked. You and me are safe. But we are locking up ourselves behind the doors. We don't walk out from the house. They and you eat us. The outcast. We, they - or You.

A MEANING OF THE CONCEPT "IDEA"

There are many ways by which we can define ideas. One of them is the following: ideas are mental contents and psychical images. These are natural symbols because we can't create and change them however we want. When one is sensing darkness one can't change it for redness. Ideas have been understood also as sensations being qualities. They would be qualities of a mind. Thus ideas would occur within a person and they have shorter temporal duration than their owner. After imagining the person remains although that imagination disappeared.


The idea as the natural symbol means that it is the copy of a archetype. So the idea represents some other entity than it is. And this other represented in a person is independent of a perceiver, but not always.



For instance, memories, mental pictures, imaginations, illusions, delusions and hallucinations, impressions and sensations are ideas if defining ideas as psychical images. When Mrs. Smith is recollecting her daughter, she sees a mental image of the daughter in mind. But it is clear that this mental image is very different than the real daughter. Likewise, if Mr. Jones perceives a flying dagger being hallucination, then it implies that the dagger flies in his mind's sight. So there's not any dagger in the room. And it is a idea which doesn't represent a physical dagger. (Maybe there's not room: he is dreaming.)


As a result, a future idea doesn't represent at present an object which exists in the future. Many hope the world's peace and justice in their heart. But this idea, unfortunately, wouldn't necessarily materialize in the future. And many times our kind ideas never realize because the world doesn't go as we like. The present economical crises is a good evidence that people's hopes have collapsed: we must invent something new.


Finally, we must notice we don't perceive only one idea at a time but many. Our mind's experience is full of things such as thoughts, beliefs, feelings, desires, impressions, memories, imaginations, visions and hearings simultaneously. However, our private plurality of experience, from seeing from inside of a person to the immediate area, doesn't agree with the world of bodies outside of a mind. The world doesn't represent a mind's ideas. Yet a mind's ideas within a human organism can represent the world of bodies. But not always.

That was a bad business idea.
