Paraphilosophy gradually moves into the teaching of philosophy. At the same time, it turns out that it is not at all about Berkeley (for example), since his system is only a partial modification of some philosophical truth, quite clear already in the time of antiquity. A fairly adequate view of philosophical knowledge, the process of its development and the correlation of its separate parts emerges. If the previous step is obvious dilettantism, then this is professional mastery of the topic. Niels Bohr gave the following definition of professionalism: "Many will probably answer that a professional is a person who knows a great deal in the profession concerned. However with this definition I could not agree, because in reality one can never know much in this or that field. I would put it this way: a professional is a person who knows the grossest mistakes usually made in a profession and therefore knows how to avoid them. However, metaphysics, unlike physics, is not a profession. A "professional philosopher" will not make the grossest mistakes (materialism, etc.), but he will still be at the refined zero, at the first philistine stage, since he only understands but does not FEEL the illusory nature of his existence. With his understanding, just as the philistine with misunderstanding and anger, he will defend himself against the black icy wind of the world's nothingness. This is Kantianism without Kant (Baden and Marburg School), and partly Kant himself, his external, writing side. But this is already in part. Inside, he was like Nietzsche, a star shining in the darkness. And it's only from here that one gets into philosophy. The empathy of the mind. Only a select few are capable of this. The world turns into a fairy tale, everything changes its forms, definitions. A man sinks into a dream, into verbal comprehension. I reached this state only recently, about five years ago. In pre-morning dreams, I approach philosophical themes. I feel that I am eternal, and that my present existence is qualitatively comparable to the preceding eternity. I feel that I am lying in a dark room, and I am already limited, as if in a coffin, but I am not at all afraid and calm. I feel - everything is perfectly clear in the dream - that there is no time. Or that there is another world - a world of gods, of happiness. I see it. And here it is the feeling, the feeling. A feeling of thought, a thought that has become a feeling. A dream, but the thought works amazingly clearly. Clearer than in reality. Philosophy becomes an actual given, experienced like everyday life, like a bus or a line in a store. And reality begins to sprawl. Life is a ring. Life is simultaneously in two worlds. At their junction is creation, creativity. In it is the way out. Reading is a surrogate for this. For a few hours, while you read, reality is destroyed. And composing a book is the destruction of a second world. Hence the extraordinary feeling when reading one's book-the world closes in. And so, as you sleep, you gradually realize, "There is a God." And when you wake up, you are horrified by the enormous difficulty of constant thought work necessary to come into contact with this truth. Could not it be somehow easier, more understandable. And the second miracle is the accessibility of religion. It is so arranged that this highest state is awarded at once and for to freshest neophyte. And the greatness of the Church, which teaches the core from the start. It begins not with arithmetic, not with algebra, not even with higher mathematics, but right with Gödel. And it works! Church is explaining it it in a special, human language, designed for the weakest person. And from the other side, the very heart of a man opens up, as if waiting for it. Rozanov wrote: «The feeling of God is the most transcendental in man, the most distant from him, the most difficult to reach: only the richest, most powerful souls and only through trials, sorrows, suffering and most of all through sin, often only at old age, reach these heights - a little and only by the desperate edge of their growth, barely touching «other worlds» with a single extended branch; others only though intermediation, on the condition of purity of soul - reach the second zone: this is - the Church.»
