**Session #1040**:
ELIAS: I may express to you, my friend, philosophy is an expression of observation, speculation, and imagination. Now; the observation offers information concerning physical expressions. The imagination offers communications from other aspects of yourselves, which are valid and real. The speculation is the insertion of your beliefs in conjunction with the other two expressions.
Now; the limitation of philosophy is that it is a projection outwardly, and in the expression of philosophy, the philosopher does not incorporate the action of moving the philosophy to self in relation to the now and the knowing of self in genuineness, and the application of the philosophy in conjunction with self and the recognition of beliefs.
