Very good

This needs some ocarina of time background music, it would feel much more impactful haha

Amazing channel and content! Do you have an analysis of the Odyssey somewhere? Thanks!

5:41 I don't understand what you mean by the use of the word "geschichte" in "it's difficult to differentiate between history and geschichte in the life of Pheryecydes" ... I know it's the German word for "history" but what does it mean in this context?

Thanks, very good presentation and analysis.

Thanks for this! This concept is not difficult to imagine when you understand that Plato knew we lived on the inside surface of the earth. This is called "Cellular cosmogony" or "Concave Earth." I am not here to tell anyone what to believe. But the "flat earthers" are only aware of half a lie. The rest of the lie is very well documented in our history. The critical mass of humanity has been dumbed down beyond the point of critical thinking. Thank you very much for this video, I will add it to my ever growing list of evidences that demonstrate that the "Reality" provided to us from childhood isn't very "real" at all. That's exactly what we get for having faith in institutions that have done nothing but lead us astray and create more problems than they solve. Thank you again for this video!

Get a haircut

Metaphysics book I, Aristotle: "....they supposed the elements of numbers to be the elements of all things, and the whole heaven to be a musical scale and a number..." Could contexts have been lost in esoteric symbols and oral transmissions, and have ultimately referred to degrees of consciousness attainment, (of all levels of life, and increasingly distinguishable as a scale of number gradients, from lower to higher, (reserved for requisite understanding)?

Were there any attempts to master metempsychosis, to direct one's next incarnation? Are there any teachings of metepsychosis as souls incarnating through the same bloodline? I'd be thankful if you can share any resources about such beliefs and/or magical practices.

I even breath better after hearing/seeing a fellow man point his finger at the heart of truth. My soul tremple in fear and owe everytime I read the republic... the exact same shiver when I read the Quraan. Only Heavenly books have this effect.

Very well put together video ❤

Statements about Old Testament does not reflect general biblical knowledge, there ar only opinions of the Athor

With this wonderful even in Germany practically forgotten or nowadays mostly misunderstood work you find yourself in the core of the German soul and mind. Like Goethe and a few others of their time Schiller had a very deep knowledge about history, German people and the political task of Middle Europe. They actually were cosmopolitans in the best sense. Schiller for instance was by far not alone by urgently warning his compatriots to better not build a nation but to "act as individuals in the world". The rest is history. In terms of practical and therapeutical "use" I`d highly recommend you to start studying the works of Rudolf Steiner who later on imo not just enhanced and refined the works of Schiller and Goethe but also delivered a new perspective on philosophy in general and its meaning in human life Anyway, thanks a lot for your video. Best wishes and Greetings from Germany !

Give me a pig's foot and a bottle of beer.

That was brillant & eye-opening, thank you!

So interesting - thank you! !

wait a minute! Isn't Timues recollecting the memory of the creation!? his soul was there, and no one was there but the creator. Timues is the creator. Socrates leaning back amused as his master Timues, is entertaining him. Noone knows the full details of the first and second creations but God and demigods. Wanting to keep everything good and free of gealousy, the created is always granted the chance to creat. Even us, we are granted the chance to create literature, machines..etc.

I thoroughly enjoyed all the Pythagorus presentations here, thank you. I just found you today, early Jan 2024. I shall enjoy listening to all the other video's now.

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this, thank you. Have subscribed (Jan 2023). ;)

Small channel. Great content. Subscribed.

Thank you for sharing this, I tremendously appreciate the approach you take. Watching out for dogmatic reflexes (indeed reminiscent of a fundie sect) seems so important to me. The Drake meme is hilariously to the point! Your passion and curiosity really shines through. Much grateful for this work!

This is gold....thank you

Thank you this is brilliant. I am writing something which uses the legend symbolically, and have spent some time researching in Languedoc and the Hermetic library in Amsterdam - also of course read Joseph Campbell's book on the grail myth. However, your video is truly fantastic and informative, and makes many more connections to follow up on. Thank you!

cleaning "his" temple of prostitutes - the issue is it is public property aka tragedy of the commons

Awesome video, these last three have been some of your best! I wanted to ask, would you consider the "Homeric faith" and the 'Philosophic faith' to be two separate but related schools of thought? I personally conceive of it that way, with the Mysteries like Orphism and Philosophies like Platonism being a form of Esoterism in contrast to the Homeric Exoterism, by late Antiquity they would grow closer due to be Christian competition and Influence, and because of that Neoplatonists began with reading Plato Allegorically but ended up with also reading Homer and Hesiod that way. Orientalism is also something that has always being a core feature, the Greeks began with the "Secret Books of the Prygians' and ended up with the Chaldean Oracles

Parsifal / Perseval gets his name from the ancient female greek god Perse and then the latin Villa. Perse was also known as the maiden and known as Cora. Maiden castle was the place where the grail was kept, Perseval was the grail holder. Perseval means maiden's castle.

Interesting how Ancient Greek religious views have lots of parallels to Far-East countries belief systems, specially China and India, which the Greeks were in touch with at some point.

4:46 that was beautiful

The opposite of an evidence lower bound. Hence our societal disaster. ELBO - look it up. Think about it. Happy?

_Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz_

Thanks sir, this was really helpful and detailed.

A most wonderous lecture. Deep thanks noble friend.

Thanks for your exegesis, reflection, and promotion. Pico and the renaissance never get enough credit. Everyone seems to jump from Hellenic philosophy to Descartes with mandatory footnotes on the Middle Ages and almost never anything substantial on these precious Florentine treasures.

Thank you!

As I went through this magisterial lecture I did, unsurprising to everyone based on my screen name, notice the presenter had an irrepressible appetite for making negative comparisons with the Bible. I though I'd overlook it and just let it go, as one often must do in the academy. But when the whole lecture culminated with one such comparison it seemed to justify my suspicion that there was an axe to grind, and I thought there might be some value in offering a corrective; or perhaps in true Socratic form, enter into dialectic if there is willingness to do so. To start off, the comparison with Psalm 89 was apt, as the Old Testament contains a number of creation myths, some of which are combat myths and some are not. A short time later there was a jab taken at God's "jealousy" and another taken at his participation in "human vices." The Hebrew word translated "jealousy" (קנא) is semantically broader than our word jealousy and does not always carry the same negative connotation. It may be used of "zeal" for example, or of an appropriate affection and defensive posture for that which is good, such as a man's loving concern for his wife. This caricature of petty jealousy, well known from a few pieces of popular antagonistic literature, is ultimately traceable to an unfortunate quirk of English translation. The greatest irony is at the end when Timaeus is pitched as a story in which people are invited to know and ultimately shine like the divine stars of heaven, as where Genesis, again, is showcased as a lackluster alternative. A few misunderstandings here. OT scholars debate the meaning of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, but they are quite certain the tree does not represent factual knowledge as such. Usually it's understood to mean something like establishing moral autonomy apart from the creator god, which even Timaeus would not permit since it is divine proportionality that becomes the rubric for human moral aspiration. The flourish about shining like the stars is ironic as well. Biblical scholars discern a story in which humans are meant to ascend to the divine council in exactly these terms, star-like terms. This is why the wise shine like the stars in Daniel 12, language usually reserved for divine beings. This language escalates in the Second Temple Period with figures like Philo who claims the children of Abraham are "like the stars" not only in quantity but in divine quality; and even Paul in 1 Corinthians 15 seems to be drawing on this ascent to divinity with his star language as a description of resurrection. The notion that the whole biblical narrative is about humans elevating themselves to the stars has even become a sort of subculture under biblical scholar Michael Heiser, which is why it was so strange to me to see this projected as precisely the sort of thing the biblical writers know nothing about. The presenter, in other words, did extraordinarily well when he remained in his lane - and I mean that as an authentic compliment on his talents. His animus, however, took him places where his fluency was broken.

great!

this was very helpful poggers

Pierce the veil

I've only watched Wagner's Parsifal. I couldn't understand how Percival could possibly know what question to ask. Also, when he returned to the castle, he didn't ask the question then, either. He simply became king instead of Amfortas. Does von Eisenbach's story explain these things?

Thank you for this rich depiction. As you move between descriptions of eternal principles and temporal events so also an element of my I experience itself now temporal now eternal. Perhaps this is what Fichte also experienced as he battled against the Kantian image of man. Concerning fertilization, that is the bringing of order into chaos, we can also consider the polar opposite of how irrational numbers (undetermined) are that factor that loosens up the determined world, seeds of chaos or indeed of life.

Very topical as I just had a class where the tutor was pushing the same flat "scientific" paradigm of Greeks and pre-Socratics. You have validated my suspicions! Also, you were missed! 🙏

Happy to see a new video from you.

God = Reality = Life Absolute = All-inclusive That which is, that is nothing in particular (actual), is by definition everything in general (potential). 0. Potential = Being 1. Actual = Becoming (actualized) Life eternally actualizes infinite potential, because only Eternity can fully embrace Infinity. The abstract (Heaven) can be expressed concretely (Earth) as a smile, hug, etc., thereby uniting Heaven and Earth. Psyche/Soul: Father = Mind = Inspiration Mother = Heart = Aspiration Child = Will = Volition Integration = Integrity = Soul When the Heart aspires, the Mind inquires and the Will conspires (combines). 'Now' is the presence of the eternal/Infinite within the temporal/finite, simply being aware of being aware. Being For (positive)/not For (neutral) is inherently sustainable (good). Being against (negative) is inherently unsustainable (evil).

Excellent excellent from India

I dont think badness corresponds with the feminine. The one is the good so badness is deviation away from god.

Many thanks for this thought provoking take on Timaeus. Very useful material for our series on Christianity as Mystical Fact.
