Very interesting that you're doing Julius Evola. I have recently acquired nine of his books and have been deeply immersed in his writings. I haven't gotten to the work on Alchemy yet but have read through Karl Jung's works on the subject as well as some other writers. I am finding strong connection with Evola's spiritual writing though in the beginning I was resistant to some of his political works. There is some sort of indefinable connection with the kind of reading I have been doing over the decades and this new find. It has something to do with my essential calling although I can only vaguely arrive at the meaning. Thanks.
If, having read The Hermetic Tradition, you wish to undertake further studies, I would recommend Evola's 'Introduction to Magic'. Although published in 1927 four years prior to The Hermetic Tradition, it's the ideal follow-up.
@@chadahaagphilosophychannel7329Tks, Chad. Would welcome your sage observations on Introduction to Magic should you elect to grace us with such. Meanwhile, v. much looking forward to Part II of THT.
I know people in the past probably thought trees mostly grow out of the ground, but actually measuring by certain dimensions trees mostly are formed out of the air.
Thanks for the suggestion, I think that's a great idea. I have so far only considered publishing the transcripts of the whole Hegel Phenomenology of Spirit series, with a lot more content added, as a reader's guide of that one book and mostly because it is so exceptionally difficult, but doing the same for other series would be useful too if people are interested in it.
@@chadahaagphilosophychannel7329 I think it would be great. You could publish transcripts or notes in a rough form and then also collect video series together into a more refined and edited book form, guess that would one option anyway. I assumed you had a rough written script for videos and weren't just speaking ad lib :)
@@benrobin111 I use physical notebooks these days for my notes, so these would have to be then transcribed to a digital format, but that won't be so time consuming, not nearly as much as writing them out in the first place. Thanks again for the suggestion, I'll look into trying to publish a "Best Of" compilation of the "top videos" from this channel in book format.
Mr. Haag, in discussing the death of alchemy, you have struck a rich vein, namely the fundamental modernist heresy of literalism/materialism. Along these lines, have you ever discussed the Trinity? My current thesis is that Augustine revived classical Ethos, Logos and Pathos with the myth system of Father, Son and Holy Spirit. His system was never intended to be taken literally, but rather as a spiritual operating system predicated on fundamental classical principles. I feel however that the modern literal mindset is basically too stupid to understand this "al- (el/allah) chemy." Any thoughts? Respectfully, Kyle E. Wisconsin USA
That's a really interesting thing to consider, I admit the Trinity is one thing I'll never be able to understand but will always enjoy studying in greater depth (I say this as a practicing Christian in the Pentecostal Church of India)
@@chadahaagphilosophychannel7329 Have either of you gentlemen ever examined the Triune One Person Godhead of Emanuel Swedenborg? His theory has to overcome the accusation of Modalism, which in the classical sense was a theory of God being Father at first then becomes the Son and then becomes the Holy Spirit. Swedenborg's version was just God being One Divine Person who is beyond as the Father, expressed as the Son/Word and acts invisibly as the Spirit, Something like a human has Spirit, Mind and Body. I agree with both of you on the current poison of Materialism/Literalism. Peace and blessings in Iyesus Kristos the Almighty.
pretty excited about this one...will be watching as soon as I can

Many blessings for you on your journey ahead friend
right as my studies introduce me to Evola- you are making videos in an otherwise bleak landscape, perfect timing thanks!
Fuck yes! I cannot wait for this
You should do a review of that one Theosophy book by Evola that Logo Daedalus was talking about
The peanut gallery looked like shit even more than usual with that one.
Stop stop he's already dead!

@@thequintonsatyricon Thanks, video 2 should be uploaded by tomorrow
This is an excellent presentation, thank you very much!

Very glad I stumbled upon your channel.
Hey Chad, have you considered publishing transcripts of your videos? Maybe for patrons, or as a substack? Personally I'd love to read this.

Great Work 🧐

That's how I've always thought of the trinity.
I guess I wasn't thinking on the same wavelength as most catholics.
Where in Wisconsin, might I ask?
It is funny how effective the alchemists ruse was.
I wonder how many other historical ideas we've tossed in the trash assuming it was nonsense.
💖 good stuff!!
Interesting!
