Imagine a world where every truth is just unvailed to us without gatekeepers saying what we should or not learn.
That would be the day.
Thanks once again for another incredible video.
Plenty of food for thought, and to get busy at learning new ideas. A well done summary of Hermeticism. Thank you.
Glad you are back. Best of luck with your house hunting. Thanks for this great video!
Thank you 😊
In order to understand a little more about Hermeticism and also be entertained beyond belief, I recommend reading the Promethea series by Alan Moore and J. H. Williams III.
Oh my goodness you're back, yay!
Thanks, brother 😄 It's been a hectic couple of months.
Interesting, thanks for sharing.
I find esotericism to be laughably silly and left wanting, but was a cool dive into the subject.
Glad you enjoyed it! I think partly esotericism appeals to a specific mindset, but I'd also say it's a matter of how one interprets the texts and how literally one takes it.
Omg L.L. I was legit just thinking how you didn’t post in sometime not long ago 😭
I'm seriously flattered that you were thinking about me, brother. And I promise to maintain a more regular schedule now that we've sort of settled in at our new temporary home.
❤
Yep. We need politics...
Thanks, brother. That will be somewhat controversial.
The foundation would actually be Platonism and then, importantly, Neoplatonism. Kabbalah is non-Western.
Esotericism Word sounds like a Bearded man in a cave tell you to read Thomas Payne
Haha, to be fair, I am basically a bearded man in a cave at the moment!
