EDIT*** Bishop Barron just used "pattern of patterns" in an interview with FOXtv (A year ago) I wrote a poem "Layers of Intelligibility" inspired by my intellectual hero, Dr John Vervaeke 🙏 ...... Through all the layers of intelligibility, there is a through-line, beginning with and congruent to, the pattern that begot all patterns. And whilst fractaling in nature, this through-line binds "you" to the moment, here and now, whence the complex pattern of patterns that you are, is able to intelligibly-perceive-participate in this pattern I am now attempting to articulate. And to the extent that this through-line is inexhaustibly intelligible and good, that is what we can realize as Divinity, or the most good, or that which cannot be named, "God". Have Mercy Rejoice ! 🙏
37:44 “For beauty is nothing but the beginning of terror which we are barely able to endure, and it amazes us so, because it serenely disdains to destroy us. Every angel is terrible.” ― Rainer Maria Rilke, Duino Elegies
Oh wow, I am looking forward to this. Professor Blackwood is one of my top people to see speaking on the internet. A rare gentleman and scholar. And of course Professor Vervaeke is exceptional.
holy moly... this might be one of the best distillations of AFTMC I've seen yet from John!! (and I'm not even halfway through yet! already up to 22 pages of notes tho 😅😅)
Vervaeke you are an absolutely brilliant communicator. I love your etymology manipulations when you use a difficult word. This is something I can learn from. When we use dense language, unpacking it really drives home the meaning.
John, that was so beautiful! Your connective thinking forms a through-line (like Ariadne’s thread) that helps us to find our way out of the labyrinthine meaning crisis. Hugely appreciated!
Thanks. That two languages, of explaining and showing where the same person has two stances and in each there's the two world, solved by virtue higher and lower compromise I think or going to the two worlds mythology so it becomes a two step of objectified self instead of a journey where objects have differences and these observed.
I was puzzled by the Gnostic idea in the Divine Comedy of divinity being achieved through intuitive knowledge. Beatrice tells him: and know that all delight to the degree to which their vision sees-more or less deeply- that truth in which all intellects find rest. -Paradise. 28: 106-108 John’s talk at 42:55 - 45:25 as well as other places clarifies this for me to a great extent. I would conclude, hopefully correctly, that vision aligns us with the divine because we see things we need to know about. I think we need to know these things because freedom and joy lie in harmonising our thinking with the divine. The divine, I trust, is found outside the knowledge of religious doctrine and always seems to have the idea of the one and the many at its core, an intuition shared by mystics no matter the time or the place.
Redox in different places...if a person is confronted by a choice of two, then two world as the prior set already made up as to choice without regard to the present choice, all of it with components of redox in the world, like hemoglobin iron, gut and soil, circuits and batteries, dark oxygen on the ocean floor out of light with ocean current bringing metals that coalesce and provide the energy for electrolysis in, the sea water other characteristic of electrolyte. Redox of the soul?
Let's see if this comment sticks. Oh John you are amazing you make my heart flutter with deep longing for truth within and without the plutonic forms. Sign me up, I am yours.
I'm not sure if this is part of the non-propositional or not, which is the actual medium that knowledge is recorded upon. Starting with a person then in tribe with verbal stories, so the medium is hard to destroy because the people would have to be killed. Then stone and clay tablets which are quite hard to destroy, then libraries where a kid could throw a match, electronic media gone with a button push or Great Carrington event. What's next, except back to the original, but not little groups around fires, it's back to the tree, to be that 3d shape. I would argue this is devolving, the little groups is the way if the focus is tweaked a bit. If humans started in trees, they would have been finished off quickly if they stayed, food for chimps like monkeys. Follow the dimension shifts, 3d to savannah 2d, where the 3d evolved again as circle around fire, a cone. Like tech or the arts is the fire now for small groups, but profit motive conflicts with care, so this can be fixed by seeing how 2 world mythology is manifested in structures of state/criminal class, economics/efficiency, business/games and others. Various triangles from investing too much into that robust triangle of grass/herd/pack, by eating grass. When dynamic and healthy that triangle spins to pyramid then cone, able to move with cone from the Sun, as spinning top. See how the hourglass and spinning top are a two step? Where it gets scary for me is to see RealBunny slippers that everyone wants to use, actual living sort of creatures that are one's interface to step into in the morning, to connect one thru the feet to virtual reality. In effect going back to the tree and that 3d shape - the Blob - instead of working with cones, and humans in small groups as disc like a round trampoline, not sending out the human only, which has the practical limit of the solar system. It could be more like an invitation as bride for the alien, coming in and socketing in us in a most delightful way, as traveling companions. Not in each person though, that would be gross like the slippers. thanks for hosting the show!
What is up with your comment section, comments come and go. Are mediators having an intellectual hard-on or just intellectual snobbery? Either way, we all die. Keep having fun. Hope your funding goes to science.
RUclips/Google usually does that. It's highly censored & biased, for both channels posting & and commenters. I'm sorry to hear that you have been through some of the bad things that you have.
Oh, Ralston wants to be the arbiters of truth. How does one critique a woman's world when raped by a woman as a child, accused of rape by a woman associated with the original trauma and then left to the State through paid psychotherapy to fix. I only realised I was eligible for psychotherapy because I did research through a double degree in social science and philosophy. As for your ethics? Seem suspect.

EDIT*** Bishop Barron just used "pattern of patterns" in an interview with FOXtv
(A year ago)
I wrote a poem "Layers of Intelligibility" inspired by my intellectual hero, Dr John Vervaeke 🙏
......
Through all the layers of intelligibility, there is a through-line,
beginning with and congruent to,
the pattern that begot all patterns.
And whilst fractaling in nature,
this through-line binds "you" to the moment, here and now,
whence the complex pattern of patterns that you are,
is able to intelligibly-perceive-participate in this pattern I am now attempting to articulate.
And to the extent that this through-line is inexhaustibly intelligible and good,
that is what we can realize as Divinity,
or the most good,
or that which cannot be named, "God".
Have Mercy
Rejoice !
🙏
I just call it "positive sum logic"! PSL doesn't care whether you worship it or call it "God"! It just **is**!

Professionally done. Thank you Dr. Blackwood. I hope to see you and Ralston College one day.

I need this video in my life so much rn 😅 Thanks again, Vervaeke 🎉 I still have many questions but this is fabulous.
Thank you!🙏🏻
You're on to something John. The levels reflect an interior hierarchy. Careful of the construction of an exterior hierarchy.

42:11 this Aristotelian language is echoed in Lenin's _Materialism and Empirio-criticism!_

2:53:35 YES! You heard it here first! We Lana Del Rey fans are the new vanguard! 🤪🤩
My question is why do who jail criminals but not warmongering politicians? In fact should there not be a UN jail for politicians.

Hello embody
Never had time for people who feel they have to shout . One big word salad.
Do you want it darker?
Why call it “Cultural Christianity”, why not just call it “Christianity”?

Are you sure it was Ralston College? It sounds more like Hogwarts College!!
Neoplatonism? His way to create food to support his life's mistakes through an institution that does not respect, respect.
I get your cynicistist trolling here but he strkes a cord for those who need a pathway
You mad
Oh, Ralston wants to be the arbiters of truth.

God, the intro is as bad as an OnlyFan looking for cash.
Oh, okay so I might listen to Rumi if my voice is a blip on your ego's.
This is dated and old.
Ralston College....22 students. .unaccredited.....
