Thanks for this lesson Mr. Gore because it has enlightened me to the fact that I believe Freemasonry takes most of its rituals from Plato and are thus Platonists among other historical philosophies mostly Egyptian, Kabbalist and others . Their initiation ritual really resembles this parable in bringing the initiate from the darkness of the regular world into the light and also has 3 pro-ported levels to it like the cave allegory, also this demi-urge really sounds a lot like their "Great Architect'. They are truly Gnostics and its no wonder they have remained a secret society among the Christian world for so long for fear of heresy. It had been thought that Gnostics were expelled from Europe by the Catholics but it just seems they have gone underground until as we see today the world is becoming more open to Gnostic teachings and Eastern religions Kabbalism, Wicca and outright Satanism under a supposed Atheist veil etc because the people in control of the west and most countries still believe in the pre-Christian religions. #TheAncientMysteries Thats why Scientism,Darwanism plus Eastern religions are being taught to such degrees and championed as well these days to I believe discredit those who believe in Christ and to brainwash the masses away from him as well.
A small correction i think is appropriate to make: The Philosopher does not escape(run away) from the cave of shadows but actually makes an intellectual journey(travels) to reach/find the Real Objects, and then tries to expose the path to other masses to reach to that Demi-urge.. thanks :)
As Christians, we must delineate that, unlike Plato, we do NOT think of the material world as being necessarily bad. That would be the gnostic heresy,.
"As Christians, we want Plato to take the final step and identify the highest good with God." But Plato is too intelligent to take that step, because in taking it, he would drag all the psychopathy, the false covenants, the jealousy, the killing rages, the false prophecies, the nullified and neglected prayers, the blood-lust, and the genocidal retribution of YHWH into the highest good, where none of it actually belongs because all those things are pathological and twisted and incompatible with even ordinary good, let along the highest good.
Your selfish ingratitude doesn't make God any less good. It just makes you yet another cry-baby who gets off on maligning a God you supposedly don't even believe in. A wise man once said, "Just because it doesn't make sense to you doesn't mean it doesn't make sense." Please memorize this proverb for the sake of self improvement.
@@vheilshorn Any that calls God YHWH is a nut case trying so hard to make what Christ did stand for nothing. They want the law back and want ppl to conform to there one world order that everyone must call GOD YHWH or they aren't saying God .
Thank you for the excellent message about Plato's cave parable professor Gore.
thanks for sharing. Very interesting conferences which are very useful to our diary life.
