Wonderful content. Thanks for sharing your learning with us.

Thank you for this wonderful video. I first discovered The Prophet when I was in high school many years ago. This is my favorite of his works. I have given copies of this book to my friends. Everyone should read this beautiful and inspirational book.

Thanks a lot for this collage of information and views to Bussels real manifestation of some of the art we see in the visual novels. I came across Schuiten & Peeters somewhen end of the 80ties, with the book “De archivaris”. I did buy later some serigraphs, which are still hanging in my house 😊. Since then, I also learned Dutch. I did buy different publications in both languages, besides German (mother language, French by education). Unfortunately the book stores which are specializing in BD/strip books, did dramatically change in my home town. So I have too “find” new publications, especially a bit more rare publications, such as the triage de tête and others are hard to find for me. Love that you showed the latest book, which I missed… Fantastic art, again. Lot’s of regards from Switzerland

The full understanding of Tsun's book actually comes from the more direct and poetic translation ... if yor mind is flexible enough on language , and unfortunately we in the west are most trained to seek single meanings from text. Like for Lao tze , and Chuang tze , there are complete and overlapping ...levels of comprehension. Theyre truly literary masterworks as fine as Shakespeare and Melville.

Very good, but it becomes painful when these words, spoken in a sweet, soft way (whispering) describe a situation we are living in, with increasing censorship (since that strange virus, to the current moment, in a certain country in the Americas)...

Nice video man keep it up

❤😂😂😂😂😂

It was a pleasure watching this talk about two of my favorite authors! The universe of Les Cités Obscures is very convincing and beautifully built. Please keep the good work.

Sun-Tuh-Zoo. The Chinese Prince Matchabelli

in the early 70s "The Art of War" was U.S. Army doctrine.....

Fascinating. Thank you for the introduction to the Obscure Cities. I will definitely check out some of these books

Reminds me of Gustave Dore's works. He also did a lot of Christian / Biblical scenes in a similar style.

As always, first class work and extremely intriguing. Well done! Thank you for opening my eyes to these wonderful novels!!!!!

Today I discovered your calm, insightful, educational and aesthetic presentations and look forward to to being informed and uplifted by the rest of your offerings. thank you

Phew! I’m glad you revealed halfway through the story that the passages to parallel cities are fictional. I was almost booking my ticket to Brussels to look for them! Thank you for introducing me to Les Cités Obscures. This episode is a wonderful tribute to two artists who enable us see reality through a fantasy lens, and, therefore, enhance the beauty and mystery of our world.

Πολύαινος, Στρατηγήματα. Polyaenus or Polyenus was a 2nd-century CE Greek author, known best for his Stratagems in War. You should include this book on your list

I’m not a war

My misses used the art of war against me she lured me with some leg showing then for the last 21 years she has kept me prisoner and she is a lier she keeps saying she's going to leave me but when I wake she is still there 😮😮

thanks

should we assume that science is the total knowing thanks for the job done

Dayunggg... what an intro 🔥

you should do a video on 33 strategies of war by robert green

My toxic trait is after studying books or videos on war, is thinking I can be a great general leading an army to war

This was an inspiring video, Lieven. I will turn 70 by the end of this year, and have not read anything by Kahlil Gibran, but now I will. The Prophet is now in my library of audiobooks, and i will listen while taking a long walk the Singapore's Botanic Garden, which is just behind where I live. Thank you for sharing your inspiration. 🙏

Thank you for uploading!

Thank you.

The Art of War is finite, the Bible is multiverse 👌

Great work buddy!! I find it quite helpful really appreciate the work you're doing Just read the book that to because of mike tyson

Vid sucks.

Thank you for this initiation into the Beauty of poetry, and adding a fourth B to BB@B.

The "three dimensions" are length, height and depth, not linear, square and cubic. But everything is cubic (solid), and the "three dimensions" are just points of views; in a fallen pole, for instance, what was height becomes lenght or depth. This is valid for any body (limited portion of matter). The same for time (which is dimension for energetic phenomenae), which may be past, present or future, depending on your point of view. And soon will accept the mind has three points of view: unconscious, conscient and super-conscient. Matter, Energy and Mind, the three manifestations of God.

I’m currently reading “Up in the Air”, the complete letters between the poets Elizabeth Bishop and Robert Lowell. The correspondence offers not only touching insight of the relationship of both poets, it also gives me an understanding of the workings of the poet’s minds, the way they structure their poetry and deeper understanding of the poems themselves. Might I also take this opportunity to say how much I enjoy your Utube posts which have led me into many new and insightful reading adventures, please keep them coming 🙏.

Inspiring channel

Your voice is like Werner Herzog's. I almost felt he was speaking when the video started!

Thank you for your insight and wisdom!

thanks for the three great videos about Bruegel. After watching them l bought the first book right away. Do you have a book about your observation theory?

I first read Gibran when I was 14, and he has become one of my favorite writers since. This is a wonderful episode about this great man and his favorite work! Well done!

This is a remarkable episode. It answered the same question I’ve had about the book and Gibran. His writings on Teaching and on Friendship have a new meaning for me. Seek good company, be fortunate to find good mentors. “Your friend is your needs answered. (…) If he must know the ebb of your tide, let him know its flood also.”

Happy birthday my friend!

You’ve once again moved me to purchase another book! Thank you!

Also, I apologize if you’ve already done this (I can’t find it). But I would love to see you do a video on The Book of Five Rings

Great video, I subscribed. Constructive criticism though, I don’t know if others agree with this but I find the cutaways with music to be distracting and very annoying. It throws off the linear progression of the explanations and analysis you are giving. I understand that not everything can be done in one take. Cutting the pieces in together without a transition as a lot of other creators do, and at least for me as much preferred. The constant cut aways/music is almost painful.

This is an eye opening book

Yep - this puts us into perspective

lol. When I play games. (Like assassin’s creed, Deus Ex HR/MD, or Batman Arkham…) I lure the enemy into my “mountain” I find a location with plenty of hidden nooks to hide in. I quietly exit and stalk the enemy, find a way to get one back to my “mountain” and take them out. Then when the others come to find the one that’s missing. I spring the trap.

Extremely helpful!!!! Thank you~

I read “The Art of War: Accurately Conveyed Edition” on Kindle and it is the most appropriately translated version ever. For example, it translated one of the five elements for victory "天时" into “Whether”, which is appropriate, rather than “Heaven” in other editions. The author has another book about the application in modern times.

I have yet to experience The Neverending Story, but I would suggest another novel, by the same author, titled "Momo". To me, it is a fine story, made for children, that every adult should read, and I am afraid it oftentimes does not get the recognition it also deserves.

I've been fortunate to have visited Nanjing twice, but one was for work, and I had no time for touring around. I have a cousin who lives in Nanjing, and I look forward to visiting him again, and will make a point of seeing this temple. Thank you for the recommendation.

I request you to make a comparison video between power and war.
