Hi RU-vid! I'm a lecturer in the departments of Philosophy and Humanities & Religious Studies at California State University in Sacramento. If you don't like lectures with music, move on... nothing to see here. The move to online with the pandemic has been wild, & doing 4 or 5 of these a week, I realize there are imperfections. I'm not trying to take over RU-vid or anything, just sharing. If you want to follow along with readings in a course, go to mathiaswarnes.com for course materials. Happy listening!
I’d love to watch this video but I couldn’t even make it five minutes because the distracting music. You do have a nice voice as others have commented, but the music just overpowers it. I prefer when people don’t have music competing with their narration but if you have to have music because you think it helps people pay attention, just make it something soft. Definitely do not use something with a lot of percussion and whistling.
Although i want to be her cup bearer , feed her grapes and fan her, is only because i love powerful woman . Other than that while nimma cried for us as the flood washed the earth screaming my babies , innna only cried for all the accomplishments that they built, being destroyed. She is the inspiration for liltith being a rebel as representation of her . She hustled her power with deception and tricks . ( which i understand its a males world) she was handed the asia minor and became ameratsu in japan . Her law from the code of ishtar made it to the holy bible . Thou shalt not bear false witness , which is a law 1000 years before code of hamurabi. ( eye for an eye ) she is the reason for easter not jesus and if you want her merch just get her cup from strabucks filled with something refreshing . Yes thats innana as the logo . They just did a commercial playing a old rap song that says na na na na na na na na in the hook . It flew over all the sheeps head 😂
Wow just stumbled across your absolute gem of a youtube channel. Subbing now. I agree with the other post regarding appealing aesthetic of your channel. It makes it all so much more enjoyable.
The last section went off the rails when you decided to go woke. And I'm African, from Africa lol. The way you westerners patronize us sometimes is disgusting
I actually didn't like the music but it kind of grew on me as I listened to the masterful teachings one of the last great Neo Platonists. Thanks for the upload bro!
Always crazily in depth and thorough as possible within a couple of hours. Thank u for all of this work. I especially like the comparison of Zeus, Apollo, Jesus and Dionysus in the back half. Wow
I was looking forward to learning something but the music was so loud even louder than your voice I mean you don't need music you should be confident in your own voice when I go to college to listen to a lecture the lecturer does not have full blown music in the background
Thank you so much for the deep dive good sir 🙌 I'll be sure to share this with everyone i know who takes an active interest in psychedelia and it's studies. Your content is much appreciated 🙏
I like your lectures. But the background music makes them difficult to listen to. I would listen to more if they didn't include the pointless soundtrack
Nice show. Well researched. But you should consider that the Poets of Old were giving life lessons, so you should have interpreted it as a story about you, personally, and your own struggles in life. I know you were following a book, just saying. Do yourself a favour and take your favourite Greek myth. Wiktionary has the most fantastic ancient Greek dictionary because many etymologies from modern languages are based on it. Did you know that a Greek audience hearing the work Kerberos could also hear the words "Death Pain" or "Heart Burden"? That certainly changes the meaning of Hercules being forced to conquer it without the use of mortal weapons (through effort and Will, he carries the heart burden out of Hell). Did you know Lerna means "Spring", and so the Lernian Hydra can also be the hydra of the Spring (of thoughts)? The Birds of the White Wall [of Mist] also takes on a new meaning if you are familiar with meditation and the manner that images form in the mind as if condensing from clouds (for lack of a physical equivalent to compare it to).
I wasn’t going for Gilgamesh as a Herculean soul mirror for modern men here, but I do cover Pannwitz and Nietzsche on this at the end. Make your version so the mirror fits right!
The renunciation of sexual urges is usually a very sacred commitment. If your mind were not polluted by politics you could see the beautiful symbolism in the renunciation that you so politically call misogynistic. You probably missed entirely that Hercules is a story that glorifies and worships Hera (who provides the Struggles that forges Great Men). It is the renunciation of Ishtar that causes Gilgamesh's Animal half (Enkidu) to die off. This is part of the instructions. Like all mythology, it serves as instructions to follow. Seeing Gilgamesh and Enkidu as two separate characters is like failing to notice that both of them are you, and their journey is your Soul's Journey (just like each and every other myth)
It looks like you come to this channel to throw your weight around a little insultingly. Of course I can see that reading of Tablet VI, but I wanted to explore Ishtar’s side here. I really wouldn’t mind if you stopped commenting on my channel. I talk about the twin or double aspect Gilgamesh/Enkidu a fair bit and the Jung/Freud correspondence on it.
@@mathiaswarnes6350 Perhaps, but wokeness in general is the greatest blasphemy I have seen and the misery it brings is proof. You are not dealing with dead stories here, the fundamental nature of these stories is religious. What kind of religion treats its sacred myths as entertainment in the modern world, so why apply that lens to the ancient world. Once the entertainment factor is taken out, the myths become instructions. You will be blind to those instructions if you think concepts like modern feminism or modern political identity constructions have anything to add. They don't.
I’m not a historian so wouldn’t know, but there seems to be a lot on this from a simple google search, including DNA based hypotheses that the Sumerians arrived from India, and more substantive evidence of early trade routes. The Sumerian language being an isolate probably complicates the picture. But it’s not a subject I’ve read anything about.
At 10:00 you make a mistake by calling the King of Palenque, who's name is K'inch Hanaab Pakal, by the fake name Pakal Votan. That name was used by Jose Arguelles to promote his fake Mayan calendar, the "Dreamspell." The Maya never used the name "Votan", that was a Catholic intrusion in the mid-1800s.
I am Wixarika and have thee hardest time reconnecting due to not being able to learn Spanish and being so disconnected. Thank you so much for posting this on RU-vid and being so respectful.
