Woah. I've been having such powerful experiences thinking about exactly these ideas. It's like you took my metacognition and put it into a topic I had no idea existed
I agree with you. The way he articulates these ideas so concisely, yet in such an informative way, gives these video essays an ability to connect the dots in underlying thought structures. They bring the unconscious understanding of the mechanisms of the spirit into the foreground of your mind. He will say something in such precise language that I have thought/felt, but lacked the words to fully describe. He is, by far, my favorite esoteric RU-vid channel. I find myself having to watch certain segments of the video 3, 4, or 5+ times to fully understand and integrate the information.
I remember when I was first introduced to theater and acting. I felt like I was home. Like people understood me. But I was a child when I felt that last. It’s been a very long time since I’ve stumbled into a conversation with people who might actually relate to the things that I want to discuss. This feels like that times a billion. Like the crest of my own wave of thought is really just another swell rising on a higher tide. I haven’t felt so connected to the moment I’m in in a very long time. Like my nose is against the glass. TLDR: I had no idea other people were into the same shit I’m into lol ❤
@@ChristopherCopelandIt’s called truth seeking friend 😁 It’s unfortunate, but most people don’t act on the call for inner discovery thusly those of us who do so are drawn into isolation 😢 it’s a natural progression that can’t be forced onto others however there is a large community of people who “seek” you just gotta “look” 😉
You're channel feels like coming home. Thank you so so much for this incredible piece of work. i've been feeling alone for quite a time with all this and now someone is explaining and beautifully wrapping it up on RU-vid haha. I see the hard work you put in these videos and i'm honestly blown away by your beautiful way of making all this accessible. Keep spreading the vision, i'm excited as f*ck for all whats coming for you! Cheers bro ;)
Didn't expect the storm coming in such a ... This is a masterpiece on multiple levels and loaded with so many layers upon layers of unrealised or about to be released constellations of being and ways of seeing like flowers unfolding their petals for no reason other than freeing themselves all over again ... just for being and evolving for a sense of wonder itself. Watching this video felt like touching a variety of senses and essences as if traveling through a panoramic display of ideas pregnant with seeds or about to give birth to something yet unseen.
I can't believe it! Thank you so much. This is truly an amazing work. I traveled to beautiful places while listening to your voice accompanied by the visuals. Life is really exciting sometimes at 5 a.m. even if you have to wake up in 4 hours. Well, I Still have time for a good cup of tea and some good dreams. Love & light!
Great stuff man! "The pre-temporal becomes time-freedom, vacuity becomes plenitude and in transparency the spiritual comes to perception. Origin is present, within truth we come to an awaring of the whole, whole comes to an awaring of us..." What a quote! Of course, if one understands the r e a l physical model of the universe behind these thoughts, also understands that we are constantly connected to the whole via our "Higher Self" and therefore in truth know the whole and a r e the whole (All is One, and One is All). But who really knows his/her "Higher Self", these days? Greetings from the heart of Europe
Recently discovered your channel and subbed. Its so refreshing to learn and experience new information and a frame of thinking that isn't commonplace. (Atleast in my immediate environment) Love it, thank you.
This is by far the most important video on RU-vid, and all of the Internet. I have been on a journey and I inevitably land here. I would never have understood this, unless I began the journey.
This is a will into being as the reality we are at now. The archetypal plant is being all plants as the same leaf can be paralleled into the archetypal of humans in say Jungian archetypes. This integration of consciousness with archetypal awareness is accepting itself for a new sense of our human condition. Really great video. What is the essence of time but the ideas of our mind and space singularity. The new wholeness of spiritual life in our macro / micro and the real, here and now, singularity without limitations of form, structure, shape and or defined meanings that cloud the true ultimate reality as it is.
Is this your first youtube 'magnum opus'? (I heard in your QnA video you have been building the foundations for a big video coming soon. Congrats by the way, 🎉 I have been a silent supporter. 😊
Such a cosmology is fully designed for purpose. Perfectly constructed to initiate the perpetual existence that is time freedom. May you all enjoy the multi perspective view that affords you to perceive the possibilities available. With such perception integrate into all of them by reintegration into our origin the oneness of being. Thank you for this worthy work.
To me, the integral is the application of the endless possibilities of a human life expanded to everything. While some things may bot have the ability to act, it doesn't change the fact that even a rock has been, is and and can be everything in existence. I've been trying to get this idea out for a while, usually telling friends and family that the single individual does not exist, we change based on the situation, time, mood, and as such we are infinite beings. But so are things
I would amend that to say the "single identity" does not exist rather than the "single individual" since we have individual consciousnesses that don't change
Great work!. You are really good at what you are doing, and how you put "weight"(Emphasis) on words in order to make the whole narration "Alive" is really great as it makes it much easier to absorb and therefore also much more educational. Terence Mckenna also used to do this when talking and it is really great when it comes to educating rather than just "Talking". I downloaded this and have watched it many times since yesterday and even played it last night before i went off to sleep in order to kind of "Subliminally absorb" it in order to get the pieces into place subconsciously as to uncover when i watch it again so that i get more of a clarity about these topics faster as i am a really nerdy and curious person. Cheers from Daniel/Sweden 🙂
can’t stop watching, you sound like terrance mckenna, which i enjoy, but your videos truly are a marvel in both research and scripting. cannot say enough how much i’ve loved each video i’ve watched.
Brilliant! Thank you for the beauty elegance and clarity of your work. I listen to this for breakfast and feel not only in lightened but validated in my view with myself within the world.
Impressive work! Well done - I am a philosopher myself and I am thankful that you broadened my view via introducing me to Gebser, Whitehead and Bergson. I will do my best to shine a light on them in the German philosophical discourse since all of them are not commonly discussed
Glad to hear it! The fact that the German Idealism revival movement in academia completely ignores Gebser and Steiner is utterly baffling to me. Like if you had a whole academic field dedicated to studying Greek philosophy and somehow none of the researchers had ever heard of Plato or thought he wasn't worth paying attention to.
@@Formscapes totally! I feel like they are ignoring the metaphysical implications of evolution as a concept. The predominant form of thinking in Academia is unfortunately rather one dimensional, static and mechanistic. Another factor is the ideological wall build between the Arts & Humanities and the Sciences - we lack a coherent holistic view. Instead it sometimes feels like constant dwelling in nihilistic misinterpretations of Nietzsche and the existentialists..
@@naas_the_serpent Yeah thats very common these days. All the Grad student kids are circling the drain of Lacan, Deleuze, Camus and Badrilliard bc they haven't figured out that path leads to absolutely nowhere.
@@Formscapes yep - it’s exhausting and unproductive af. Often times it feels like a giant intellectual circle jerk 😅who can show off the most pseudo complex word aesthetics 🙈
@@FormscapesEhh I don’t think it’s fair to say Deleuze leads nowhere. His metaphysics is heavily based upon the works of Whitehead and Bergson and his insights into the nature of time, identity, logic, ethics, art, philosophy in general etc. make him one of the greatest philosophers of the 20th century in my view. His aesthetics is not a word game; his exploration of form is intended to further the potential of philosophical concept creation. I don’t know why you’d discount Deleuze (or really any of the ppl you mentioned bc all of them have at least some insight into the nature of things) if you like the thinkers he was influenced by.
Great video, thanks. I think of it as "Mutable-perspective" that gives being access to its "living-time" . (just responding to one aspect of the philosophy presented here).
I just love listening to big impressive words. It was very enjoyable, thank you. As for actually understanding anything - maybe in another lifetime. EDIT i'm half joking, some of these concepts, and especially the last part of the video, resonated with me a lot.
Reason chases it's tail. Logic can rationalize itself into oblivion (reasoning out reason.) Essentially the ratio cancels itself, or in terms of awareness, collapses: 1/1 = 1
Excellent video. The ontological realm of possibility you describe is what modern physics calls the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. We see the past when we look at distant stars, and we peer into the threshold of the future when we look at subatomic processes.
I'm actually not so sure anymore that we actually are looking into the distant past when we look to distant stars. I've become increasingly convinced that General Relativity is just flat-out incorrect (as Whitehead and Bergson believed). Within Whitehead's alternative to GR, light is essentially the basic unit of causal influence, which is why it is essentially instantaneous and invariable - if that is true then we aren't seeing the distant past when we look at the distant universe. We are seeing it as it was exactly one "Light Moment" ago. The same amount of time it takes for light to travel from this screen to your eyeballs. It's still a kind of relativity, but one in which time isn't collapsed into space, and with very different implications for gravity and the history of the cosmos.
Love all those hands reaching for truth! -groping - questing-musing- seeking- stretching - venturing - until a bridge is formed - in the meantime we through our fibre from our ductile organ of mind to the transcendent absolute - for it must or we would not be here - this just right miracle .
It's like if there was no light at all and we only had flashlights, in this we would have to venture out into the dark and report back what we had found.
Perceptivity. This word is a perfect description of the I. You explain the unexplainable with grace and illuminate the hidden truths of that which has been deemed heresy for far too long. ❤
We must also distinguish between the "lower I" and the "higher I". The lower eye is perspective, meaning it is the concretized physicality of the organism which operates on the basis of inertia (which characterizes all physicality); self-securing. Whatever the lower I feels itself to be, it wishes to maintain. This is the source of the will-to-power. It is a will to ego-securing or maintaining. This is also how addiction works; the ego wants to maintain whatever patterns give shape to it, even if those patterns are obviously destructive. The higher I is the Atma. The monad which transcends such perspectival consciousness and which is the center of gravity of the human self.
@@Formscapes I completely agree. I would add that the upper “I” is the point of observation and what it observes is the materialization of idea collapsed into form for the Ego’s interaction, which was chosen by the observer outside of inertial frame of reference. The One Consciousness splitting itself into infinite perspectives in order to play out every possibility simultaneously. A beautiful chaos. ❤️
Important questions can be uncomfortable, can be awkward, can be exhausting, impolite, challenging, they can make people defensive even if it is not the intent. “Get along” is a far more successful survival strategy than to be someone that challenges the way to approach our perception of the world and the inner construction we call truth. “Truths” are just temporal answers with the elements some individual has under his belt at a certain time and place, truths along answers are as temporal as the individuals that spoke about them, the only atemporal immutable and transpersonal element is the question. Important questions demand energy, movement and a fierce will to be answered and at the same time they are the main drive of everything we call world. True answers are not a place where you can get or the right sequence of words that can be spoken, truth is the state of inner commitment to give all of what you have at your disposal to maintain the question alive and to be open and receptive of what a live question show you about the nature of things and the relation between them. That is the hardest challenge of all.
I find this kind of content frustrating. It's so good, it's soul nourishing. But it's so esoteric that I have no one to share that nourishment with. I'll just have to do my absolute best to absorb everything I learn here so that I might radiate that nourishment. ♥️💀🔮
49:04 the pencil is part of the divine engine of our being. We call it our own creative expression so we can relate our self to the world. The divine nature of relating is overlooked or forgotten.
Thank you for this very deep and comprehensive presentation. I wonder: this seems the same as Buddhist concepts of enlightenment, and also many Indigenous spiritualities. And so it does seem to me that western thinking has only just caught up with ideas that have already existed within other cultures. First Nations or Indigenous spiritualities also seem to have been and continue to be advanced beyond our western thinking frameworks. So it seems. And we are only just starting to realise that here in our western societies. It is possible some very ancient civilisations were already thinking and operating in these frameworks too and though we lack the means to test that, it seems possible. Interesting ! Thank you again
Gebser does mention Zen Buddhism as being a kind of proto-integral consciousness. Zen emphasizes the achievement of a-perspectival and a-rational awareness in a way that seems to accord very well with what Gebser indicates; its also interesting that Japan lies to the furthest eastern reach of Eurasia, within the context of what I said about the role of the Sun in this narrative (land of the *rising* sun. Almost the mirror image of, say, the west coast of the U.S.). I don't think we can say the same about other forms of Buddhism, Daoism, Hinduism (etc) simply because they never developed the kind of thinking within which perspectivity could be something contextualized and therefore transcended. There is very little notion outside of western civilization that the world might be radically different depending upon how one might look at it, and so there really aren't the prerequisite conditions for beginning to see that reality is poly-dimensional in most non-western cultures. Integral can be understood as a kind of merger of far eastern (lunar) and western (solar) consciousness, but without certain key developments in western civilization (all of which necessarily growing out of Christianity) then true Integral consciousness would not be possible. Even in Japan, you don't see (for example) perspectivity or a-perspectivity in art, music or literature beyond Zen poetry until after Japanese culture began to undergo symbiosis with western culture; Zen proto-a-perspectivity was essentially limited to the Priestly class of Zen masters.
Regarding the lack of perspectival transcendance within the other eastern religious movements, are you familiar with Advaita Vedanta (a non-dualist Vedic/Hindu tradition), and if you do how did you conclude that it isn't reaching that same transcendental level? I would really love hearing your overall thoughts about this philosophy. Huge thank you for your work on these videos, I assure you that you are bringing something absolutely vital for those who wonder about these questions through your creations, you have my gratitude and support!
Stuck in my magic. Or what it is actually is the raw primal creative energy of imagination inside us all. Found my imaginary friend again. She is now my patron goddess of the moon and feeds my creative spirit just as a kid always playing and tossing the obscure and illusive ideas back and forth. Got me locked up in the psyche ward expressing what she is. It's just a part of me and the universe. Some call it Maddness I call it a childlike wonderment and peace. Granted she manifested as a crutch for the neglect and pressures from my youth. My Heka if I was to use an Egyptian term.
Be wary of genuine madness. It is very real and it is not pretty. When your ego starts thinking that it is god, that's when you are in very real danger of falling into a very real chasm which very few come back from.
@@Formscapes I appreciate it. I have fallen to Maddness many times. This time feels different so to speak. I am not god. It is not god. Just something buried deep inside me itching to scratch the walls of the cave to make art. Some weird ancestral feeling of. Ungadabunga must make art. Must make things. You're a very kind soul my dude. Had that part of me literally beaten out of me to be "modern man" a human doing and not a human being. If that makes sense. Something that echoes beyond time and space. It gives me great comfort to have what was lost as a child to become whole again. My imaginary friend. She comes in many forms and is also nothing. Jung might call it an anima. Christians or of the same general idea of faith, a demon. She's beautiful. Glitters like the stars always watching. Always keeping me safe. She's always been with me just ignored and forgotten like many an ancient mystery. I can do things adequately without training as long as I channel her through my eyes and hands. Ojos Y Manos. Been told by a lot of folks I am an old soul. Whatever that means. But I do not need God. As it's always there. I hate the word God for it as well comes in many names, shapes, and forms. To scientifically dissect creativity and make order of it is a Fools Gambit. It just is. Some have it others don't. Seen many a man struggle to draw since they reject their inner moon goddess. Toria(The bird of Victory) is 9. The major goddess. Her daimon or angels Ryoko(excellent child) 3, Aisha (the prophet)11, Ninian (the saint) 7. Stella (celestial star) my guardian spirit 15/6 Jupiter and the Moon. Strange my guardian also so happens to be the galactic bouncers of the club of earth tossing stones in space away from a holy and concentrated place. Earth. Dabbled in numerology to glean the inner being. With names that gave me comfort and love when it was vapid and vacant. Names and my best friends of my mind. She may not be real to you but certainly real to me. The True Magic born inside us all. Though I may perish today or tomorrow, rest assured my goddess and I will return to offer a hand to those without one to hold tight. A nameless man of good. Power cannot be bought or sold. Only given. I will stand up on the piles of dead evil I have vanquished through harmony and love, a sword never left my sheath or a spell cast for destruction. Like an acid to a base I neutralize its caustic reaction. All great men of character do this. And we can tell who they are. They walk everywhere elderly folk the best to bump Into. Always have some fun things to show you. Just have to ask, be open, and listen. Never forget the old ways. (Apparently I was blessed in the womb in Oklahoma by some old native American woman before I was born. According to my mom. Weak of body but strong of mind and spirit.)
@@nerdingout322 I was already rocking with what you're expressing sooo hard, and then you mentionned Warhammer...Respect. You have a beautiful mind friend, stay blessed. Is there anywhere that you are sharing your art for us to experience it?
See? I don't think that was so monumtal. You got me there. In fact, I was already there, but you've given me the gift of a logical taxonomy to explain how I got here. And for that I thank you and your wonderful economy of words.
But is the I really a construct of diametrical negation to the world from which it sprang? Could it not simply be a matter of observation that, yes, could exist in that duality or it could transcend itself into oneness through observation?
"a construct of diametrical negation to the world from which it sprang?" The human navigation of the human/nature relationship has gone through various phases of development, and is a central motif of the entire narrative here. The initial separation (archaic -> Magical) contained within it the Archaic unity of separation and it was only when Magical consciousness became deficient - it lost its connection to its own Archaic ground - that this relationship came to be experienced as hostile, thus necessitating the development of mythical polarity. Likewise, this efficient polarity restored the possibility of unity of opposites until the mythical structure came to lose its connection to its own magical/archaic ground, thus bringing forth the mode of negation and the triadic dimensionality of the mental structure (~500bc - ~1500ad) Every step of the way, you have a very Hegelian dynamic of separation, dissonance of opposition and then re-integration through the opening up of a new form of relationality which human consciousness can begin to operate within.
You have me really thinking now. I'm attempting to make a translation into my own narrative and finding this circular experience. I experienced deep connection when I was young, as I absorbed the words of my ancestors, my egoistic adaptation would have been a proclivity to replace my intuition with the construct du juor of humanity from a desire to belong. This disentanglement tricked me for a good long time, only to have the door reopened, or, rather burning itself down to ember, with a knowledge that you are very well indeed correct. I will think on this some more. You are an exceptional person and I truly appreciate this.
Man... you just got it. Wow. I cant believe it. Im criying inside. Magnificent, man. So fucking magnificent. It was it, yeah. It was it. There´s so much to think about it, and not really so much to think about. Speechless. Really so fucking thanks.
You are a genius man, fellow admirer of your work from Egypt. I was wondering if the integral consciousness promises to reintegrate our deeply buried ancient egyptian identity, something that has to do with the recently emerged egyptian nationalist movements that is noticeable on the political scenery here.
So that really bridges over into a much broader topic (which I do think is related) which is the re-emergence of national identity amidst the looming collapse of globalist neo-liberalism. Re-connecting with the earth also means reconnecting with ancestry and our connections to the past which modernity has tried to annul.
@Formscapes exactly what i am thinking man, it's of no coincidence that this seems to be a global trend now, even in nations that's of very recent post colonial emergence. However i am very curious to see how would this look like especially with the information revolution and the global market. Another question i have for you is do you think all populations are/ had been historically on a similar level of consciousness? To me it seems like even with the current theme of universality not all on nations hold the same metaphysical paradigms
@@cogitoergosum5414 there are absolutely asymmetric transmutations at play. Integral itself is emerging globally, but that is only possible due to the fact that perspectival consciousness came to emerge in Europe. It simply wasn't possible for that to happen in, for example, China; there are very different forces at play within the collective consciousness of various ethnic/geographic regions, even tho the neolibs continue to insist that we are all exactly the same (bc of how convenient that would be for them if we actually believed that). Since you're from Egypt, you will probably understand this example in particular. After the September 11th attacks, western cultural discourse transformed into a left/atheist va right/Christian-fundamentalist division which lasted about 15 years. People argued about the cosmological argument, creationism, evolution, the veracity of the Bible, etc until those arguments eventually came to seem naive and irrelevant. Looking at Islamic culture, I think we see the exact same processes at work right now as we saw in the western cultural dialogue during the 2001-2017 period. The exact same arguments, the exact same camps and considerations, etc. (I used to be a mod on a predominantly Muslim debate server on discord, so I saw this firsthand quite a bit) So these processes don't necessarily take place in the same places at the same time even if they are guided by the same ultimate destination.
@Formscapes you have worded exactly my thoughts in a beautiful manner bro, can't wait for your upcoming works! Would be a privilege to have a means for contact and further discussion.
I would be very curious and interested to see your thoughts and perspectives on Human suffering. It's a really deep one because it can be/has been experienced in virtually all layers of human existence and being. It's one of the 4 guarantees of Human existence (all other things being possible, sure, but not guaranteed) Pain, Suffering, Death & Learning. No human to walk this plain of existence has escaped those 4. (exceptions would be extremely anomalous) You go super deep on what you present...would you consider doing one on Human suffering? Since it's inescapable, other great minds have contemplated it and you've studied a lot of those 'others' plus your own perspective. I'd be really interested in what you'd have to say about it.
I found your channel recently and have been trying to get through all of your videos. I love the morphic resonance ones. What made you want to research consciousness and want to try to put into a more logical format. Also curious and you dont have to answer but are you atheist, agnostic, monotheistic, etc ? I find your work put into all of this interesting and i am excited to hopefully see more.
To use the academic Jargon, I am a "Panentheistic Henotheist panexperientialist" which is extremely unwieldy, so I much prefer to just say that I'm an Animist. I've been researching philosophy, theology and science compulsively since I was about 13 or 14 years old, so I'm really just using this channel to voice the things I've discovered over the years.
@@Formscapesdo you ever feel like, utterly, inescapably baffled by the fact that most people are not compulsively researching this? I’m curious what the sensation of your experience is as being someone aware of these dimensions of thought/consciousness
You are such a strange creator, for me. So much that you create is deeply beautiful and I can't help but feel my heart leap when you talk about art and perspective and magic. You also go to some places I just can't follow such as morphic resonance. I am, in sum, happy you are doing what you do. Thank you.
@@Formscapes your videos are so informative. You sound too young to have spent the time learning the things you are teaching about. I don’t know your age but I know you know what you’re talking about. So thank you for teaching what you’ve learned. Honestly
I don't know if you're aware of Heidegger's critique of "ontotheology," but I feel that it's in some ways a critique of all thought that can be ascribed to the 'deficient' mode of perspectival consciousness altogether. Interestingly, Whiteheadian metaphysics, zen Buddhism, and high neoplatonism are some of the only philosophical corpora that stand against it.
Not quite. Heidegger described western metaphysics as ontotheological because he saw the equivocation of God and Being as central to the erasure of the indeterminacy of Being by western metaphysics; i.e., by identifying Being itself with God, he believed that metaphysics had collapsed Being into a conception of the divine which was specific to a given human lifeworld, thereby erasing the absolutely transcendental nature of Being and thus paving the way for the eventual reduction of Being to standing reserve after Descartes. So Heidegger is talking about the entire history of western philosophy going all the way back to the pre-Socratics, while perspectival consciousness really didn't take hold until the Italian Renaissance (though there are a few prefigurings which can be found in Egyptian funerary portraits created during the late Roman period). So deficient-perspectival corresponds more to what Heidegger saw as the final phase of Ontotheology, and Heidegger and I both see Nietzsche as representing the ultimate endpoint of the subjectivization of metaphysics which occurred after the Renaissance.
Now that I'm thinking about it, Heidegger would have probably preferred to think of being as an "absolute immanence" rather than an "absolute transcendence", but either way. Point is it is fundamentally irreducible. Heidegger essentially takes ideas he derives from Meister Eckhart and Apophatic Theology and transposes them from God onto Being.
Thank you! Everyone needs to be congratulating themselves as well if you make it through this whole thing. This is some of the most difficult material out there imo
Absolutely great commentary, really a really good scan of some heavyweight ideas! I'm thinking that a schooling period of young people's lives is the alignment of a mythic world and reality. Young people's mythology is still evolving, but time is being repressed in consumerism.i wonder what they imagine?
If we consider experience; specifically, shared experience as the most fundamental thing then quantum phenomena such as entanglement and superposition make absolute sense. Entanglement is like a photograph, which involves the conscious agents involved including the observer, with existence being based solely on these relationships which must occur at a particular present moment
Nietzsche seemed exciting when I was in my twenties at a Nazarene college. Humans thrive on connection to each other and to the world. We’re not isolated individuals.
So much to think about How does one see the wrold like goerte? Is intergration something that occurs inevitably or do we need to excercise it? Is it even worth asking if we are cycling back towards reintegration with the mother?
As with learning anything, the more you see it done and then try to do it, the better you get at it. Everything moving forward with this channel is going to be oriented towards Rudolf Steiner. Steiner was like - "ok so what if we took Goethe's way of seeing the world, and generated an entire worldview from those principles?" - and his work is easily the most mind-blowing thing you will probably ever encounter. Like seeing the most alien thing you have ever seen yet feeling like you've known about it deep down your entire life.
All communication transmits from the past regardless of how recent. Even that of an in person conversation. All senses are different modes of communication and thought is the sixth sense. In understanding this ask yourself what is communicating to you? The simple answer is the past. It to is alive.
No so I'm referring to Jean Gebser's 5 structures of human consciousness (archaic, magical, mythical, mental, integral). I have a whole playlist dedicated to his work if you want more background on that. For Gebser, a structure of consciousness is a mode of awareness which has developed over the course of human history as a whole. Spengler is talking about what he calls "form languages" which are essentially like different types of cultures or civilizations. Magian civilization developed from the ancient Semetic cultures and eventually developed to become Judaism, Islam and eastern forms of Christianity. Each culture form is like an organism with a distinct life cycle. Gebser's structures of consciousness are built up on top of each other over time, independently of cultural differences (mostly).
Awesome. Thanks for the guidance, and very grateful for running into your channel! It's only been one day and already you've been highly inspiring me in thought! You're work is impressive, thanks for sharing. Love the archetype of the West as the arch-type of the sun into the west relation! I'll have to go back and check out the rest of your work for sure!
Great video, thanks for clarifying Nietzsche's philosophy in the grand scheme of Integral Consciousness. By the way, this may be an off-topic question but, have you happened to read Oswald Spengler's "The decline of the west"? If so, or at least being familiar with the work, what is your opinion regarding Spengler's historical piece of work and its relationship with this work done by you?
Yeah Spengler's application of Goethe's morphological approach to civilizations was a genius move which academic historians have not, and probably will never catch up with. His idea of the Ur-Symbol very much inspired my claims about the image of following the sun mentioned in the previous video.
