Demiurge stuff 😍

First here to prove how autistic I am

I misread the title as "Macron". Didn't have him pegged as a hermeticist, but I'm admittedly no expert on French politics.

Eeeey the team up we always need! Keep up the great work, gentlemen 👏⚒️ This discussion is timely- I'm nose-deep in Hanegraaf, Bull, and Fowden for the talk coming up next month

"The liberation of existence through Occultism is the dissolution of the ego into the shadows of the unknown, where the spirit breaks free from the chains of matter and merges with the infinite."

Like, didnt we just stream 😂

I rather pay him full price for the book directly via pdf - no publisher needed.

Sorry I missed the Live (power out). For those who haven’t read The Evil Creator, please grab a copy. It is quite readable, tons of notes (more books to find 😆). Fully intend to read more of his work. Thanks for having Litwa join you, Dr Sledge. ❤

Love the Life of Brian work in.... We are all individuals..... I'm not...

Definitely hyped about more Gnostic lore 🫡🫡👏👏🌞

I always eagerly await any of your work regarding the hermetica, so I was so excited to see this come across my feed. Thank you!

Dr. Litwa is amazing! I can't wait to listen to this.

We must really be special today😇😇😇

I am subscribed to Dr Litwa.

I love you channel. As a Christian I might disagree with some of your interpretations of early Christianity but your material always enriches my knowledge and understanding. I have one slight criticism. When you discuss Christians in the 2nd century latching onto Egyptian mythology for its antiquaty as others latched onto Jewish. The Jewish connection was origianal, with both Jesus and his disiples being Jewish. The oldest Christian writings are the New Testement books and they are steeped in Jewish beliefs.

"You better behave yourself, little mister! I know your dad!" me, to the demiurge, when something unpleasant threatens to happen. (If i get in trouble for it, I'm blaming this channel.)

Thanks

Great talk! I appreciate so much both of your works

Dr. Litwa is one of my favorite scholars not named Justin Sledge.

Question! At present, which translation of the corpus hermeticum do you recommend while we wait for the new releases? Also do you happen to know if maybe there's a better spanish translation?

Are we ever find more lost gospels!

Dole Office Clerk: Occupation? Comicus: Stand-up philosopher. Dole Office Clerk: What? Comicus: Stand-up philosopher. I coalesce the vapors of human experience into a viable and meaningful comprehension. Dole Office Clerk: Oh, a *bullshit* artist!

Isn't it fascinating that modern historical science and philolohy may cast light on ancient mysteries, despite so many intelligent people having mulled over it in the past? - Adûnâi

Love Dr. Litwa, been subscribed since the last time you were drawing on his knowledge and sending people his way and I do not regret it, his channel deserves to blow up!

Great video, As someone who owns Clement Salaman, Dorine van Oyen, William D. Wharton, and Jean-Pierre Mahe translation I can't wait to read this new translation. I Cannot wait to see what was a editon and how this is ordered. Can not wait.

How does the demiurge tie in with Kabbalistic concept of emanations? Which came first, and is there an overlap?

These conversations are so important, Dr. Litwa is one of my favorite author/researcher and so to see you both get at the core of these topics is wonderful

wow what a guest, what a creator. Two brilliant minds. Excellent!

Good luck to Dr Litwa Education for life should be a core principle of civilised societies.

Probably it was a sect that use hermetic a books with magical amulets like Valentin Ian Marcus.

You had me at Demiurge.... more on this topic!

Another awesome episode of Erotica, thanks prof

New intro. Nice.

Just bought the book cant wait to listen.

Very Demiurge, very Marcion

Anatolian theologian is fun to say.

2 vids in one day. Thank you so much 🙏🏾

How do you measure half an urge? 🤔

Two of my favourite youtubers.

Yrs its on audible!! ❤

You know what i cannot comprehend? The "count down" before the christ came. If we look at older calenders like the mayan calender they were not counting down to anything. Do you know how backwards that would work to count down the date instead of what we are doing now wich is count forward. I mean think about it. Something happend and what we are told makes no sense what so ever. Time keeping back then would be so weird, just saying. Cheers

Hell yeah 🖤👽🤘

At last!!

Is there a way we could speak, didn’t see a message button on your patreon

Great!

So, is Mead's Translation completely unreliable?

As per the unethical academic "cartel" -- I would love to potentially discuss a new venture with Dr. Litwa and yourself, actually. ;)

Make great evil scholarly again.. boy did I get that word order wrong somehow???

very demure

BABE WAKE UP, NEW ESOTERICA VIDEO RATED TO THE DEMIURGE DROPPED

This is such an amazing coincidence, I finished reading The Evil Creator just a few days ago. Looking forward to the video :)

0:30 - I had to really squint at the screen for a bit because that background made Litwa look MEGA RICH, and I was immediately sus about conspicuous consumption and how he makes so much money to afford a house like that... But after he moved and I saw some white pixel-ghosting along the side of his head and sleeve, I realized it was a background-replacement filter. Suddenly felt MUCH better. This is that AI takeover in action, fr. If it had been SUPER out there, like pretending to stream from deep in a forest or underwater or Mars, I wouldn't fear it, cuz it was so OBVIOUSLY false. But the fact that it's so CLOSE to reality... That's the dangerous part. We'll never be afraid of robots with metal tube arms. But the Stepford Wives fooled everyone until it was too late... Sorry, that was mega off-topic, but it really made me suspicious of him, and that's not what either of the hosts want, I'm sure!

Demiurge is the husk or the trash that comes from God creating pure goodness or a man trying to eat more each day rather than share

hell yes
