I just gotta say that these videos are a real treasure. As a painter and an artist in general, being able to absorb this kind of content while I make my work is so valuable. That's why I love your channel so much. It feels as if your work sits at the nexus of philosophy, magic, and art. It has so much potential and I'm sure you're going to do great work through this community you're building.
Dear Formscapes team, I want to express my profound gratitude for providing such an enriching and fascinating space to explore topics that extend beyond the conventional boundaries of knowledge. As a self-taught psychonaut, your channel has become an immense source of wisdom for me. Your dedication to synthesizing diverse philosophical, psychological, and spiritual currents has been truly inspiring. From the depths of psychology to the most cutting-edge theories, such as Rupert Sheldrake's morphic resonance, Formscapes has become for me a beacon of knowledge at the edge of human understanding. I am deeply thankful for the profound impact your content has had on my personal journey. With heartfelt gratitude
Just had a video of yours recommended to me the other day and boy am I glad I found this channel. The couple videos I’ve watched already have resonated deeply and speak to a lot of my direct perceived experience. I expect this one to be no different.
What distinguishes these videos for me in regard to all others I have listened to on RU-vid is that these videos can be listened to over and over again with always the feeling of learning something new, or in new ways stimulating my imagination and creativity. It is like always realizing each time; Oh, I missed that. Or I did not think or consider that perspective. It never feels like a waste of time to listen over again no matter how many times one does that which I have done.
I love your channel so much. I'm been into Process Theology for ages, and I believe that's why I was recommended your channel to begin with. But you have some of the clearest explanations of Process I've seen. I recommend your videos to my students and they have nothing but good things to say about them. So, thank you for taking your time and providing us with such high quality and excellent videos. Be well.
@@Dulceria-La-Princesitawhat makes you think it’s the astrologer’s schedule an appointment is required for? I have a personal medium friend who I still agree on a date and time for a reading with.
27:20 I've been doing this with my own suffering all my life - giving meaning to it in what I myself describe as the tragic beauty of the experience. It allows me to forgive the pain inflicted upon me by those I care deeply about and leads to a new level of relating that allows me to accept them just as they are. In that I've developed unbreakable bonds with people I can truly relate to, and as a result we all have a much better understanding of ourselves. It's a beautiful thing.
Listening, and reading others' comments, lets me know I am in the best of company! Such a compendium of knowledge is rarely encountered. Wish I could have you to tea...💐
I received a cute written note from my 5 year old, she asked, "mommy, is nothing something?" And I was so proud of her and reassured she will be ok and truly is my daughter ❤
Thanks for this beautiful and meaningful understanding. The joy of being mixed with a calm and melancholic developing that makes itself, just to remember and to reach inwards for the totality. An underrated channel with a lot of passion and work that may be not for everyone but should be.
I was dead for 7 minutes. I experienced it as being 'taken up' into a beautiful opalescent white Light which I perceived to be God. While cradled in the Light, I felt the quintessential boundless joy, infinite bliss, perfect forgiveness; as well as profoundly loved and cherished beyond measure. I realized that there were those who would not know that (not 'could not', but stubbornly 'WOULD not') and I wept for them. As I wept, that which differentiated me from the Light dissolved. There was NOTHING BUT the Light; and the Light was ME. As the Light, I knew that I was an eternal being and I had no beginning or ending. Time meant nothing; it was both an instance and an eternity, all at once. All too soon, 'that which differentiated me' returned and I felt my consciousness being pulled back into my body. I can only describe it as a sort of spiritual 'rending'. Previous indoctrination told me that Heaven was an end point, not a way station. I realized that Hell wasn't 'not getting to go to Heaven'; rather it was knowing God and never getting to go back to that state. I was terrified. Then a 'voice' or more like a 'knowingness' told me, "Despair not; for the Light is what you are and the Light is what you WILL BE. There is NO WAY to fall from Grace". Then I woke up to the resuscitation efforts of others. It took me about three months to wrap my head around the experience. Not 'going to the Light', but the fact that I came back. Research into the matter revealed that it was most likely a result of my pineal gland dumping a DMT-like hormonal cocktail when my brain sensed death was imminent. It's OK if complete death results in fading to nothingness; our last corporeal thought is, "Wow! I really DO go on forever". What happens after that doesn't really matter.
Woke up to this gem, what a great way to start the morning ❤ Dreamtime is fascinating along with magical consciousness in understanding how resonance reawakens us to thousands of years of information and behavior across space and time.
A lot of people have trouble thinking outside the paradigm of materialism and empiricism because they are some of the most basic assumptions in modern society, but these assumptions fall apart when you question them. They presuppose that empirical data is the only path to knowledge, but where is the empirical data which tells them this? Even Quine admitted that there is no epistemological justification in materialism and he was a materialist atheist himself!
Considering that the majority of people on the planet are not materialists( think about religions, spiritualism/mysticism), the claim that materialism and empiricism( which is literally just the scientific method, and nothing but methodological naturalism better explains the phenomena in reality) is utter bullshit. They don't fall apart when questioned, you just don't like them and since realizing that the universe just exists and that you're just a mortal bipedal ape gets your panties in a bunch because you can't be eternal. "They presuppose that empirical data is the only path to knowledge" oh really, please enlighten me with an equally explanatory alternative method that produces the same amount of verifiable, consistently replicable data as science. The fact that you are even here commenting about why empirical data is the only form of information that is reliable is necessarily because of empirical data( e.g. learning to read, write, study philosophy through having to learn about logic,etc.). What other path to knowledge makes you think that it's more reasonable, and how do you know that? "Even Quine admitted that there is no epistemological justification in materialism" 1. Why does this sentiment even matter.2. Show me where he said this with the exact phrasing you gave.3. what epistemological justification is found in other views, and why do you give such alternatives more credence.4. Why would someone who you claimed to be a materialist discredit his own central philosophical commitment? That's like a geologist saying that there's no reason to believe the earth isn't flat while also believing in such an assertion.
"They presuppose that empirical data is the only path to knowledge, but where is the empirical data which tells them this?" The key is that this presupposition is the *only* presupposition required. (To nitpick, less that "it's the only path to knowledge" and more "it's a viable path". Complications with duplicate "only"s :D ). It's self defeating, too, in the empirical domain. That means it balances on a knife's edge of ways to prove it wrong, yet has shown to stay upright and balanced: a viable tool for understanding process. While things it produces may have their limited domains (Newtonion vs Einstenian vs Quantum, and other fields too, etcetc), the science-process itself still corrects it in the presence of confounding sensory data (or perhaps fails to correct itself in the lack of insight or repeatable data. This, too, shall pass). Which isn't to say we shouldn't try to think outside such a paradigm. Rather: we shouldn't poopoo it willy nilly.
You made some science nerd SOOO mad, he criticized a whole hour long video lol Keep up the honest work and keep growing with other probing minds. The truths which lead to a better tomorrow are born from open, scrutinizing minds.
"You made some science nerd SOOO mad, he criticized a whole hour long video lol" I wonder why this happened. It's almost like anti-science nonsense must be addressed and systematically deconstructed. The thesis of the video Dave responded to was essentially: I don't like how empirical reasoning and the scientific method disagree with my supernatural beliefs, so I'm gonna misrepresent the paradigm to gain a false vantage point.

I love your channel. I didn't start off by saying that (and admittedly was a little stoned when I wrote the following, which is rather selfishly focused. Who cares where my "life energy" is going? Pompous too, sorry. This is a great channel and I've learned a tremendous amount. You're far more organized, but in some vague ways you remind me of a more sober Terrence McKenna, at least as far as how fascinating and knowledgeable your presentations are. I'll leave what I said earlier because there's no escaping one's own stupid shadow. Was hoping you'd get to Bohm eventually, thanks! My life energy has gone towards a channel of Bohm's linguistic work, developing a prismatic/kaleidoscopic and metaphoric relationship to language (or any mediated form of knowledge, including self-knowledge). I'm kind of working in his rheomode direction, but without altering language itself as much as my own relationship to language. I've also been profoundly affected by what Krishnamurti did/said/didn't do, for what he didn't do was perhaps the most profound and radical part of Krishnamurti's work, the significance of which is easily missed. I understand why you might skip over Krishnamurti. He's not an effective metaphysician, doesn't "posit" structures of thought and understanding but seems more of a practical, explosive force of proprioceptive transparency, which frees thought itself from the sticky qualities of a subtle literalism (or conflation of map and territory). So in some sense he works in a manner that could seem contrary or perhaps even pointless (offering few structural points to map), but embodies nevertheless the resonant heart of what you beautifully unfold for us. Thanks.
Would you consider doing something on Human Suffering. Jung and others philosophized greatly on suffering and you're a student/scholar of Philosophy. Suffering is an inescapable thing, part of the human condition. I'd be interesting in hearing your synthesis on Human Suffering derived from your studies of other Philosophers that have contemplated it deeply and whatever your own experiences with suffering have taught/shown you. Just an idea for the 'suggestion box'.
Honestly that's something I probably should have spoken about more in this video but I was in a hurry to rush it out the door. I was thinking about doing something in the future where I talk about Jung's answer to Job and maybe tie Dostoyevsky and Nietzsche in as well
I have been finding my way back to replay your videos. In my opinion you have a Carl Sagan-esque/ Leonard Nimoy style of speaking. And great content. You should be mainstream.
Whitehead also said that how an actual entity becomes constitutes what that actual entity is. He said that an actual entity's "being" is constituted by its "becoming". This is the "principle of process".
In music, consonance is when two or more tones combine to create a pleasant sound, while dissonance is when two or more tones clash to create an unpleasant sound. Resonance The subject resonates with its object intersubjectively
Leibniz had a good point about how the past still exists in a metaphysical sense and it disproves materialism. He said that although Caesar is not crossing the river right now, it remains the case that Caesar did cross the river, and this always will be the case. This is impossible in materialism.
@@laurisolups6563 It is impossible in materialism because in materialism all that exists is physical matter. The past and the the law of identity over time are metaphysical assumptions that can't exist in materialism. All you have is the physical matter at this exact instance of time, and even that is a metaphysical assumption too. The physical matter of the universe right now is not arranged in such a way that Caesar is crossing the river. Maybe you think it happened but if that is just an illusion in your mind? How do you know that even one second ago really happened and isn't an illusion? Physical matter on its own can't tell you these things. You are making assumptions that contradict materialism.
Not sure what you mean. An actually existent past is perfectly compatible with some varieties of materialism. In fact, arguably some version of perdurantism is *implied* by the relativity of simultaneity.

It is crucial to grasp that cosmic dissonance not only fails to diminish but, in fact, intensifies over time. This phenomenon manifests across art history, classical music, and jazz. Initially, as not all potential possibilities were explored, the most harmonious options were favored. However, in the pursuit of innovation, more complex and consequently dissonant sounds and rhythms emerged. This progression culminated in a crisis, depleting possibilities to the point where only dissonant art remains, increasingly challenging to perceive (beginning with Arnold Schönberg). Just as individuals explore diverse artistic possibilities, venturing into more dissonant and complex territories, the entire universe becomes inherently intricate and dissonant. This ongoing process instills a sense of fear in me. The sole recourse lies in attempting to organize the burgeoning complexity, relying on the simplest proportions to establish harmony - a concept I deem the divine order. Through music, this order finds expression, exemplified by figures like Johann Sebastian Bach, who crafted a human order approaching the divine. Composing provide a personal encounter with cosmic principles and the inherent expression of possibilities. Music theory, allows one to comprehend the laws of this language. However, music theory is akin to esoteric knowledge. Many who claim to understand it actually comprehend very little, despite teaching it at schools and universities.
Jazz did indeed delve into explorations of intense dissonance, but even today modern jazz takes the techniques developed by those explorations and incorporates them into compositional structures which are very cohesive and refined. The exact same can be said of classical music, and personally I find some of the most dissonant classical music (Bartok, Shonberg's pre-12-tone works, Dmitri Shostakovich, Charles Ives, etc) to be far more emotionally gripping, evocative and powerful than compositions which would be considered beautiful in the more "traditional" sense (a sense which, btw, only held sway in western European music for 500 years or so - a vanishingly small sliver of time within the scope of human existence). Beauty can often be more than we might realize
Where should I start learning if I just turned 15 on January 11 Ive only watched your Unfolding of the Human video and Magic video Though Im not sure if I should be learning other shit
It depends entirely on what you're interested in. I started reading philosophy, science and history when I was about 15. I've always just learned whatever I found compelling at any given time tbh. Trust your gut. Laszlo's book, Science and the Akashic Field covers some of the same ground which I cover in some of my stuff, and that book isn't terribly difficult.
Reading the ancient Greeks is also a good way to train your mind to think reasonably and increase its strength. You will also gain a lot of wisdom. You could practice succeeding at your school too.
I've watching your videos and now I'm caught up from the beginning. I'm wondering if I was going to start reading Gebser and Whitehead, where would the best place be to start? Should I start with the Ever-Present Origin?
The Ever Present Origin is fantastic but it's a slow burn. I had to work through it bit by bit over the course of almost 2 years before I felt like I finally had the whole picture in focus. Point being; don't get frustrated with it. If it's taking forever, then it's working. I'm in the process of setting up a website and whatnot atm because I'm gonna try hosting webinars for some of the books and topics I cover. I'm gonna start with an 8 week class on the Ever Present Origin and another 8 week class on Whitehead's Process and Reality.
27:43 - "In this sense, God is the great companion -- the fellow-sufferer who understands." Amazing how this is brilliantly captured by the Christian symbol of the Christ.
Regarding the Akashic field, the idea that the present holds a perfect record of the past is standard in modern physics (and really since Newton). Newton's laws are time reversible (given the present state, the state at any time in the past can be computed). Schrodinger's equation / quantum time evolution is also perfectly reversible (you may hear about quantum measurements as causing an irreversible effect, but "measurements" of that kind only occur when we artificially divide the universe into a system and an observer - that this division is artificial is also recognized by physicists who are thinkers). Schrodinger, Heisenberg, and Dirac were all on intrigued with the mystical implications of quantum mechanics. I would attribute the failure to embrace these mythical implications to Einstein and his followers, they were upset that Quantum Mechanics made relativity look like a footnote, and so Einstein fought against QM and lost (the EPR thought experiment, and later Bell's theorem).
The fact that the equations are reversible doesn't mean that the past is not annihilated as soon as it leaves the present, or that the future exists before it occurs, for that matter. Newton himself almost certainly did not believe the past was destroyed, but Newton was an esoteric Christian, not a materialist. The reason why materialism results in the absurdity that the past and future aren't real is that it attempts to confine itself specifically to imposition of determinations upon present events from immediately prior events (dominos falling, etc) and within such a framework, it appears as though the past - other than events which are immediately prior to the present - have no causal influence anymore, and therefore don't really exist in any meaningful sense. Then introduce the Einsteinian claim that there is not really a present either... and what are you left with?
@@Formscapes The strongest present candidate for a fundamental quantity in physics that is quite different from matter and energy, is information. The apparent fact that the present contains a perfect record of the past, means it contains all the information there is about the past, and so if we view information as primal then the past (and future) are contained in the present. When you speak of the past being potentially annihilated as soon as it leaves the present, this applies to an arrangement of matter and energy, but the information is apparently not annihilated either way (although it seems computationally intractable to rewind or descramble the present to retrieve the past, potentially even in principle). Another thing I'll point out is that the mainstream physics notion of spacetime is already a "block time" where all points in space and time exist simultaneously. Our lives as we have lived them are already a "permanent" part of this spacetime. When we take a Rubik's cube in its ordered (solved) state, and then scramble it up, we wouldn't say in ordinary English that anything had been "destroyed." And so at the very least, it is the same for the past: it's just scrambled up.
2:57 What type of art is this on screen? Why is this style of picture or maybe painting seemingly everywhere? And why are the people in these strange pictures always naked?
That is Kharon (1861) by Alexander Litovchenko. It is a romantic period painting with the subject being classical mythology (in this case, Kharon ferrying the dead across the river Styx into Hades). Artistic depictions of mythological subjects are traditionally nude, unless there is a specific reason for them not to be.
Lucid interpretations for the brain as always. I wonder if you have a new political video planned because your capitalism and communism video is a favorite of mine because of your apolitical approach to polarizing matters. Like the next stage of political thought?
Possibly. Honestly I have no idea what direction this channel is gonna go in ultimately. I've got a few videos planned for the next month or so but after that who knows
Do you think Whitehead’s thought is reconcilable with or points to an esoteric platonism like that of Plotinus? I can’t help but see parallels (as well as glimpses of Integral consciousness) in both.
Yes, it "explicates" or "unfolds" the implicate/enfolded/luminous/noetic domain (or whatever you want to call it). The implicate domain is nowhere and everywhere; it precedes space and temporicity (it precedes time in the sense of temporal sequence, but not necessarily in the sense of concrescence itself)
I’ve been wondering how long it would take until you talked about McKenna for how often you say his favorite words, transcendental object and eschaton haha
Recently read, new level was added to Maslow's hierarchy, "Transcendence". What do you think sir, is it "will to power" or "will to numinousity" or does it depend on out interpretation ?
I would have to read the text you are referring to, but knowing Maslow, I expect his definition of transcendence to be much closer to my conception of Numinosity than a Nietzschean/Deleuzean Will-To-Power.
I'm going to be unpopular saying this but I believe Brahmacharya is the best method for spiritual advancements like immortality and I do tend to be very dogmatic about this. It's not by any stretch of the imagination that I consider sexuality to be immoral at least not inherently. With that being said though sexuality is a very limited form of pleasure and ultimately makes the body invest in huge amounts of energy to waste on mere nerve tickling. I highly recommend retaining your prana, I don't consider regular energy spilling to be a form of human flourishment by a long shot.
Now is eternal. Past, present and future are temporal. Reality/Life = That which is/That I am It is the nature of Life, the All in One in All, to function/serve as a diversified unity of Infinite potential, eternally actualizing as a unified diversity or Uni-verse. Spirit = Being aware of being aware - as Life at Large, eternally actualizing Infinite potential, because only Eternity can fully embrace Infinity. Empty of ego = Full of Life. Soul = Integrated Psyche: Mind = Inspiration Heart = Aspiration Will = Volition To actualize potential: Dream it, feel it, do it. Integration = Integrity = Soul Body: The abstract (Heaven) called Love by the Psyche (Firmament) can be expressed concretely (Earth) as a smile, hug, etc, thereby uniting Heaven and Earth. World = Mirror = as within, so without. Optimums are inherently pleasant (Heaven). Extremes are inherently painful (hell). One who knows when to stop is forever safe: Inner/Outer More/Less Better/Worse Yes/No We are an open ended possibility.
I'd say the past always exists, just because we cannot experience it doesn't mean it's an illusion, just like a person sneezing on the other side of the planet is real even though it is not in your direct experience. Crazy you would mention Bohm & Oppenheimer, I'm literally watching Oppenheimer (2023) today. I'm still confused as to why Oppenheimer taught the theory behind the atomic bomb.
So... how exactly does this video relate to its title "Immortality"? Are you supposing all of our experiences are recorded in the "akashic field" with our tag on it? And what would be its substrate, moreover, does information always need a substrate?
As I said in about 4 different ways in the video; it's not just that the past is preserved. It's that the past is still very much alive in the present. All of it.

can you respond to the guy who made that entire video trying to debunk you about science being fake thanks. youre one of my favorite youtubers i know u can do it
I'll need some further elaboration on what exactly the context of the question is. In philosophy there is an essentia/existentia distinction, but idk about an essence/energy distinction.
@@Formscapes It comes from the Greek word energeia meaning operations or activities. Paul uses this word in the Bible. In Christian theology they make a distinction between God's essence and His energies. The divine essence is unknowable but people can come to know God through His energies. Sort of like how you can't look at the sun directly or you will hurt your eyes, but you can see the sun's rays.
@@stormthecat7395 oh right right. I assumed you were talking about some new age thing I had never heard of (which happens alot lol) If God's essence consists in infinite aspects - spinoza etc - then I suppose you could say that's technically unknowable. I'm more of a Heidegger simp tho so to me it makes more sense to day that God's existentia is unknowable, or even that God's essentia and existentia are identical. Within any apophatic theology, the real crux of the matter - pun intended - seems to be whether one equivocates knowledge with exhaustion of potentiality or not.
There is no place for any logically coherent moral code of conduct in a world in which the past is unalterable, for in that case so is the future and everything is just a succession of causes and effects. If you want to believe that your ethics have any impact in the world, it is only logical for you to believe that time is non-linear and that it is possible to retrieve information from the future as well as to change events in the past.
Sounds like a massive non sequiter to me. You are assuming that the inalterability of the past necessitates that only material and efficient causation be operative in our universe. I see no reason why the past would need to be alterable in order to allow for formal or final causation.
Newton set the human dashboard equations of hierarchy math mapping it for the first time and as cause & effect goes, if we determine simplicity and unification here we push approximating complexity there. If you pull your rulers over you desk top you then can see the ends of complexity outside what you couldn't unify. We see this in all academic, monarchs even orthodoxy,catholicism and yes wokism . We did this on space granting it in the sky pushing complexity down upon us to get close to study. But socially it creates cults within cults needing social justice worriors, bishops,imams, or politicians to mediate on behalf of each sect. The everything is naturalism physicalism movement starts on a false assumption anylitical statistics would be able to explain away the fundamental building blocks but this blew up in their face. And qauntom physics confirmed newton and kont. The human dashboard knowledge of good and evil plays huge parts in our sensory perception and this observer is the root orgin to the great classical American founding principles themselves. God given free will unalienable right where it all matters is in the ben Franklin systems so to speak. The mechanics, teachers, doctors etc etc etc. We all use the same elements but in different critical states requires us to rationalize them in different ways to maximize benefits.
We plagiarize the past to correlate with the present and reduce to be more precise to better teach or convey ( less_ons) to one another. The theory of everything we use is as old Babylonian evolutionary primordial flood soup creation mythology. It hasn't changed all this time but just went in and of favor
In their most basic essences, I think that Yang and Yin are Form and Formlessness, respectively, though mythical concepts cannot be captured by "definitions" exactly
Considering how central Whitehead is to my own thinking, I'd prefer "panexperientialist" over either, but frankly I'd rather just tell me people what I actually think instead of trying to communicate using "isms"
@@cmaslan when a new "particle" is discovered which has at least **some** of the properties attributed to dark matter, then I will change my tune. Until then, I feel completely justified in saying that we have exactly as much reason to believe dark matter is real as we have to believe that General Relativity is the final theory of everything - i.e., none whatsoever.
But what about hell and the judgement to come...? Rom 1:17) For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “But the righteous man shall live by faith.” 18) For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19) because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. 20) For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. 21) For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22) Professing to be wise, they became fools,

The foundational reality of our universe has judgement deeply intertwined in it and it brings suffering to the spiritually dead and joy to the spiritually alive.

except the future is as certain as the day is long. this is how they knew Moses was coming and Jesus. it's scripted in the stars - your belief concerning this is scripted as well. so there's that.
Whitehead's idea of creativity itself perhaps being the purpose of this universe, leading to more and more novelty is very much like what Terence Mckenna talks about in his last interview. Also, really sad what hapend to Bohm with all that McCarthiast crap. I didn't know that. Really great that he was still able to go on and write great things. I was thinking about the holographic universe concept earlier today actually. Anywho, thanks for doing what you do as usual. 🪷🌌
You've already touched on so much of the same information I've come to over the years, but this one... 🤌! I totally geeked out when you brought in Bohm and Krishnamurti. I'm so here for all of this. Love how you bring it all together. Keep up the excellent work!!
