Greek gods are forgotten . Sad

I enjoyed the conversation and thought the guest had some good perspective on Greek religion. The part that lost me was when he said, he could embody Hera...we all have a feminine side of our psyches but no man can body a woman or a female deity in the natural and divine way a woman can. There is a contradiction there. The cold fact is that homosexuality behavior is objectively a perverse action. The same goes for hetero sexuals involved in rectal copulation. Part of malaise of our day is people thinking there are no objective truths or natural facts. If the goal is to revive the ancient faiths then part of the solution is to prioritize children, youth and families. This doesn't need to be exclusive to individuals who respect children, youth and families but there does need to be an honest assertion of natural facts and priorities.

Much power to you.. be blessed❤ Such a blessing to see it here ❤

You’re correct in alluding to a kind of philosophical dogmatism forming in the Platonic tradition, but at the same time, there’s a chasm of epistemic difference between relying on ‘revealed truth’ versus ‘discursive reasoning’. If Christianity (or even Islam or later Judaism) were able to stand up to scrutiny purely on the basis of the Hebraic, legalistic approach to the transcendent, then it wouldn’t have had to rely on Hellenic thought to justify its metaphysics by the time orthodoxy was established. Furthermore, Monistic Idealism can easily be logically deduced without need for scripture, so one could argue this boils down to a distinction between ‘cleaving to faith’ versus ‘rational faculties’ (the logical endpoint of the latter being Monistic Idealism at the very least).

Another copycat job by the unoriginal, unevolved Europeans. Go with the original and you lot might stop suffering 🔱

6:15 The worldview you are describing is a common misinterpretation of science. Science does not deny the metaphysical, because it does not concern itself with it. That is not the practice or function of science.

It is essential for people to understand that myths are not to be taken literally, on which I agree with the interviewee, for as such not only do they have nothing to offer us, but moreover they can create false impressions about the nature of the gods, the mortals and the cosmos. Other than that this episode was mostly disappointing. It does not give a clear insight on Greeks who worship the Hellenic Gods. The interviewee during the first 15 minutes of the video basically recited by memory the core beliefs of his religious group. However, the Hellenic Movement in Greece is very decentralized. There are a ton of such groups around Greece each with a different set of beliefs and many more people who are independent not belonging to a group. Concerning the rest of the video, in which he basically expressed his personal beliefs, he does not represent the worldviews of today Hellenists in Greece, but he is closer to neo-paganism (or more specifically eco-paganism with the Earth staff), Awakening, and Spiritualism merched with feminism and LGBT ideas. Having met and listened to many people of the movement, I can assure the viewers of the video that this person just doesn't speak for them. A look on his personal channel is enough to prove my point.

This guy is BS. A non-indian or Indian love towards Hinduism makes no difference from the Dharmic perspective. Don't forget that many Roman Gods were African imports.

Very good

Thank you. 🌛🌕🌜🪷🦋

Seems to me that the greater mysteries having to do with tripping is not accurate.

i would disagree in not calling those religious orientation religions. Religion is not something that necessarily needs very big institutions but rather general groups or associations which could worship the gods in the temples, something we definitely find in Ancient Greece. And i must say, i appreciated your video as you talked about a very important concept, and that is when Men get physically or politically destroyed, the last resource or way of life ends up becoming the thought of it finishing. It made sense that after the great weakening of the greek city states' spirit the cult of mysteries of Dyonisus and Hermes became more popular, in my opinion the people just started thinking that the physical and social order was not enough anymore, something that however was more consistent during the olympian era. But i fear you missed an analogy, Persephone and Dyonisus were the direct perceived gods from the earth mother, not only because of their connection to the eternal return which was very famous in Orphism and Pythagoreanism, but also because of their relationship with the earth, a relationship Persephone had with the seasons while Dyonisus with the wine and ecstasis, which would have later became the mysterious travel to the secrets of the cycles itself while at the same time being tied up with the being's rejuvenation.

Do you really think the moon's phases have 3 different causes? No. You don't. You know it has 1 cause. So why are you pretending to think it's smart to think 3 causes exist? You just want to own the atheists, by saying shit you don't even believe

56 octaves below the Bflat? Which frequency is that in Hz?

Really engaging and thought provoking video. Ancient Athens continues to fascinate so many today. I had seen the connection between the Third Reich and the militaristic, state run life of Sparta but had no idea the Nazi's used a speech from Pericles to justify their aims. The discussion on what the word "city " actually meant in Ancient Athens is very poignant. Thank you.

Wonderful video. If you get time, rebranding the audio so that the music doesn't overwhelm the narration might make it even better.

Greek culture is marvelous. Greeks should never submit to an alien hebrew sect.

I was raised Christian but very curious about and accepting of other beliefs. I really enjoyed this interview, Michael asked all the same questions I would have. It was very rational and informative. Thank you both.

I play the romanian NAI(panflute),a local version of the Syrinx,which is documented by Ovid,amongst others. I think ancient instruments deserve to be studied and revived!

Fascinating discussion! Very interesting,documented information! Thank you!

Greek polytheism was never a cause of war, on the contrary, war happened many times due to the fanaticism of monotheistic religions. In Greek polytheism, the Gods have flaws, are subject to criticism, leave free will to man. Their existence or not is a matter of human faith.

What of Anaximander?

ok, it sounds quite possible for antiquity to trip on “ergot”. On the other hand, that was not a chemical synthesis like modern lsd I guess, but it might have been a simple tea or whine version just like ayahuasca drink.. Ancient blends like rotten fish with camel urine added 3 pieces of ergot.. who knows?😊

looking forward to this one!

I am completely amazed at the philosophy and understanding of sound the man has. Logos and Musica make complete sense. Brilliant work!

Υπέροχη συζήτηση

Nazism has tarnished the far right. You mention Eugenics or certain ideas and people assume you're some raging Nazi. I'm not a fan of politics but my philosophical ideas would be considered FR by many nowadays. We know the Greeks practiced various forms of Eugenics, the most extreme example being in Sparta. I'm not opposed to Eugenics at all. The Greeks were very much quality over quantity. Now eugenics could be done in a far more humane way.

Hofman was also great friends with Ernst Junger who would later experiment with him taking LSD. Junger is a German modernist with a very Greek way of looking at the world. I recommend reading ''Storm of Steel'' and ''Glass Bees'' .

Bummer that many of Aristarchus scrolls were destroyed in the fire of Alexandria.

I feel archaic Greece gods/goddesses, as well as philosophers like Heraclitus and the Homeric tales are just as good as any eastern mysticism. It irritating so many westerners think all of western thought is, is either some Christian theology which is also unique or typical liberal philosophers like Hobbes, Hume, Kant and Hegal. We also have a very cyclic tradition that is just as inspiring and unique.

Great video

Thanks for the little breakdown! You always re-stir my interest in philosophy

What about the divine mystery initiations? Isn't that different from just kindling spiritual feelings about mythology?

Beautiful, visuals helped me contemplate and imagine the concepts together with the beautiful metaphors. The scientific references where unneeded and mentally distracting. Thank you

It’s really Ancient Egypt 🇪🇬 black history

👏👏👏🥰✨

Excellent video and introduction to Heidegger.

Gnosticism is not nihilism. The Gnostics believe that we each have a spark of the divine within us that needs to be awaked and nurtured. The Gnostics also believe that there are rulers (aka Archons) that keep humanity suppressed and act as gatekeepers to higher spheres/realms of existence. Despite the chaos in the world, the Gnostics always retained hope of improvement and redemption.

I think a more intuitive way I've found to describe why platonic forms might be incorrect (which is what you're doing with the DNA example I think) is to propose a thought experiment about humans. If you put a group of humans on a spaceship and sent them to a planet with different conditions, gave them 1 million years, and then put them on a spaceship and brought them back to Earth, which group of people would reflect the form of the human? Changes would have occurred in both populations over that amount of time, maybe massive ones depending on the pressures involved. They're both human and not the same, so there is no form of the human, it's the form of everything to change...panta rei

Millerman is great

Thanks for another interesting video. I would be thrilled if, one of these days, you told us what you think of defenders of free-market capitalism such as Adam Smith and Friedrich Hayek. (You and Hayek have at least one thing in common: you are both strongly opposed to scientism.)

great video!!

As I delved into physics, or the idea of physics, I realized that perception is all that I have. I cannot see the entire spectrum of what exists only what I perceive to exist. Even assisted by analog devices, I am limited in my perceptions. Space, matter and "dark matter" are constructs of my perceptions. Biological organisms likewise are limited by my perceptions. Each of us are conglomerate communities of organisms and biochemical interactions, our mind or life force governing our totality until we die. Life can be experienced, but never completely comprehended. For me that is enough.

I’ve only ever heard the name Heidegger when learning philosophy, such a complex and intense topic just in this conversation alone. When I was young I would pick out books from my mother’s shelf regarding topics specific to zen Buddhist philosophy among others, mostly because I liked the cover art. She would tell me “those are a bit heavy for you at this time” and I would try and read them anyway out of interest. She was right of course, but that didn’t mean I wasn’t left with deeper impressions that kept with me as I grew older. Lighting a small spark in someone, chances are that hearth for knowledge grows. Thanks for another great video ❤

Could I use part of this video in one of my own videos? I would set up a link to this video and your channel. Your ideas on 'light' are very interesting!

interesting theme, great job
