William Gaddis' The Recognitions; A Review (Sort Of)
มุมมอง 7K3 ปีที่แล้ว
William Gaddis' The Recognitions is an invisible titan of American post-war fiction; invisible for its unpopularity, and titanic for its undeniable influence on the future generation(s) of writers in America. In this video I examine Gaddis' criticisms of forgery in The Recognitions via his depictions of (a) Art, (b) the Self, and (c) Faith. Chapters: 0:00 Introduction 2:53 Art 5:56 the Self 8:1...
The Seventh Seal - Kierkegaard's Knight of Faith
มุมมอง 97K4 ปีที่แล้ว
With Antonius Block, Bergman has crafted a near-perfect existential hero. Using a (hyper-summarized) Kierkegaardian framework, I suggest that Antonius Block exemplifies how a person ought to approach faith in a world increasingly devoid of God. This video is, without doubt, aesthetically indebted to the work of Lex Villena ( lexville_). Music used in this video: "Nocturne in F Minor-...

    O meio religioso depende da alienação para existir. Entender aa relações do tempo presente através do pensamento da perspectiva do homem de dois mil anos atrás é tribalismo ao mesmo tempo em que rejeita leis de progresso e evolução na compressão dos mesmos fatos e assuntos. Mas ninguém deseja viver em um mundo sem energia elétrica, água encanada, carros, computadores ou internet. A alienação no meio religioso tem mantido questões como "fé compensada e fé não compensada" certos de que o momento presente é promessa de tempos passado de fé.

    I just had some revelations while watching this movie and thinking about Soren Kierkegaard's "Fear and Trembling" and wanted to share the following: Contrary to a line in this video, Faith is indeed a product of Reason, but not a parallel process. Instead, Faith begins where Reason was exhausted. It's imperative to delineate between the premature abandonment of Reason and the exhaustion of the faculty of Reason pertaining to each individual's capacity to think. The former will only lead to a fool's conclusion or no conclusion at all. It is when we've truly exhausted all reason - when we are trapped and reason accurately informs us that there is no escape - that we are presented with the free choice to voluntarily abandon ourselves to Faith, or the absurd, as it is known by the reasoning mind.

    I don’t think where reason ends faith begins - they seem inextricable to me. But I think where faith really starts is where the heart begins. So many are dead spiritually in this generation and I can only suppose it is because they did not go out into this world and let their heart govern their decisions. They chose cruelty and not kindness and even now when the Truth is self evident, they still persist in choosing relentless cruelty every day, and the rolling of a stone.. 🕊❤️✝️🙏

    This ending is a misleading representation of faith. It seems to suggest that you're intended to be in a state of fear, and that the essence of faith is uncertainty. Although we all struggle with fear and doubts, that is not the essence of faith. 2 Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. Faith comes from God as you seek Him. Faith casts out fear. Uncertainty gets replaced with confidence. God does speak to His people. He is not a distant uncaring God no matter how many famous people may like to portray Him that way.

  • @themadmallard
    @themadmallard 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    @4:24 i think it is both those things. But like everything, there are conditions, and the conditions that which your arrive at the faith borne from a fit of passion are usually very tumultuous and damaging. Anyone I know that has found it in such a way has endured what was for them a crazy trial. But faith like said earlier in the video being acted out does make it a skill in a sense because you act it out over time. And like anything you do with repetition, you tend to improve at or fail at less often. This story kind of abstracts that in a way, because the Knight is both having a fit of passion at death's door, and is acting out faith gradually with keen awareness of his impending mortality?

    @swesleyc7 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I've long thought that Atheists are less of a problem in my own mind - they at least have a faith of some kind that God doesn't exist. Who I REALLY have pity for are agnostics - those who just can't take the time to wrestle with their belief... any belief at all.

    • @nateswan9527
      @nateswan9527 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I actually see most beliefs about God to fall on a spectrum of agnosticism. You have the extreme theist side that claims to 100 percent know their God exists, and you have the other extreme side of hardcore atheists saying absolutely no God exists. And then there are people who say I believe my God exists, but I could be wrong. Or, I see no reason or evidence that I should believe in a God. People in the middle, agnostics, are often stereotyped as fence sitters, nonconfrontational, avoiding difficult conversations. I've formed the conclusion that neither side truly knows if their God exists, or none do. Maybe one day I can be moved, but I don't see how I can form a conclusion without knowing more.

      Infinite consciousness, creation energy, and God that controls heaven and hell exists, and God loves. Look up 7 chakras and the 3rd eye. And look up Brahma. Look up Brahmaloka. Look at mount meru and kundalini serpents. Angels are like the ancient creation energy beings like Indra described in ancient texts. Random conciousnesses have spawned throughout the universe and exist in the spirit realm (Brahma loka) angels and demons are the souls of these random creations and souls of stars and planets. There is magical creation energy, angels are at the top dimensions of heaven that can affect reality. Watch the Russian movie Stalker to see what the creation energy beings are capable of. Hope you read this and know God as described exists.

    Faith is interesting, but how does one choose, from an infinity of options, what to believe? And what people believe is almost 100% determined by their cultural context, and thus seems an unlikely path to universal truth.

    • @MostlyPonies1
      @MostlyPonies1 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Religion is not supposed to be about truth. Unfortunately that's what Christianity aims toward, it relies on certain historic facts to be true. Religion is supposed to be about living a good life, being a good person and understanding your place in the world.
