The Esoteric Secrets of Plato’s Cave & the Truth Beyond the Simulation

  • Plato's Allegory of the Cave is a powerful tale. Not only is it one of the oldest versions of what, today, we'd call the "matrix" or "simulation" scenario, it's the most practical, prescient, and esoteric. In fact, Plato's cave and the Republic at-large contain occulted layers of meaning that scholars are still discovering and debating about to this day.
    In this transmission, we'll summarize the tale and do a deep dive into its more esoteric, often missed layers of wisdom.

    When I was young they said of me, "you think too much" and "you're so naive" and since finding THIRD EYE DROPS it feels like coming home to these thoughts and studies and we are living in times I can only hope to prove my life was a true witness to the mantra I used to say under breath " Some people think I think too much, sometimes I think they Think Not. May grace heal us all into wholeness. It's all I ever hoped to wrought."

      Same, Same man. What hitted me harder was: "why did even I listened in the first place?" Not in the douchebag way, just like, why was I expecting to be understanded/ to others to have my same sensibility? The conclusion is even higher: we can only love others, never try to understand.

      Crazy to see that I wasn't the only kid to be punished for seeing the thing others didn't. Always a "know it all" or actually being scolded and told to " Let someone else answer" A coach of mine once told me,"You CAN hide and lie to everyone forever, but the only person who it will NEVER work on, is whos in the mirror. That's who's survival NEEDS to believe."

      Thinking without borders is the best tool a being is born with. Nut cases who run around spewing truth bs only cements shoes and bricks in their pockets of the ones getting spewed on.
      Cavus,spiritus, indus,solus,back to Justus Von Liebig, The creator of the current mirror. AL,alchemy, alcohol,algorithm,aldehyde, the trans4mation,having company without recognizing it. Then again that's being in the simulation and not recognizing.
      Red words red books,Rosa
      Every one of these alchemical spells is the same equation. The more one accepts things as truth, the more entanglement occurs and sooner rather than later, escaping it this go around becomes impossible. Not downing nobody, I'm just saying you are your best source like 👁 am my own source.
      All AL is after is A👁 from each,words like spirit is from spiritus, when box collecting began. There's no 👁 in team, no u either. Why I avoid collective mindsets all together.
      A conscious individual understands what living free
      is,would never under any circumstances talk truth, ask to be followed or follow another.
      Books,when the sacred pine tree became just timber,because someone had an agenda to accomplish.

    Beautifully expressed insights my friend! It has always struck me how the freed man is overwhelmed once he is confronted with the truth, and wants to run back to his familiar life knowing it is an illusion.
    Also, there is that interesting dynamic when one feels the responsibility to help others once one has learned a truth, while knowing that they will not accept it outright. You expressed this so well!

    The exit from the simulation or the Matrix is by following the path of surrender and least resistance to our beliefs about the true self or the origin of the self
    This path is drawn by the lever of connection we can reach to our higher self/Divinity/God. This explains why many of the names you mentioned used meditation or contemplation to reach higher lever of knowledge and identify patterns/sacred geometry/mathematical formulas of what this universe is made of. 💖

    Good one. Reminded me of a poem I wrote a long time ago
    What a puzzle this thing called God
    Invisible, infinite, ancient and odd
    There is nothing so strong, so pure and so safe
    As the knowing of Truth when one finally wakes
    Relax, recall, make an effort to feel
    Look inside, you will find the answers revealed
    There is no structure standing today
    Containing the knowledge to show you the way
    No book on this globe will explain the Truth better
    Than the mind's many pages read letter by letter
    The past has seen men with unbounded knowing
    Directing our world from the wrong way it's going
    Not many have listened, far less understood
    The core of the message was simply "be good"
    Try and you'll find it was well worth the trip
    Look for yourself, be brave, take a sip
    Try and retreat, you’ll still change where you're going
    Follow through, just for you, there's an ocean of knowing
    There is something called God, I tell you it's true
    The puzzle's completion resides inside you

    I’m telling you, this shit is real I used to smoke weed and play video games all day for years, but by the age of 23 I finally got a job been working out and stopped playing video games and started hanging out with family. (I’m 25 now) A lot more started following my Yellow brick Road or Thy Will or the path a being of higher power chose for us. Nowadays I see 1:11 or 11:11 or 3:33 or it could be anything like how I drove for 45 min one lane most of the drive and I see 3 people in a row with 666 within their license plate I look and it’s 12:34 almost everyday I see a synchronicity, after I changed my life, I now swear by it, and I’m not easily swayed either guys THIS SHIT IS 100% REAL THO lol for the past 4yrs that I played video games like 16hrs a day (It was bad) and I had a clock right next to me and I’ve probably only seen it do it once or twice a year. Now I see it five times a DAY I’m now 25 so that’s 2 years 5x a day do the math. Fine I’ll do it lol it’s 43,800 times I’ve seen a synchronicity in the past 2yrs (that’s 21,900 times a year as well) this has to be real cuz I played on a PC all day they have clocks everywhere on those things🤯 I have a really good memory too so trust me I used to check my clock every 30min or so now i can almost count on a synchronicity this stuff is real. Y’all should definitely reply to this once you change ur life in a POSITIVE manner and I promise a synchronicity will guide, and do anything that excites your TRUE being, there lies the yellow brick road just have the balls to follow it, and learn the reason why you’re alive ❤️ PS: I lost over 200lb in less than a year. You can say it was a “Phatt positive change”🤣

      Huge props! One important thing to remember is that memory is creative. Chances are you are overestimating by half AT LEAST, but chances are its even less. You still have probably been seeing it a crap ton, just not 40k times in 2 years. Unless you are talking about any particular numbers, like it could be 11 or 1234 or 333 or 666. If you seen 40k of these different numbers and more that is something I could believe but its still anomalous. I can relate to where you were at 23, super proud of you for turning things around and become a new self. Its not easy but its worth it!!

    Well done Michael. I could feel the Platonic torching passing through the centuries and popping up in your video. Best new fact I learned: John Bremer's claim, at 18:33, that Plato placed the divided-line analogy--which depicts the four levels of reality as a line broken into two unequal segments, each of which is broken by the same ratio into two pieces--at that part of the dialogue that correlates to the golden ratio that the divided line represents. "In mathematics, two quantities are in the golden ratio if their ratio is the same as the ratio of their sum to the larger of the two quantities." (Wikipedia) The golden ratio, also known as Phi, is an irrational number, equal to about 2.618... Bremer's claim reminded me of the philosophy professor and mathematician J. B. Kennedy's book, The Musical Structure of Plato's Dialogues. He argues that Plato counted all of the letters in each dialogue, and organized them into perfectly equal blocks of letters to fit on a standard-sized scroll. He then divided each dialogue into twelve equal sections, which correlate to the 12-note Pythagorean musical scale. If you vibrate two strings of the same length, letting one string vibrate as a whole, while vibrating the other at each of the 12 ratios, 1/12, 2/12, 3/12, etc., you will notice that each of those vibrating ratios of the one string will be either harmonious or dissonant with the vibrations of the other whole string. According to Kennedy, Plato places words about harmony and dissonance at the carefully correlated sections of each of his dialogues, when you divide them in 12 equal parts. In addition to direct references to actual music, dissonant and harmonious themes regularly appear at the points in each dialogue that correlate to those kinds of musical notes.

    I started coming out of the cave over 20 yrs now. Can't even suggest they are prisoner here. Very lonely out here too. I've even thought many times i wish i could go back in but it's impossible. It was very scary at first but now I'm at peace in myself now. I ask for wisdom and she gave it to me. Wisdom's name is Sophia and she is a living being. Seek her because she wants you to. May she bless you with peace and joy.

    "While the black magician at the time of signing his pact with the elemental demon maybe fully convinced that he is strong enough to control indefinitely the powers placed at his disposal, he is speedily undeceived.
    Before many years elapse he must turn all his energies to the problem of self-preservation.
    A world of horrors to which he has attuned himself by his own covetousness looms nearer every day, until he exists upon the edge of a seething maelstrom, expecting momentarily to be sucked down into its turbid depths.
    Afraid to die--because he will become the servant of his own demon--the magician commits crime after crime to prolong his wretched earthly existence.
    Realizing that life is maintained by the aid of a mysterious universal life force which is the common property of all creatures, the black magician often becomes an occult vampire, stealing this energy from others.
    According to medieval superstition, black magicians turned themselves into werewolves and roamed the earth at night, attacking defenseless victims for the life force contained in their blood." - *Manly P. Hall*

    Thank you for all your efforts on this brilliant podcast. I started my exposure to philosophy with John Vervaeke's Awakening from the Meaning Crisis and tried following the After Socrates as recommended, and I read the Allegory of the Cave, and some quotes and it just didn't move me. I was like "so what?" and you answered that for me here. I can't even get through Bernardo Kastrup's Decoding Jung's Metaphysics. I might just have to rely on podcasters for my philosophy....

    I had an experience while meditating that was like a nuclear bomb exploding in my brain after all my attention got sucked into a single point in my vision and i heard myself say the word Beingness. This was long before i stumbked on Eckhart Tolle. That day i was walking on air and could feel fire in every cell in my body. I felt that the meaning of the universe is love. I will never forget that experience, it is still vivid when other past memories have long faded away

    Biblical scripture says that humans were made in God’s image.
    Where most are content to accept this as truth, I seek to understand what an image is and what can be understood from examining it deeper.
    There is an expression, “the spitting image of” implying a strong likeness or similarity between two objects.
    An image, then, is a representation.
    When we begin speaking of representation, we also cross into the territory of simulation.
    There is power in the concept of the “image”. We are able to construct systems of thought and behavior modeled after an ideal. We are able to “fake it until we make it”, play pretend and practice until we are made “perfect”. We are capable of metamorphosis.
    I feel that humans perceiving they are “made in the image”, illustrates our ability to and our desire to perceive likeness (especially in reference to the “highest form”). It’s one of our greatest abilities. We see its application in our development of analogy, symbology and Math, and in our quest for an unifying theory of everything.

    There are many times I've tried to share my experiences. But nobody will listen. People are consumed by their own reality. Through our own experiences, we reason and judge. This is what we call our truth. So I find that it's much better for me to just hold on to my piece, to watch and observe, to play dumb. I find I learn a lot more that way. If somebody asks me if I understand something, whether I understand or not, I tell them no, explain it to me. I do this so they can teach me what they know. What I've come to realize is that we all have our individual experiences. For anyone to say, this is the way it is, and im sure of it, is truly ignorant. Would you be surprised if I were to tell you that everything in this video should be questioned? Everything Plato taught should be questioned? Pythagorean theory should be questioned? Your own understanding should be questioned? Although they have found things that seem to relate to a higher reality. Would you be surprised if I told you that this higher reality is also a false reality? I go through life now, and I just see that everybody's entranced in their own delusion. They're all living in their own deception.
    I see that everything is in a way like an act. Do you really believe that anyone can love you for you? Everyone knows that love, just like everything else, is a performance. If you were to take away all preconceived expectations and demands. If you weren't seeking to gain anything, but there was still love, what kind of love would that be? Can you actually earn someone's loyalty without rewarding them? Can you actually have a relationship without taking their performance into consideration? Can you actually love someone without wanting something in return? I have gone through most of my life, taking life so seriously.
    And now I'm learning how to have fun and enjoy it. What if I were to tell you that everything that you value, that you hold precious and dear to your heart, everything that you have invested your time, money, and resources, everything that you are passionate about, everything that gives you meaning, and purpose in life. What if I were to tell you that all of that would have to be offered as a sacrifice, because all of that is what's holding you back from a higher reality. You can not rely on your 5 senses, your experiences, or your reason or intellect. This thing that you're searching for is much higher than the 5 senses, or your experiences, and it can't be understood with reason and intellect. How do you then perceive this thing you're searching for? How do you then interact with this thing? And how do you then have an encounter with this thing? Well, therein lies the great mystery. So I'm not here to share my experience. I'm not here to share what I have accomplished. What I'm here is to say that I don't know. I'm interested in knowing what you know. Possibly you will question everything, and you will maybe 1 day let go of everything. Is this too high of a price for you? Is it too much of a risk for you? If it is then you're not worthy to obtain this thing. Rulers and kings are willing to give up all their wealth to encounter what it is that I have found. But they are not willing to give up their life for something they're unsure of. So I will remain silent and take this reward with me to my grave. Possibly one day somone will buy the feild and dig it back up.

      There is no such thing as an individual experience, you can imagine there is one, but in the real world, Zero, one and two are not experienceable
      They don't physically exist as an experience , they are just imaginary ideas and concepts that only exist in the tiny little Left PFC
      So the other question becomes , why pretend the rest of your body is doing nothing at all ?
      I mean we all know that the Emotion's are nothing to do with the Cortices and that the emotional brain does not listen or pay any attention to sound complexity, it just hears noise
      Which means you cant talk and convince it to change your emotional state
      So again I ask , why are you pretending your lower brain does not exist ?

      @thrideyedrops maybe Socrates knows he knows nothing once he realized the way in which he knows is a projection of Nous, and thus not "his"? I like to think of that projection as the Higher Self, your next-dimensional being which is not time bound and connected to the source...but man you just blew my mind - that's just when you are looking from our perspective towards the Good. From the other direction it may not be "my higher self" just the projection of Nous to me 🤯
