- Episode Eight. Lunchtime!
Bloom wanders and ponders a great many things, from Molly to his courtship of her, the dandy Blazes Boylan, Molly's so-called infidelity, and of course the ever onflowing stream of Life.
One suggestion: could you make your series into a playlist? It would make them much easier to navigate around.
Really enjoying this. Thank you for your original views on this, and also for your efforts to organise and present them.
Fascinating, again. Excellent job. A master's course given on a book written off as inaccessible that is actually a full and living tome as accessible as one is willing to access it.
Thank you for your time and commitment. You do an awesome job of making a video feel less like a lecture and more like a discussion. (A discussion that has reached a point where it would be wiser to just listen for a while.)
Thanks for that Teatro.
The aim has always been to take Ulysses, and books in general, out of the hands of the so-called specialists and put them back into the hands of the keen and curious.
Nothing that goes on here has its roots in a classroom. Life is out in the fields and forests, hills and rivers and streams, and increasingly, in the cities we've built around us. "That's God," said Stephen Dedalus to Mr. Deasy, pointing a finger towards the sounds of children at play outside the window.

00:28 как Вы придумали вступительные главки? Кажется, форму Ваших видео в 2020 повторил канал Армен Захарян с видео по 18 эпизодам. Жаль Вы не снимали по эпизодам.
Hey thanks for your videos. I am liking the omphalos cafe a lot. It was just what i needed and has been a bit of revelation to me. Originally hit on Omphalos cafe because i was reading Ulysses and was getting bogged down and stuck. I was employing all sorts of help to unlock the book including Stuart Gilbert etc etc. It was going to Omphalos Cafe and hearing about Daedalus day that woke me up and helped free up my reading of this book. Enjoyed the trucking Zen videos as well. Also like the references you mention Spengler, Henry Miller et al. Also liked the last school you talked about. When you described the last school i though hey that’s what i have been doing for the last couple of years. Making up my own courses, studying what i like at my own pace and when i graduate i will know in fact there is no graduation i just keep on learning. Keep on trucking from William Shaw
Thanks Will, if something I've wrote or said has motivated or inspired you in any way I'm glad, because when all is said and done this stuff really isn't about me but about what's already out there, what Spengler, Miller, Joyce, Bergson, Campbell, Proust, Mann, and countless others more or less caught a glimpse of.
And nobody has their eyes open enough to see it!
Unlock the book? Read Miller's Tropic of Capricorn and experience the very same struggle towards artist/shaman as Joyce is undergoing in Stephen Hero, A Portrait, and Ulysses. And I include Stephen Hero because more and more it dawns on me that that is what Joyce wanted to say but realized he couldn't before ending up cutting it to pieces and repackaging it as A Portrait in order to get it by the censures.
It's an archetypal struggle towards something more than what Campbell calls the 'system of sentiments' of the community or group an individual is born into. And make no mistake, the groupthink is more pervasive now than ever, though not overtly coercive. It's just ubiquitous, everywhere we look and part of every thought we think. It's in every custom, every habit of mind or thought, everywhere we look around it is reinforced, confirmed.
And that is why the true innovators, the genuine seers, mystics, sages and whatnot need leave, need follow their own path into the woods, away from the matrix that is community, whether tribe, nation, city or civilization, and the latter is the most prevalent. Today it spans the globe, stretches its tentacles into every nook and cranny, particularly if there's a dollar to be made or squeezed out of the ground or the poor souls inhabiting it.
The true innovators, the seers, mystics, sages, that is what I'm referring to when I say Dedalusday is for the few, that is the solitary vision quest.
Ok, that's it. Thanks for the comment, Will, it's much appreciated. More videos are coming, but there are changes afoot. Perhaps I'll end up taking the Cafe on to the road, where it really belongs. Outside the city, outside the matrix or whatever you want to call it.
Best of luck in your own journey. I've found holding on to the past, clinging to the old ways and values, to be the most difficult and ultimately futile. For me at any rate chucking it all works best, no matter how seemingly alone the road ahead sometimes might feel.
All the best, Jeff
if owns means can be charged money for, the water company owns the rain falling from the sky. you pay them depending on the square feet of your roof for its removal. everything is owned, not by you ,including your thoughts. the answer is who is the owner ? the question is what is money ? ...
Just a medium of exchange.
Worth almost nothing at the dawn of a new culture, worth almost everything near the civilization’s end.
Which one are we?
Asked about money by the Roman procurator, Jesus replied “who’s image is on it, Caesar's? Then give it to Caesar.”
He stood between the dying Roman world and that which was to come.
