Actually Anthony, John Michael Greer is a friend of mine, he told me years ago he was working on the translation. I’m glad to see you promoting it.
That's great. Tons of people have been asking me to interview him but I can't find a way to contact him on his site. Perhaps you can pass along a note? :-)
Anthony Metivier Let me see what I may do. I will let you know via email
Thanks - myself and many people who have been asking about me interviewing him will appreciate that. Even if it's a written interview, I'm sure they would love that. :-)
This is beautiful, thank you! I just bought the 4th last book and I look forward to reading it and putting forth the ideas of a great Hermetic Master translated by a truly knowledgeable man in his own right. ❤
This is great news, Veronica. Thanks for letting us know!
What kinds of information would you most like to memorize? :)
Please let me know where you are watching the replay from and if you've read Bruno on memory before. :)
Italian
Omgoodness. I need this book so bad!!!
Let us know if you're able to grab a copy! :)
just purchased the golden book! very exciting !
That's great, Julie. So glad that there were copies left so you could get one.
It's hard to stress or over-emphasize what an important book this is for people serious about memory. I'm so glad you will be part of keeping the tradition alive and growing in this way. :)
I love the idea of the “speed of implementation” rule.
Nice one to solidify!
🙏
Although not bulletproof, it certainly has an incredible track record. 🙏
What a beautiful book!
Yes indeed - and every page a delight to read. I can't wait to hold my course on it for those who are interested in going deep into the topic. Hoping to run it starting September. :)
I would love a course on Bruno
That's great to know, Jonathan.
Thanks so much for letting me know. I'm hoping to finally do it in 2020. There are a few things going on with my next book, but hopefully they won't interfere with putting it out there.
Anything else from the memory world you're interested in? :-)
READ, READ, READ (Real Education Always Delights!)
Thanks Anthony for this discussion of Bruno. I consider Bruno to be the first master of Semiotics because of his clever methods and philosophies with regard to imagery, memory and meaning.
He was determined to be a gadfly to his religious community and to the political principalities and powers of his world. He paid dearly for his passion, and he went to the stake in 1600, likely more for standing by his principles than for causing grievous offence to the Church or the Venetian Inquisition. In that, he reminds me of Socrates, who would rather obey Ideals than man.
Please tell us more of your learning on this lesser-known philosopher and spiritual mnemonist, when you have a chance.
Best regards.
Thanks for this, J A. I hadn't thought of Bruno in the context of semiotics, but I think I see where you're going with that. Interesting angle.
His whole path to the stake is an interesting and puzzling one, but I think Socrates is indeed a good model for how he wound up there. One can only imagine.
More on Bruno coming soon. I'm putting together a course for those in the MMM Mastermind as we speak.
Thanks as ever for your comments and yes - Real Education (Does) Always Delight! Another good one! :)
It was James Joyce who introduced be to Bruno. He is a key figure in "Finnegans Wake" (mentioned over 100 times, more than any other philosopher). A young Joyce wrote a review of McIntyre's book on Bruno. As a fluent Latin and Italian speaker, Joyce could read the Nolan in the original. This edition looks beautiful. It's quite expensive (especially when the shipping to Dublin is included), but you've persuaded me to take the plunge.
I hadn't understood there was a Joyce connection to be enjoyed - thanks for mentioning it. I will look into that. I wonder if Burgess picks up on it as well...
I see Ulysses as one big mnemonic journey.
Yes, Ulysses and the Odyssey it is premised upon certainly make use of spatial memory in very special ways. Great point! :)
Watching the replay from Paris, and I don't think I've heard first of Bruno before. Another rich livestream.
Which translations (original is in Latin?) of Bruno would you recommend for a first timer?
Thanks for this post and sorry I missed it.
Until this one is available again, I suggest Scott Gosnell's translations. I'm studying Thirty Seals now intensely.
Yes we've spoken last year about Bruno and I even recommend you certain books I look forward to it as an individual who practices the esoteric arts of memory.
Is there going to be any more copies of it? Or is there any way I could buy one off of somewhere? (This hardback edition, that I'm referring to and not the one in amazon)
I think this is it for the special hardback. You could reach out to the publisher and ask if they’re doing another run, though. 😀
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM Yeah I did. They answered yesterday saying otherwise. Oh well, I'll get the paperback as this book really piqued my interest when I found out about it from you. Thank you for responding!
Enjoy reading it! 😀
Im from Dublin Ireland .,love your playlist,s , my name is John O Hanlon ( on the shadow of ideas) limited ahhh 😌 how do I get to the live steam.. Thank you
Great to meet you, John. At the moment, only replays are available except for invites made through my email list.
If you subscribe, you'll be notified the next time I do a private live stream.
I have been looking everywhere for these books yet all i can find is the first one still written in code?? Please someone give me the names of these books and a place i can purchase them all.
Thanks for your interest in this book - I know it can be frustrating to find something incredible like this only to realize that it is out of stock.
This book is called On the Shadows of the Ideas, but is originally called De Umbris Idearum. You can get Scott Gosnell's translation here:
www.amazon.com/Umbris-Idearum-Collected-Works-Giordano-ebook/dp/B00F78B7D4/scricast-20
I interviewed Scott about this translation, which you can listen to here:
www.magneticmemorymethod.com/bruno/
Enjoy and talk soon! :)
YEP ME TOO I WANT HIS BOOKS
I just listened to your recent podcast on Giordano Bruno and you mentioned the Necronomicon. I was told i shouldn't read it. Lol.
I interviewed John Michael Greer and we talked a bit about the promulgation of such fears. It’s on the Magnetic Memory Method Podcast if you’re interested.
Do you think this translation is an improvement on Scott Gosnell's?
I would not pit one against the other.
I just received my copy today a 2020 print.
Excellent news! John Michael Greer is going to be on the podcast to talk about this edition very soon. Are you subscribed to the Magnetic Memory Method Podcast? I think you'll really enjoy listening to him talk about his work on this book.
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM Yes I am and I'm really looking forward to him being on your podcast.
Omg 😮 Great 👍 book
Yes, indeed. Have you read any other books by Bruno in addition to this one?
Where can I find this book?
It's now available on Amazon in paperback, I believe.
I want to have that book.Pls.tell me how?
Thanks for your post, Ron. I believe it is out of print. Hopefully it will come back into print soon. :-)
Hi Anthony..I am from India....where can I get this book?
Glad to meet you, Aravind. I hope to see you on the next live stream.
The link for the book is here:
www.miskatonicbooks.com/product/shadow-ideas-giordano-bruno-translated-john-michael-greer-signed-limited-edition-hardcover-preorder/
I hope you can grab a copy.
In the meantime, what memory improvement goals are you working towards achieving?
I have completed 3 parts of 4 videos of your free memory improvement video and I want to use the memory palaces in my studies
That's great, Aravind. Have you finished creating any Memory Palaces yet? :)
Yes I have done 2 memory palaces and I am enjoying the practice of making it
Great!
In case you'd like to watch the replay, here's today's livestream:
th-cam.com/video/WJlYPPYLZjs/w-d-xo.html
It mentions the book again a few times. :)
How can I get book On the shadow of ideas ??
Thanks for your question. I believe it is currently sold out.
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM Any idea when it will be available again ?
I reached out to ask, but haven't heard back yet. If it happens, I'll probably make an announcement.
DO THIS BOOK IS AVAILABLE IN NEPAL ALSO ..
I'm sure you can order it to Nepal, Manish. Just email the publisher first. :)
Very glad you liked the book! I agree, they did a great job in crafting it. I heard about plans for this translation years ago, and I was really looking forward to it, as JMG usually clears up some confusing elements in these obscure texts, both in the language he chooses for his translations and the clues he leaves behind in his introductions & afterwords. I think he would be a great guest for your podcast, he is a long-time practitioner of the Art of Memory, and has a lot of unique thoughts on its importance in modern times - in some of his books, he has called our modern culture a "prosthetic society", where we amputate normal human capabilities and then sell them back as electronic products - he usually cites memorization techniques as a means to reverse this trend. I actually first came across JMG through his introductions to the Art of Memory:
aoda.org/Articles/Ars_Memorativa.html
aoda.org/Articles/Ars_Memorativa_2.html
Thanks for your comment, Daniel, and for these links. Much appreciated.
I'm already making moves to speak with the translator on the podcast, and even imagine getting him together with Scott Gosnell for a discussion too.
There is much to this "prosthetic society" concept, one I refer to myself related to the Digital Amnesia issues. I'm not sure if you've seen it, but it certainly touched a nerve:
www.magneticmemorymethod.com/digital-amnesia/
I believe it is still the most shared post and podcast on the Magnetic Memory Method site.
Memory training is indeed a great antidote and I thank you for participating in the conversation. Let's keep it rolling!
Anthony Metivier Oh a collaboration with Scott Gosnell & JMG would be great! I'd also be interested to hear JMG's take on Lynne Kelly's work - I sent JMG a copy of The Memory Code earlier this year, I don't know what he made of it yet
So many possible conversations that could be had.
I'm sure Scott will be game, but you would be amazed by the amount of invitations I've sent out and not gotten a response to though. Some people prefer to keep their knowledge under wraps. Or so it seems...
(I'll resist listing other possible explanations and for the Branding You Academy crew)
Thanks again and stay tuned. :)
Anthony Metivier I'm pretty sure JMG would be game, he always seems to be very appreciative of the publicity that podcasters give him, as well as the interesting conversation... if you have trouble getting a reply, DM me for his email address, he is usually really good with relying to inquiries...
Great - will do when the time comes. I just need to finish and digest the book. It's not the first time I've read it, but this translation is rather sumptuous and helps elucidate a few points - as all re-reading and reappraisal should.
I am from india..so can i order this book ?
I think there is now a version on Amazon. Have a look and please let us know. :-)
I'm from Sudan where I can have one
I think Amazon now has it in paperback.
thank you for explaining this because I cant afford that book
I totally understand and appreciate you checking this replay out.
If you become serious about the memory arts, it’s worth saving up for, to be sure.
Have you seen my more recent videos on Bruno? I think they’ll be useful and interesting for you.
omg it's out of stock.... I'm too late :C
It might come back. Keep checking in! :-)
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM oki oki! ty!
:)
Just learned of him. Anyone who has their life given for truth is well worth an investigation. Long live truth.
Agreed. My next video goes deeper into another one of his books. Please stand by.
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM can I still buy these books, if so how do I find them?
Here's the upcoming Bruno video:
th-cam.com/video/NcM3VBdlIvc/w-d-xo.html
I believe the paperback version of this exact translation remains on Amazon.
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM thank you, I will take a look.
Happy reading!
I am an Indian and wanted to know more about his theory
Great!
Have you seen this video which dives deeper into his techniques?
th-cam.com/video/k3GGcO5Cx3I/w-d-xo.html
Please watch it in full and then follow up with part two. Part three coming soon.
After 20 minutes I still don't know anything at all of the contents of this book...
Sorry about that - this was a livestream for my subscribers. There will be a review later. This edition is likely already sold out, however.
Thanks for checking it out nonetheless and hope to see you on a future livestream. Do you use memory techniques?
Bruno the Nolan.
Good to point that out. There may be implicit ties between Bruno and Vedanta, now that you mention it.
Bruno was from the town of Nola, near Naples. He called himself "Il Nolano", the Nolan. Any association with Christopher Nolan (none of whose movies I have ever seen) is unintentional.
It's more than that. Nola is possibly where he first considered the idea of infinite worlds. Groundbreaking stuff, and again, I sense the possibility of a link with Vedanta. It's not clear what texts from that tradition might have been in the area, but I would not be surprised, especially given things he says in his memory writings.
As for Christopher Nolan, Inception is perhaps the most memory-related of his films, but Interstellar is definitely Nolan in the Bruno sense of the word. :)
Yeah, he was killed for heresy. He's a genius.
Yes, an incredibly smart man, judging by the works we have from him. Have you read much? :)
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM I haven't read much about him.
You just said he was a genius... How little do you have to read before you make that pronouncement? I ask this question in kindness and genuinely would love to know how you come to this conclusion if you haven't read much.
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM Oh sorry if I have offended you. I read about him from the art of memory forum. I was actually searching for mnemonic images for syllables so that I can be faster at memorizing abstract words then I came across him. I typed his name on google and found out the contributions he made to memory. I didn't read much about him afterward. That's why i said i don't know much about him. Hope you understand please.
I'm not offended - I'm just looking out for you. It sounded like you didn't really have exposure enough to conclusively decide this, and as you know, the MMM Community places a premium on critical thinking. If you read him directly, rather than forwarding on the opinions of others, you might come to other conclusions. Just a tip for you. :)
Hashir Karachi Pakistan
Thanks for checking this out, Hashir. Have you heard of this book before? :)
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM no.... Thanks for great sharing
Thanks, Hashir. Appreciated! :)
All My Heroes Have been murdered
All? That would be an interesting list to see.
On the contrary, all of my heroes are alive, including the dead ones.
For example, where else is Bruno but in the minds of those who keep interacting with the books through reading and discussion?
El nolano era un mago..mag..en todo el centido de la palabra .por lo tanto todo lo que escribio es solo para kien esta iniciado en la nosis ..los demas pierden el tiempo o ban directo al auto engaño ala interpretación errada 😉 para entenderlo tienen que darse ciertas reglas naturales en la conciencia individual ciertas sintergias en las reglas de la luz..😅👍saludos de Valparaíso .chile..
