Ok this was supposed to be a brief response to a single comment and now it's alive and has breached containment, so if yall don't want to read this then just wait for the video. The stars have decided that I needed to write a whole dam script about music theory, and apparently this is gonna be that. So someone in the comments has protested that the things I said about music theory are invalid because the 12 tone system is an "arbitrary" artifact of "western harmony", and I feel like this is something worth addressing at length. The statement isn't very surprising, and in fact qualifiers such as "western" have come to be extremely common within modern music education due to the fact that it - like all other branches of the modern humanities - has become so inextricably contaminated by the self-cannibalizing necrosis that is postmodern relativism. If one does a quick google search for a question like "why are there 12 notes" or "why are scales composed of 7 notes rather than 8" or "why does major sound uplifting while minor sounds melancholic", then you are going to find a slew of non-answers which essentially indicate that these are all no more than arbitrary, contingent products of cultural conditioning which have no basis in anything beyond the confines of "subjective" aesthetics. This is, as the great Plato himself once said, "an utter crock of horse-shit", and I would like to briefly (lol) explain why that is the case; Modern diatonic, or solar, harmony is derived from Pythagorean music theory. Pythagoras developed a tuning system based on the perfect fourth and perfect fifth, which correlate with the ratios 4:3 and 3:2, respectively, and which are mirrors of one another; a perfect fifth "up" is the same as a perfect fourth "down" and vice-versa. Pythagoras found that by arranging fourths/fifths into a circle, one would arrive at (aaaalmost) one's starting note after 12 steps. You could start on C, for example, and then go to G, and then continue along until you arrived back at (aaaalmost) an exact multiple of the initial frequency - i.e., the note C on a higher or lower octave. The privileging of the fourth/fifth is not an "arbitrary" peculiarity of "western" music. The octave, fourth and fifth ratios are built into the very fabric of nature itself, as we see within the natural overtone series. When you strike a metal barrel with a stick, the metal barrel also privileges fourth/fifth relationships when it resonates, regardless as to whether the metal barrel has been conditioned by the contingencies of "western" culture or not. Now the "aaaalmost" in the above explanation is significant, for reasons I'll be elaborating further in a future video about music theory specifically. It's called the "Pythagorean Coma" and it's a very big deal, but it does not indicate that the 12-tone cycle is "arbitrary"; it indicates that we are dealing with a spiral, not a wheel. The Greeks were none too fond of this, as they liked to characterize transcendental objects as unchanging, eternal crystals that existed completely outside of time, but from our vantage point we can see the implications more clearly; tensions - and therefore potentials for transformation - are built into the very **mathematical** fabric of reality itself. Frictions within the eternal objects themselves necessitate metamorphosis. So why 7 notes? In order to understand this, we need to first understand the actual difference between consonance and dissonance. If you google "what is dissonance?" you are going to get one of two explanations - one, half true / the other, complete nonsense. The complete nonsense explanation is that consonance and dissonance are completely arbitrary products of cultural conditioning. This is false. And absolute brain-rot. Moving on. The half-true explanation is that the difference between consonance and dissonance is determined by the mathematical complexity of musical ratios. This is aaaaalmost true, because it aaaalmost gets to the real heart of the matter, but it doesn't, and we can see this inadequacy once we start comparing different intervals. The tritone interval, when played by itself, is as dissonant as dissonant can get, but is it the most "complex" ratio? Yes? No? Maybe? within the Pythagorean tuning system the tritone interval is the square root of two. Is that complex? Who is defining "complexity" anyway? If we start looking at other tuning systems like equal temperament and just intonation, the story gets even more convoluted, and it becomes alot more ambiguous as to whether or not the tritone is the most mathematically complex interval ratio. It is certainly very close - at the very least - to the minor second interval in terms of mathematical complexity, and yet we can easily hear that the tritone is far more dissonant, phenomenologically. The tritone is also treated as far more dissonant in musical practices as well. You can end a piece of music on a major seven chord with a minor second interval inside it and noone will bat an eye. It sounds fine. Try that with a tritone interval like a b5 or #11? Not unless you are intentionally trying to close with something that sounds extremely unresolved. Why? Because when you hear the minor second interval, even by itself, you will immediately begin interpreting one of the two notes as the center of harmonic gravity; the root. The distance between the two notes is not identical, and the human mind will immediately latch onto this asymmetry as an indication of an encompassing principle of order and begin to fill in the blanks. You can't do that with a tritone because it cuts the octave in half, **exactly**. There is no way your mind can figure out which note is the center of gravity, and therefore what you experience is just pure chaos unless the tritone is nested within something larger within which it makes sense (like a Δ#11 for example). Augmented chords sound extremely dissonant for basically the exact same reason. Dissonance is not complexity - it is the relationship between contrast and unifying order. Difference and synthesis. Multiplicity and unity. Because of this extreme dissonance, the tritone comes to serve as a kind of harmonic rubber-band which implies a certain interval as the tonic; b-f (tritons) --implies--> c-e (Major Third, which is also implicated within the harmonic series). The key in question is **defined** through this teleological relationship between the tritone and the tonic within solar harmony. This is not a peculiarity of western cultural conditioning. It's just what happens when you start building music out of chord motions rather than static modes. You can make things more complicated by implementing microtonal variations and whatnot (i.e., taking advantage of the Pythagorean Coma), but the core will always be the triton/tonic relationship. So why seven notes? Because if you add an eighth note, you now have a scale with TWO tritones, and you will have thus created a phenomenological ambiguity regarding which resolution relationship is actually being implicated as the center of harmonic gravity. Now of course you can do so anyway; you could include the #7 of the harmonic minor, and even the #4 of Hungarian minor on top of the natural minor scale to make what is effectively a 9-note scale which sounds like screaming blood-drenched demonic razor blades. Doing that sounds really cool imo, but, assuming for whatever reason you want to make music that does NOT sound like screaming blood-drenched demonic razor-blades, then you probably want to stick to 7 notes. Thus we end our scales at the tritone interval, which is exactly where the circle of fifths in divided in half. Different cultures do indeed have different musical practices, but this idea that musical phenomenology is "arbitrary" is inexcusable brain-rot. What makes "western" (i.e., Solar) music unique is that it has most thoroughly developed the concept of chord movement through tritone functionality. Most musical traditions throughout the world are mostly modal, and modal music is in certain ways less restrained than solar harmony, because the center of harmonic gravity is established through things like pedal points moreso than through tritone functions. I could keep going on an on about this but I'll leave it at that for now. Cheers
Some extra remarks, which might help you in writing the script on music theory: harmonic theory is way more complex than you make it seem in your last video. Ionian mode is what western music mostly describes as “major” (happy), and aeolian “minor” (sad). In the circle of fifths this is also shown by a smaller inner circle which is turned by 1/4th of a rotation. There is also enharmonic equivalence, and the different possible patterns that can be created within the circle of fifths is almost endless (jazz theory explorers this more in depth). Furthermore, the choice to divide an octave (a platonic doubling of the wavelength) into 7 tones or 12 semitones is also not universally fixed, since microtonality opens up a whole new world of different fractions of tones within an octave, or other irregular divisions. The different diatonic scale modes are based on the sequence of note intervals between each note on the scale, whether this is a semitone or a wholetone, and thus they are dependant on what note is taken as the root, making it variable, like solfege. Within colour theory it is important to distinguish between colour spectrums within the context of light; colour paint; pixels; and photoreceptors. I think you should argue why certain colours may be associated with planetary archetypes. Mars is red because its surface is red and its associated god is one of fiery fury, Venus has a yellow surface and the mellowness of this colour fits the archetypal energy of this goddess, but not all planets fit neatly into their little box, because these correlations are dependent on waaay more complex processes of planet formation, and are not rigid platonic correspondences.
i think i 'aaalmost' fell off my chair and spilled my coffee when you mentioned those sexy screaming blood-drenched demonic razor blades 'uwu' Thats my kink!
I don't know what other people see when listening to these videos, but I always imagine a wizard pulling out an old tome and reading me some long forgotten forbidden knowledge. Ive almost listened to everything you've uploaded man, its insane the amount of concepts you've helped me understand. You've also introduced me to minds and theories i may have never discovered on my own. I genuinely hope that you can make a day job out of TH-cam, this channel is an amazing resource that i wouldnt want to go without
Your ability to go in depth and deal with dense, complex ideas and concepts while remaining clear and easy to understand is sincerely extraordinary and I've encountered very few parallels. Keep up the great work.
it's easy to understand for someone with an in depth understanding of philosophy, metaphysics, and physics. I've showed these to my fiancé and she thinks he is speaking a different language half the time. needless to say formscapes may be the spearhead of the birth of a new paradigm of reality, science and metaphysics/spirituality merging
@gmw3083 this has been happening for sometime. There have been a lot of great works of synthesis in the past couple decades, the majority of whom have flown under the radar. Not to detract from this series of great works, but access to this mode of thinking has been ever available. God does not just exist in the mind, but is always present in all things. I have come to understand that the "lesser" lifeforms like animals or plants or even cells, and even inanimate forms, actually have greater and greater access to the "knowledge", the first hand perception of the actualization of God's consciousness, and are more aware of the reality that they are the whole, which all entities are, and thus play their role unwavering without the ability to abstract that knowledge. However, there is no way to "appreciate" this knowledge without more and more distance from the center, the furthest reaches of which we know of, we call the human condition. And so more and more comprehension is required of the entity to attain a state of love of the whole, and experience progress, but correspondingly, a larger capacity to move away from it and suffer, which paradoxically, also moves the entity towards it.
@@gmw3083 lmfao I have never and will never use AI for any part of my production process. I even make all of the background music from scratch even though I could easily just generate AI ambient music, specifically because I despise AI. I DARE you to get one of those worthless robots to write anything remotely like one of my scripts. 😂
two concepts I hope in incorporate in my thinking. "we're going to generalize the orphanoman to the archtypal realm. " and "dead means already decided." thanks so much for the work you're doing
LET'S GO!!! I've been listening to Steiner non-stop for the past several weeks...I can't get enough of it. I'm so excited to hear you go in on Steiner's work.
It's a life long process to dive through his massive body of work. And then there are his close peers and the Goethean science section. Seriously is never ending.
In fact he mentions a lot of names that's I've looked into over the past four years..but he dose describe things clearly for me to understand I have re listen to them a few times
Bro thank you so much seriously idk what to say. you've created something so unique and beautiful its hard to put into words how valuable it is :) onward and upward!!!
Like nothing I’ve ever seen or heard(first vid of this channel I’ve seen). With every step like this, we chip away at the Emerald Tablet within and beyond us. Mystic, yet completely understandable, repeat upon repeat granting more stability and grasp and always another step to take. Times changing, An upcoming epoch, Paradigm shift. We are all granted this same oneness and Potentiality right in front of our souls, waiting and watching our reach, granting what we are owed, what we strive for. Thank you for connecting all of us through this system of algorithms and transforming it, using it for what I truly think to be the most important movement, and so damn eloquently. I’ll be back after the first 5 minutes. I have no idea what is in store but I am so ready. Anyone reading this who has any recommendations similar to this, please share! And chances are, if you’re watching this video and reading this comment(which you probably are) you have the same spirit and potential to push out into the world; your own path, your own time, your own voice. We can do this. Okay continuing from 4:53, and likely making my way through the rest of these arcane ass videos
Thank you so much for the "real person/real talk" ending! I absolutely LOVE this channel and appreciate what you do more than you know. Looking forward to the Rudolph Steiner lessons 🙏♥️
Bro, how the fuck did you do that?! I needed to hear this SO fucking bad man, I have known these things in the past, but lately I have been lost as fuck. I have started to believe that none of these things were real, and I was in a sort of psychosis when I believed them? But you just put all that together so eloquently and articulately. Beautiful, I used to be a writer too, and I know how difficult it can be to form these ideas into a coherent thought and then break in down into cohesive bite sized layers, then worked through them slowly and delicately. Just beauty, pure beauty, thank you, thank you, thank you! I love you brother!
You are one of the few modern Sages that I truly appreciate and feel the conveyed love and light wrapped and intended to be decoded by the correct viewers. Keep em coming. Chant down, Babylon!
I admire many things about your channel, but one of the best is your intellectual courage. Your video lectures are always brave adventures in exploring the frontiers of philosophy, science, and religion. You are always crystal clear and rigorously challenging. Every video lecture is an electrifying experience. You make connections between the ancient religions and contemporary cutting-edge science. Thank you! Your interview with Rupert Sheldrake was mutually illuminating. You should try getting an interview with Charles Taylor about his recent books on poetry and imagination. You two would have much to say to each other.
I'll be honest--I haven't watched much of your content but the one that made me pay attention was about the coming epochal shift. The late 18th century was insane and if there are parallels to it we are all in for some wild times.
What seems to be going on here is that we are just now entering a major transformation period which occurs about once every 250 years - at least since the 11th century. These periods correlate with the Pluto/Aquarius cycle. It seems to taper off as we go further back, into history which I take to imply that these cycles are intensifying as we move from the Piscean epoch to the Aquarian epoch. What this implies then, is that the transformations happening right now are going to be of the same order of magnitude as the discovery of electrical technologies, the printing press, the birth of capitalist economic theory, the 30 years war, etc etc Which is quite ominous, to say the least.
psycho active archetypes changed my life and seeing how much research and impeccability you put in these discouraged me at first, since I'm just starting to share what I have learned through archetypes, allegory, sound, and movement....but I know I'll find my own ways of articulating that will hopefully resonate and impact people like you have for me!
Thank you so much for what you do. Your work is received as a beautiful, loving gift to the world (even if it was perhaps not necessarily intended to be as such, still). Thank you for you.
I`ve always wondered how the singularity folds upon itself to become numenos, and if it's the scope of human evolutionary necessities that to even frame an answer to that question make us perceive the interpay bewtween expansion/contraction in a dual form of a labile equilibrium. Every "video" is pure distilled gold of ever growing increasing quality. thanks
It's funny because I've been depressed as hell lately and basically had to force myself to even make this one in a mentally chaotic daze. And then I finished it and sat back and watched the video like... dude what the actual fuck, this is actually a banger lol
This is absolutely fantastic. Many aspects of these ideas seem to be aligned wonderfully with the more modern works of John Vervaeke et. al. and I’m truly overjoyed to see this wisdom perpetuated more and more.
If you ever worry about the readiness of grasp of the difficult concepts you convey, remember that you are uniquely able to reach certain ones of us who find ourselves otherwise alone on a high and desolate peak.
Great job! Absolutely beautiful expressions. I was very impressed. My mind could only hold the notions for a moment until the ego took over once again but I understood it deeply.
Very grateful that you started your channel friend. For years i have been studying the lectures of alan watts, sacred geometry, philosophy and the hermetic teachings (specifically "hermes vol. 3" on TH-cam. Your lectures do a fantastic job on helping me understand all i mentioned above, much better. Live long and prosper
As someone who grew up a materialist/objectivist and found their own way to somewhere far closer to the phenomenal, I just wanted to say the segment on music and light, then weight, finally helped me see that subjective experience varies only due to our different configuration, which unlocks the ability to understand that phenomena do have definite arrangements. A huge breakthrough. Not sure about the other stuff... something that can explain why certain elements and shapes, objects and attributes, are related, rather than just calling upon history, would be valuable.
I always thought of plato’s cave to mean escaping the illusory and reaching reality, not the transcendental. I’d argue both are the same because how can something be above reality but not reflected in it?
I keep saying I'm gonna do an Elden Ring analysis video but good fucking god there is so much to sort through in order to really do that properly. I've also never played the game and so my knowledge of the lore is strictly from secondary sources so that probably doesn't help.
Another amazing banger, i always love and appreciate the polymathic approach you bring of merging concepts from different fields of observation and study to paint a larger picture of our experiential universe. Looking forward to the future videos with the direction youre taking, so synchronous with my own personal path of interest and exploration. And how "coincidental" is it that your name Kehlan is pronounced the same as my name Keillan and ive never met another person with the same name as mine (not one with the same pronunciation and definitely not one with the same spelling) Godspeed fellow traveller 🧘
The book Technic and Magic by Federico Campagna . Amazing book at this time in my life and putting so much together. If you're here, then i highly recommend checking this book out!
Could be because it’s actually nature that is thinking the thought, resonating through many minds like how many neurons fire together in one brain 🤷♂️
@ 51:36. okay i read a few books about this and your ability to synthesize everything made me understand everything so much better! appreciate you for this. it would be cool to find a way to plug in someone’s birth chart and dominant planets to hear their soul’s cosmic sound. (edited you’re for your)
I was also thinking about that. I'm gonna be doing a whole video on the music theory aspects of this, and I noticed a few things after publishing this video which are really interesting, particularly relating to the difference between major and minor intervals and how that relates to trine/sextile and square/opposition relationships in astrology. I would need to collaborate with someone who actually knows enough about programming (and astrology) to make something that could function properly, but that would be unbelievably cool.
Your video crystalizes and communicates much of the things I experience directly. I have known all of this to be true by a sort of second nature as I have always from the beginning felt deeply my connection with the world. I feel the universe as my own body and I am able to extract information about it with great accuracy much like how you would perceive and interpret information through the medium of your senses. I find available to my consciousness an infinite range of potential sensory mediums which dynamically make themselves available and orient themselves to bring forward the knowing of what I have come to know as an expression of my own being. This being is of course Identical with your being and all being. Consciousness is not bound, but served by the material constitutes and structures we have created for ourselves to experience ourself through; meaning this body, its genetic history and that which has taken shape through it. This particular lens was shaped for the express purpose to know the self from a new perspective and for the self to know you. A form a fragrance never before seen. I notice a desire to see things as real only if they can be held by the intellect as an identifiable and quantifiable object. As though ontology must cater to the limitations of the intellectual aspect. There seems to be this cultural conditioning brought about by the presence of reductionism which seems to only find reality in complexity. As though the egoic desire to rise above others in intellectual prowess has distorted authentic seeking for truth into defining truth as only that which bolsters that sense of intellectual superiority. I don't see this as a conscious process either, yet I also see a lack of self reflection on the part of those which claim to know. For if they were to deeply examine those structures of mind they have constructed and identified with, they would come to destabilize their very sense of self and be thrust again into the void. Through that void and the humility of mind to prostrate itself to its formative origin does reality reveal itself. You and only hear and eye if your eyes and ears are open, you can only know if your mind is quiet. The ego is crucified and out of its surrender blooms pure expression and knowing of the animating spirit, your eternal being. You cannot perceive reality because you cannot stand apart from it, you cannot grasp truth because you are not outside of it. The mind uses structures to define and explain the world, yet this examination is of objects of infinite dimension given that the observer itself is infinite in dimension. You are reality, you are truth, and this life and life itself is the exploration and expansion of ourself. We are Creators, We are the Creator prior to any form we create and experience. As we expand in our knowing and our being, so to does the mystery, and as the mystery expands, so to do we.
So that's why one of the outer gods is called The Formless Mother in Elden Ring. I thought it was just a HP Lovecraft incomprehensible to describe kind of thing originally.
This video proves you to be a true modern rosicrusian in the most honerable since posible, your work is beyond amazing, it's abuility to obliterate scientific steriotypes withought the slightest sacrifice in critical thinking and logical reasoning is astounding. Thank you good sir, for existing
I'm sure you probably know this but careful uploading in the middle of the night. It's a death sentence in the algorithm. Those initial views/hour are crucial for recommendations. That said, excited as always!
Once you have enough subs it doesn't matter anymore. The people who are gonna click on the day of the upload are gonna click one way or another. Uploading at prime time can give a decent looking boost at first but it levels out
It's after about 2 days where things really matter, because that's what determines whether the algorithm starts recommending the video to new people or if it just gets buried under newer uploads.
Coming back to this.. I need to rewatch the music video lol. So. Math maps on really well to the unfolding you present here. It's not surprising per se but it is very cool to see.
This was implied, but for anyone who may not have caught it, he described F Lydian (to be specific) when beginning his explanation of musical scales. The scales C major (or C Ionian), D Dorian, E Phrygian, F Lydian, G Mixolydian, A Aeolian (or A minor), and B Locrian actually all have the same exact notes: C D E F G A B. The only difference between these 7 modes (the technical term) of the C major scale is what note is being tonicized, or what note the musicians are centering around relationally. Modes are all about emphasis and creating the feeling as though a particular note is supposed to be "home base", which relates very well back to the overall idea that values and subjectivity are what's important in shaping experiential reality.
I’ve been loving your videos formscapes. such unique and unusual ideas. I dont mean to sound like one of those “crackpots” but do you have any ideas which give value to the concept of ‘jumping timelines’ or reality transurfing or reality shifting ?
I honestly don't think those ideas are much more than escapist fantasies. There is no need to escape to other worlds. This world is the place where the story is being told that we are meant to play a role within. Though with that said, we certainly do have the power to "shift" reality in the sense that we can completely transform our lives through little more than intention and inner clarity, but that's not the same as escaping into an alternative "timeline".
Root words for Will is "to wish, to desire; to" choose;" to "hope;" "to command; to favor," Hmmm. So Free Will would be Free of wishing. Free of desire. Free of choosing. Free of hoping. Free of commanding. Free of favoring. How very interesting. Interestingly, Existence in Latin is exsistere which is to ‘come into being’, its root words are ex- ‘come out’ + sistere ‘take a stand’.. So what are we standing out from when we are Living in Existence?
This channel, which I used to love when it was less abstract and esoteric, has gone the way of gnosticism, preaching salvation through Intricate knowledge of hidden things. The creator of this channel is such an intelligent and intellectually courageous young man, no doubt with much to say to us when he gets back on an existential track. What I mean is best conveyed in Kierkegaard's comment about Hegel, to the effect that he built a palace in his mind but lived, like all of us, in the hovel next door.
The ultimate point I'm making is the exact opposite. To quote Wittgenstein, who was also influenced heavily by Goethe; Nothing is hidden. The power which we must cultivate is the recognition of that which is already in front of us.
@@Formscapes I disagree with that commenter's critique but I think it's an interesting one because this is a description of the way that this kind of thinking *can* up if it's not self-disciplined. It's the classic negative power of Chokmah on the ToL--becoming too baroque, too intricate, until the mind is like a massive but disorganized library full of cobwebs. I like your channel because you're remarkably good at maintaining precision even as you delve into these depths, but all of us who are interested in these topics benefit from keeping the negative side of Chokmah in mind.
I have Pluto in the first house and absolutely feel like the world is alien. I have no friends and I'm mostly ok with that. People are complicated and generally not worth my time. I do not understand anyone, it's a 2-way street. Problem child/Black sheep/freak for life! ✌️❤️
I personally believe this is all perceptual. If you need to integrate geometry into it, it works, but cannot be unified without the entire system collapsing on itself. Geometric Sacredness has to do with spiritual healing for allowing the soul to strengthen, at which point we shed an old crystalline layer by breaking through with a new one, it is transformation through death. Your description of will to life resonates with this, however there is just "being" and to appreciate being. That seems to more well describe will to life.
About Kant: Gary Geck taught me that Godel thought no one really understood Kant. Godel took a few statements from Kant that were provably false, gave them a slight revision, and all of a sudden, you get the same insight that Godel's own incompleteness theorem gives you, but in fewer words. So Godel was sure there was a whole treasure trove in Kant waiting to be discovered. But he didn't have the time or the resources.
I want to take this and make it into a culture for a language but I'd have no clue were to start... I might've the gist, but I'm new to animism and spirituality in general
Instasubbed to your channel since the last video I saw. Glad you're going into Goethe and Steiner. I'm reading Man or Matter by Ernst Lehrs. I tried several times to get into Steiner (lazily) but always drew a line, because stuff was getting really weird. Goethe's method however I had no problem with. Would be nice if you could share literature you consulted reading up on your vids. I would recommend you look at student of Gurdieff's J. G. Bennet. I was refered to him by Zajonc's book on Goethe's Science. His book Elementary Systematics might be of interests as well as his The Dramatic Universe 4-volume series (wanna delve to that one).
I very much enjoyed your program. It provided insight into things that go on in my mind when I smoke small amounts of marijuana. I've been calling it "trying to Reel in a Powerful Spirit I encounter when I smoke small amounts of marijuana". I've been doing it daily Consistently since May 2013 and My Mind needs to be Examined 🧐. I would like to say you are on the Right Track - Let's hear what You think 🤔 21:53 Tuesday August 20, 2024V😇
@Formscapes I'm curious if certain color palettes that define certain generations is another planetary signifier or manifestation of that energy within the phenomenology of color ie. olive greens and dark browns in the 80's, preceded by lots of Groovy and swirly orange in the 70's. Does this question make sense? I'm new to a lot of this terminology 😅 Ps this is your best work yet and I'm on my 4th listen. This feels like very important information
Teacher I have studied your work and now I understand, you are not the first to come upon these truths. It is said when time came to create the world the Elohim took there knives and made "holes" in space. Thus all forms are holes in space. Form is Atom, which inturn is Body which qualitativly is solidity. Space is actually Density, which inturn is unconditional. Therefore density is greater than solidity. The unconditional give birth to condition, and thus is more real, more substantial, than Atom the condition. All atoms come from space and will eventually dissolve back into it. Therefore every "form" thus ever planet, star, galaxy, creature or object and system that appears, is a solidity emanating from density. Pythagoras stated that the world was form by the divin power retiring from the center of itself to the circumference and leaving a vaccum. Thank you for your work, Teacher.
Atoms are not tiny balls in space but holes in space!!! Also, for all other readers, the statement above is my understanding and is specifically targeted to the Teacher's work on Matter and by no means even close to a total compressive understanding is his teachings, which encompasses, many more subjects that just simply Matter.
This is a little off-topic, but I would love to get your opinion on a book I stumbled across called "Cyclonopedia" by Reza Negarestani. Sentient oil. Im not sure if you heard of it but i thought you might find it interesting.
It reminds me of a thing I came up with for a TTRPG setting (one that I've been working on for literally like 6 years now) where the "underdark" caverns were literally veins that darkness flowed through like blood, and the darkness could densify to become "ember-ink" (kinda like oil) or crystalize to form "Voidstone", both of which are used for technological purposes, but also serve as conduits for spiritual entities. There were also three distinct forms of darkness; Shroud (regular darkness), Void (predatory darkness which literally sucks the life out of biological organisms in order to feed) and Gloam (which biological organisms, like subterranean flora, can feed off of, and which can energize animals or humans, but which can result in mutations and psychosis through prolonged exposure).
Dude wtf I just started this book today, didn’t expect to see a shoutout here. But then again only a few pages in and the synchronicities are already flowing so I shouldn’t be surprised at all. But he just introduced the term “Hyperstition” which is boiling my brain soup.
@isawamoose Its very intellectually dense. You have to have a broad understanding of alot of different fields to be able to read it fluently. I have to keep googling the meaning of certain words because it's just so dense. The name is fitting that's for sure
Lol I'm a dummy but this is all very intriguing and seems way more intuitive. But I'm curious why the popular physicists aren't talking about this stuff?
Because academic physics turned into a circle jerk of mathematical toy-tinkering and public relations campaigns in the mid twentieth century and has become increasingly disassociated from the natural world ever since. This is something I discuss at length in a number of videos if you're new here.
@@Formscapes yes I'm new here and plan on watching it all.. But that makes sense.. Some of them have been bringing up exactly what you mentioned, so maybe soon the ludites of the physics world will come along... The hard part will be the universities that practice nepotism and such.. Love the vids my guy! Keep it up! What you're doing is important.. But I'm sure you don't need me telling you that.. 🤣
@@Formscapes You should totally reach out to them! I'm sure a lot of people who watch that channel would love your stuff, first of all, and from what I can tell there's also a lot of overlap between their communal ontology and what you've been putting forward.
Hello short question here, it is subjective, each experience of the human being but wouldn't that imply that one that has grown better is capable of understanding more thus being closer to the wholeistic truth? Which would be the subjective truth of the universe

Ok this was supposed to be a brief response to a single comment and now it's alive and has breached containment, so if yall don't want to read this then just wait for the video. The stars have decided that I needed to write a whole dam script about music theory, and apparently this is gonna be that.
So someone in the comments has protested that the things I said about music theory are invalid because the 12 tone system is an "arbitrary" artifact of "western harmony", and I feel like this is something worth addressing at length.
The statement isn't very surprising, and in fact qualifiers such as "western" have come to be extremely common within modern music education due to the fact that it - like all other branches of the modern humanities - has become so inextricably contaminated by the self-cannibalizing necrosis that is postmodern relativism. If one does a quick google search for a question like "why are there 12 notes" or "why are scales composed of 7 notes rather than 8" or "why does major sound uplifting while minor sounds melancholic", then you are going to find a slew of non-answers which essentially indicate that these are all no more than arbitrary, contingent products of cultural conditioning which have no basis in anything beyond the confines of "subjective" aesthetics.
This is, as the great Plato himself once said, "an utter crock of horse-shit", and I would like to briefly (lol) explain why that is the case;
Modern diatonic, or solar, harmony is derived from Pythagorean music theory. Pythagoras developed a tuning system based on the perfect fourth and perfect fifth, which correlate with the ratios 4:3 and 3:2, respectively, and which are mirrors of one another; a perfect fifth "up" is the same as a perfect fourth "down" and vice-versa. Pythagoras found that by arranging fourths/fifths into a circle, one would arrive at (aaaalmost) one's starting note after 12 steps. You could start on C, for example, and then go to G, and then continue along until you arrived back at (aaaalmost) an exact multiple of the initial frequency - i.e., the note C on a higher or lower octave. The privileging of the fourth/fifth is not an "arbitrary" peculiarity of "western" music. The octave, fourth and fifth ratios are built into the very fabric of nature itself, as we see within the natural overtone series. When you strike a metal barrel with a stick, the metal barrel also privileges fourth/fifth relationships when it resonates, regardless as to whether the metal barrel has been conditioned by the contingencies of "western" culture or not.
Now the "aaaalmost" in the above explanation is significant, for reasons I'll be elaborating further in a future video about music theory specifically. It's called the "Pythagorean Coma" and it's a very big deal, but it does not indicate that the 12-tone cycle is "arbitrary"; it indicates that we are dealing with a spiral, not a wheel. The Greeks were none too fond of this, as they liked to characterize transcendental objects as unchanging, eternal crystals that existed completely outside of time, but from our vantage point we can see the implications more clearly; tensions - and therefore potentials for transformation - are built into the very **mathematical** fabric of reality itself. Frictions within the eternal objects themselves necessitate metamorphosis.
So why 7 notes? In order to understand this, we need to first understand the actual difference between consonance and dissonance. If you google "what is dissonance?" you are going to get one of two explanations - one, half true / the other, complete nonsense.
The complete nonsense explanation is that consonance and dissonance are completely arbitrary products of cultural conditioning. This is false. And absolute brain-rot. Moving on.
The half-true explanation is that the difference between consonance and dissonance is determined by the mathematical complexity of musical ratios. This is aaaaalmost true, because it aaaalmost gets to the real heart of the matter, but it doesn't, and we can see this inadequacy once we start comparing different intervals. The tritone interval, when played by itself, is as dissonant as dissonant can get, but is it the most "complex" ratio? Yes? No? Maybe? within the Pythagorean tuning system the tritone interval is the square root of two. Is that complex? Who is defining "complexity" anyway? If we start looking at other tuning systems like equal temperament and just intonation, the story gets even more convoluted, and it becomes alot more ambiguous as to whether or not the tritone is the most mathematically complex interval ratio.
It is certainly very close - at the very least - to the minor second interval in terms of mathematical complexity, and yet we can easily hear that the tritone is far more dissonant, phenomenologically. The tritone is also treated as far more dissonant in musical practices as well. You can end a piece of music on a major seven chord with a minor second interval inside it and noone will bat an eye. It sounds fine. Try that with a tritone interval like a b5 or #11? Not unless you are intentionally trying to close with something that sounds extremely unresolved.
Why?
Because when you hear the minor second interval, even by itself, you will immediately begin interpreting one of the two notes as the center of harmonic gravity; the root. The distance between the two notes is not identical, and the human mind will immediately latch onto this asymmetry as an indication of an encompassing principle of order and begin to fill in the blanks.
You can't do that with a tritone because it cuts the octave in half, **exactly**. There is no way your mind can figure out which note is the center of gravity, and therefore what you experience is just pure chaos unless the tritone is nested within something larger within which it makes sense (like a Δ#11 for example). Augmented chords sound extremely dissonant for basically the exact same reason. Dissonance is not complexity - it is the relationship between contrast and unifying order. Difference and synthesis. Multiplicity and unity.
Because of this extreme dissonance, the tritone comes to serve as a kind of harmonic rubber-band which implies a certain interval as the tonic; b-f (tritons) --implies--> c-e (Major Third, which is also implicated within the harmonic series). The key in question is **defined** through this teleological relationship between the tritone and the tonic within solar harmony. This is not a peculiarity of western cultural conditioning. It's just what happens when you start building music out of chord motions rather than static modes. You can make things more complicated by implementing microtonal variations and whatnot (i.e., taking advantage of the Pythagorean Coma), but the core will always be the triton/tonic relationship.
So why seven notes?
Because if you add an eighth note, you now have a scale with TWO tritones, and you will have thus created a phenomenological ambiguity regarding which resolution relationship is actually being implicated as the center of harmonic gravity. Now of course you can do so anyway; you could include the #7 of the harmonic minor, and even the #4 of Hungarian minor on top of the natural minor scale to make what is effectively a 9-note scale which sounds like screaming blood-drenched demonic razor blades. Doing that sounds really cool imo, but, assuming for whatever reason you want to make music that does NOT sound like screaming blood-drenched demonic razor-blades, then you probably want to stick to 7 notes. Thus we end our scales at the tritone interval, which is exactly where the circle of fifths in divided in half.
Different cultures do indeed have different musical practices, but this idea that musical phenomenology is "arbitrary" is inexcusable brain-rot. What makes "western" (i.e., Solar) music unique is that it has most thoroughly developed the concept of chord movement through tritone functionality. Most musical traditions throughout the world are mostly modal, and modal music is in certain ways less restrained than solar harmony, because the center of harmonic gravity is established through things like pedal points moreso than through tritone functions.
I could keep going on an on about this but I'll leave it at that for now. Cheers
Very excited for this video
"Brief" - You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means.
Just focus on your work bro. Let your actions do the speaking.
Some extra remarks, which might help you in writing the script on music theory: harmonic theory is way more complex than you make it seem in your last video. Ionian mode is what western music mostly describes as “major” (happy), and aeolian “minor” (sad). In the circle of fifths this is also shown by a smaller inner circle which is turned by 1/4th of a rotation. There is also enharmonic equivalence, and the different possible patterns that can be created within the circle of fifths is almost endless (jazz theory explorers this more in depth). Furthermore, the choice to divide an octave (a platonic doubling of the wavelength) into 7 tones or 12 semitones is also not universally fixed, since microtonality opens up a whole new world of different fractions of tones within an octave, or other irregular divisions. The different diatonic scale modes are based on the sequence of note intervals between each note on the scale, whether this is a semitone or a wholetone, and thus they are dependant on what note is taken as the root, making it variable, like solfege.
Within colour theory it is important to distinguish between colour spectrums within the context of light; colour paint; pixels; and photoreceptors.
I think you should argue why certain colours may be associated with planetary archetypes. Mars is red because its surface is red and its associated god is one of fiery fury, Venus has a yellow surface and the mellowness of this colour fits the archetypal energy of this goddess, but not all planets fit neatly into their little box, because these correlations are dependent on waaay more complex processes of planet formation, and are not rigid platonic correspondences.
i think i 'aaalmost' fell off my chair and spilled my coffee when you mentioned those sexy screaming blood-drenched demonic razor blades 'uwu' Thats my kink!
I don't know what other people see when listening to these videos, but I always imagine a wizard pulling out an old tome and reading me some long forgotten forbidden knowledge. Ive almost listened to everything you've uploaded man, its insane the amount of concepts you've helped me understand. You've also introduced me to minds and theories i may have never discovered on my own. I genuinely hope that you can make a day job out of TH-cam, this channel is an amazing resource that i wouldnt want to go without
What he said 👏🏻
Your ability to go in depth and deal with dense, complex ideas and concepts while remaining clear and easy to understand is sincerely extraordinary and I've encountered very few parallels. Keep up the great work.
it's easy to understand for someone with an in depth understanding of philosophy, metaphysics, and physics. I've showed these to my fiancé and she thinks he is speaking a different language half the time. needless to say formscapes may be the spearhead of the birth of a new paradigm of reality, science and metaphysics/spirituality merging
He is indeed a fantastic synthesizer and translator of difficult material.
@gmw3083 this has been happening for sometime. There have been a lot of great works of synthesis in the past couple decades, the majority of whom have flown under the radar. Not to detract from this series of great works, but access to this mode of thinking has been ever available. God does not just exist in the mind, but is always present in all things. I have come to understand that the "lesser" lifeforms like animals or plants or even cells, and even inanimate forms, actually have greater and greater access to the "knowledge", the first hand perception of the actualization of God's consciousness, and are more aware of the reality that they are the whole, which all entities are, and thus play their role unwavering without the ability to abstract that knowledge. However, there is no way to "appreciate" this knowledge without more and more distance from the center, the furthest reaches of which we know of, we call the human condition. And so more and more comprehension is required of the entity to attain a state of love of the whole, and experience progress, but correspondingly, a larger capacity to move away from it and suffer, which paradoxically, also moves the entity towards it.
@@gmw3083 lmfao I have never and will never use AI for any part of my production process. I even make all of the background music from scratch even though I could easily just generate AI ambient music, specifically because I despise AI.
I DARE you to get one of those worthless robots to write anything remotely like one of my scripts. 😂
two concepts I hope in incorporate in my thinking. "we're going to generalize the orphanoman to the archtypal realm. " and "dead means already decided." thanks so much for the work you're doing

He has returned in our time of need.
Glad to see you're still here man!
LET'S GO!!! I've been listening to Steiner non-stop for the past several weeks...I can't get enough of it. I'm so excited to hear you go in on Steiner's work.
It's a life long process to dive through his massive body of work. And then there are his close peers and the Goethean science section. Seriously is never ending.
@@AetherForce I believe it... I'm excited to be on the path 😀
In fact he mentions a lot of names that's I've looked into over the past four years..but he dose describe things clearly for me to understand I have re listen to them a few times
Bro thank you so much seriously idk what to say. you've created something so unique and beautiful its hard to put into words how valuable it is :) onward and upward!!!
Words. Jn 17:17
Every time your videos pop up is when I need them your like a genie thanks
Like nothing I’ve ever seen or heard(first vid of this channel I’ve seen). With every step like this, we chip away at the Emerald Tablet within and beyond us. Mystic, yet completely understandable, repeat upon repeat granting more stability and grasp and always another step to take.
Times changing, An upcoming epoch, Paradigm shift. We are all granted this same oneness and Potentiality right in front of our souls, waiting and watching our reach, granting what we are owed, what we strive for. Thank you for connecting all of us through this system of algorithms and transforming it, using it for what I truly think to be the most important movement, and so damn eloquently. I’ll be back after the first 5 minutes. I have no idea what is in store but I am so ready. Anyone reading this who has any recommendations similar to this, please share! And chances are, if you’re watching this video and reading this comment(which you probably are) you have the same spirit and potential to push out into the world; your own path, your own time, your own voice.
We can do this.
Okay continuing from 4:53, and likely making my way through the rest of these arcane ass videos
You’re bold, and you back it up. Thank you for your work, thank you for your daring 🙏
Thank you so much for the "real person/real talk" ending! I absolutely LOVE this channel and appreciate what you do more than you know. Looking forward to the Rudolph Steiner lessons 🙏♥️
And I was just about to go to bed, too lol
Not tonight, mfer
Bro, how the fuck did you do that?! I needed to hear this SO fucking bad man, I have known these things in the past, but lately I have been lost as fuck. I have started to believe that none of these things were real, and I was in a sort of psychosis when I believed them? But you just put all that together so eloquently and articulately. Beautiful, I used to be a writer too, and I know how difficult it can be to form these ideas into a coherent thought and then break in down into cohesive bite sized layers, then worked through them slowly and delicately. Just beauty, pure beauty, thank you, thank you, thank you! I love you brother!
You are one of the few modern Sages that I truly appreciate and feel the conveyed love and light wrapped and intended to be decoded by the correct viewers.
Keep em coming.
Chant down, Babylon!
I admire many things about your channel, but one of the best is your intellectual courage. Your video lectures are always brave adventures in exploring the frontiers of philosophy, science, and religion. You are always crystal clear and rigorously challenging. Every video lecture is an electrifying experience. You make connections between the ancient religions and contemporary cutting-edge science. Thank you!
Your interview with Rupert Sheldrake was mutually illuminating. You should try getting an interview with Charles Taylor about his recent books on poetry and imagination. You two would have much to say to each other.
Taylor's Sources of the Self is an absolute Goldmine btw. The fist seminar I ever attended was on that book.
I really appreciate that you get this and can explain it in such a way. It means a lot to me
I'll be honest--I haven't watched much of your content but the one that made me pay attention was about the coming epochal shift. The late 18th century was insane and if there are parallels to it we are all in for some wild times.
What seems to be going on here is that we are just now entering a major transformation period which occurs about once every 250 years - at least since the 11th century. These periods correlate with the Pluto/Aquarius cycle. It seems to taper off as we go further back, into history which I take to imply that these cycles are intensifying as we move from the Piscean epoch to the Aquarian epoch.
What this implies then, is that the transformations happening right now are going to be of the same order of magnitude as the discovery of electrical technologies, the printing press, the birth of capitalist economic theory, the 30 years war, etc etc
Which is quite ominous, to say the least.
psycho active archetypes changed my life and seeing how much research and impeccability you put in these discouraged me at first, since I'm just starting to share what I have learned through archetypes, allegory, sound, and movement....but I know I'll find my own ways of articulating that will hopefully resonate and impact people like you have for me!
Thank you so much for what you do. Your work is received as a beautiful, loving gift to the world (even if it was perhaps not necessarily intended to be as such, still). Thank you for you.
your works are infectiously profound brother!
I`ve always wondered how the singularity folds upon itself to become numenos, and if it's the scope of human evolutionary necessities that to even frame an answer to that question make us perceive the interpay bewtween expansion/contraction in a dual form of a labile equilibrium. Every "video" is pure distilled gold of ever growing increasing quality. thanks
Could this be your best video dude? I mean damn. I get that same feeling every time
It's funny because I've been depressed as hell lately and basically had to force myself to even make this one in a mentally chaotic daze. And then I finished it and sat back and watched the video like... dude what the actual fuck, this is actually a banger lol
This is absolutely fantastic. Many aspects of these ideas seem to be aligned wonderfully with the more modern works of John Vervaeke et. al. and I’m truly overjoyed to see this wisdom perpetuated more and more.
If you ever worry about the readiness of grasp of the difficult concepts you convey, remember that you are uniquely able to reach certain ones of us who find ourselves otherwise alone on a high and desolate peak.
I feel bad for the guitar - being punished on camera, taking a time out in the corner after offering so much musical insight for the video
Lying in bed with a fever rn, time to binge Formscapes!
Great job! Absolutely beautiful expressions. I was very impressed. My mind could only hold the notions for a moment until the ego took over once again but I understood it deeply.
Another amazing video, brother .🙌
Very grateful that you started your channel friend.
For years i have been studying the lectures of alan watts, sacred geometry, philosophy and the hermetic teachings (specifically "hermes vol. 3" on TH-cam.
Your lectures do a fantastic job on helping me understand all i mentioned above, much better. Live long and prosper
This is huge - thank you.💐
As someone who grew up a materialist/objectivist and found their own way to somewhere far closer to the phenomenal, I just wanted to say the segment on music and light, then weight, finally helped me see that subjective experience varies only due to our different configuration, which unlocks the ability to understand that phenomena do have definite arrangements. A huge breakthrough. Not sure about the other stuff... something that can explain why certain elements and shapes, objects and attributes, are related, rather than just calling upon history, would be valuable.
I always thought of plato’s cave to mean escaping the illusory and reaching reality, not the transcendental. I’d argue both are the same because how can something be above reality but not reflected in it?
You unknowingly also made an Elden Ring lore video, it’s amazing how much overlap there is in the ideas discussed
I keep saying I'm gonna do an Elden Ring analysis video but good fucking god there is so much to sort through in order to really do that properly. I've also never played the game and so my knowledge of the lore is strictly from secondary sources so that probably doesn't help.
Another amazing banger, i always love and appreciate the polymathic approach you bring of merging concepts from different fields of observation and study to paint a larger picture of our experiential universe. Looking forward to the future videos with the direction youre taking, so synchronous with my own personal path of interest and exploration. And how "coincidental" is it that your name Kehlan is pronounced the same as my name Keillan and ive never met another person with the same name as mine (not one with the same pronunciation and definitely not one with the same spelling)

Could be because it’s actually nature that is thinking the thought, resonating through many minds like how many neurons fire together in one brain 🤷♂️
@ 51:36. okay i read a few books about this and your ability to synthesize everything made me understand everything so much better! appreciate you for this.
it would be cool to find a way to plug in someone’s birth chart and dominant planets to hear their soul’s cosmic sound.
(edited you’re for your)
I was also thinking about that. I'm gonna be doing a whole video on the music theory aspects of this, and I noticed a few things after publishing this video which are really interesting, particularly relating to the difference between major and minor intervals and how that relates to trine/sextile and square/opposition relationships in astrology.
I would need to collaborate with someone who actually knows enough about programming (and astrology) to make something that could function properly, but that would be unbelievably cool.
@@Formscapes can’t wait, music theory is my achilles heel.. you’re the first one to break it down in a way i could grasp.

Your video crystalizes and communicates much of the things I experience directly. I have known all of this to be true by a sort of second nature as I have always from the beginning felt deeply my connection with the world. I feel the universe as my own body and I am able to extract information about it with great accuracy much like how you would perceive and interpret information through the medium of your senses.
I find available to my consciousness an infinite range of potential sensory mediums which dynamically make themselves available and orient themselves to bring forward the knowing of what I have come to know as an expression of my own being. This being is of course Identical with your being and all being.
Consciousness is not bound, but served by the material constitutes and structures we have created for ourselves to experience ourself through; meaning this body, its genetic history and that which has taken shape through it. This particular lens was shaped for the express purpose to know the self from a new perspective and for the self to know you. A form a fragrance never before seen.
I notice a desire to see things as real only if they can be held by the intellect as an identifiable and quantifiable object. As though ontology must cater to the limitations of the intellectual aspect.
There seems to be this cultural conditioning brought about by the presence of reductionism which seems to only find reality in complexity. As though the egoic desire to rise above others in intellectual prowess has distorted authentic seeking for truth into defining truth as only that which bolsters that sense of intellectual superiority. I don't see this as a conscious process either, yet I also see a lack of self reflection on the part of those which claim to know. For if they were to deeply examine those structures of mind they have constructed and identified with, they would come to destabilize their very sense of self and be thrust again into the void. Through that void and the humility of mind to prostrate itself to its formative origin does reality reveal itself. You and only hear and eye if your eyes and ears are open, you can only know if your mind is quiet. The ego is crucified and out of its surrender blooms pure expression and knowing of the animating spirit, your eternal being.
You cannot perceive reality because you cannot stand apart from it, you cannot grasp truth because you are not outside of it. The mind uses structures to define and explain the world, yet this examination is of objects of infinite dimension given that the observer itself is infinite in dimension. You are reality, you are truth, and this life and life itself is the exploration and expansion of ourself. We are Creators, We are the Creator prior to any form we create and experience. As we expand in our knowing and our being, so to does the mystery, and as the mystery expands, so to do we.
So that's why one of the outer gods is called The Formless Mother in Elden Ring. I thought it was just a HP Lovecraft incomprehensible to describe kind of thing originally.
The formless mother in Elden Ring could be either the abyss itself or Neptune. Given that Mohg has a trident, I could see it either way.
This video proves you to be a true modern rosicrusian in the most honerable since posible, your work is beyond amazing, it's abuility to obliterate scientific steriotypes withought the slightest sacrifice in critical thinking and logical reasoning is astounding. Thank you good sir, for existing
I'm sure you probably know this but careful uploading in the middle of the night. It's a death sentence in the algorithm. Those initial views/hour are crucial for recommendations.
That said, excited as always!
Once you have enough subs it doesn't matter anymore. The people who are gonna click on the day of the upload are gonna click one way or another. Uploading at prime time can give a decent looking boost at first but it levels out
@@Formscapes I didn't know it died off over the life of the channel, good to know!
It's after about 2 days where things really matter, because that's what determines whether the algorithm starts recommending the video to new people or if it just gets buried under newer uploads.

Coming back to this.. I need to rewatch the music video lol. So. Math maps on really well to the unfolding you present here. It's not surprising per se but it is very cool to see.

This was implied, but for anyone who may not have caught it, he described F Lydian (to be specific) when beginning his explanation of musical scales. The scales C major (or C Ionian), D Dorian, E Phrygian, F Lydian, G Mixolydian, A Aeolian (or A minor), and B Locrian actually all have the same exact notes: C D E F G A B. The only difference between these 7 modes (the technical term) of the C major scale is what note is being tonicized, or what note the musicians are centering around relationally. Modes are all about emphasis and creating the feeling as though a particular note is supposed to be "home base", which relates very well back to the overall idea that values and subjectivity are what's important in shaping experiential reality.
I’ve been loving your videos formscapes. such unique and unusual ideas. I dont mean to sound like one of those “crackpots” but do you have any ideas which give value to the concept of ‘jumping timelines’ or reality transurfing or reality shifting ?
I honestly don't think those ideas are much more than escapist fantasies. There is no need to escape to other worlds. This world is the place where the story is being told that we are meant to play a role within.
Though with that said, we certainly do have the power to "shift" reality in the sense that we can completely transform our lives through little more than intention and inner clarity, but that's not the same as escaping into an alternative "timeline".
BEAUTIFUL!!!
Thank you!!
@@Formscapes Sir, why not check out After Socrates By John Vervarke - for the dialogic process you describe at the end in Goethe's cave
Love your channel. Thanks so much ❤❤
Root words for Will is "to wish, to desire; to" choose;" to "hope;" "to command; to favor," Hmmm.
So Free Will would be Free of wishing. Free of desire. Free of choosing. Free of hoping. Free of commanding. Free of favoring. How very interesting.
Interestingly, Existence in Latin is exsistere which is to ‘come into being’, its root words are ex- ‘come out’ + sistere ‘take a stand’.. So what are we standing out from when we are Living in Existence?
This channel, which I used to love when it was less abstract and esoteric, has gone the way of gnosticism, preaching salvation through Intricate knowledge of hidden things. The creator of this channel is such an intelligent and intellectually courageous young man, no doubt with much to say to us when he gets back on an existential track. What I mean is best conveyed in Kierkegaard's comment about Hegel, to the effect that he built a palace in his mind but lived, like all of us, in the hovel next door.
The ultimate point I'm making is the exact opposite. To quote Wittgenstein, who was also influenced heavily by Goethe; Nothing is hidden.
The power which we must cultivate is the recognition of that which is already in front of us.
@@Formscapes I disagree with that commenter's critique but I think it's an interesting one because this is a description of the way that this kind of thinking *can* up if it's not self-disciplined. It's the classic negative power of Chokmah on the ToL--becoming too baroque, too intricate, until the mind is like a massive but disorganized library full of cobwebs.
I like your channel because you're remarkably good at maintaining precision even as you delve into these depths, but all of us who are interested in these topics benefit from keeping the negative side of Chokmah in mind.
I think he is building to something. Strap in. Enjoy the ride. I share your distrust of gnostics and their NPC golems.

I have Pluto in the first house and absolutely feel like the world is alien. I have no friends and I'm mostly ok with that. People are complicated and generally not worth my time. I do not understand anyone, it's a 2-way street. Problem child/Black sheep/freak for life! ✌️❤️
thank-you, truly.
I personally believe this is all perceptual. If you need to integrate geometry into it, it works, but cannot be unified without the entire system collapsing on itself. Geometric Sacredness has to do with spiritual healing for allowing the soul to strengthen, at which point we shed an old crystalline layer by breaking through with a new one, it is transformation through death. Your description of will to life resonates with this, however there is just "being" and to appreciate being. That seems to more well describe will to life.
❤ this channel!!!😊
About Kant: Gary Geck taught me that Godel thought no one really understood Kant.
Godel took a few statements from Kant that were provably false, gave them a slight revision, and all of a sudden, you get the same insight that Godel's own incompleteness theorem gives you, but in fewer words.
So Godel was sure there was a whole treasure trove in Kant waiting to be discovered.
But he didn't have the time or the resources.

Instasubbed to your channel since the last video I saw. Glad you're going into Goethe and Steiner. I'm reading Man or Matter by Ernst Lehrs. I tried several times to get into Steiner (lazily) but always drew a line, because stuff was getting really weird.
Goethe's method however I had no problem with. Would be nice if you could share literature you consulted reading up on your vids.
I would recommend you look at student of Gurdieff's J. G. Bennet. I was refered to him by Zajonc's book on Goethe's Science. His book Elementary Systematics might be of interests as well as his The Dramatic Universe 4-volume series (wanna delve to that one).
Synchronous that you mention Gurdjieff. I'm gonna be doing a video on the Enneagram next actually
Gem after gem. It's an honor, man. Thank you
All is value
I very much enjoyed your program. It provided insight into things that go on in my mind when I smoke small amounts of marijuana. I've been calling it "trying to Reel in a Powerful Spirit I encounter when I smoke small amounts of marijuana". I've been doing it daily Consistently since May 2013 and My Mind needs to be Examined 🧐. I would like to say you are on the Right Track - Let's hear what You think 🤔 21:53 Tuesday August 20, 2024V😇

Most amazing
Have you heard Robert Edward Grants music rediscoveries tied to the Great Pyramids? Nek Level!!
Are you interested in learning about individuation/positive disintegration? And conceptual abstraction to sensing.
Bruh... This the realist shit I heard in a minute, thank you. You did a fucking quantum fucking job dawgy
Holy shit that was a ride
11 minutes in and enough for today 🙏, but, will go a little further, heheheh.
Two ways to improve your vocabulary: 1) Listen to Elvis Costello and 2) Watch Formscapes.
@Formscapes I'm curious if certain color palettes that define certain generations is another planetary signifier or manifestation of that energy within the phenomenology of color ie. olive greens and dark browns in the 80's, preceded by lots of Groovy and swirly orange in the 70's. Does this question make sense? I'm new to a lot of this terminology 😅
Ps this is your best work yet and I'm on my 4th listen. This feels like very important information
🤓👍
Here, precision is poetry
Teacher I have studied your work and now I understand, you are not the first to come upon these truths. It is said when time came to create the world the Elohim took there knives and made "holes" in space. Thus all forms are holes in space. Form is Atom, which inturn is Body which qualitativly is solidity. Space is actually Density, which inturn is unconditional. Therefore density is greater than solidity. The unconditional give birth to condition, and thus is more real, more substantial, than Atom the condition. All atoms come from space and will eventually dissolve back into it. Therefore every "form" thus ever planet, star, galaxy, creature or object and system that appears, is a solidity emanating from density. Pythagoras stated that the world was form by the divin power retiring from the center of itself to the circumference and leaving a vaccum. Thank you for your work, Teacher.
Atoms are not tiny balls in space but holes in space!!! Also, for all other readers, the statement above is my understanding and is specifically targeted to the Teacher's work on Matter and by no means even close to a total compressive understanding is his teachings, which encompasses, many more subjects that just simply Matter.

This is a little off-topic, but I would love to get your opinion on a book I stumbled across called "Cyclonopedia" by Reza Negarestani. Sentient oil. Im not sure if you heard of it but i thought you might find it interesting.
It reminds me of a thing I came up with for a TTRPG setting (one that I've been working on for literally like 6 years now) where the "underdark" caverns were literally veins that darkness flowed through like blood, and the darkness could densify to become "ember-ink" (kinda like oil) or crystalize to form "Voidstone", both of which are used for technological purposes, but also serve as conduits for spiritual entities. There were also three distinct forms of darkness; Shroud (regular darkness), Void (predatory darkness which literally sucks the life out of biological organisms in order to feed) and Gloam (which biological organisms, like subterranean flora, can feed off of, and which can energize animals or humans, but which can result in mutations and psychosis through prolonged exposure).
Dude wtf I just started this book today, didn’t expect to see a shoutout here. But then again only a few pages in and the synchronicities are already flowing so I shouldn’t be surprised at all.
But he just introduced the term “Hyperstition” which is boiling my brain soup.
@@FormscapesI would play this TTRPG!
@isawamoose Its very intellectually dense. You have to have a broad understanding of alot of different fields to be able to read it fluently. I have to keep googling the meaning of certain words because it's just so dense. The name is fitting that's for sure
As ice cube once said: Today was a good day.
Lol I'm a dummy but this is all very intriguing and seems way more intuitive. But I'm curious why the popular physicists aren't talking about this stuff?
Because academic physics turned into a circle jerk of mathematical toy-tinkering and public relations campaigns in the mid twentieth century and has become increasingly disassociated from the natural world ever since. This is something I discuss at length in a number of videos if you're new here.
@@Formscapes yes I'm new here and plan on watching it all.. But that makes sense.. Some of them have been bringing up exactly what you mentioned, so maybe soon the ludites of the physics world will come along... The hard part will be the universities that practice nepotism and such.. Love the vids my guy! Keep it up! What you're doing is important.. But I'm sure you don't need me telling you that.. 🤣
Would you ever consider going on the Telosbound podcast?
Sure. I wasn't aware that he had a podcast but yeah, that would be rad lol
@@Formscapes You should totally reach out to them! I'm sure a lot of people who watch that channel would love your stuff, first of all, and from what I can tell there's also a lot of overlap between their communal ontology and what you've been putting forward.
... heyyy wait a minute... This video is just words!
I love this 😍
another banger
This sounds a lot like Dion Fortune's Cosmic Doctrine.
Hello short question here, it is subjective, each experience of the human being but wouldn't that imply that one that has grown better is capable of understanding more thus being closer to the wholeistic truth? Which would be the subjective truth of the universe
And those Geniuses didn't have 50 years of Music and TV under their belt - What are You thinking? 🤔
is the document from which you are reading available for the rest of us to study furhter?
I don't have it uploaded anywhere yet but if you send me an email I can send you the script. formscapesyt@gmail
