Project Charter; Evolutionary Neoplatonism

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 มี.ค. 2023
- In this video, I sketch out an overview of the project which this channel is intended to engage in. In doing so, I examine the nature of western philosophy, and its relationship with the fundamental conceptions of Time and Being.
As we survey the history of western thought, I outline what I see as the three fundamental transformations which have profoundly reshaped western thinking since the era of ancient Greece.

I’m going back and watching your old videos to build a better foundation for your newer videos.

Wow, just wow. You put into words the whole of what I’ve gathered about philosophy/religion/science and gave even more examples. Amazing work!
Just watched your most recent video on Saturn/Goya and shit dude, I hope this channel gains subs and views fast. You're weaving all the thoughts I've had in my head the last 20 years, and articulating it in a concise and devastating manner. We've gone deeply adrift from core truth, and we're dangerously close to wrecking this ship on the rocks of history, if it's not already too late. It's reassuring to hear younger people picking up the same lessons we were learning in the early 2000's, which got quickly subsumed by chic materialistic fad culture (yoga, meditation and so on). A lot of of the hippy left cracked some doors open from the east, but were also lost in the tidal pull of blind progressivism. Your channel feels like a maturity is finally settling in as east and western mentalities merge, and you have the mystical awareness that comes with eastern thought, merged with the cold deliberate logic of the western mind.
Ultimately, I think that's the Aesop of this whole historical narrative. The journey of the west has been the journey of the sun; individual freedom and personhood, while the journey of the east has been that of the moon; relationality, collectivity, ancestry. Willing vs Feeling. We are rapidly approaching the point where those two trajectories are coming to face their own inner contradictions, and thus a synthesis of the two will become increasingly necessary and urgent.
glad you like the channel. I'm gonna keep this up for as long as I can manage to.
Brilliant! Thank you!
An actual gem of a channel you got here my friend, please keep the videos coming and thank you
Thank you!
Decided to come to the beginning of the channel and it did not disappoint. This is gold right here! I’ll watch every single one taking notes ✍️
What a gold, thought-provoking channel. Love from Poland man.
Glad to have you aboard, fam
Great content, Super! Just a small critic, if you can Tone the background music down to a lower beat and slower rithem, then my focus should be more directed to the content.
Apreciated your Last comment 😊
We are here. We are being. We are becoming. You are not alone.
I understand the half of this due to linguistic barriera, since I'm italian. But I'm impressed, I'm gonna watch this again, and all the other video in this amazing intellectual fantastic channel.
thank you
:) starting from the beginning. I’m really enjoying the great work here 🙏 thank you!
Very nicely done. Clear, enjoyable, nice graphics and I like your music too. :)
An Integral vision. Can’t wait to deepen the lens moving forward through the series. Time + Energy = Art.
If you're starting from literally the first episode when I had absolutely no idea what I was doing then you are definitely in for a ride lol.
this is an absolute one of a kind channel, really beautiful work. Thank you!
Love it!
Thank you for your brilliants in the face of modern materialistic dogma, your a hell of a philosopher!
So where is the music by itself? Its a great piece, i would want to loop it while studying
Good stuff! Here from seeing your most recent material. Love this and intend to watch the rest.
Awesome. Be sure to watch the reupload of the first Morphic Resonance video that's in the playlist when you get to that. The original has volume issues but I didn't want to take it down bc it was bringing in most of my traffic for a while.
Such a quality presentation. Deep ideas and a cool aesthetic. I'm interested in Time. Looking forward to watching your videos.
Thank you so much! My next video on Sheldrake will be up by tomorrow. I'm gonna probably do one more about him and then finish up the last two videos about Jean Gebser, so those will be coming out fairly soon as well.
Wonderful, i will keep watching! :)
marvellous video
Great channel ❤
Thank you!
I would really love a separate video from you on Darwinian evolution.
As a geology student i have to say that (knowing a bit of paleontology) though Darwin was correct that there is evolution, life´s biggest families appeared during the cambrian explosion mainly, but then the families stagnated until nowadays, and evolution only occured with the species-geni inside each family. Thats to say that evolution is applicable to species etc, but not for broaders groups of life, for those the only evolution that ever occured was the cambrian explosion, and afterwards theres a stagnation during 500 Ma.
Superb content but I find the background level is too high relative to the voice. And the pounding drum is merely annoying.
Great video dude!
Thanks Amigo!
Many thanks for making these great videos. Looking forward to the new ones ❤
I couldn’t complete understand what this video was saying, many of the terms or words go over my head. Where could i start to be able to comprehend any of this?
Time, patience and maybe the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy website if you want extremely thorough essays about specific topics.
cheers for not finishing an academic degree aswell. Now we can finally explore things. And make some music as a sidequest
That is exactly the plan. If I can ever make this into a full time gig then I'm gonna actually start making music again. Here's hoping anyway
Great video and I have subscribed!
Where would you recommend a noob like myself start reading and learning about this huge, interesting and fractured but all encompassing topic?
try "Exit the Cave: Ending the Reincarnation" by
Mickoski, Howdie sum chapters on internet read by Howdie . . also "a book to free the soul" by Yves Cadoux . . happy mewing
The smallest atomic unit of experience is an impression. An Impression is a bundle of qualities received through the 5 senses, which the brain then organizes into something recognizable we call a perception.
Perception is the brain's identification system, answering the questions of what, who, how, why, where, when, etc.
The brain derives meaning from the 'drivers'; those qualities that change our inner state of Being as they change.
Someone with a visual driver of distance will feel more or less positive, negative or neutral toward an image as it moves farther away, becoming smaller and dimmer, and feel the opposite as the image moves closer, becoming bigger and brighter. Any quality 'can' be a driver. Most people function with 2 or 3 drivers, one from the 3 primary sensory modalities.
Drivers: visual, auditory, kinesthetic
Perspective provides the context of meaning, which is generated from 4 paired primary values or metaprograms:
Inner/Outer
More/Less/
Better/Worse
Yes/No
Every perception is to some extent memory. Every memory is to some extent imagination. Narratives are the outcome. To change the outcome, change the narrative. To change the narrative, change perspective.
Every choice we make generates a corresponding timeline of experience. Is the resulting narrative a limit or a creative guideline? No wrong answer - only another choice.
Dream it, feel it, do it.
I love the way you interact and respond here in the comments. are you the photographer with formscapes website?
Nope. I had no idea there was such a website lol. When I initially came up with the name for this channel, the google search only yielded a completely unknown VR startup project which noone had talked about for many years so I'm not aware of anyone else using that title.
@@Formscapes i believe there is a quote from whitehead on the page.
I prefered listening without added unnecessary backing music.
Cool. Go watch something else then
Plato’s esoteric doctrine is most likely inverted to the forms and what he illustrated through his dialogues.
He made a straw man of Heraclitus, Parmenides and Socrates but his true view was most likely more close to Heraclitus.
Tbh I love both Nietzsche and Plato; they both spoke some ill ass truth for their times.
Nietzsche turned my whole life inside out when I was about 21. I need to tell that story sometime. It's a doozy lol
@@Formscapes I only really started to understand his views for myself once I encountered a certain book written in a Russian accent.
@@FormscapesI think what you described is the nearly universal experience of Nietzsche. 😅
yay🌝
I humbly suggest adding the largely unrecognised names Arnold Lunn, Samuel Butler and Ewald Hering to your list of people who made contributions relevant to your content.
Inexhaustible mind of suggestion. Question; are these deep philosophical words or something else?
Inexhaustible "mine" of suggestion. Like for mining minerals. It's a metaphor. We philosophers tend to resort to using those when we run out of technical Jargon or smoke too much Sativa.
@@Formscapes thanks for responding I am one of a billion arm chair philosophers and I have my much respect for those of you who take the time to "break it down" for us, Charles.
@@charlessykes7161 Much appreciated and thanks for taking the time to watch.
@@Formscapes the latter especially
I rly want to translate your videos to portuguese, can i?
Sure just email me
@@Formscapes Thx!
I think evolution “works” because function is platonic. It has to be.
A relevant concept here is that of "attractors" in dynamic systems theory; a complex self-organizing system will often gravitate towards a specific stable configuration within a certain "phase space" of possibilities. The "attractor" thus functions as a sort of platonic form, or what Goethe would call an "Urphanomen". So this could contribute to explaining the phenomenon of convergent evolution as well - like how eyes have evolved numerous times among distinct phyla independently of one another.
The music is distracting
then go watch something else
@@FormscapesNo, I think it's worth watching anyway
Creative time is powerful and yet should creative thoughts be limited by "time" a simple construction of our mind that is more illusion than real..
The significance of time is something which I address more thoroughly in my video on integral consciousness; The Einsteinian cosmological model (being fundamentally Kantian) depicts time as merely illusory (only ontological insofar as it is understood in relation to a particular perspectival frame of reference). This Einsteinian space-time is a degenerated view of time in which Time is denatured and reduced to space.
A genuine understanding of time must be much more substantial, and such an understanding of time is a crucial condition for the possibility of an awareness of spirit as such (as an etiological fundamental).
@@Formscapes I know that integral consciousness is where you do time justice.. but I want the background from your videos like this before I just jump into that.. I spent a good portion of last night watching the egg anime video BTW seems that TH-cam keeps deleting that video and your link to it needs to be updated.. the 🥚 egg anime is intense I am still letting it sink in.. I hope to have watched your 30 videos in about a month.. they all get researched with the various topics that are covered.. this channel of yours is amazing 🤩
is there a way to listen without the music. it completely drowns out your voice
Just watch the newer vids. The volume wasn't adjusted properly in the old videos and there's nothing in this one that I don't elaborate in more detail later on
