The Philosophers

Thanks Fixed for taking the time to respond.

I will watch the vids.

You’re very welcome, Shieldmaiden. I hope that the visual association sequences have the power to captivate your deep-mind and reveal some of the true associative quality of the tree - and thus of God.

Having listened to the Rabbi Wolf’s comments and watching your vids another element of the religious question began to form in my head. There are real psychological differences between Christianity and Judaism.

Jung said the difference between Freud’s approach and his own had much to do with Freud’s Jewish background and his own Christian up bring. There is truth in this.

Jung writes

"I suggested years ago that every psychological theory should be criticised in the first instance as a subjective confession…this subjective premise is identical with our psychic idiosyncrasy. Idiosyncrasy is conditioned (1) by the individual, and (2) by the family, (3) by the nation, race, climate, locality and history…I am proud of my subjective premises, I love the Swiss earth in them, I am grateful to my theological forebears for having passed on to me the Christian premise…

and Freud’s Jewish psychology is similarly conditioned by the history of the Jewish people

"May it not be asked wherein lie the peculiar differences between an essentially Jewish and essentially Christian outlook…? Are we really to believe that a tribe which has wandered through history for several thousand years as “God’s chosen people” was not put up to such an idea by some quite special psychological peculiarity? If no differences exist, how do we recognise Jews at all?

This deserves more research.

More relevant is that Freud was atheist, Jung theist.
One could not approach the tree through Freud (all viewers will instantly see this) but one could easily approach my views with a basis of Jung.

There isnt really a question that Jung used the Tree to develop his methods. It was as prevalent in occultist circles as it is now, and its carriers were all not Jewish. (Crowley, mcMathers, etc).

Christianity is a combination of Judaism and Apollonism. So is Gnostocism and Hermeticism.

Here I am talking to a guy in Lincoln Heights

Jakob, you have posted this before.

I don’t know what others feel and think of this vid, but I found it really bleak. The neighbourhood (Lincoln Heights? is this well known) is depressing, row after row of the same houses, the skimpy palm trees that line the streets struggling to flourish, the back concrete alleys are devastating to the gardens of a mind. It is not so much the deprivation that is obvious here, but the very starkness of it, reminds me of this scene.

The people, well… whatever I say it will be classified as ‘judgemental’ LOL.

Nevertheless I look forward to your vids and you always have the right choice of music to enhance what’s happening.

It made me realise how important it is (for me at least) to live in an environment that I can relate to and appreciate and I suppose how fortunate I am.

Hey SM thanks for the comment. Yeah Id say depressing is a euphemism. I was there looking for the areas they shot Terminator 2 in. It is a completely gang-owned area with only blind walls and cul de sacs… but that didn’t stop me from wanting to check it out. It all looked too photogenic and real to me, and then I saw this dude. Mexicans in pickups were patrolling their turf but I sensed I probably wasn’t going to get in trouble if I made it relatively quick.

So this is pretty much, almost, downtown LA. It is a weird city.

Music - drums by John Engels, my neighbour where I grew up. He is a world renowned genius, played with Dizzy Gillespie and all those guys.
Otherwise I think this is kind of nice stylistically.

Some naughty gay person commented on this, I deleted the comment, but was happy to be reminded of the existence of this beat. It gets funky.

Value Ontology is not merely philosophy, it is nature’s wisdom itself.
So you can see how I live so boundlessly. It is the fate of all my kind.
We did not come into this world to be enchained by other humans.
This world invited us into it for us to conquer it and transform it.
