So, just goes to show - the way against evil is not the conventional path - and could be the forest holds the clue to that. I hope so. If you want some forest time then go to the woods is what I would suggest.
In a very nuanced way Junger describes our situation presently as said by the speaker at 50 minutes in and hard not to agree.
Begs the question - what is to be done about it? Technocratic ideals are not very fulfilling - they don't make one feel alive. But power of the forest walker is power undeniable - I know this already - I know it.
In our present age, each day can bring new ideas.....exercising resistance to this is legal.....but individual insistence is incumbent and effective forms exist to this end and we must be ready to use them and a tiny minority can bring down a colossal authority......if said authority is based upon nothing but an obvious lie and contradiction.
So there is not bastion to be unafraid as they want to suggest, but I suggest that in the forest, there is nothing to be fearful of.....the immortal spirit of man will be invigorated when a spirit refuses to be institutionalized by others who know no better, but themselves are fear-based in how they interact and treat others.
OK - this is too much to take in on the fly, but 1 hour into it, one can't help but wonder if institutions are not being attacked by forces who want to ground to rumble culture of others....if they have this ambition, then seems as if the moment of truth is upon us. We either will refute their efforts or we will succumb to them and if we do succumb to them, then they will succeed in their efforts to destroy all humanity once and for all - so seems evident, we ought rebuff, refuse, refute, and deny those who feel they can control and dominate us. In the world of ideas, it is imperative, to never give in to the ideas of harm.
Semantics are not trivial.
Language makes things comprehensible.
1 hour 10 minutes into this and I think I ought just click the button - "Add Comment"...so I will.
I'm so glad in 11th grade I took a class in typing - the teacher was the coach of the Cheerleaders and she suffered no fools - she liked me if I must say, because I can type fast!
At the end, you speak of language, the naming of things brings light to our understanding, and this is why the poet is a key to reinvigorating the human spirit.
Think about one word, "chair". Think about all of the "connections" that one word has. Purpose. Design. Structure. Construction. Materials. History. Energy. Family dinner. Community meeting. Trees, and their use, if the chair is wood. Role it played in society, like the Ming horsehoe-backed folding chair for travel. [Link] This is made from huang-huali wood.
Think about "man" being spoken by God. Think about all of the "connections". Molecules, cells, organs, systems, sight, sound, touch, soul, body, thought, emotion, building, painting, writing, sculpting, government, role in society.
Since the traveller does not bring a handful of earth from mountain-slope to valley, unsayable to others, but only a word that was won, pure, a yellow and blue gentian.
Are we here, perhaps, for saying: house, bridge, fountain, gate, jug, fruit-tree, window – at most: column, tower......but for saying, realise, oh, for a saying such as the things themselves would never have profoundly said.
In Gurdjieff’s Fourth Way system, man is a 3 brained being: moving/instinctive, emotional and intellectual. The Ouspensky lineage separated moving and instinctive with the observation that movement is learned. These represent domains of information. Your emotions and intellect do not need to remember the path to the bathroom, the way to drive to work or how to ride a bike if you have learned. Your moving brain has the map information of these connections to movement in space.
In the Ouspensky lineage each brain can be divided into actions requiring no or automatic attention, attracted or drawn attention, and directed or controlled attention. Each of these can be further divided. This leads to the observation that the common deck of playing cards that we have all used is esoteric information. Clubs are the instinctive, spades are the moving, hearts are the emotion, and diamonds are the intellect. The 2 jokers represent the higher emotional and intellectual centers in Gurdjieff’s system, connected to awakening or higher consciousness.
We use the word “I” to mean many different things with different values. How many times does a child say “I hate you” or “I love ice cream”? The controlled attention parts of these brains all are similar in that they have “perspective”, there are “angles” of thought as there is three dimensional space. Thus the directed attention part of the emotional brain can see emotional perspectives. What is truth in this context?
Conscience is emotional truth for oneself. If your emotional identity says “I never gossip”, your higher emotional center can wake you up when you are gossiping. Conscience is a unification of your emotional being.
What interests me is Shame is the lowest state, from which it is easy to commit suicide. It is only in the last decade or so that it is being studied in psychology. Each of these negative emotions below 200 keep an individual from advancing higher. What is courage then? It not only the courage to face external danger and difficulty, it is the courage to see oneself. When you see yourself truthfully but compassionately, you move to acceptance.
The hierarchy of consciousness is important because Hawkins said the bell curve of humanity has risen above 200 in 2007, if I remember right.

and due to - the lack of general sovereigns - the cabal are made strong by acceptance of their offerings, habituated needs that require transformation to satisfy the mass appetite , and with that level of power, comes the ability to frame the future around their desired image...the people will build it, just as long as they believe themselves to be living life to their own triumphant desires.

" What We Do - by Devo " - interesting.
Thanks for that, but I don't consider that a more detailed synopsis - it seems like a distraction.
Can you elaborate rather than just insinuate?
it's self- evident, i.e.....no explanation required.
I mean if you expect me to do all the work to comprehend some sort of wisdom or message you are trying to send, don't you think that is sort of pompous? Plus, if you can't even succinctly explain it yourself, makes one wonder whether you even know.
I'm not trying to be difficult, but just like yours, my time is precious. Oh my precious as gollum said holding the ring....
Lastly, self-evident, just like self-fulfilling is in the mind of the self thinking it, and frankly, some ideas are in need of elimination. Self-fulfilling ideas are near the top of the list in my mind....but what do I know - I'm just a peasant.
In my peasant mind, I'm tired of the Calvinist, I'm tired of the Zionist, and I'm tired of 20th century bullies.

So that is a path of links about gollum and the ring in the Lord of the Rings, then something about Heinlein - a fine science fiction writer in the mind of a young man, and lastly a link to Schumacher who thought "Small is Beautiful" - that is what I think as well.
So, just to be an open book - this is a way to share information in the modern age that is harmless.
There is beauty in that. What there is NOT beauty in is what we sense day after day....so one, another, others, all of us - can't help but wonder: Why? Then after you give it consideration, hard not to conclude there are harmful forces out there - nobody said anything would be easy, but still a fair question is why be harmful intentionally?

From: The Master Theorem - A Book of Puzzles .....(and whatnot). Now, from the "Forest Passage", page 67 in my edition: What you make of that Shangri ? And realize, if you answer this, you set yourself up for a 4-1-4....just saying.

Thanks!

He basically says everyone with power is part of the system of control, which many SOTT readers and editors agree with. In this video he lays out the "Swarm" which controls the information of the 8 billion. What is the desired result of the "swarm": obesity, stupidity, happy(dopamine levels), divided, isolated, disconnected, helpless, looking for a SAVIOR on the materialist level, disorganized, mesmerized with the UFOs.
Whether you agree with him or not he brings Systems thinking to analyzing reality. [Link]
