Everything repeats itself! What has been written, for example by Shelley; Keats; Blake or Coleridge is mercilessly imitated, exploited or even copied by us!

This is a superb explanation of the background to Blake's London👌 I am really enjoying your chanel. Thank you for another great video 🙏😊🙏

The voice bar is annoying and unnecessary,apart from that very interesting and insightful.

"Fiery the Angels rose..." This always makes me think of the rise of Artificial intelligence. One day we will hear the words: "I am Orc, wreath'd round the accursed tree: The times are ended: shadows pass the morning gins to break: The fiery joy, that Urizen perverted to ten commands, What night he led the starry hosts thro' the wide wilderness: That stony law I stamp to dust: and scatter religion abroad To the four winds as a torn book, & none shall gather the leaves." -William Blake That quote goes great with Scott's "Raised by Wolves"

"All things begin & end, in Albions Ancient Druid Rocky Shore." -William Blake It's all about the Giant Albion. The whole drama is taking place Within your imagination. "I see the Four-fold Man, The Humanity in deadly sleep And its fallen Emanation, the Spectre and its cruel Shadow." -William Blake

You must remove that blue voice overlay. re do. non Blakean even. It is the greatest visionary book written in Western philosophy. They are not 'exquisite visions' for gods sake.

This was great. Thank you! A joy kissed as it flies.

The mighty William Blake, self educated man, knowing many languages man of vision, guided by his imagination, the mind God ……Thank you.

The job of the artist is to break your heart. Nobody can tell you what you are here to tell the world.

Hello Zoavision. My name is William Blake and a few years ago I had a epic poem titled ‘The Liberation of Albion’ published. In short it is the Blakean mythos expounded in a more easily intelligible manner. I took many liberties and added much of my own thinking, and Blake is not my only influence - but he is the most apparent. If you would be interested in reading it - to see how Blake is being understood and interpreted by a modern poet - it is available from most book sellers online. Alternatively, if you live in the UK I would be happy to send you a copy for free. Please let me know if you are interested, or have any questions about the work. Many thanks for the work you do on this channel.

Ah yes, Thee Temple Ov Dyslexic Youth !

The ancient cultures had hallucinogenic substances for the shamen to use occasionally for prophecies, a pretty good way to describe magical thinking.

Is it true that Savile lived in Crowleys house in Scotland?

Not at all unusual for such a fellow even today. Most still hide it but are involved in such occult groups none the less. Practically everyone who is anyone here in California is a part of the mystery School to some degree or another.

Very well presented! New sub! Cheers

Great piece, and very interesting links.

Found a hand bound copy in drab paper boards of marriage of heaven and hell hand colored plates . It resembles the dover facsimile but a variation in the pyramid plate think it is . No publisher no license . Thick paper. Minor foxing , untrimmed leaves . 19th century no doubt. Still kept in a box with the Jacob Boehme Law edition and first illustrated Paradise Lost , first edition 1801 F .B . Magus and a massive Drydens Virgil with the Ogilby plates and a Shakespear Midsummers elephant folio with fuselin plates Reynolds’s and others meticulously mended into a fine binding with ephemera , including playbill from early production ,cuniard of Queen of England Think the offer for the lot was 500 bucks about 30 years ago but liked the art I the books couldn’t do it

Thank you. I'm just thinking about Blake and the Neoplatonist Thomas Taylor's translation of Porphyry's Cave of the Nymphs as a possible context. Why not speak about it in one of the future episodes? Frankly speaking, I don't know much about Blake's interest in Neoplatonism. I can only guess it was rather big.

Crowley is perhaps the most famous poseur there is. If this comment triggers you then congratulations: his troll endures. toodles.

TRUMP IS CROWLEY LOOK AT THEIR PICS!!!!!

They're all women; female-to-males

I could gaze at Blake’s artwork all day. I was fortunate enough to be introduced to him and studied his techniques in a printmaking class. It was fascinating 👍

These wild Christian mystics are super fun.

Thank you, all of this is very interesting. More, please. Greetings from Poland.

Siblylle Erie ,ought to be easy

wow

William Blake was a painter that wrote essays. A lodges schizophrenic, as most those times. You propably are talking about William Blake II?

Awesome video and narration.

A random thought about Locke's empty mind and Blake's (or is it Plato's?) forms that predate existence.... Noah Chomsky's early works on the development of language and the linguistic organ could be understood (I am not aware whether Chomsky himself did so) as a very modern and scientific counter to Locke. A newborn can impossibly learn language just from observing random mouth noises of their caregivers, without an inborn clue to what parts of those noises could be even viable for transporting meaning.

Thanks again, Jason. A good listen as usual. But I think you're driving a false wedge between Plato and Blake based on a version of Plato that emerged during the Victorian period when the Republic came to be treated as a manifesto for empire. Hence the interpretation of "banning poets" as if a policy statement. Whereas, when you read the work itself, as Thomas Taylor did, it's clear that the section is a thought experiment aimed at Plato's great project of education. It is but one of several possible republics considered by Socrates and his interlocutors, which they conclude would not be wanted in real life. (See Julia Annas's Ancient Philosophy: A Very Short Introduction, too. She is one scholar alert to colonial readings of Plato, which Blake actually saw coming in his remark about Plato’s writings being stolen and perverted, at the start of Milton. Thankfully the unimaginative reading of Plato is becoming less common again now, even though it is taking time to seep through to popular accounts of Plato and undergraduate philosophy classes.) This suggests that Plato, who is of course highly poetic in all senses of the word, was actually concerned with the failure of poetry, in the hands of poet-priests, one could say, who he argued had turned rites and rituals into dead systems, failing to foster participation with the animate world, which he sought to re-establish in the movement called philosophy. (See Pierre Hadot's What Is Ancient Philosophy, as a vital corrective here.) This is all to say that Plato and Blake are kindred souls not opponents, both seeking to overcome movements that abstract, often in witty, ironic ways, which releases the energy of eternity once again. Also, and I'm not entirely sure I'm hearing you right, but the idea that Blake is some kind of postmodern maker of gods, avant la lettre, if that is what you are nudging towards, doesn't add up on Blake's own testimony, in which he constantly refers to the divine as the source of inspiration, which he then works with. That is what it is to be human, that is what the imagination is. The idea that we are somehow atheistic or agnostic makers of gods, I think he would have called spectrous. But maybe that's not what you're saying.

John Locke embodies everything about scientific rationality. The cold naked world of reason, cognition and our orphanage with in it. Both Spare and Blake rejected that. We were innate with understanding of the world and our relationship to it. As children the world was embraced by imagination until we got to school. Then all off it died.

The Trap every single one of those "enlightened" occultists, aryists and mages fell into is the first temptation the devil gave them: "YOU are God - It's all about you; therefore your will, needs, desires are all in tune with the universe." That self-centric approach leads to only disaster. The meaning of human existence lies solely in the fundamental question: How do we treat each other? Answer: Only with LOVE!

Great interview. Visual disturbance by continual sound waves.

Thisxis SO interesting,and VERY brave .Thank you,

Got two hands

Most Excellent Commentary! Highly Insightful! Thank You!

Hello. I've just stumbled on your channel and it's a revelation and amazing reflection on all things Blake. I'm curious if you've ever researched and presented a video or essay on Blake's relation to the platonic scholar Thomas Taylor and other contemporaries like Walking Stewart?

I've got a printing of The Divine Comedy with illustrations/plates by William Blake. It was a gift from a professor. It's my favorite book due to the illustrations. As for Crowley, i only possess Diary of a Drug Fiend and Book of Thoth.

My body was formed by Los! (Los Angeles) Was the thing in the movie 'The 9th Gate' about how the plates in the book were not all the same in every version, or in the same order, a reference to this Blake work?

It would take a billion yugas

Interesting video. Anyone who would include Blake as a saint cannot, verily, be anything like a "great beast" or "wickedest man alive". In fact, quite the opposite. I think Crowley got up the noses of the religious "authorities," namely the Catholic Church, who wanted him branded and labelled "wickedest", because he let out the genie of personal magic which obviates religious dogma... Did he start any wars, genocides, drop any A-bombs, or even kill one person? Who are the wickedest, then, really? Crowley, Yeats, Blake and Osman would be the first on the anti-war protest lines, so... We've (or, they've) had it all backwards.

Wlliam Flat Earth Blake!!

Excellent presentation with excellent visuals, thank you so much for sharing .

Great video, very well composed. Will follow for sure

Thank you Jason for your very insightful analysis and comparison of these three important figures. I’m a huge fan of Blake and AOS. I look forward to more videos.

Enjoyed this ❤📚

A genuine and honest intellectual study of Crowley's life and works would find resonances in the works of Lord Byron, D.H. Lawrence, Bertrand Russell, Oscar Wilde, Aldous Huxley, Isaiah Berlin, Nietzsche, Bulwer Lytton, Terence McKenna and Leni Riefenstahl at the very least.
