Our ancestors throughout earth understood and caretook their world, the mechanisms of nature glorified.. Worship is a manmade religious strategy 🙏
Great to hear John's voice, made a pilgrimage to his grave lately, we won't see his likes again, may he know peace and love in heaven, God be good to him.
I'm curious John - where is he buried?
@@tomoleary345 aghadoe graveyard off the tralee Road just outside kilarney,
Thank god for this human 🙏
I love John's voice and his words -- he speaks such ecological wisdom; his death at a relatively early age was so sad; God be good to him.
So beautiful and enriching. May you RIP John Moriarty and may you be with the light of God at all times. Thank you for your gift to this earth.
Amazing! It's like listening to William Blake in person. " For everything that lives is holy".
Really? Parasites and the COVID virus included?
He's absolutley breathless, exuding insight and poetic exploration. It's as though he knows he hasn't the time left to get everything out of him, or through him, and so it leaps out of him, barely controlled.
My God, what a dinner it would be to share with him and John O'Donohue! Two of the most lucid, imaginative, generous minds in recent times to come from Ireland.
a privleage it would be to be witness to those conversations
We all need this right now
What a beautiful mind and soul ❤🙏
god what a brilliant man, such a fertile mind
Thank you Francis. I agree with you, the world should ( and needs to ) hear John's words.
John Moriarty, through his thoughts and words, has this mystical ability to sanctify the moment, He had this God giving gift of drawing the listener or reader into a world of truth and beauty.. The mind is opened up and the eyes are demisted and the senses calmed,
John helps us to see the sacred in the profane, the divine in the creation and the beauty inside and all around us.
Tá sé ag stealladh brilléise.
Thank you
Coming late to this amazing man. Reminds me of Manchan Magan. I had a dream once about being in a desolate apocalyptic landscape in some form of ragged shelter, with a mouse and a berry for company...
Better late than never! John was quite something 😌
@@franciscassidy2131 my first book has arrived..The mud hut at the edge of the village. John has dropped into my house and we are looking forward to becoming friends. So thankful for the recordings, to hear him speak is wonderful.
@@brigidteehan6414 nice! Martin Shaw's book is a good intro to John. Enjoy the read!
🙏❤️
Amazing thoughts. Religiously in collision….
I spent much of my time listening to this in tears.
He spoke this at the peak of the Celtic Tiger and now it is already coming round again with too little change
First three minutes totally agree with soil mismanagement in Conniachta...who are these hybrids scavenging around the tomb building lepors..???.
Hello. What year was this recorded? I have just discovered him and am overjoyed!
Glad you enjoyed it Aoife. Not sure of the exact year, but it was likely recorded in the early nineties, perhaps 93 or 94
That was astonishing. Johns up there with Alan Watts and the likes 👍
Does anyone know when was this recorded? I heard John saying the phrase 'more-than-human" which David Abram was credited with coining but in my mind I would rather like to give the credit to John and his wonderful genius.
i've just seen the reply further down that says 1993 or 4 so that means he pre-dates Abram's more-than-human by a few years - I am very glad about that. Thank you for this incredible recording.
When was this recorded, Francis? He mentions 5 billion people - which was what....20 years ago?
I'm not 100% sure, but I think it was the early to mid 90's
Where is it possible to find johns reflection on the seven sacraments?
Check out the book Serious Sounds that he wrote
I used to work as a labourer on construction sites “up north” and often worked alongside Irish men, with poetic souls and poetic tongues… there was often a glimpse of John in them. Listening to this reminds me of them: navvies working in the mud, looking up to excelsis.
But the ghost dance didn't work for the Sioux to undo the Manifest Destiny, so why should it work for us? We are not the ones who will redeem ourselves. The fact is, these ideas are all about we humans trying to save ourselves by changing ourselves. We cannot. All we can do is cry out to God, "why have You forsaken us?" We have to give up all hope in ourselves, descending into the pit of hell, until our self-sufficiency is dead, our self-importance is dead, our pride is dead. God must help us in all this, we cannot decide to do it ourselves.
Why was this video not edited? For speed and gasping intake of breath of Moriarty? Even adjusted to 0.75 speed, listening to the otherwise delightful content, wipes out its value. Like a beautiful poem marred by misspellings and ink stains...
If we did indeed lose our souls Genesis 1:28, the most destructive words ever put to ink and paper, is the reason. All the cold soulless scientific advances made since can be traced directly out of that first commandment of God and holy doctrine to go forth and subdue the Earth, and take dominion over everything for our own self serving needs and desires.
The Irish state was founded by people like this Dreamers and Mystics divorced from reality unfortunately too many people took them seriously
Great pity about the speed and gasping breath
This man is confused.
