You sir have a way of demystifying the mystics that honestly is an art form as much as scholastic excellence, one based on empirical evidence and a command of the complex and varied reference library that is in this day and age is not just rare but a real treasure. I leave you with the hope you know His name and call upon it, Be Blessed.
A few years ago, I'd fall asleep to videos about UFOs and other such things. Then I moved on to ancient history. Then Tolkien lore. Now I'm falling asleep to your videos. They are thankfully a stable and mellow volume level. Also, often enough, they are interesting enough to hold my interest if I can't sleep. There are other channels that could hold this space for me, but they have thumping bass at the beginning and end of their vids, so they disqualify themselves. I'm glad I found your channel.
I have a background in philosophy, comparative religion, and the occult. This was still incredibly dense with information. Much of which was way over my head. You must really want your viewers to rewatch your videos multiple times, because that's what I'm obliged to do. However, I do it with admiration. Kudos.
Yeah, this is a pretty advanced video. I try to load the videos with lots (both audio and in the text comments) of info for rewatch value and so that folks can get more information if they choose. I think for most videos this will be about as 'deep' as they get for now. Though, if the channel is successful I want to also do some more content that is more 'graduate' level stuff. I am totally open to feedback if the content is either simplifies things too much or goes over folks' heads - I want the channel to be both approachable and challenging and striking that balance is something I'll have learn how to do along the way.
@@mike3325able It is likely that it holds much more information and complexity for someone who knows the extent/details of every word/concept/tradition/symbol mentioned here.
Many laypeople myself included didn't make it to university, either because we just didn't have the requisites in grades || mathematics or because, as with myself, I went into the private industry early because I "knew what I wanted to do with my life". Anyway, you regularly give us a peek into scholarly research that we don't always have access to(most published papers are pay per view or subscription based. Sometimes even requiring credentials.) I would also say that you allow the public and myself access to an educated and well read personage such as yourself(in the form of your opinions and information), an event that does not always readily present itself in my social circles(see: dumbass drinking buddies)which I imagine is true for most laypeople. For this and the material on the channel itself AWA just your disposition and uplifting ethos, I thank you sincerely and applaud your efforts. In other words: Thnx for the vids bro!
My reason for my interest in John Dee is because he is a character in the new book of the Flemish writer Jeroen Olyslaegers 'Wildevrouw, or Wild Woman in English (yet to be translated). It actually is quite a best seller in Flanders, Belgium. It concerns the period when the city of Antwerp was at its hight, before being destroyed by the Spanjards. People such as Dee, Bruegel and Plantyn are all present but the main character is a bar holder who at one point harbors Dee in his lodge. In the course of the book the main character is intirgued by the works of Dee and hopes to contacts angels. Definatly a book you have to read when you are interested in the life of John Dee.
This video is tremendous. I am reading your thesis now. Humbled by your channel. The Monas Hieroglyphica is the sum total of the last 2 years of seeking and designing graphics of my own work. Much thanks Justin. I am currently a Patreon to the channel but hope I have something more than $ to offer someday.
I applaud you sir I joined last December 2020 and I have got to say . I look forward to learning more this year and as soon as possible investing in you and yours Bravo
Dee was a very important man in the life of Elizabeth The First. And I think she may have had to protect him more than once because of his beliefs and practices, which were forbidden in Tudor England!🙏🕊️🙏
EXCELLENT video. Dee's monad is important Not just within Hermeticism and alchemy but Astrology as well. In fact it's 'pure truths' of the monad's constituent parts and gist of their related philosophy is a kind of ongoing oral tradition among astrologers although few realize it's connection to Dee and the alchemists.
Nicely done. Thanks! I look forward to the rest. Particularly to some consideration of the whole subject of steganographia. "However, with a certain Artfulness, the Wise will gladly allow the figures of SHADOWS to exist in the sinuous curves of true Bodies, lest the choicest lettuces be offered to asses rudely rushing into the Hesperian Gardens, though thistles would be good enough for them."
Thanks - hope you have a chance to look at my thesis, my semiotic analysis of the MH. Also RE: steganographia I will certainly be doing some stuff there, especially Trithemius, who I see more important as a information theorist than a cryptographer.
Wait wait wait..."he is combing two topics...Alchemy/Astrology, and Cabala using Sacred Geometry as a kind of bridge...isn't that THREE topics being bridged by Sacred Geometry? Indeed, I will peruse your Master's Thesis, to understand this better! Look forward to watching the other two episodes...Your work, dear sir, is fantastic! Thank you for sharing!!!
What i love about the Monas Hieroglyph is that upright it looks likes man/father, with emphasis placed on the mind & its intellect, and a *member* between the legs. But if you turn it upside down it looks like woman/mother, with breasts at the top, and an emphasis placed on the body & its womb with a life inside.
Thanks, Ruan! Though, I just want to say that I'm not a Rabbi (I don't that that training nor those credentials) but have an academic background. I just don't want anyone to get the wrong idea! Happy to share what I know so we can all learn together!
Hey Justin, just wanted to send you some words of encouragement and gratitude for your monumental work and service to the furthering of the intellect of mankind. Strong work Doc. Also, you mentioned getting a book from UofK, are you from around ky?
I live near Dr Dee's house in Mortlake, and his supposed grave under St Mary the Virgin's church. Curiously, Sir Richard Burton's tomb lies a few hundred yards away. Those two might have some interesting conversations underground.
Neat - I've heard there really isn't much from the period left in the area (aside from the church). If you happen to walk past, let him know I say "Etharzi!"
@@TheEsotericaChannel You're right, of course. I should have said 'the site of Dr Dee's house'. It is now occupied by a block of public housing, unsurprisingly named 'John Dee House'.
Thank you again, Sledgemeister. Me love you long time. Obsessed with this book for over twenty years. Your presentations on it are informative. I hope I never understand it in full. It might take the magic out of it. I think the Propaedeumata Aphoristica and the preface to Euclid, along with the Monas H., are in a sense sister books, each shedding light one upon the other, irrespective of publication dates. Have you found this to be true also?
Given that Dr. Dee certainly read and I think even mentions "Steganographia" by Johannes Trithemius and his obsession and practical successes with cryptography, what's the likelihood that "Monas Hieroglyphica" is an elaborate cryptographic system or in itself a text produced by such system, so that true meaning can be recovered only after decoding? It always struck me how some remarks in the text of "Monas Hyeroglyphica" seem out of place of main context (as long as I can follow one). Almost if some entry points for a cypher.
Is the thesis not available anymore? I would like to use it for my college thesis, I study design of graphic communication and love this channel, if it's not available anymore it's ok (:
Mortlake is pronounced with the stress on the first syllable. I know this is highly relevant information, and that your life is profoundly enriched by it.
John Dee: I wrote a book that unifies the collective knowledge of mankind into a pure form depicted through a single sign The world: what the hell? The internet: what the hell? My sleep paralysis demon: quae est infernum? Dormi ire,est tres in mane
@@TheEsotericaChannel its terriblE but i suck at counting! Also legit did not know that thanks. Would you consider episodes on occult figures and their work,like this one but for example on Rasputin or Newton, its often mentioned they were involved but no one ever delves into it.
@@SHAX516 Absolutely - major figures and major works will be part of the channel for sure. I'm lucky to have so much material to work with. Stay tuned and always feel free to shout out ideas. I'm certainly listening!
sounds like Dee grasped a basic understanding of how how our physical bodies and minds and consciousness are the all and god is the coding software that makes it all exist. lately i think everything is like a fractal the more you zoom in it gets bigger and the more you zoom out it gets bigger.
Me, making my morning coffee with a Chemex pour over: hmmm yes. Alchemy. Fr though this video is great! John Dee has been a major interest of mine since I read a book with him in it. The author was pretty off base about him tbh.
"The Monas Hieroglyphica is one of the most difficult and obscure books I know of. In fact, it's been called the most obscure book ever written by an Englishman". Austin Osman Spare: "Hold my beer".
While Dee did not have the modern theory of Semiotics, he wasn’t far wrong. Eduardo Kohn the author of “How Forests Think” notes about semiosis and life: “Life, then, is a sign process. Any dynamic in which ‘something…stands to somebody, for something in some respect or capacity,’ as Peirce’s (CP 2.228) definition of a sign has it, would be alive.” [p.74] Being is to be alive, and life is a semiotic process, or more properly all semiotic processes are alive. At least in the view of a modern Anthropologist having to deal with the “Masters of the forest.” Considering that we can view particle interactions as a semiotic process, maybe we should consider the universe itself as being or as a collection of beings.
When I was in high school in the 70s, I wanted to start a band and name it Hermen and the Hermeneutics, but I was afraid it would be misinterpreted. :)
the whole concept of everything existing because of a "divine language", is no different than people thinking we exist in a holographic universe, since both stem from a basis of some form of code of creation, or writing of some form, just exchange letters for numbers and you get something akin to the matrix
Meanwhile, if you feel like you can understand (John) Dee clearly on your first pass, that is the indicator which suggests that you don't really understand Dee at all.
If i may, its a slight variatuon of yhe astrological symbol for the bull and is depicted as being a bridge between man woman and heavens. Jahovah *who people sometimes call Jehovah* is symbolized by the bull as well, the old testament God. It is not a devil figure and Enochian script, also called celestrial script is the language of the Elohim (the angels).
My great^10 grandfather from the 1500s was colleagues with Dr. John Dee. My grandfathers name was John Field the Astronomer from Yorkshire. He went to jail with John Dee!
“Ephemeris anni 1557 currentis juxta Copernici et Reinholdi canones … per J. Feild … ad Meridianum Londinensem … supputata. Adjecta est Epistola J. Dee, qua vulgares istos Ephemeridum fictores reprehendit, London, 1556”
What, if like Water at the start and end of Governing Names, the Abyss is within and outside all? I would say that space started as a dot; then positive and negative was known.

So if Dee managed to solve the problem of Ontology itself by drawing a picture...... well, what is the solution? Can I solve the problem of how meaning relates to essences by scribbling on a sketch pad? What if one of my kids accidentally draws the symbol to harmonise the GUT of Physics?! You know, I feel like Dee might be pulling our legs.....

I always find it interesting that the Monad looks like a “satan” with the horns and hooves. The Christian side of me can’t help but wonder if he did actually infiltrate these ideologies, convincing people that they themselves are god.
hmmmph...Feynman had it numbers, mathematics, could calculate the orbits of the Sun and Moon, but not describe them...oh, Dee as Prospero here...Abraham Zacut another Dee!?...these hermatic philosophers were astronomers, holders of navigation lore...pre Columbian Americas had their like...Americas in their thrall more likely!
in biblical texts God creates as He speech..... philosophically, The name creates the object...In fact, naming is the ability of differentiation, the way to quantify the continuum ....Speech is the divine power of mankind, the God’s spirit blown into Adam....In the Gnosis of the Quran we say that Angels prosterne to Adam (act of submission) only after that God learns him all words. This eternal image folds human evolution, humanity gaining knowledge, the empowerment of men to control the elements (Angel) leading him to role over creation,,, the apocalyptic fulfillment of Adam creation. ...
ESOTERICA yes, fondamenally rooted in esoteric art... Gemetria in the Hebrew language lights up the best this concept of creation but very hard to grasp its insides ... it will be great to have your reflections on this topic in a video.
