Photagogia: Theurgy and the Luminous Vehicle
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 жов 2024
- Good evening,
Many viewers were expressing great interest in the video on "The Black Sun" and inquiring into the mystical experience of drawing in the light. This evening we'll be delving deeper into the nature of light through Iamblichean/Proclean metaphysics surrounding the theurgic ascent on the luminous rays. This is a complicated and information-packed video. Do not feel overwhelmed and try to take it all in slowly.
Take care.

Isn’t it great to be alive right now? I really believe that we have come down to here at this specific time, because for the first time in recorded human history, ANYONE can become initiated into these long hidden mysteries.
Pauper or Prince, peasant or noble, anyone with an internet connection has access to this beautiful knowledge.
What a time to be alive. Thank you for your work
May God bless you!
You speak truth.
Glad you're back. I've been deeply confused by the work of Dr Ammon hillman lately. Coming back here give me a sense of peace
😂😂 same here
Beware of that man. His personal history is pretty inconsistent with his statements. He has an ulterior motive to make inflammatory claims in order to bolster his notoriety. His translations are cherry picked and he uses confirmation bias to support his hot takes while leaning on his degree as a symbol of authority to discourage questioning.
I'm no Christian sympathizer but there is something clearly off about that man. If you are confused that is a symptom of deception.
Ammon is just out to shock people it seems
@@whisllaymjunior6616 Glad i'm not alone. I'm really interested by the texts he has access to and his methodology about ancient greek. I feel I've stumbled upon something important but he seems to reduce everything to drugs and i'm insanely distracted by his erratic movements. I'd like to understand what Dionysos is and his views about the gods especially IAO but for now all I get is 90% of screams, oh my god, him beating the ground with a fly swatter. The other 10% I get is Medea is the real goddess that get you drunk to death and get you back to life
@@LibraryoftheUntold I'd like to make sense of his stuff but most of it goes over my head
The only channel brave enough to discuss real Theurgy ❤
Not true check out American Esoteric and that's just me naming one but yes they're hard to come by
@@SavannahShepherd669 American Esoteric is really good too! I've been following him since his Apollonius vid. however, Abbas is just on another level.
This is profound. They knew so much more than we. No wonder the Greek philosophers are kept in the shadows.
saying that Greek philosophers are kept in shadows is like saying America is being hidden away
@@violasses Sorry to say that most people living know nothing about the Greek philosophers and their works.
@@violassesSure, but their metaphysics weren’t taken seriously because of modern natural sciences being fundamentally empirical and materialistic. The first time I heard of Plato’s theory of forms it was because someone was making fun of it while offering a half baked understanding themselves.
@@JellieThePink their metaphysics is not kept in the shadows either, it's just been recontextualized or partially proven untrue according to vastly more reasoning and empirical research. you can freely access information about the theory of forms or of pythagorean numbers if you want, and they have been influencial ideas in the development of modern sciences. but ultimately, education's most important task is to inform accurately, not inform according to a theme.
I discovered your channel tonight and as far as first impressions go your work is the embodiment of what i seek everynight i settle down and explore youtube. Im lost for words but wanted to express this before I explore your earlier work and also diverge into the new sources you quote and connect a inner truth i resonate with and must now discern for myself. This discovery was a blessing and I will be following along from this moment forward!
Thank you :)
Thank you for sharing your wisdom!
Love your work!
Thank you!
I like the way you presented the translation in text as you read Julians Hymn to Helios
GOATED channel
Dude this video connected so much stuff going back years. Merely the argonautic line of the sun returns to its start in the path . The LVX
This was very welcome, I've been rereading Geosophia by JSK recently and your ritual explanation of the murderous return to the island makes total sense, very generous, thank you.

A wonderful lecture, thank you.
Finally! another video. cant wait to listen to it
Just as sunlight can overwhelm the retinal cells, divine light can overwhelm the psychic faculties. The prisoner liberated from the cave is blinded until his sight has adjusted. He learns to perceive the luminous with his heart instead of his eyes. However, only a small number of people have hearts pure enough to perceive it, for most of us have had our hearts hardened. Suhrawardi states, “lift the veils of darkness from my heart,” for once the heart is liberated from its burdens, it might become filled with light. The heart becomes the spherical-shaped flask of the alchemists, wherein the gods do their work.

Yay backrounds ty I watch the vids so can't do the podcast even if I enjoy the content
I really love your work, thank you!
I, sir, though among you, have not seen a hawk circling the sky looking for its prey.
Brilliant... but I have to ask: what do you think of the Nietzschean rejection of Being? Even as a long time platonist, I find his later works such as Twilight of the Idols quite convincing and unsettling.
@@philalethes216 My experience with reading Nietzsche is that he is not an either-or type of thinker, he is both at once and incredibly nuanced (just like Plato) and at odds with himself, yet because of that relentless penetrating gaze of his, he goes too deep---into the formless seething mass of pure power that runs like a current underneath the entire appearance of all that exists (pure becoming). Plato did not disagree about the role of becoming but his project was more concerned with distinguishing that which is always the same as itself vs that which both is and is not. A world in pure Becoming would be so unpredictable and chaotic that nothing could be known about anything. But it's also important to know that Nietzsche and Plato agree on more than the diatribes against him would suggest. He essentially creates a caricature of Plato ("Plato ...becomes a caricature in my hands") as a foil for his own arguments. I've learned that the best way to understand them both are as sage-artists. Creating a beautiful mosaic and acting out the work of the demiurge in their own way.
@@abbasalchemist Thank you for this comment. It's so deeply insightful that it could be a video in its own right, (perhaps if you are up for it). I think all that you say here is correct. It's not so much that in grappling with Nietzsche for a long time I found a straightforward 'refutation' of Plato, but rather that it made me identify inevitable traces of what Nietzsche calls the Ascetic Ideal, or what I jokingly once referred to as "Becoming denial" to a friend, which I find to be, in many ways, *the* fundamental problem of man this side of the Axial Age -- to the extent that even self-professed atheists or the irreligious suffer deeply from this; and as Nietzsche pointed out, it's even an in-built feature of our grammar. Nietzsche and Plato are really the two crown jewels of the Western philosophical tradition and I'm glad that as an esotericist you acknowledge them both. As at odds as they seem with one another there is surely something to be said for the ultimate wisdom that is their reconciliation.
Do you have a full transcript already written out, it would be great to have!

for me, today, your channel is a new revelation. God knows how you suffer, sir! 🐈⬛
