I’ve read Emerson & Thoreau since high school and come back to them from time to time throughout my life. It’s astounding how relevant Emerson’s poetic essay rings true to what seems to me as a reminder of Ascension and Awakening of the soul during these harrowing extraordinary times. Unity of thought 💭 🙏🏼
Holy shit. This is the most beautiful Soul that has ever put pen to paper. Emersons products find their place so befittingly in my heart. I'm so proud of him lol, that he could communicate these things so well. What a brilliant mind!
@@HidingPlainSight I've read almost all of his work since this comment. Thanks for the suggestion anyhow, I think anybody who enjoys Emerson shares my moral intuitions, those impulses which are in us before any religious or political doctrine. So I wish you the best and all the victories in your struggles. God bless!
Growing up Muslim, with the doctrine that signs are revealed in all aspects of nature, from the "external" world to your secret thoughts, to the thoughts which hide themselves from you (unconscious), emerson makes so much sense to me.. I dont even read his parable work as poetry, everything here is true in the most real sense to me.. What a great Soul Emerson was!
It's almost miraculous how most people have not heard of the Over-world, or Over-soul. It's a very underlying topic to most Westerners. Thank you, for this upload.
Westerners? Smh not another Peterson fan 😂 Emerson liked the Orient's view of organized religion more than the Western :/ He quotes the Caliphs of Islam more than any Calvanist or Christian.. These things he explored are possessions of every Man and the ancestors of all Men. You provincial dummy.
@@malikialgeriankabyleswag4200 No, He did not. I have read Emerson's work for more than hundred times and I haven't found any quotes of Caliphs of Islam more that 1 or 2. Do not lead this to a sect direction by your subjected view.
Bob, you have a talent for reading aloud that goes far beyond the ordinary. Have you read other essays I might find? Many thanks. I have listened to you read this lecture many times. The language of the day in Emerson's time was so rich by today's standards. I have had to read and read the lecture myself, sometimes with a dictionary at hand.
Notes from the underground although a very different sort of read with the opposite angle 📐 of life., but t superb. Bob is excellent in both. A dichotomy of works one of optimism and one of pessimism but both critical and I think that Bob clearly chose them💡🧨👌
"The influence of the senses has, in most men, overpowered the mind to the degree that the walls of time and space have come to look real and insurmountable, and to speak of levity of these limits is, in their world, a sign of insanity-- yet time and space are but inverse measures of the force of the Soul. The Spirit plays with time: can crowd eternity into an hour or stretch an hour to eternity. We often perceive another scale of time than that which is measured from our physical birth, some thoughts always find us young and keep us so. Such a thought is a reverence of the Eternal Love and rectitude. All men part from such contemplation feeling it rather belongs to regions or ages rather than to one of mortal life. The least intellectual or moral activity redeems us to a degree from the conditions of time: in sickness or in anger, produce a volume of Shakespeare or of Seneca, or remind us of their names, and instantly we are refreshed. Is the teaching of Jesus less true now than it was when first his mouth was opened? The emphasis of facts or persons on my mind has nothing to do with time, and so, always, the Soul's scale in one, the scale of the senses and the understanding is another." Wow

"The difference between discerners of the understanding like Locke, Spinoza, Newton etc, esteemed accomplished talkers and philosophers, and the sages like Jesus and Zoroaster, here or there a fervent mystic, prophesizing half insane under the infinitude of his thought, is that the latter class speak from WITHIN or from experience, and the first class from without as spectators merely, or perhaps on the evidence of third persons. It is no use to speak to me from without. I can do that too easily myself. Jesus speaks only from within, and in a degree which transcends all reality, in that is the miracle. I believe beforehand that it ought so to be!"
I don't agree with him here, on the metaphysics, but he approaches the mysteries of nature and being with a humility and awe which are rare and commendable.
I dont think it's right to regard Emersons works as poetry. I think this is all to be taken quite literally. It is an objective account of Human experience. I think we are too tied to the 'reality' our science describes, or at least that scientific descriptions correlate with, and we've thrown away our trust in the Real reality, which is present prior to any endeavor scientific or otherwise. All other things including the "realities" of science come from this Reality that Emerson, NietZsche, others were attempting to explore

29:45-30:30 was profound
