The brief moment there is no thought! The Enlightenment. Excellent explanation. Very difficult to explain by logic, but somewhere there, it must be. We know that we are not that image. (i.e. saying it is a mirage, which is not real). A direct understanding that this is reality. Thought is the sickness of the Mind. Past reflections, present experiences and future imaginations are understood clearly, that it is not me. There is nothing to behold as me, no event taken as mine, no physical body belongs to me. Excellent! Thank you very much !

The Collected Works of Chinul .... wow, expensive to get a copy these days....

Wasn’t he an alcoholic womanizer?

I should have had you in high school. Good man !

This was super helpful. At first, I found the Phaedo difficult. But after rereading Homer, the Pre-Socratics and a few of the other dialogues, I understand it better now. Pierre’s insight is very appreciated. He is so very good at explaining things. I am now on to the commentaries of the Phaedo by Olympidorus and Damascius

avoid all Watts lkike the plague, Youve been WARNED. Go at your own risk,,of Death

thanks AGAIN

thanks

I am a born again Christian but I love philosophy to know how human think. Your move is great and great duologue is prefect thanks Pierre and team

Master Pierre ! 💖🙌✨

I can't decide for his writing

I think Grimes is wrong. He implies that one cannot stop thinking. If you meditate concentrating on sensation. You get to a point where thought disappears. There's only sensation. Sensation precedes thought. You just move your awareness to sensation.

Fascinating!

Pierre Grimes is a wealth of knowledge! Would have liked to have heard him talk at length about Plato! BTW, regarding Chinul's book "Korean Approach to Zen", how does Hwadu differ from Hua Tou / Gongfu meditation?

Mathematics or Equivalence?

Thank you for these amazing videos.

Metaphysical Realism: Reality = That which is. Since only That which is can either affirm or deny that there either is or is not That which is, there is That which is. That which is, that is nothing in particular (actual), is by definition everything in general (potential) - the All in One in All, the all-inclusive Absolute One without a second. "There is no such thing as security in this world, only opportunity". - Gen. Douglas MacArthur - Core Self = That I am Essential Self = What I am Social Self = Who I am (ego) We have to 'make' it happen outwardly, and 'let' it happen inwardly. God = Creative Intelligence Creative Intelligence is omnipresent. We are all It to an unknowable/inexhaustible extent, as the facets of a Diamond are 'both' distinct from each other 'and' the Diamond itself. Love is the recognition of our shared Being. Because potential for actualization is Infinite, actualization of potential is Eternal, for only Eternity can fully embrace Infinity. We actualize our potential by dreaming our experience and experiencing our dream. Primordial ignorance presents an apparent limit. Is it a limit or a creative guideline? No wrong answer - only a choice of perspective. Truthformation: What appears as a limit is in Reality a creative guideline. It is identification with the temporal that blocks awareness of our Eternal nature. Freedom is a Way of Being. Being aware of being aware is unmodulated by the 5 senses, thus unfettered and the resonant frequency state closest in alignment with the frequency of the all-inclusive Absolute where all things are possible (Wisdom and Understanding). Every choice we make generates a corresponding timeline of experience. The rhythm of Life is a movement and a rest.The optimum (Heaven), is always found somewhere between the extremes of too much and too little (hell). We seek to become Master Wayfarers because the only destination is a new Way of Being. Ultimately, our most significant choice in Life is between unconscious compulsive reaction and conscious creative response. United we stand..... Happy trails! Namaste'.

Master ....

When was this lecture done? My guess is 2000ish?

Intetesting that chuech listens to academics. To reason. To disqualify the athority of texts. But not the bible, god forbid.

Well this is just perfect....good old Pierre, wonderful style.....my thought throughout this was a thankful joy (with Pierre and his whole lecture) & that's a thought I'm only too willing to believe 😁✌🏻

What a fantastic lecture, I absolutely love Alan Watts and can recommend this to anyone who listens to Alan, this is both a personal and professional critique/understanding and it sure is worth watching...gotta love Pierre's style, so laid back yet utterly sharp...🙏🙏🙏🙏

thank you

Here we are in 2022 & we now know tribes in Africa do exactly this on a community level on Ibogaine and similar things are beginning to happen in a therapeutic context with respect to addiction, end-of-life anxiety & PTSD. I, for one, have some hope for enlightened applications towards social enhancement, understanding and meaning-making & wisdom seeking.

Thank you. Thank you so much. I am so grateful for this lecture. This has helped me more than I could have ever believed. To have stumbled across such a succinct and eloquent encapsulation of Alan's work has been a revelation. For me, stumbling through the works of J.Krishnamurti, Alan Watts, Yung and his contemporaries, this lecture has done so much, I am unable to express it. But the desire to reach out to you was so strong that, well I had to say something. This video for me is grace ❤️

Watts was a good speaker. Didn’t agree with his teachings at all..He was Totally wrong on many theory’s

Check 1 too... I'm guessing he's Jewish meaning mixed with Hashemite or Lebanese like the Bible says Jezreel sons of Ahad they now a day's change identity like they're last names say Allah's are King's , Al Bin in other terms as the Real Majesty of Spain and they expanded from one to another like the Asian Dynasty in the far east most likely influenced the Asian minor known as the Middle East it's all tribal and when 2 world's collide they produce a combination of each other's traditions but other's are too deep for the other that separates the identity from it's origin to branch off into it's own tree not necessarily in the same wilderness but region are next to each one but with them each producing different fruit they are still fruit but a bit foreign to the variety but not the seed and some are too foreign that the climate just can't make them bush grow in amongst the tree. So reality we are not able to co-exist if the soil being based region poisons the growth of the variety and produce tumble weeds this is not easy to define as vagrants but they also have variety although we can't grasp the concept in a frequency that flows from one to another if their be bad wiring in the connection leaving ground wires to be non effective as negative and positive but if this is not clear to either of the 2 ground wires are important to the electrical power just without the amount of currency needed by the other 2 it's force is also found in nature its natural than the other 2. Peace ✌🏼

The days are coming in which I will make the New Covenant with the Israel. In these days, I will put my Law in their bodies and write it on their hearts. I will be their King and they will be my people. And they will say no more: ''Know the King''. They will all know me. I will forgive their iniquity with Judah and I will remember their sin no more. I'm back. The Kingdom is here.

Harvard, Oxford, Yale? The absolute highest teachings and knowledge, for free here. KZbin is amazing and Pierre is a philosophical treasure… what a blessing this man is.

Piece is amazing!! ❤

Direct knowing is the highest knowledge not learned study or experience.

What is reading these comments?

Wow! This would have been great 6 years ago. But, I really liked the explanation Pierre gives. Fantastic that he knew Alan.

Awful ! This guy is completely uninspiring . Far too discursive ! We all love eccentric lecturers but there's a limit ! Rambling vaguely for an hour whilst constantly referring to notes is a joke !!

He’s hard to follow….

Buddhism is false, damnable false religion that leads to the ruin of souls. Repent and believe the gospel of Jesus Christ!

More people need to use cursive for presentations.

No attainment is possible. Already inherited, what’s to attain?

God & all of the Gods desire to BE=mc2 like ME=mc2. Who is not with ME=mc2 is against Them Selves & remain ever the grave!

The Supreme Identity was the one book that Alan later somewhat disparaged, he felt it was too much of an intellectualization. I believe he addresses this in his biography, In My Own Way.

The fact is The Supreme Identity is the one book that Alan somewhat later disparaged as too much of an intellectualization. I believe he addresses this in his autobiography, In My Own Way

Does anyone know when this talk was given?

36:46 This guy hasn't done psychedelics.

god tier

Interesting

Around the 14 min mark who is this Nicholas guy he mentioned. What’s his last name

My favorite channel for all things philosophy

I keep coming back.. It keeps changing me
