Lolz a lecture on antisemitism sharexs links to anti-semitic and anti-israel soros orgs like ifnotnow ... Tolkien society is obviously occupied by soros commie puppets and hamas terrorists

It's a pleasure listening to you speak

This is one best things in the internet ever.

This selection of quotes is a real celebration of the poetic state of mind. Inspiring stuff.

Absolutely mind-numbing content. There are people on reddit who can present better talking points than this same-old same-old garbage.

I really enjoyed this talk. Thank you very much.

People should look at "Spiritual Destinations of an Anarchist" by Peter Lamborn Wilson

looking at my copy of Rimas y Leyendas by Becquer.. needs a re-read

Book recommendation for "wrestling Christianity away from the fascists": Timothy Patitsas, The Ethics of Beauty. On the God-shaped absence: Edmond Jabes, writing poetry about God (in French), offers the paradox NUL/L'UN.

Tolkien's Beowulf is the book i will read next, i finished The Monsters and the critics compilaton book in may, this presentation right here is also wonderful as background context and analysis!

Beautiful and sublime talk, Sara!

lovely nerdy q&a

What?? Don’t forget the kitchen sink, lady.

Sara Brown always gets a click

I enjoy this Buddha-inspired approach to examining reality immensely! It's not about good and evil, but rather more real and less real. The less real is always an idealistic, intellect-fueled reduction of truth. The real is meaningful, while the not real can become meaningtudinous at best. Big love for Timothy and his work, especially in the last few years! 💜

I can't heart this enough. Absolutely transcendent. Thank you.

"Upon that ship which was cast the highest and stood dry upon a hill there was a man, or one in man’s shape, but greater than any even of the race of Numenor in stature...And it seemed to men that Sauron was great; though they feared the light of his eyes. To many he appeared fair, to others terrible; but to some evil."

My comment on this video in particular has nothing to do with THIS video but with the channel itself. I am sure they know by now why so, so many lifelong Tolkien fans are unsubscribing. One of the few places in the world we go gets infiltrated by the same garbage agenda as everywhere else? No thanks, we'll stick to Tolkien's vision, please take your agendas elsewhere. Specific videos actually disable comments and dislikes which is so telling. Tolkien Society should have millions of subs, which it won't, because of the garbage.

Burdetsky was most insightful. I'd like to thank the Tolkien Society for hosting her! Is there a transcript/minutes available that could be used to provide accurate captions for the hearing impaired? The only drawback to this was in trying to follow this with KZbin's text. ♥

Pseudo-intellectual tosh.

Jacob Boehme also seems to have read the Revelation retrospectively, by harmonizing it with the crucification accounts (basically coming to the understanding that all of this and all of creation as described in Genesis is happening eternally and at every moment as creatio continua)

1) The desire for power and immortality, which are the main factors in the fall of Númenor, are actually themes that support each other. In addition to being commodity-based, the desire for power also applies to the spiritual (metaphysical) dimension. Having immortality as you gain power, gaining immortality and gaining more power. This idea became a sociological phenomenon over time in Númenórean society. 2) As seen in his words to Húrin, Melkor states that everything is shaped according to his will since he incarnated his spiritual power into Arda. Aware of these two facts, Sauron shaped his manipulation of the Númenóreans on the axis of power-immortality and directed them to the cult of Melkor, taking the driving force of their corruption from Melkor's will. When pure faith is commodified under the name of a religion with structures such as temples (the effect of Melkor's will on the structures structured from the material of Arda in which he is incarnated) or when certain rules based on coercion are defined as a whole (limitation of free will), evil (Melkor's will) ) tends and corrupts. This is how I read why Tolkien does not include structures such as religion and temples in Númenor and why they cause malevolent connotations.

Twin Judah Twin aka Twin Maryiam Twin (Twin Flames)

pagan doctrines of The Trinity, the Virgin Birth, Sunday Worship, Christmas, Easter, etc. were all formulated and the New Testament texts altered to “imply” these new doctrines in direct contradiction of explicit commandments from YHVH. Throw in the obelisk (steeple) with the cross of Tammuz and the new religion was now complete and Constantine had his “Universal (Catholic) Church”. He then brought in all the pagan sun worshipping “fathers and nuns” from Mithraism and Brigit worship, altered the texts of the New Testament to fit his new religion, and began teaching the illiterate masses a lie that this “religion” was based on The Bible. He then killed any dissenters in the inquisition and banished all intellectual thought in The Dark Ages and 2,000 years later we have accepted every word of this lie as “Truth”. Still to this very day, no one questions “why” the name Jesus gives glory to Zeus not YHVH and “why” the name is not even in the Hebrew language. More information: Hesus Horus Krishna - The False Messiah Jesus Christ Do not go looking for knowledge Constantines sun Jesus H Christ is all the knowledge you need, he is the way the truth the life, the only way for enternal life is by idol worshipping his sun 🌞 ☀️ *Eats forbidden tree of knowledge aka Kabbalist Teachings* Reaches level 10 G-d consciousness *Makes the powers that be my foot stool* When the Holy One, blessed be He, created Adam, He created him androgynous, as it is said, “He created them male and female and… He called them Adam.” Genesis Rabbah 8:1 < " the Xtrian Gnostics *christ consiouness* You fools!

Very interesting talk. While some Gnostic themes are quite recognizable, I think the Hermetic comparison is more valuable and this view was closest to Tolkien's ideas. It is also very interesting to compare Tolkien's mythos with the ideas from the late Catholic hermeticist Valentín Tomberg, specially in his magnum opus Meditations on the Tarot.

Wait... Is Lupin III a Tolkienist ?

Thank you to the Tolkien Society for uploading these presentations. I'm the presenter in this video, so if anybody has any questions I'm happy to continue the discussion now that the video is online.

David seems to be a big fan of the first season of Lupin

Who is this mumbling schmuck who can't be bothered to comb his hair?

I spent many years puzzling over Mr. Bombadil. I finally decided that he was in the books to show us a life without fear. A life as Eru intended. The Hobbits show us people that have mostly forgotten fear, but Bombadil has never known it. He's not afraid of anything, not even social pressure :).

Om Namah Shivaya Har Har Mahadev

It gladdens my heart that i left this society ..I joined in 1981 when i was 14 years old.I am now 56, and i must say our society now is a shell of what it was . How can you support a company that is unlike Sauron, but more like Morgoth ? I have just finished watching The Rings Of Power, and have come to the conclusion that ...there is no Tolkien ,and i mean NO TOLKIEN in the tv series at all .....absolute zero writing in any of his texts,and i am wondering why as a society whom i loved , WHY did you sell out to Amazon? Please answer ,apart from a few place names and charactors,what actual Tolkien is in this sham of a show which our (sorry your) society endorses? Or am i missing something?

This has more Tolkien in it and it was released in 1975 than the Rings of Power will ever have kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYnFcoaVfa-onck

Great!!!

We have two German translations. In the older, the passage is translated word for word and simply doesn't work, because German doesn't have a man/Maan distinction, it only ever means man. So Pippin called himself genderless. The other translation completely reworked the passage with none of the punniness. There, Pippin agrees he's a man but points out that he's not human but hobbit

Do we know whether Westron allows for this ambiguity like I'm English? It doesn't even work in German where Mann is always unambiguous and never refers to humans or humankind. How about Sindarinm

Numenorean's were great at paying the Gift forward! The attempts at making sense of the "Gift of Men" by Tolkien have always rung hollow and intellectually poor
