Happy peacful healthy new year...

[@Arachne1111]

Thank you so much for your work, I‘ve also really enjoyed the Meister Eckhart series this Month. You‘re helping me significantly in my learning. Your production, musical sensibility, philosophic fluency and comparative method are all contributing to that. It‘s great to have this community of people that learn together in a professional and critical manner - in a field in which scholars, practitioners and philosophers are often treated with exclusion and awful resentment by counter-productive agendas. (Groups that often happen to not have a lot of money either) May you enjoy a Blessed, Healthy and Powerful New Year!

[@MuftiMasala]

Love your channel brother. Have a good new year 🎉

The Eckhart sermons were a tremendous blessing during an unfortunately difficult Christmas.

Happy New Year! 2023 was definitely the year of me beginning to make a concerted effort to tie together my philosophical and spiritual sides and your channel has been extremely helpful with that as well as just generally being interesting to watch!

[@Word77787]

I realize now that I was acting crazy in the chat ( seriously) and want to let you know that I will not like, get carried away, I'm passionate about my beliefs, but I get it, okay. Filip this is the best! Studying religions has been a part of my life for 25 years or so, so you can understand how this channel would appeal to someone like me, and I must say this channel is absolutely the best! I've ever seen very good 👍

It is really nice to hear that the comments and participation have been so positive. I think you do a wonderful job of discussing religion and religious philosophy in a fair-minded and respectful way. You channel is a real treasure.

[@alwilliams5177]

I hope to be able to give some financial support in the near future. Both you and Justin have been inspirational and it is an honor to be a subscriber. New content from you is always a source of joy in our world filled with so much unnecessary foolishness. Keep making awesome content and music. Looking forward to checking out more of your musical output. Have a wonderful and productive New Year. Thanks for creating such a wonderful community to share. God's Peace.

Happy New Year 🎉🥂

[@cabwaylingo_]

really happy you mention how the community is actually really nice and discussions are more often than not in good faith, a veeery hard thing to achieve in youtube when talking about literal religious studies. i think its got a lot to do with how high quality the content is in the first place, i think it naturally attracts open minded people that care about well sourced material presented with the same love & respect they themselves have for the topics. anyways thank you for your vids like always filip! and happy holidays.

[@teachnola10]

Happy new year! Just saying: if you ever want to do like an hour-long super cut from your videos of you saying Arabic* names and titles of works, I would watch it on repeat. *sorry if this is the incorrect term.

[@kuu2856]

Came for the Neoplatonism, stayed for the great content. I had seen your videos around and I figured you were an atheist-esque content creator (I kept seeing videos like "The Gospel of Thomas" and others like that), but you make really good videos.

[@jaybird6905]

Saint John of Coltrane! really looking foreward to that

[@soham9119]

consider making a video on nabi Mirza ghulam ahmad (p.u.b.h) and his teachings.

[@michaeldillon3113]

Thank you Filip . I really enjoyed the videos on sufism - particularly the sufis of north africa and andalucia . Although i am very broadly an Advaitin ( who is devoted to Sri Ramana Maharshi) some of the sufis seem to expound ideas very similar to advaita vedanta . I know you cant get too political on here but i am confused between the contradiction between the beauty say of Rumi's poetry and the horrific treatment of say of the Yazidi people. I have seen on KZbin people justifying the treatment of the yazidis as being in accordance with islamic principles.??? What is the Truth here . ✌️

[@therongjr]

This makes me kinda jealous that none of my favorite KZbin content creators are likely to come to Pittsburgh so I can meet them. 😅

[@starcapture3040]

can we have an interview with Karren armstrong?

[@Chatetris]

I think the main reason for the comment section not being a "battle field" is due to the fact that most of us are interested in the study of Religion as a phenomena. One of my minors from my first degree is Religious Studies (East Asian Buddhism/Chinese Religions) and I can tell that you take the same sort of 'objective' approach to the discussion of Religion as any Religious Studies scholar would do, or at least 'try' to do in their work.

[@JoDusepo]

Nice ouds!! :D

[@AshaJurainiSulaiman]

I would like to make request if you could emphasize more on Ibnu Arabi book title fusasul Al hikam . Thank you.

[@mehboob-e-jahan9929]

Filip, Wishing your team members and you a happy New Year! You need to trim your hair and beard, I am afraid, although you are giving a look of a deep philosopher, which, no doubt, you are. You are a sweet and established mystic; nonetheless, you deserve to accept Islam as your basic faith as that's the only religion that provides a befitting perception about the unity & the existence of our Lord, the One & Only, and the Ultimate Truth & Conscious Energy. Your aura is quite strong and overwhelming! Thanks Mr Khan from Pakistan 🇵🇰 01 Jan 24

[@pellesvansl]

would love to see a video about Sufism in Palestine

Religion rewind 2023?

[@rdreher7380]

When you said "came out well," it was funny, I thought it was an English mistake. I don't think I've ever heard you make an English mistake; you're incredibly fluent of course, but I noticed that and was surprised. I taught English as a foreign language for years, so I notice these things. However, I was going to write about how "came out" is a usually a linking verb that uses adjectives, not adverbs, so you should say "come out good," but suddenly I got the urge to google "came out well," and found a million idiots saying that it's the correct way! I say they are idiots, because both are potentially correct, using "well" verses using "good" just changes the emphasis from the feeling of how the process went to the feeling of what the result was. As I was going to say, "come out" can be a linking verb, as in "I tried making a purple dye, but it in the end it came out blue." No one would ever say "*it came out bluely." For me, as a native speaker of American English, "came out good," would have sounded slightly more natural in the context where you used "came out well." However, what I was surprised to find is that the latter, "came out well," is seemingly considered more standard by many, to the point where some people think that "came out good," is UNGRAMMATICAL! Those are the idiots, with a very, very narrow prescriptivist view of "grammar." I'm a scholar of linguistics, so I know that "grammar" is not the bullshit taught in gradeschool, but the dynamic underpinnings of how a language can be structured and restructured to create discernable meaning, and it's obvious to anyone who looks at the linguistics evidence of English that the grammatical structure of "come out good" more closely correlates to its intended meaning of "the end result is good," so it makes sense that it would evolve in that direction. Some people don't even know what a linking verb is, and say shit like "I'm good" is not grammatical. So F%&ing stupid. Anyway, it's perfectly normal that you as a non-native speaker would have learned the "correct" (ie older but still considered standard) way, even though it sounded slightly off to my native speaking ears. These are some of the difficulties and controversies of learning and teaching English. Any language is a moving target, and there's always a tension between teaching a standard register vs the way people actually talk, and textbooks and educators are often behind, sometimes dismally behind. Hope you found that interesting. Personally, I do suggest "came out good," but then if you use that, maybe a bunch of ignoramuses that were taught only outdated textbook English might criticize you, so your really can't ever win.
