..was Blake crazed by realizing that he was helplessly in an endlessly twisting and contorting dimension of alternating heaven and hell scenarios that can only be defined and witnessed as an unpredictable,demented mess of mayhem and chaos?

[@sojefferson1]

I know late..but quite the contrary. Jerusalem is the poem of life. It's holy spiritual. Greatest poem ever written. Those twisting and conforming dimensions is the war inside of you! He's actually saying you are the source of all things.

Its funny how this is at the base of so much media nowadays. Its almost as if this is part of the future of humanity.

[@sojefferson1]

To understand Blake you have feel after it. Intellectually it will make no sense. If you relax, and just take the information in without analyzing the truth of the poem will gradually start to appear.

[@sojefferson1]

I'll give you a hint: when you finally start and I do mean start to understand, you will experience a strange sensation.. anxiety

interesting this relates to my occult studies.

Such a magnificent poem - but I must admit I disagree with the feelings of most commentators who love the reading presented here. To me it is too artificially emotional, trying too hard to make a difficult text approachable - and in the process losing the MUSIC I hear in Blake’s text, and which just needs to be left alone to resonate and in my opinion is being destroyed by “over-acting”. It’s a matter of taste of course, but I hear it very very differently - more exalted, more incantatory, more hymnic, more sung, less acted. Ah, imagine it read by Dylan Thomas!

[@ironylulz]

I def see how this is true for someone already familiar with Blake's work, maybe the act of dramatization (in this prayerful way) doesn't lend to the objective/rational tune of the poem. Stylization can be tedious to sift through, especially with places and numbers. I personally haven't heard this poem before, it's my first time hearing it. The dramatization helped me make out the different personalities and motives hidden between the intertwining voices of the specters and sub-specters, etc. It made it easier to understand the poem through audio, I'm not an audiobook person, I'd be dulled with the lack of drama lol. Cheers!

Tim Bruce should redo all the other Blake readings on this channel, the female ones are uniformly terrible.
