Ep. 3 - Awakening from the Meaning Crisis - Continuous Cosmos and Modern World Grammar

[@tdottim]

This is the best use of internet technology ever. Thank you for this series.

[@leeroyescu]

No, the best use of internet technology would have been if this information was presented as an exocortex, a navigable knowledge graph others can use fluently. It's still splendid, presenting through video is quick and direct, gets the job done, gets the point across. We hear it, we understand, we review sections, but how much do we actually remember long-term? How much do we use and live with? Too little. It's not the right form for that. This stuff should be like a semantic wiki of flashcards, where you can ask a question of the oracle and dive into a topic from any end, get a spatial awareness of where it fits in, what it's connected to, how central or peripheral it is, supporting arguments, problems and so on. But authoring something like that is much harder.

[@babajubal274]

I was attending a retreat in Ivory Rock Australia held by my teacher Prem Rawat. I met a man who offered to help me with my Bags I asked him where he was from. He spoke English with an accent. He said to me, brother the day has come we no longer need to ask where Each other come from . We are from the same source. then he said I was born in Greece. In that moment, I realized a transcendent cosmic connection with the universal essence of life .Your lectures are providing clarity for those in search of wisdom. Know Thy Self

You can cause it to go to resolution but you can also cause it to go off course." This to me is why we should always be in the right moral position. Absolutely enlightening lecture, John. Thank you.

Excellent video. I watched this episode 2 times. First time just watched through and realized how many different ideas are discussed. Then re watched, took notes, stopped at important points. I've tried to digest all ideas, discuss it with myself and argue with it. It took me quite lot of time. I've googled lot of stuff. Because I could not easily believe to what I've heard. I am astonishingly impressed. Also, this series are good advertisement for books for sure. I am convinced to buy all of that books. I read one from first episode and I am really want to read all of them.

@@ramdanebenbouabdellah6597 The Awakening from Meaning Crisis series are really good source for materials related problems of the cognitive science and I re-watch some of the videos time to time. Also, I have read the most of the books presented in the series and found books with opposing ideas. I do like ideas of John Vervaeke and he is definitely a wise man and he makes a lot of good points. However, to truly grasp the topic, it is important to see other ideas too. For example, I think the works of the Daniel Dennett are good contrast to what is presented in this channel. Nevertheless, these series had a powerful influence to me and the way I view the life. Must watch.

[@aydnofastro-action1788]

If the Bronze Age gave us endless cycles, and the Axial Age gave us a lienear storyline, the combination of these two would be a Spiral, which is an accurate depiction of actual planetary motion, as the solar system is in motion around the galaxy etc. And as the great Humanist Astrologer, Dane Rhdyar said, a repeating cycle is the same “only in its structure but not its contents.” The contents would be subject to our free will, even as we are consciously aware of the cyclical nature of time. This lecture has given me the key. Astrology must be viewed as a pre-axial age technology. Later It was integrated with and in some ways contaminated with Platonic and Neoplatonic elements. In the modern west at least, it has been merged with an axial participatory approach. And this then means that it “covers all the bases.” It is a prime example of the “continuous cosmos”, and as you say, science is bringing us back to this truth. On another point, This Reconciliation this great tension is exactly what Neitszche was talking about at the beginning of Beyond Good and Evil when he spoke of the pulling back of a “great bow of tension” in the European mind. And how we “might have the strength and, who knows, even the goal to aim at.”....

[@wayneerichenry290]

I love this guy…. He has helped lead to life changing insight for me and my future. I have analyzed the past and see how my future can be better a little more clearly becaue of this series. I listened to the pod cast twice, contemplated going going on to episode 4-or to press pause and try to compartmentalize my thoughts about how I should live my life in the future. How does my past help reduce the existential crisis I live everyday? I realize this is all encompassing of my anxiety These are thoughts I need to put together, to share with people going through an identity crisis. I have contemplated the cosmos since I was 18, when I left to live in another country and started working in merchant ships-I traveled all of my life, and have spent thousands of nights staring at the stars-watching us move within. I took celestial navigation and that is what helped shape my view of the world-everyone is delusional but the enlightened. I realized there was cosmos indeed, and it so very beautiful. Thank you John for providing a Spot-on discourse for people like me. I hope my anxiety does not capsize this vessel once again. I have always thought metaphorically, and I noticed most peopl in my relationship do not understand the metaphors. I feel the jnticmacy I need to be set free when I can speak metaphorically with another human being, leaving another longing for more knowledge. Which was interesting how John spoke of the knowledge-sex context of ancestral past. Metaphorical today-but certainly the truth. Metaphors alone are life transforming! I can’t wait to here from John about Fasting… and the affect it had on the enlightenment and the psyche. # sea-psyc # psycho-sailor # psychosailor86 That’s me! Wayne E. Henry.

[@marganaapsinthia]

Dear professor Vervaeke, thank you. I've been thinking along these lines for years. I believe my search for meaning prompted me to study Indology, which further pushed me into this line of thinking. In the past few years I've been acutely aware of the division between the scientific worldview and the meaningful, mythic worldview both in our present-day culture and within my own mind. When I first realised how similar science and organised religion are in that they both seek to be a sole authority of truth, I was shocked, but that was in many ways a deeply awakening experience. Since then, I'd say the crises I go through every now and then arise when I begin to doubt my own realisations - simply because noone around me thinks that way. I suppose in my case the transformation is happening slowly, so I can perceive the change taking place, observe how the systems clash within my own mind. As much as I appreciate the process and would not give it up for anything in the world, sometimes it feels like many small deaths happening one after another. Then, the feeling of isolation is really hard to endure. To hear you articulate all this in such a clear, calm, rational and informative manner helps to lessen that. Just knowing that I'm not alone in this keeps me going.

47:45 John claims that the Greeks invented mathematics, specifically geometry. This is quite a stretch. Even without the historical record of Pythagoras having received his education in Egypt, we'd have the art and architecture of that civilization as monuments to their deep understanding of geometry. I know John's point is that the Greeks brought mathematics to a new stage metacognitively, which is probably true, but this is an important point not to get wrong about human history.

Yeah there was actually a lot going on before the Greeks. Egypt had already found out what would eventually become the Pythagoras theorem, Mesopotamia had developed some early algebra before the Greeks, India too... The difference is that the Greeks centered their worldview on that, in a way, by giving so much importance to abstract thought.

[@jeffd7976]

The only critique I have on this is modern works on contributions of Egypt, starting with the named Greeks that went there to study and learn much of that they knew. Though a perrenialist, Dr. Algis Uzdavinys (in the vein of Hadot) argues powerfully regarding the similarities between Egyptian and Hindu thought, and it's impact on Greek culture. Likewise, a recent anthology "Universe and the Self in Early Indian and Greek Thought" edited by R Seaford collects academic works in this vein as well. I think you could safely push these revolutions in thought back to 400BCE-ish at the latest regarding the major Greeks and a bit further in the cases of India and Egypt. Other than that, brilliant lecture!

[@gavinbartlett4475]

I am a recent arrival at this temple of knowledge and am enthralled and uplifted by the on-going experience. While watching this episode, the thought occurred to me that we do use sexual intercourse and its consequences as metaphors for cognizance, cognitive processes and comprehension beyond the much misunderstood metaphor of Adam 'knowing' his wife. We do so in everyday thinking and conversation, oblivious to the Biblical origin of such ideas, and many others. Such metaphors are ubiquitous in both Biblical and everyday discourse. We talk about biological and mental conception as totally unrelated issues, yet the similarities between biological conception, its outcomes on one hand and mental conception (often conflated with perception) and its possible outcomes on the other. We conceive an idea, which in the vast majority of cases leads to nothing, metaphorically a misconception, or a miscarriage. The word 'intercourse' as meaningful conversation pre-dates its use for biological sexual union, as it originally referred to the deeper notion of interpersonal exchanges of the contents of consciousness between two or more individuals. That notion was transferred to our understanding of the process of copulation, now gentily referred to as sexual intercourse, precisely because of their startling parallels in metaphorical terms. Lakoff and Johnsen's "Metaphors We Live By' is a book which fell into my lap as a lifelong student of metaphors like metaphorical 'manna from heaven."

[@hanskloss7726]

It was again a very interesting lecture. I think I will have to revisit it. I actually do experience universe as cosmos. In certain way of course and only at certain times. When my understanding of reality increases (usually only temporarily) I feel or see the beauty of it all. "All" is of course a violent exaggeration but it goes the right way. What I mean is - every time I deal with some mathematics or modern physics (which one may argue is an application or a form of mathematics) I have this feeling of "cosmos". It is of course an ilusion but then a better one that the delusion or madness of the masses that I see when I tune to the newschannel. When I thought of it recently (and many times before) I found part of the reason the experience is so overwhelming is that I sense connection with basic reality, I think the wise call it transcendence. It is of course an illusion and it goes away, although for my little self it is as real as it can be at the time. Incidentally I have come to see "The Man that Knew Infinity" recently. Doing some search on life of Ramanujan I found this sentence (it is also in the film): ""An equation for me has no meaning, unless it expresses a thought of God." It is indeed that some of us put gods there and build a religion around it, some other call it transcendence and use it as a tool for further developing themselves. It seems indeed that we all have an idea that covers with what Ramanujan experienced even if we all have different things that may bring us to it. Possibly is dealt with in later lectures but that is still in front of me. Once we in the West dispensed with religion and God we found ourselves restless and exposed to parasitic ideas like the ones that drive modern day radicals in high up places. They all strive to make the world for themselves with masses given idea of a paradise on earth. Where this usually goes is to the mountains of corpses. This time it is not the West that has remained sane. We see if the rest will throw us a rope as the West did to Soviet block back then. By rope I mean here ideas to which we were to strive. Judging on the role of catholic church in fall of communism in Europe and its fall in the West I'd say we are for a rough ride with current cultural revolution. Let us see where that brings us, we do not seem to have another choice, do we. The panic and apparent lack of reason and moral in these currents of modern culture makes me really worried about times to come. But maybe this is also part of panic that is common to all these days?
