Ty. So timely. Lewis was SO ahead of his time.

You ever read his essay on “Bulverism”?

I see a lot of parallels between what he talks about and the situation with artificial intelligence, especially the singularity. An ominous warning. Lewis was truly ahead of his time.

Got recommended this book a few days ago, but I'm narcoleptic, so reading is pretty difficult these days. Thanks for the upload.

Read his autobiography! When he Finds a good friend, a kindred spirit, in childhood- it is sublime.

[@Steven-rp8zo]

Thanks, this is excellent content. CS Lewis should be mandatory for all school age kids.

[@RHatcherMD]

Are you joking? or did you seriously leave that as a comment under an audiobook of a Christian apologist complaining about the indoctrination of school children?

[@transatlanticsilkcottonfabrics]

Haha I forgot how much I liked reading this after finding it on my grandfathers bookshelf. Thank you for sharing this. They don’t make them like they used to.

[@Revion91]

This comment is rather ironic because the phrase "They don't make them like they used to" is often reserved for trivial and typically unimportant things that are easily replaced or reproduced. Things like tires, clothes or food items. This short book is a masterpiece. It's life changing. You essentially just did what Lewis cautioned us against in the first chapter, you called the waterfall "pretty" with this comment.

[@user-gv6xn9cs3b]

Fascinating first page! Aldous Huxley (Who wrote Doors of Perception) proposed handing out halucinagens in church services so that the people who couldn't Feel the glory, sublimity, the awe and love, inherant in the service, Would experience the divine! We are meant to be brought to heaven in the Mass, and he thought our senses could be stimulated, our minds, kindled, -to do so! (But of course that would only confirm to the text-book writer that there is no sublime, only men with feelings.)

Can you do a summary this one day. I read the great divorce like four times but this one is so hard to understand Hey keep doing what you're doing brother little by little piece by piece advancing God's Kingdom. Your a very deep thinker it's refreshing see other people like that.

[@freeindeed08]

Absolutely, I was planning on doing one on it now that I read it 3 times. I think I have a good grasp of it now. Thanks for the kind words brother. I am getting back into the KZbin grind now that life is settling down a bit.

The abolition of man was also discussed at the podcast: classical stuff you should know. Starting at episode 53, very interesting when you've read the book.

[@RobMonty248]

An old bible, i ran across in Corinthians.. Meditate on the word of God and that section mentioned meditation over 10 times as well. So, (those who sat in darkness had a great light wash upon them) this is meditation, when one does meditation right, you will start to see lights with your eyes closed or, if you mediate in a room that is completely dark, you will even see light with eyes open. Darkness shuts down the optical nerve in the eye and allows the pineal gland to work better. If thy eye be single.... its all in the bible... good luck. Oh, i forgot to say, the more meditation one does, they more they understand with out reading a thing, because the connection to God becomes very apparent. If you do it, you just cant deny the connection and this is how we find our for real, God is real.

I have not read it but it looks interesting. Maybe I'll give it a look. I've heard the great divorce is really good and I might read that next. Mere Christianity is said to be one of Lewis's best works. For Kierkegaard, I would always recommend Either/or and the sickness unto death.

Is "tao" here in this book "reason"?

[@freeindeed08]

Not necessarily. It refers to “the way” which is essentially the core truths that every human have lived by for a very long time. There are minor differences and small developments of “the way” that people have lived by but the way has generally remained throughout time.

The Abolition of Man 👞 Men without chests, the two authors who 📤 sent me a book GuyUs and Titius, one called water fall sublime, only saying something of our own feelings, even on their own view, sublime, yet the emotions are the quaralative, I have humbled feeling, I have contempt able feelings, a mere inadvertance. All such statements are unimportant. The pupils left ⬅️ to do the work no respectors of value. Their words are they appear to be saying something important. All values subjective and trivial, they are dealing with a boy, ten years hence, a controversy.

[@sonjachastain5619]

Secondly that all statements are unimportant, the pupils are due for themselves, I am not concerned what they desire, we appear to be saying something really important, only, all values are artificial, one side controversy, silly advertising on a cruise Drake of Devon, glowing colors awe and pleasure GuyUs and Titius , man is little to be envied, words worth antiquary, had been a lesson worth teaching some blood and sap, Guyus and Titius, talents inferior to GuyUs and Titius, more healthy cuz London been around a long time.
