[@casusolivas]

You can argue we live in a brave new world prequel too.

[@Matt-zp1jn]

We live in a book like technocratic “A Brave New World” , right now, more or less, as well as a crony capitalistic story book “Animal Farm”, and marxist “1984”. These were extreme examples or warnings of where things could go back then when they were written. Communism was/is a legit fear. However the mystical gnostics have used cultic “secret knowledge societies”, sophistry, kaballah, rosicrucianism,illuminati,freemasonry,hermies, esoteric mystical/magical beliefs, new age occult, post modernism, wokism to usurp the Western’s true Conservatism & Liberalism, into their “higher knowledge” or responsibility towards woke progressive Gnosticism. This sick ideology converts the ignorant, the open minded bleeding heart needing a cause to believe in, the corruptible, the “educated” , and those born into this system with each new generation. Once enough people have been tricked into their word definition magic, these occultic gnostics have grown from 1% of the public voice , into a 51% + majority of the voice (or pretend to at least). They then have turned the Western culture away from individual freedoms towards the communist socialist cultural marxist collective and then can force the power of their beliefs on everyone, including the science/reason based believer, and the faith-religion/trust based believer. James Lindsay is right when he says the conservatives and liberals need to shake hands and join together to fight the toxic Gnostic Occultism, that is born out of Christian hate, hate of the Scientific method/Reason, a love of mystical kabbalah, sophistry, esoteric magick, cultural relativism, Feminism (chaotic sympathy for the collective), marxism etc. The future voting power of the West will heavily slant their voices towards the power & control over human freedoms, life, liberty, personal property, etc , if we don’t take action against this insidious marxist secret higher knowledge of occultic Gnosticism. Don’t be WOKE, You need to WAKE UP and SEE what is happening right under your nose, and infecting your childrens minds.

[@Atamastra]

I'm of a very similar sentiment. And ill be honest, I find a lot of value and interest in gnosticism, but I despise the critical pedagogy and wokeness with white-hot fury. The ocean of this subject is now lapping at my door, and im caught in a moment of crucial consideration, challenging my own belief system. I don't want to buy it, but his conclusion is so well referenced and formatted that im sure he is right over the target.

[@scythermantis]

Lindsay is a bit of a hack and there are obvious vested financial interests backing the "Conservative" side just as there is the "Liberal" one, as well a disingenuous nature to someone who is very secular like James sort of pretending to approve of the specific Religion of Christianity in order to garner support. That being said, he of course touches on some very real concerns. I WOULD HUMBLY SUGGEST that you go instead to Paul Vanderklay, John Vervaeke, and Jonathan Pageau (Jordan Peterson is too politicised recently so I would avoid him) and as for more ancient/philosophical topics, if you haven't already seen Michael Sugrue and Darren Staloff are having conversations again recently (they had their famous lectures in the 90's). By the way as for "Athens + Jerusalem" READ KIERKEGAARD or at least watch Sugrue's lectures on him, much less biased, provincial and slanted than this lecture.

[@scythermantis]

And when I listen to Lindsay I obviously am very suspicious as the question is always there WHERE DOES HE GET HIS CANONICAL METHODOLOGY OR METRIC FROM? He clearly has an agenda; why should we presume that he isn't trying to deceive us as well? And why doesn't the Neo-Liberal Capitalist system have every incentive to deceive us? And furthermore why should we listen to an Atheist like Lindsay tell us about 'heresies'??? It's just incoherent. Regardless this lecture is very informative and useful and I do very much feel the way you do, it seems... although in recent times I try on a personal level to be very wary of Gnosticism.

[@zootsoot2006]

@@Atamastra Yeah, conflating Gnosticism, which he seems to also conflate with any kind of mysticism, with wokeism is a very strange tack to take. Gnosticism is about the individual becoming one with the divine, like all mysticism, whereas wokeism denies the importance of the individual and puts all its focus on the social. In other words, they're complete opposite paradigms.

[@Atamastra]

@zoot soot My roommate and I watched this in our own time and had an engrossing 2+ discussion on the subject, as we are both of a similar mindset in our (dare I say it) "spirituality". We came to a tacit conclusion that the idea of mystery schools might be an almost archetypal version of religion, like a seed crystal that builds itself out into cults and then religions/cultures over and over again. Because you could easily see Christianity as a gnostic mystery school that built off of Judaism, and perhaps Judaism was a proto-gnostic offshoot of Zoroastrianism, on and on, back and back. Maybe mystery schools/gnosticism are supposed to be exclusive and clandestine for a reason, but since we are humans, eventually these divine ideals leak out into the culture/society and essentially distort/corrupt them with different shades of mind controlling doctrine. Not because the Ideals are corrupt or bad, just very potent and dangerous when dissociated from the gnostic study (kinda like fire; very useful and powerful, but dangerous when it runs rampant). Does that make any sense?

James really couldn't be doing more, any better in order to alert us of what's coming our way, as based on his prophetic clarity that comes from a searing intellect and a capacity to the the biggest themes . And explain them clearly and honestly to the rest of us. A cultural titan ,and any religious thinker has GOT to synthesise his rationality and dispassionate insights with a wildly radical and countercultural heart ,with courage and the Bible of Jesus and the Jews. James has outgrown his fellow heretics from academia , due mainly to his output and multidisciplinary scope. He is far more of a cultural threat to evil than just about anybody, certainly Peterson. God loves this guy, the cultural James Lovelock to me!

[@dieselphiend]

This man has a better understanding of all of this than anyone else I have ever listened to. Absolutism is probably the most dangerous mental state we can be in. It completely ignores nuance. Lower vibrational duality is the subjective prison of the mind (Plato's Cave). In order to be a perfect (human) person, you must have an objective understanding of your own pitiful subjectivity. Look at 'The Pillars of Jachin and Boaz'. They are the pillars of subjectivity. It's left versus right, up vs down, here vs there, now vs then, him vs her, black vs white, right vs wrong, democrat vs republican, capitalist vs communist, east vs west, 'good' vs 'evil'. Everything, including space and time, are relative to the observer. 'The truth' isn't as complicated as people think it is. In fact, it's right in front of you if you simply find a way to raise your vibrational awareness. 'Happiness' is just a word, and at face value it implies unhappiness. That which you believe in, is that which you lose. You lose 'domain' by simply believing in it. You lose the power of discernment when you subscribe to it. We're up against intense paradoxes. We're not comfortable with being hypocritical but we should be. We're a living paradox- we live because other things die. There's no way around this other than self destruction. Duality destroys linearity. It compartmentalizes reality, and boxes everything into categories, measurements, labels.. objects, and ideas, which all become symbols of something else. Representations of liberation, or destruction.

One addendum: biblical faith has further definition than Heb 11:1- see Romans 10:17 “Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.” Faith IS believing the Words of God, and expecting them to accomplish what they claim. As such, both these definitions agree on humility and hope.

Hermes in the Bible is also "Nebo". Hislop's book "The Two Babylons" gives many connections of Hermes to Babylon on which these three systems, Scientism, Gnosticism, and Hermeticism, can all be grouped under the umbrella of typological "Babylon"; but you need to read "The Two Babylons" to quickly locate all the connections. After you get those pieces, (there could be more), that belong under the umbrella of "Babylon", the Bible comments on Babylon's future fate such as in Jeremiah 50:9 For, lo, I will raise and cause to come up against Babylon an assembly of great nations from the north country: and they shall set themselves in array against her; from thence she shall be taken: their arrows shall be as of a mighty expert man; none shall return in vain.

And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for they are a rebellious house) yet shall know that there hath been a prophet among them. And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briars and thorns be with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, not be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.

Amos 3:1-2 O Israel, return unto the Lord thy God; for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity. Hosea 14:1 The Lord hath been sore displeased with your fathers. Zechariah 1:2 ​ But thou hast utterly rejected us; thou art very wroth against us. Lamentations 5:22 Howbeit thou art just in all that is brought upon us; for thou hast done right, but we have done wickedly. Nehemiah 9:33

I agree with a lot of the posits of Lindsay. However, "classical liberalism" is a concept that always sounds great in theory but as we have seen, has progressed and ended in woke leftism and purposeful destruction and a divisive mentality that is irrational and devoid of reason. Classical liberalism is always the seed that in full bloom becomes communism and the never reached utopian paradise on earth. Instead, liberalism is rife with false promises and lies like all paternalistic ideologies that make humans dependent on the state. Lindsay confuses the concepts of liberty and independence, and individual freedoms and responsibilities with liberalism which is devoid of reason and appeals to the covetous nature of humans. Classical liberalism is always the seed that in full bloom becomes communism and the never reached false promises and lies of paternalistic and authoritarian regimes.

I wonder if Mr Lindsey considers Jordan Peterson's evolutionary psychological/Jungian approach to Scripture as gnosis and classify him as a wizard?

[@priapulida]

I think he considers Peterson's work or approach as one of those examples where you have to carefully separate. I remember him saying Jung is woo-woo or whatever. The evoPsych on religion has solid theory and findings though, idk where he stands on that. He's not anti-religion he's anti-fundamentalist/-totalitarian

[@themanontheinside]

@@priapulida perhaps...and although I agree Peterson's points and claims are well backed up, however it's still very much apocryphal and heretic stuff going by what Lindsey says in this talk and (using the terms he applies). I would love to hear it from the man himself anyways,

[@scythermantis]

This is a great point that undermines a lot of the core synthesis of this new "Conservative" movement and few are willing to take a step back and look at it critically (because somehow that word "critical" is a "dog whistle" for Marxism)

[@themanontheinside]

@@scythermantis I don't think it's a dog whistle for Marxism although I understand how it can seem that way for some. The way I see it is Western culture, because of Christian ideas and because it has reached a point so elevated, to be cultured is to critique one's own culture. We now look down upon a person or people who are too proud as they have not considered the downsides of their culture or considered how another culture might bring something to his own that is better. It's about not seeing the log in one's eye and only seeing the splinter in others. You get me? The issue now arises where this "humility" or pride in not being proud has been identified as a weapon wielded by those who wish to subvert the culture, namely Marxists, more rightly those who wish to deconstruct the individual (free will) and make it subserviant to group needs and ends. This isn't just the woke, but a plethora of groups ranging from outright Communist states to Islam. The new Conservative movement see this and know how it ends, totalitarianism so there is only one way to play it lest the culture dies, nativism, patriotism, christian theology and a few monarchy. All of that requires actually conserving and not progressing. Orthodoxy versus heterodoxy.

[@TheMindofRa]

Jung could be classified as a wizard if he considers alchemists wizards. Jung was an alchemist of sorts after all. I mean look at Jung's idea of anima and animus. His idea of shadow integration. The polar duality of conscious and subconscious of ego and shadow. ALL of these concepts are hermetic principles.

The mystery religions date back BEYOND Alexandra …. All the way back to Nimrod in Babylon

[@danielhayes4782]

Even further… this is from The Book of Jubilees, one generation from Noah’s sons. … and he called his name Kâinâm. And the son grew, and his father taught him writing, and he went to seek for himself a place where he might seize for himself a city. And he found a writing which former (generations) had carved on the rock, and he read what was thereon, and he transcribed it and sinned owing to it; for it contained the teaching of the Watchers in accordance with which they used to observe the omens of the sun and moon and stars in all the signs of heaven. And he wrote it down and said nothing regarding it; for he was afraid to speak to Noah about it lest he should be angry with him on account of it.

[@dctalkst0r0th13]

Yes, that is the root! But not an organized / man-run practice … that came from The cities of Nimrod. Are you a practicing Guard/Keeper of YHWH’s instructions?

[@danielhayes4782]

I’m just somebody that is trying to find the bedrock of truth. I think the modern church is born out of two millennia of syncretism, and ultimately still had its roots in the hermetic. I’m trying to untangle the messy rats nest of history to understand YHWHs ways. I believe a much more literal reading of scripture as well as broadening what’s considered canonical (Jubilees, Enoch, 2nd Esdras, and more… every single book in our Bible was discovered there with the exception of Esther, which is Persian mythology, I think). I believe John the Baptist (who was living in the wilderness, in Bethabara, modern day Qumran) was actually leading the exiled Zadokite priesthood, to whom he was the rightful High Priest. In 165bc, the rightful priesthood was usurped by Hasmoneans, who have Samaritan roots, under the guise of the “Hasmonean Revolt”. That’s when the rapid syncretism started and corrupted the temple worship, which Yahusha criticized. So, based on my studies, that’s where I am. I wouldn’t consider myself a guardian of anything, more than someone seeking Him. It’s interesting hearing Lindsay veer into some of these paths of discovery of the truth. I know to most, this sounds crazy, but there are so many layers to obfuscate, the only way to get down to it, is getting very deep into the weeds on a lot of things. Also, The God Culture has a lot of great teachings. I’m still just trying to figure it out lol.

[@dctalkst0r0th13]

@@danielhayes4782 I agree with everything that you said! Even that the “G-d Culture” has many good teachings (I mostly disagree with about 30% and adamantly disagree with about 5% of his stuff) … Guarding is in the aspect of my own behavior. Everyone is individually responsible for what they say and do … so not guarding in context of being responsible for the safety of others like a Marine, but guarding myself from transgressions of the Torah (instructions of YHWH - 1Jn3:4)

[@Alacrates]

C.S.Lewis, the author of Mere Christianity, described himself as a Christian platonist.

[@timeless9you]

Would love to see Lindsey do a deep dive on Lewis. Noticing everyone Lewis points out in "Abolition Of Man" were not random academics, but all members of the Bloomsbury Group who were in Lewis's academic and local community during his life. Might Lewis's "Inklings" have been a push back to that group? One of their leaders bragged they would destroy Western Civilization through literature. Another bragged that while being seen as criminals, in the future they would be seen as pilgrims. After reading Zygmund Dobbs' "Keynes At Harvard", one notable Bloomsbury member, John Maynard Keynes, might have been something other than the economist Hogwartz, oops I mean Academia, served him up as.

[@gilgamesh2832]

The majority of the Church fathers studied Plato, and undeniably influenced by him. Pointing to Lewis means nothing.

[@maintaint3003]

Tolkien was super religious also. His One Ring is the opposite of the christian cross in form, utility and meaning.

[@timeless9you]

@@gilgamesh2832 Can you tell me which of these church fathers were not "Roman"? If Lewis was the only one ratting out the cult that all these dupes think the researchers are just "imagining", how else do those with ears that hear and eyes that see, outside of having the misfortune of bumping into them accidently, find out the strange goings on is organized and intentional? How do we find out outside of Lewis; and so many years later James Lindsay?

[@timeless9you]

@@maintaint3003 If one takes a deep dive into the archetype of "wise men", part of God's design, finding they have been around since the beginning up to now, my question would be this; Were Lewis and Tolkien archetypal "wise men" who were aware of the mysteries and shared what they could in the the form of fiction, to send a message to other "wise men", or to those with eyes that could see and ears that could hear?

The psychological effects of doing philosophy are 100% real. I don't believe in spiritual stuff like many Christians, for me those represent the psychological process Ive experienced first hand.
