Me? Simple Man. Me like lore. Me dislike tier list. Me-a-really like that one video about the "law alignment" problem even if your sicking law bias glows throughout it. So woah you go big guy!

[@100Servings]

You want a real deep dive? In Devil Summoner, there's a demon called Orgone Ghost. Orgone energy is an insane theory from Wilhelm Reich in the 1930s that people still believe in today. You can easily search diagrams and guides on building orgone energy accumulators, and they're all crazy. Sounds right up your alley! Edit: I haven't looked into orgone energy in over a decade. I had no idea it had the interest that it does these days! Mr. Tachyon has some startling research on it. Worth a look, but maybe don't go too deep on this one...🙃

[@projectmessiah]

Philemon was such an interesting character. He really got cut short by not appearing post p2. Just in case anyone mentions it I do know about the butterfly btw.

[@aokyoutsuki7744]

Butterfly feels like a checkmark to appease the longtime fans than actually acknowledging his existence post p2

[@Barquevious_Jackson]

I got the vibe that Philemon and Nyarlathotep were both primordial forces that wouldn't return unless the other one did. So if he made a come back that'd be pretty bad. My favorite fan theory says that the events of each game are their moves against one another in a cosmic battle for the heart, soul, and mind of the people.

[@projectmessiah]

@@Barquevious_Jackson Well its been a while since I last played but Philemon was in P1 right? Nylarlethotep had nothing to do with the P1 plot iirc.

[@Barquevious_Jackson]

@@firebeam24 that’s probably because the dark hour was man made, not created by a god.

[@Redhollow]

@@alexisbaz8746 Yes that is correct, you can't have one without the other in Jungian psychology. Personas in the game are kind of what happens once the Shadow and Persona achieve some sort of perfect harmony. That said, later Persona games tend to emphasize people's willpower. If you don't have the strength of character to dominate your Self, the will and determination to face death/survive, or a rebellious spirit, you won't really find yourself manifesting the power. It somewhat makes sense as based on the original theory, Archetypes rise from the Collective Unconscious and take shape based on the environment within the Personal Unconscious. And not everyone is mentally capable or willing to square up with a demon, lol.

[@alexanderchon9058]

In the name of YHVH I really want Philemon to be a SMT Demon, a neutral good spirit type demon that guides the souls to be the better versions of themselves.

Can't be. Philemon is the reason the majority of demons exist. You can't control like you control him a demon/Persona. No one can.

[@tinybee7780]

Seeing the glowing butterfly fluttering around the characters of the Persona games always give me this hopeful feeling that even in his diminished state, Philemon is always watching over them. I find it interesting that despite having very different origins for Philemon and Nyarlathotep, Atlus decided to pit both Jung and Lovecraft's creations against each other - each becoming representations of the collective unconscious, trapped in a never ending cycle to see which ultimately one comes out top: humanity's destructive potential or the capacity to find a higher purpose.

[@stoodmuffinpersonal3144]

not everything he smoked was good. Had some bad takes on race stuff. But, outside of that? Yeah

[@dragoneye6229]

While Philemon might not appear beyond the three games he is in you can see some of his influence. For example the phrase "I am you, you are me.", is in every persona game one way or another. I personally think that if they ever need a dream guide again for any game he'll make an appearance. I guess it depends on the setting or theme of the game. The irony though is that he almost fits better for SMT than Persona. The connection to Persona is quite obvious but if we think about SMT and how it's actually the world we live in that's decimated and horrible to live in, wouldn't that take a toll on ones psyche? Enter Philemon whenever you rest. If there was ever a need for a guide it would be in a post apocalypse where the devil and god are real and want you and your whole species subservient or dead.

Thanks so much Tony for this video! I had no idea the origins of Philemon were Christian. It was the mythology and the eternal battle between Philemon and Nyarlathotep that drew me to the Persona and then SMT series. It makes a lot more sense why he's a "guide" while the other is one who can personally intervene in human affairs.

Much of Paul's writing was incredibly counter cultural at the time, and even challenges us today.

While I honestly prefer Stephen as the "Wise and powerful character who gives the main characters their powers" archetype, I think Philemon is also pretty cool. It's kinda sad that he doesn't have the same role as Stephen does in Mainline SMT though, it would be nice to see him pop up more or even become an extra superboss like Stephen does in SMT 4's DLC, I know that Philemon does have a boss fight in Persona 2 but from what I know, his boss fight isn't as hard (or cool imo) as Stephen's.

"it makes sense why Igor and the Velvet Room attendants speak of him with such reverance" well, I mean, he did create most of them Velvet Room included, Igor is a doll given life by him, the attendants are essentially fragments of him being, as I understand, and explained by the creators, the only exception to this rule of all inhabitants of the Velvet Room been created by Philemon are Nameless and Diva, as they are originally neutral forces themselves that decided to support Philemon, thus to signify the safety of the Velvet Room to the MC, play and sing the "Aria of the Soul" (yes, this means that the Aria of the Soul isnt just a song in game, but something the characters actually listen to)

One must say, Jung was deeply flawed in his analysis of other religions, mythos, and even western ones. For instance, his sources for alchemy were mainly based on the theosophists, who most have not read actual alchemy books and imposed their own meaning, trying to portray alchemy as a mostly psychological field. Actual medieval european alchemy was very, very pratical, and most books include recipes on dyes, gun powder, metals, gold paint, etc, while also talking alot about God and Jesus and the importance of faith, something that the Theosophists and Jung himself seemed to have either ignored or were not aware of due to poor/bad historiography. A lot of things in smt, 18th century mysticism, new age, etc, are the result of literal victorian era bad historiography (like vikings with horns, easter coming from ishtar while it actually came from oaster, etc).

You know, the premise that leads Jung to the notion of "Colective Unconscious" could connect pretty well with Paul's Areopagus Speech. On this one, the Apostle takes advantage of the story of the "Altar to the Unknown God" to claim God has also revealed Himself to the gentiles, even if they were somewhat ignorant of Him (hence "Unknown God"). He then announces that the fulfilment of God's revelation was in Jesus and His Death and Ressurection, which gets him mocked by the locals, but still awakens interests of some.
