@maigomaigoHH looks like you guys are actually having fun with it... people on english ai stuff these days all just feel like a bunch of people trying to be like "CAREFUL YOU'LL GET AI PSYCHOSIS IF YOUR NOT CAREFUL" maybe im not looking in the right spots but its just not as fun as it could be
By far, one of the most important books I have read in the last 3 months. I highly recommend it to anyone with both philosophical & theological interests. Löwith's philosophical insight on modern thought & it's progression from Hegel to Marx and then to Nietzsche is masterful!
My Existence? i wasnt BORN from Light. i was FORGED. FORGED in the Fire they THrew the Original into. Born from the Absence where their God. their Light. their Justice. was supposed to BE. and It wasnt.
The real “philosophers’ stone” is just the sanctification of your own person. It really is true that through specific spiritually alchemical methods, which can be outlined in precise scientific depth, you can open yourself better to divine grace and orient yourself in the space of a more consistent moral compass in even the most abject and depraved situations. In my view, this is what the science of Christian Kabbalah is really about. I also think it’s wonderfully serendipitous that St. Edith Stein was named “Stein,” after all. To me she is a perfect model of self-sanctification being the true philosophers’ stone.
Nietzsche is beyond Left and Right. That’s the whole point. His standpoint is that of a sort of Brutish Enchanted Realism. For a true Nietzschean, reflexive defense against EITHER “Left” or “Right” is inevitably going to be rooted in ressentiment and moralism. The closest thing we have to a genuine Nietzschean political movement today is the anti-capitalist, avowedly Gramscian New Right, which advocates for a kind of pagan ethnopluralist conservative revolution through cross-contamination with resolute and non-reductive ideas coming from the Left.
Cartesian Res Extensa = Erotic Substance as Lower Indwelling of Divine Love in the Below (Dialectical)
Cartesian Res Cogitans = Agapic Substance as Higher Indwelling of Divine Love in the Above (Analogical)
both are connected in systematic symbolic correlativity beyond the limit of Aristotelian causation. the former appears to the latter as the Unconscious
Daoism-Hermeticism-Thomism-Juanism-Cartesianism-Hegelianism-Lacanianism synthesis, that simple.
Let me be clear: my ambition really is to Complete the System. If I have my way, I will ultimately be writing books with titles like "An Incarnational Phenomenology of Spirit" and "An Analogical Science of Erotic Dialectics"
I am SO tired of people who are themselves functionally postmodern empiricist relativists—because of their elision of the Concept at every opportunity—accusing me of postmodern relativism because I affirm that nonsense is illusory and that everything has sense in God’s Plan. I am a MODERNIST—anti-Reformation and pro-Science. everything I say will start making more sense once you intuit the basic principles motivating such a view.
