    The fact that I recently experienced numerous synchronous events that ultimately led me to now being able understand this on such a deep level is just… wow. Thank you 🙏 💙

    Back in 1987 after a car accident I was recuperating from surgery in a Denver hospital with nothing to do but watch bad tv and thumb through old National Geographic magazines. One issue had two articles of interest: the cave art of Lascaux, and ancient Greek architecture. I read the latter first, wherein there was a drawing depicting the front of the Parthenon and describing how the ancient Athenians had discovered 'the golden mean' as the most aesthetically pleasing proportionality to the human eye, thus using it nearly anywhere they built anything. It is thus found so in Nature. Later that day while delving into the Lascaux article they presented a photo of a stag. And there in a corner of the stone wall at Lascaux was what looked like a Golden Rectangle. Within a day (and thanks to a very charming young British nurse) I was able to get a compass and protractor and druggist's ruler and measure both pictures and sure enough! The rectangle on the wall at Lascaux, which predates the Greek discovery by thousands of years, represented an accurate prehistoric depiction of the mathematically precise Golden Mean--and likewise in an 'artistic setting', so to speak.... The notion that a geometric object only observable subliminally in nature could find something resembling an epistemological yet unsymbolic basis as an archetype of the collective unconscious, across vast stretches of time and place, and that I would find evidence of it from unrelated articles in the same publication, was a startling experience.

    I use to be an atheist. I actually got put on my path by studying Tesla, and hearing what he has said in interviews. Which lit my natural curiosity. The the further down my path I went, the more doors opened. Then things started to chain together in my mind. I've had a few times in my life where I gain perspective and see things in a whole new way. You are almost embarrassed of your previous perspective., and then you understand why mystics only taught certain people. Some will can never see things the way you do until they can understand your perspective. Is that a tiny bit of enlightenment? I don't know. I do know that this shift has opened my mind to things I never considered before, and I feel like I don't have such a big hole in me anymore. Which I take that as my new passion of studying isn't a waste of time.
  • Holy shit……. You just reminded me of a NDE I had that was this exact experience!!!!!!!! I don’t remember dying or leaving or turning off. I do recall this experience tho. When i died. I was completely gone. I had no idea of Me or I or other. I just was! It felt like eons passed. I was a beacon of light mass pulsing through the galaxy alone. I recall gathering materia as i pulsed and grew into a bigger light. Slowly awareness became available. I had a “memory” in there of “my brother” being another “star” in the galaxy. Then my “self” activated and “my mind” said “you must return” “You are part of a unit and your work is not done” I remember “crying in the ether as a star” ⭐️ then i grew and grew and grew and traveled across the cosmos to return to my “body” I awoke on the floor of my apartment with my glasses on the floor and it seems like i fell and hit my head on the table when i “passed” . Im ok and concussion. 🤕 😂❤🎉 I have many more tales like this. Some are real life encounters with “spirits, or whatever words we want to use here. Shadow people and possibly UT or ET. Never sure 🤷🏻‍♂️ Anyway here i am now ❤ 35 year alchemy, etymology, gematria, quantum, and culture geek here
  • Muzzy here… At 1:07:00 into video they talk of “singularity”. I’ve always hoped of a international “gestalt” when everyone snaps out of their illusions and realizes that we are all connected. I wonder what that would be like and how that would change how people treat each other and the planet. Anyway…. ✌🏻

    I remember talking a philosophy class and thinking constantly that I remembered the stories though I had never learned them before. But it was so familiar to me. It’s the collective conciousness I think being aware of it.
  • @danielbrown7740
    Found your stuff after getting on a Jung tangent and I just want to say thank you for putting these topics into such a humble and easy to digest form. Watching your videos has helped me progress so just wanted to express my gratitude

    This was, for me, an exhilarating of Carl Jung's Plato, moving within his life's writings with Enistein and those others in mathematics and quantum mechanics. The Chariot and the two horses. "Reading Plato through Jung" Professor Paul Blakely, Plato - Tomias alchemy. 1. Why must the 3 become the 4. 2. The Psychology of the Unconscious. 3. The Religion of the East and West. 4. Gerte emerges 1 & 2 5.Jung's Answer to Job, Nietzsche Anti-Christ Poem, Urte Orphis- Gerte Gothe how we speak abouts myths. Not simply but overcoming it most Lacyanian Despair. Jung said himself, "I am Jung. but not Jungian." May we all appreciate C.J. Jung and his work. A man of enormous contributions and insights of those who were able to work with him.(Even though his moments of being frustrated and difficult) With deep appreciation and respect for being able to listen to both of you.
  • Plato explicitly states in the Republic that geometry helps one apprehend the Form of the Good. The key to opening the mystery of the Platonic solids may not be too far away. Amazing things are in the wind.
  • @ArmchairInitiate
    Such a great episode on all accounts from start to finish. I have been actively searching for something, anything that explores and synthesizes the thinking of Jung, Hegel, and Plato, so that was such a welcome finish to the episode.
  • This transmission was a true mind meld for me. Much of what you talked about have been disparate ideas in my mind. This kinda tied everything together. Thanks man, keep’’em coming!

    Probably my favorite mind meld yet! Can’t wait to here the next episode!
  • @kphat954
    Timothy at 34:20+ on point. Knowledge (empirical) often traps one’s mind from the freedom to see what cannot be learned. For me, exploring the knowledge keeps me from dying of boredom but I do believe it is entirely not a prerequisite to knowing.

    A while back now I went through a period of pretty much constant synchronous events. I could be thinking about something totally unrelated to what was happening in the external world but it would always somehow show up as I was thinking it or right after I was done. I honestly thought I was going insane in the clinical sense. It didn't seem benevolent though, it felt very sinister. It happened with such frequency and precision that I couldn't see how it could have been just a product of my own mind, but at the same time what I was experiencing was totally unreal and impossible according to how I knew the world to work. Eventually I couldn't stand it any longer and one day just told it to stop and leave me alone, that whatever it was is it was trying to tell me something I wasn't getting the message. It is. It stopped. It stopped that same day. Reading about the symptom of schizophrenia gave me the closest description to a clinical description, although it wasn't a perfect match it was close, but unless I'm mistaken schizophrenia can't be willed sway, nor can any other types of psychosis. That's another point in the corner of it not being "all in my head". Whatever it was I hope I get a change to ask it what the hell it wanted from me because that was one of the world experiences of my life which itself is filled with other negative experiences.

    This is an astonishly expansive conversation. Many sparks starting mind fires.. thank you 🙏🏼
  • @moonchild47
    I have this!!! I went on that specific Heros Journey. I have been obsessed with this work and frantically attempting to make a documentary. I have returned with the elixer! I literally don't joke. I just finished my atonement and resurrection!!!!!!! And Aliens... I would love to speak to you. HOLY SHIT
  • 37 minutes into video they talk about Jung’s near death experience and the crazy dreams he had days afterwards. Very cool stuff! Keep doing what you do 3rdeyedrops, this stuff is awesome!!!!! 😊😮❤
  • @ElenaRosa8
    I thought this video was released previously. It is deep . A lot to crunch . Love the thoughts about the pleroma and individuation . Will need to listen again . ✅
