Answering a Few Questions That Were Placed My Way
In this video, I dive deep into the connection between philosophical thought and occult practices, answering a few important questions along the way:
Is there a connection between philosophical thought and occultism?
Are they both searching for hidden truths, just through different lenses?
I explore how occult practices are often misunderstood, clarifying that true occultism is centered around meditation and contemplation, not the exaggerated stereotypes of blood sacrifices or Satanism. We also look at how philosophical inquiry mirrors these practices, with both seeking wisdom and understanding.
In this exploration, I make a key distinction between knowledge and wisdom, using symbolism to explain the deeper meaning behind concepts like the capital "I" and lowercase "i." This leads to a discussion of Lucifer as the lucid dreamer, the relationship between imagination and the ineffable, and the paradox of dual paradoxical simultaneousness.
At the heart of this conversation is the idea that knowledge is like food—something we consume—while wisdom is the deeper taste that lingers. We touch on the dynamic relationship between atheism and theism, using the story of Cain and Abel as a symbolic reflection of the duality in human understanding.
