The SECRET God of Nietzsche & Carl Jung? | Gnosticism & Philosophy

In this video I talk about the Gnostic God: ABRAXAS in relation to Carl Jung's written piece: 'The Seven Sermons to the Dead' to see how it relates to Friedrich Nietzsche's concepts of the Ubermensch, the death of God & the Dionysian affirmation of life.

[ElizondoAbelardo]

Ok, your previous videos on Jung were very interesting but now you are reaching a new level. Being able to see the similarities between religious and philosophical traditions, as well as other stuff you are doing, requieres not just being clever but also not limiting yourself to a particular perspective or system in order to keep learning. That, in my opinion, is how a true philosopher should approach problems.

Poem to the Unknown God

"Once more, before I move on
and set my sights ahead,
in loneliness I lift my hands up to you,
you to whom I flee,
to whom I, in the deepmost depth of my heart,
solemnly consecrated altars
so that ever
your voice may summon me again.

Deeply graved into those altars
glows the phrase: To The Unknown God.
I am his, although I have, until now,
also lingered amid the unholy mob;
I am his—and I feel the snares
that pull me down in the struggle and,
if I would flee,
compel me yet into his service.

I want to know you, Unknown One,
Who reaches deep into my soul,
Who roams through my life like a storm—
You Unfathomable One, akin to me!
I want to know you, even serve you."

- Friedrich Nietzsche, 1864

[vermeer]

"There is a middle state along the way, a pale, subtle light and a sunny happiness are his, a feeling of birdlike freedom, birdlike vision, birdlike exuberance, some third thing in which curiosity and a gentle contempt are united. One lives without being any longer in the fetters of love and hate, without Yes, without No... One becomes the opposite of those who concern themselves with things that have nothing to do with them." - Friedrich Nietzsche, 'Human, All Too Human', Preface, 4

[maudegonne]

One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious. The latter procedure, however, is disagreeable and therefore not popular.”

― C.G. Jung

Understanding Abraxas: 6 years ago over three days, I had an unusual experience. On the first day of meditation, a large snake asked me if it could swallow me. I said sure and it swallowed me. On the next day of meditation, I became a rooster, my fingers became claws, and it was a bewildering experience. On the third day of meditation, I found myself to be truly happy without having a cause for the happiness. I could not explain, nor understand any of this. It was only 5 years later when I read some Gnostic literature that I came upon Abraxas! I could go on, but I hope that you get the point. The snake's power for life is to swallow its prey! For me, it swallowed my consciousness. My two halves became one.

Also the Pleroma, fullness and emptiness, opposites combined, etc. can be visualized that at every point in space and at every moment in time there is a force expanding at the speed of light in all directions that moves everything. This force, to us, can be 4D hypersphere interacting with our 3D existence. The expanding force interacting with itself, interference, causes "matter" to us, and our consciousness. We are in 4D world and what we construe as 3D is just time! A line on a sheet of paper. We think we are observing the entire line at once, but in fact, our brain, pixel by pixel for each point on the line. The brain receives these pixels each one at a slightly different time. Our brain merges them as one time! Hence, our conclusion we live in a rigid, solid 3D world which is 3D time.

When Nietzsche has a secret god then you know that shit is about to hit the fan.

[TheSopheom]

Thank you for this, I started with sacred geometry, stumbled onto Jung, saw the synchronicities within alchemy, hermeticism, and Gnosticism. I have always been on the age old search for the truth, but that is considered knowledge, related to Sophia, and considered antichristian, from what I have gathered. So I continue to seek peace through knowledge. I awakened early on with an ego death at 16, it quite destoryed my entire world view and left me a shell of a person that I had to refill. At the time it was horribly depressing instead of incredibly freeing. Perspective huh?

[egodust]

The Gnostic Abraxas (some refer to as the Demiurge) is also equivalent to the ALL-ONE, Brahman, Shunya, the Kabbalistic Ain, the Toltec Nagual, the Tao, among others.

This pleroma sounds a lot like quantum superposition, where once the collapse of the wave function takes place, in the presence of an observer, voila, reality. An infinity of possibilities becomes finite and well-defined. Just a thought.

[kittywampusdrums]

I find Jung fascinating, I've found the Pluroma simply means beyond duality. If I leave the body consciously I don't necessarily go into the "bardo" (yet) but Bardo Yoga is taught none the less to those who are preparing to die, presuming they've never experienced anything outside their vessel. I ended up in a tradition called Drukama, my teacher there has done well to keep people aimed directly at the point and not get too sidetracked. It's amazing that God hides in emptiness right in front of us. Check out what Drukama is doing. Be well all!

[Damonf]

this was truly something else. i have been cultivating awareness of this unity of opposites for some time now and this feels like.. a very significant thread on that journey. thank you.

[hecateswolf]

Remarkable and wonderful that someone so young can be on such a search for truth, there is hope for man still.

[Eternalised]

Absolutely love the comparisons of Jung & Nietzsche. Great stuff

[sharingforimprovement]

But his sister makes a good cup of coffee hahahaha

[blakeroff]

Why am i finding this at 5am and understanding better than i would at 5pm haha

[rikquishewright]

Been watching your channel religiously (get the pun :P ), love the way you have been improving the visual content and finally putting the face to the voice definitely feels like you're bringing your listeners closer to your message. Keep it up Thoughts on Thinking! 🤘

[allourvice]

Was thoroughly impressed by the ideas, philosophy, and insights discussed in this video. Thank you.

[UncleWintersDisdain.]

The emptiness and fullness stuff is in the tao as well.
