Human Limitation: The Circle and Wheel

Dear Viewer,

This is a rather ambitious (because the subject matter is virtually inexhaustible) video that seeks to explore the deeper significance of the circle and in extension, the wheel. We seek to understand the dynamics of circular motion and extend the imagery and movement to alchemy, theurgy, and delve into astrological understandings from the Timaeus regarding the revolution of the heavens and their association with Time and Eternity and finally conclude on the mystical aspects of initiation via the imagery of the chariot wheel in Parmenides and Empedocles.

Boom! Absolutely phenomenal. You have a rare way of articulating ancient metaphysics I haven't seen anywhere else on YouTube.

Was recommended this channel from a friend. Best rec I received so far. No pretention, just a lot of wisdom in every minute.

truth coming in, truth coming out... truth coming out... truth coming in, one truth within another truth, many truths within one truth/// ""the circle"" you read... speak beautifully deep. Gracias

Rediscovering the incredible quality of your work on this channel. I've been away doing other work for months now...but that impelled motion from dot to line to circle is a fun and oh so satisfying thought structure to explore always.

What is the significance of this ocean cave? Many years ago, during my Troubled youth, I felt compelled to draw this cave on my wall in my bedroom. When I close my eyes, I can almost see this very same cave. Unfortunately I lacked this skill set to execute this with any accuracy. Now, later in my life, I could paint the cave, however it as materialized in these videos, along with the wisdom you share, answers to questions I’ve had for over a decade..

As it is written:

"And when I looked, there were four wheels by the cherubim, one wheel by one cherub and another wheel by each other cherub; the wheels appeared to have the color of a beryl stone. As for their appearance, all four looked alike— as it were, a wheel in the middle of a wheel. When they went, they went toward any of their four directions; they did not turn aside when they went, but followed in the direction the head was facing. They did not turn aside when they went. And their whole body, with their back, their hands, their wings, and the wheels that the four had,  were full of eyes all around. As for the wheels, they were called in my hearing, “Wheel.”

This will provide for quite a bit of contemplative material for my meditative practice. Thank you!

Always thought provoking, and seemingly so relevant. Thanks again for your great work!

Is it a limit or a creative guideline? No wrong answer - only another choice.

Curiously can you do a video on Heraclitus and Parmenides? I suspect they have the same philosophy though I might be wrong.

01:25 May I kindly ask, are you quoting the humble shoemaker Jakob Böhme? May I further ask for an assay on "Aion" in its meaning as cerebral spinal Fluid?

I've been obsessed with your videos for a week. This isn't my first rodeo as I'm a practicing astrologer and baptised member of the Ecclesia Gnostica. The highest complements to all of the work you've done, that I've experienced so far. I love that you took Doctor Sledge to task on the Gnosis video. He was easily my favorite YouTuber before I found you. I'll always respect and appreciate his work but for me you're like the Cormac McCarthy of occult wisdom.
