In Against Identity, philosopher Alexander Douglas seeks an alternative wisdom. Searching the work of three thinkers – ancient Chinese philosopher Zhuangzi, Dutch Enlightenment thinker Benedict de Spinoza, and 20th Century French theorist René Girard – he explores how identity can be a spiritual violence that leads us away from truth. Through their worlds and radically different cultures, we discover how, at moments of historical rupture, our hunger for being grows: and yet, it is exactly these times when we should make peace with our indeterminacy and discover the freedom of escaping our selves. Alexander Douglas was born in Canberra, Australia where he studied music and philosophy. He now teaches the history of philosophy and the philosophy of economics at the University of St Andrews. He has published two books on the philosophy of Benedict de Spinoza and one on the philosophy of debt. He has grown increasingly interested in combining ideas from Western and East Asian philosophy.

The Calling to Reorient the Self How can the sacred be recovered in a world fractured by autonomy and fragmentation? In this deeply personal episode of Kainos on The Lectern, recorded during a session hosted by Alexander Beiner on Kainos, John Vervaeke shares reflections from his recent pilgrimage across Europe—what he calls the Philosophical Silk Road. Weaving through sacred conversations and historic locations, he explores profound ideas like theosis, theoria, and voluntary necessity, inviting listeners into a lived philosophy of sacred participation. From Istanbul to Rome to Amsterdam, each location becomes a catalyst for insight and inner transformation. Vervaeke challenges the Enlightenment's idolization of autonomy and points toward a new possibility: a spirituality of finite transcendence, rooted in embodied knowing and dialogical belonging. This episode offers a raw and unfiltered account of mystical experience, intellectual shift, and spiritual disorientation—all in service of rediscovering what it means to be in contact with reality, in its fullest, most sacred form.

For the final episode in our current series on the history of bad ideas, David talks to philosopher Alexander Douglas about the damage that can be done by the idea of identity. Why is the search for a distinctive personal identity such a futile quest? How does it lead to an identity politics of exclusion and violence? What can we learn from the philosopher Spinoza about having an identity without identity? And what can we glean from the experience of dementia about losing ourselves?

In this eye-opening session, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath explores one of the most profound and misunderstood topics of all time: What is G-d? Moving beyond simplistic childhood images of a supernatural sky-being, we delve into Jewish, Chassidic, philosophical, and even scientific perspectives on the Divine. Drawing from thinkers like Einstein and the Alter Rebbe, this class gently unpacks a paradoxical truth: G-d is not less than personal, but also infinitely more than any person. Whether you're a believer, skeptic, or somewhere in between, this is a class that will stretch your mind and open your heart.Takeaways:Not All “G-ds" Are the Same The God that many reject may not be the G-d Torah and Kabbalah actually describe.Beyond Supernatural vs. Natural Judaism sees G-d not as a supernatural being outside nature, but as the source and essence of all existence, both within and beyond nature.Personal and Infinite G-d is not a person, but also not less than personal. The Divine is both the cosmic Author and the intimate Listener.Language & Metaphor Matter The Torah uses varied metaphors to relate to G-d, each revealing a facet, none capturing the whole.G-d Is Experienced, Not Just Explained You may not "prove" G-d like a theorem—but you can encounter G-d in awe, in kindness, in Torah, and in the quiet moments of the soul.#God #theology #thegodquestion #chassidus #Kabbalah #chabad #Spinoza #einstein #jewishphilosophy #Faith #personalgod #infinite #soul Support the showGot your own question for Rabbi Bernath?

Baruch Spinoza (1632–1677), también conocido como Benedictus de Spinoza, fue un filósofo neerlandés de origen sefardí portugués, considerado uno de los pensadores más influyentes del siglo XVII y una figura clave en el surgimiento de la Ilustración y el racionalismo moderno. Spinoza nació en Ámsterdam en una familia judía que había huido de la Inquisición en Portugal. Recibió una educación religiosa tradicional, destacándose en los estudios del Talmud. Sin embargo, sus ideas filosóficas heterodoxas lo llevaron a ser excomulgado de la comunidad judía en 1656, a los 24 años, mediante un severo edicto de herem que nunca fue revocado. Tras su expulsión, Spinoza adoptó una vida modesta como pulidor de lentes, dedicando su tiempo al estudio y la escritura filosófica. Rechazó cátedras universitarias y vivió de forma independiente, manteniendo correspondencia con destacados intelectuales de su época. Ética demostrada según el orden geométrico (1677), Esta obra, publicada póstumamente, es su tratado más conocido. En ella, Spinoza aplica un método geométrico, similar al de Euclides, para desarrollar una visión sistemática de la realidad, la mente y la moralidad. Propone que Dios y la naturaleza son una misma sustancia infinita (monismo), y que todo lo que existe es una manifestación de esta única realidad. Tratado teológico-político (1670), Publicado anónimamente, este tratado defiende la libertad de pensamiento y expresión, argumentando que la teología y la filosofía deben mantenerse separadas. Critica la interpretación literal de las Escrituras y sostiene que los milagros pueden explicarse mediante leyes naturales. Además, aboga por un gobierno democrático que garantice la libertad individual. Principios de la filosofía de Descartes (1663), En esta obra, Spinoza presenta una exposición de la filosofía de René Descartes utilizando el método geométrico. Incluye también pensamientos metafísicos propios, mostrando tanto su admiración como sus críticas hacia el cartesianismo. Ideas filosóficas: Monismo: Sostiene que solo existe una sustancia, Dios o la naturaleza, y que todo lo que existe es una manifestación de esta única realidad. Determinismo: Cree que todo ocurre según leyes necesarias, negando el libre albedrío en el sentido tradicional. Ética racional: Propone que la virtud y la felicidad se alcanzan mediante el conocimiento racional de uno mismo y del universo. Crítica religiosa: Rechaza la idea de un Dios antropomórfico y los dogmas religiosos, promoviendo una comprensión naturalista de la religión. Las ideas de Spinoza influyeron profundamente en el pensamiento moderno, anticipando conceptos de la Ilustración y el secularismo. Filósofos como Hegel, Nietzsche y Einstein reconocieron su impacto. Su defensa de la libertad de pensamiento y su visión racional del mundo continúan siendo relevantes en debates contemporáneos sobre religión, política y ética. Crítica religiosa: Rechaza la idea de un Dios antropomórfico y los dogmas religiosos, promoviendo una comprensión naturalista de la religión.

Ceci est une lecture améliorée de ma newsletter : Il y a quelques semaines, je me suis surpris à rêver d'acheter un tapis de marche. Assis devant mon écran, je comparais les modèles, je regardais les différentes options (pliables ou pas), comparais les prix. Mais si je suis vraiment sincère avec moi-même, j'ai vu ce tapis de marche chez une amie, je parle beaucoup de mouvement avec mon ami Alex...Si je vous demande ce que vous désirez, vous allez répondre une chose ou une autre.Mais que désirez-vous vraiment ?Combien de fois avez-vous désiré quelque chose parce que votre collègue, votre beau-frère ou cette personne sur Instagram le possédait ? Il peut basiquement s'agir d'un objet mais cela peut aussi être une envie de couple, de vacances, d'enfants ou simplement d'un chien...Trop souvent on désire des « choses » pour combler un vide qui n'avait rien à voir avec l'objet de la convoitise. Combien de fois avez-vous cru vouloir quelque chose alors qu'en réalité, vous ne faisiez que singer les désirs des autres ? Mais surtout combien de fois avez-vous ressenti le vide après avoir acquis l'objet en question.Si ces questions vous dérangent, c'est normal. Elles remettent en cause l'une des illusions les plus tenace de notre époque individualiste : celle que nos désirs nous appartiennent.Qu'ils jaillissent spontanément de notre être le plus authentique. Qu'ils sont le reflet de notre personnalité unique et singulière. Mensonge.Dans cet épisode solo j'explore sans fard ce qui motive nos choix. À travers l'exemple anodin d'un tapis de marche ou d'une montre connectée, je remonte le fil de mes envies. Pourquoi désirons-nous ? D'où viennent ces pulsions ? Et surtout : à qui appartiennent-elles vraiment ?J'ai convoqué René Girard, Bourdieu, Spinoza ou encore Clouscard, mais aussi mes propres expériences – de mes années d'ascension sociale à mes doutes de quadragénaire sur Instagram. J'y parle de capitalisme, de développement personnel, d'authenticité performative, mais aussi de spiritualité.J'ai voulu écrire cette épisode comme une boussole pour moi-même – et peut-être pour vous – dans un monde qui ne cesse de nous souffler quoi vouloir.5 citations marquantes« Nos désirs ont appris à mentir mieux que nous. »« Le désir est l'essence de l'homme, mais il peut aussi être sa prison. »« L'authenticité est devenue un produit de consommation comme un autre. »« Nous courons après des désirs qui ne sont pas les nôtres. »« Désirer ce que l'on a déjà, c'est peut-être ça la vraie liberté. »10 questions structurées posées (ou implicites)Qu'est-ce que je désire vraiment ?Pourquoi ai-je envie de tel objet ou telle expérience ?Mes désirs sont-ils vraiment les miens ou ceux des autres ?Pourquoi continue-t-on de courir après des choses qui nous laissent vides ?Quelle est la différence entre plaisir immédiat et joie profonde ?Pourquoi les désirs des adultes sont-ils parfois plus pernicieux que ceux des jeunes ?Quel rôle joue notre classe sociale dans la fabrication de nos désirs ?Comment savoir si un désir est authentique ?Pourquoi l'industrie du développement personnel ne nous aide-t-elle pas à mieux nous connaître ?Comment orienter nos désirs plutôt que les subir ?Timestamps clés pour YouTube00:00 – Introduction : le tapis de marche et l'origine du désir04:30 – Le grand mensonge du désir autonome10:00 – L'âge adulte et ses désirs déguisés15:40 – L'illusion de la réussite et de l'accumulation20:10 – Le piège du mimétisme selon René Girard25:00 – Clouscard, Bourdieu et la fabrique sociale des envies30:00 – Désir, insatiabilité et dopamine35:20 – L'obsession moderne de l'authenticité40:45 – Mes 5 critères pour reconnaître un vrai désir48:00 – Vers un art du désir conscient et libérateur Suggestion d'autres épisodes à écouter : [SOLO] Atrophie sociale : anatomie d'une manipulation de masse (https://audmns.com/UouEwvn) Vlan #51 (VF) Hacker votre cerveau pour être heureux avec Mo Gawdat (https://audmns.com/vPjaTsU) [SOLO] Gâcher du temps est un acte de résistance (https://audmns.com/YGGCTKa)Distribué par Audiomeans.

In this heart-open, mind-stretching class, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath dives headfirst into one of the most profound questions ever asked: Who wrote the Torah and what do we mean by G-d? Sparked by a challenge from Ilana, a thoughtful soul who just "won the raffle" and then handed Rabbi Bernath some of the hardest theological questions he's faced, this class isn't a debate, it's a bridge. Drawing from Torah, Talmud, Rambam, Tanya, Harari, Einstein, Spinoza, and Chassidic mystics, we explore traditional belief, academic scholarship, and the honest soul-searching that sits between them.Is the Torah a divine blueprint or a human masterpiece? Or… could it be both?Together, we walk a path between Sinai and the seminar room, from ancient revelation to modern doubt and discover that sometimes, the questions themselves are the invitation to a deeper relationship with truth.Key Takeaways:Traditional Belief Holds Depth: Torah mi-Sinai means Moses recorded divine revelation over 40 years. It's not simplistic, it's layered and deeply rooted in Jewish collective memory.Modern Scholarship Brings Honest Challenges: Thinkers like Harari argue that the Torah was assembled over centuries, reflecting political and social needs. These critiques must be addressed, not ignored.Kabbalah and Chassidus Provide a Bridge: Divine revelation doesn't exclude human expression. The Torah flowed through Moses' voice and personality, G-d worked with human vessels.Assumptions Shape Interpretation: Believers and skeptics alike interpret the same data through different axioms. Acknowledging this fosters respectful dialogue rather than defensiveness.The Torah's Endurance Is Itself a Testament: Its moral vision, power to unite, and enduring relevance across time and culture hint at something more than human genius, it points toward the Divine.This Is Not About “Winning” an Argument: It's about honesty, humility, and the courage to explore big questions together.The Torah Is a Living Document: Beyond history or philosophy, Torah continues to speak—not just inform, but transform. That may be its greatest proof of all.#Torah #God #Judaism #sinai #Moses #Divinerevelation #Documentaryhypothesis #YuvalNoahHarari #Kabbalah #Jewishtradition #BiblicalCrticism #Tanya #Spinoza #chassidus #Faith #theology Support the showGot your own question for Rabbi Bernath?

In this deeply personal and spiritually rich episode, philosopher Jerry L. Martin is joined by Abigail L. Rosenthal on his podcast God An Autobiography for an intimate conversation about divine encounters, spiritual awakening, and what it means to experience a radically personal God. Drawing from Jerry's new book Radically Personal: God and Ourselves in the New Axial Age, the discussion explores how spiritual truth is not one-size-fits-all and why each individual's connection to the divine can look entirely unique.Jerry reflects on being called to tell God's story across different cultures and religious traditions, while Abigail shares a powerful mystical experience that sustained her through a long and painful chapter in her life. Together, they discuss Jewish philosophy, personal spirituality, the rejection of Original Sin, and how trusting one's inner spiritual compass can lead to deep transformation.This episode speaks directly to seekers, skeptics, and anyone exploring their own spiritual path. It is a thoughtful and emotional journey into faith and doubt, divine presence, mystical experience, and the call to live with spiritual purpose.Explore more about Confessions of a Young Philosopher.Get Confessions of a Young Philosopher.Abigail L.

Cos'è il trattato filosofico-morale? Storia e caratteristiche del trattato che rimette al centro l'uomo e l'analisi di ciò che è eticamente giusto o sbagliato.

Charles Robin est philosophe et créateur de la chaîne YouTube « Le Précepteur », qui réunit aujourd'hui plus d'un million d'abonnés. Il s'est dernièrement intéressé à une thématique aussi fascinante que complexe : le hasard. C'est donc tout naturellement que j'ai eu envie de l'inviter pour plonger dans cette notion que nous utilisons tous, parfois à tort, souvent avec mystère.Dans cet épisode, nous nous interrogeons ensemble : est-ce que le hasard existe vraiment ? Ou est-ce simplement un mot que nous utilisons pour désigner ce que nous ne comprenons pas ? Charles, avec son approche pédagogique et nuancée, nous entraîne sur les traces de Spinoza, Sartre, Jung et d'autres penseurs majeurs pour explorer le déterminisme, la liberté, le sens et nos conditionnements, aussi bien sociaux que biologiques.J'ai voulu comprendre avec lui si donner du sens à une coïncidence était un acte rationnel ou une nécessité psychologique. Nous avons parlé de synchronicités, de loi de l'attraction, de spiritualité, mais aussi du besoin très humain de croire que certaines choses sont "destinées". Car au fond, dans un monde incertain et parfois brutal, n'est-ce pas réconfortant de penser que les signes existent pour nous guider ?Avec beaucoup de sincérité, Charles partage aussi son parcours : comment il a commencé à publier des vidéos de philo à une heure du matin, sans plan de carrière, juste porté par une envie de transmettre. Il parle de ses inspirations, de ses lectures, de ce que la philosophie peut nous apporter dans nos vies très concrètes, à travers nos relations amoureuses, nos colères en voiture ou nos moments d'échec.Ce que j'ai particulièrement aimé dans cette discussion, c'est cette manière de ramener la pensée philosophique dans notre quotidien, avec simplicité et honnêteté. Nous avons aussi exploré des sujets qui me sont chers : la liberté réelle (ou illusoire), la responsabilité individuelle, le regard que l'on porte sur soi et sur les autres, et cette capacité à prendre du recul, à observer nos propres conditionnements pour mieux avancer.Un échange dense, humain, et profondément inspirant. À écouter si vous vous êtes déjà demandé pourquoi certaines choses vous arrivent, ou si vous voulez simplement apprendre à mieux comprendre votre propre façon de voir le monde.Citations marquantes“On ne se croit libre que parce qu'on ignore qu'on est déterminé.” — Charles Robin“Prendre les choses personnellement, c'est croire que l'autre agit contre nous.” — Charles Robin“Le fatalisme, c'est attendre que le destin fasse à notre place.” — Charles Robin“L'émotion, c'est le mouvement de l'âme.” — Charles Robin“La liberté, c'est ce moment d'inconfort où tu dois choisir.” — Charles RobinLes grandes questions posées Pourquoi avoir choisi le thème du hasard pour ton TED Talk ?Quelle est la vision de Spinoza sur le hasard ?Peut-on vraiment être libre si tout est déterminé ?En quoi la spiritualité et l'ésotérisme peuvent-ils mener à la philosophie ?Est-ce que prendre les choses personnellement est une erreur ?Peut-on forcer le destin ?Quelle différence fais-tu entre déterminisme et fatalisme ?L'amour est-il un terrain privilégié pour comprendre nos conditionnements ?Comment es-tu venu à faire de la philosophie sur YouTube ?Est-ce que donner du sens au hasard est vital pour les humains ?Timestamps YouTube00:00 – Introduction sur le hasard et la loi de l'attraction01:21 – Rencontre avec Charles Robin, aka Le Précepteur03:00 – Pourquoi choisir le hasard comme thème de vulgarisation ?05:30 – Synchronicités, clins d'œil de la nature et perception08:40 – Spinoza : le hasard comme ignorance des causes11:00 – Liberté, déterminisme et responsabilité selon Spinoza17:00 – Les Accords Toltèques et la rationalisation des émotions23:00 – Conditionnements biologiques et sociaux29:00 – L'impact des biais cognitifs sur notre perception35:00 – L'émotion : expression du mouvement intérieur38:00 – Le déterminisme comme participation au réel45:00 – Perception sélective et réalité subjective52:00 – Science, croyance et besoin de sens56:00 – Origine de la chaîne YouTube “Le Précepteur” Suggestion d'autres épisodes à écouter : #277 Le pouvoir de la mémoire : vivre avec son passé pour avancer avec Charles Pepin (https://audmns.com/kymWSYh) #160 Comment gérer la violence actuelle de la société? avec Marie Robert (https://audmns.com/oJoWbXn) [BEST-OF] Comment ne pas être esclave de la société? avec Alexandre Lacroix (https://audmns.com/cWqkPXv)Distribué par Audiomeans.

Spinoza: filosofia e pensiero. Le opere più importanti del filosofo olandese autore dell'Etica e del Trattato teologico-politico.

A new approach to the theism-scientism divide rooted in a deeper form of atheism.Western philosophy is stuck in an irresolvable conflict between two approaches to the spiritual malaise of our times: either we need more God (the “turn to religion”) or less religion (the New Atheism). In Experiments in Mystical Atheism: Godless Epiphanies from Daoism to Spinoza and Beyond, (University of Chicago Press, 2024) Brook Ziporyn proposes an alternative that avoids both totalizing theomania and atomizing reductionism. What we need, he argues, is a deeper, more thoroughgoing, even religious rejection of God: an affirmative atheism without either a creator to provide meaning or finite creatures in need of it—a mystical atheism.In the legacies of Daoism and Buddhism as well as Spinoza, Nietzsche, and Bataille, Ziporyn discovers a critique of theism that develops into a new, positive sensibility—at once deeply atheist and richly religious. Experiments in Mystical Atheism argues that these “godless epiphanies” hold the key to renewing philosophy today.You can download the supplementary materials here.

Francesco Cerrato, Matteo Cavalleri"La battaglia delle idee"Il partito comunista italiano e la filosofia nel secondo dopoguerraLuca Sossella Editorewww.lucasossellaeditore.itIl rapporto tra il Partito comunista italiano e la filosofia fu tutt'altro che formale o superficiale. La cultura politica del Partito, dei suoi quadri dirigenti e delle sue e suoi militanti, si nutrì spesso di letture e riflessioni filosofiche. Molte filosofe e filosofi italiani furono “intellettuali organici”, altre e altri con il Partito dialogarono, talvolta polemizzarono. Il Pci non si limitò a osservare, ma intervenne attivamente nel dibattito filosofico: pubblicando saggi e recensioni sui propri organi di stampa, organizzando convegni e promuovendo dibattiti.Quali erano le ragioni di questa vicinanza? Chi furono le protagoniste e i protagonisti di questo confronto?Il libro esplora la logica, le questioni teoriche e la storia di un rapporto intenso e necessario, complesso e non privo di attriti, sempre incentrato sul tema della pensabilità e praticabilità della trasformazione storica.Matteo Cavalleri svolge attività di ricerca e insegnamento presso il Dipartimento di Filosofia dell'Università di Bologna. I suoi interessi comprendono la filosofia hegeliana, l'antropologia filosofica, la relazione tra letteratura, politica e filosofia e il pensiero filosofico italiano novecentesco.Francesco Cerrato insegna Storia della filosofia nel Dipartimento di Filosofia dell'Università di Bologna. È direttore di “Dianoia. Rivista di filosofia”.

On Spinoza's Ethics, Third Part, "Concerning the Origin and Nature of the Emotions." We want to see how emotions ground ethics, but first, we have to explain what emotions are, which means explaining how mind and body (and causality) work together on Spinoza's account. A passion is being affected by something that we don't understand, whereas reason (which will yield ethical behavior) involves grasping a cause clearly and distinctly. The latter means it's in your individual mind, whereas even if you don't understand the cause, it's still in God's mind, which each of us is essentially a part of.

Federica Re"Lo spazio soprannaturale di Samuel Taylor Coleridge"CN Casa NuvolariOligo Editorewww.oligoeditore.itIn un contesto in cui gli studi in italiano su Coleridge sono piuttosto rari e di non semplice reperibilità, questa monografia vuole rendere accessibile un autore fondamentale per la letteratura anglosassone del XIX secolo. Attraverso i versi in lingua originale e in traduzione e grazie all'analisi della bibliografia inglese più accreditata, l'autrice si focalizza su tre opere, La ballata del vecchio marinaio, Christabel e Kubla Kahn, concentrandosi sul significato assunto dallo spazio e sulla capacita di Coleridge di evocare immagini e situazioni oniriche, allegoriche e visionarie, creando una soglia che dà fantasmaticamente e indubitabilmente accesso all'oltre."Il poema è come una grande vetrata di cattedrale, fiorita di colori perenni, e circonfusa di splendore ultraterreno".Mario PrazFederica Re è nata nel 1972 e vive a Rho, in provincia di Milano. Lavora in ambito editoriale e ha pubblicato sillogi poetiche con Albatros, Pulcinoelefante e Il Rio. Laureata in Lingue e Letterature Straniere, in questa monografia riprende e amplia i suoi studi universitari.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

In philosophy of mind, panpsychism is the view that the mind or a mind-like aspect is a fundamental and ubiquitous feature of reality. It is also described as a theory that "the mind is a fundamental feature of the world which exists throughout the universe". It is one of the oldest philosophical theories, and has been ascribed in some form to philosophers including Thales, Plato, Spinoza, Leibniz, Schopenhauer, William James, Alfred North Whitehead, and Bertrand Russell. In the 19th century, panpsychism was the default philosophy of mind in Western thought, but it saw a decline in the mid-20th century with the rise of logical positivism. Recent interest in the hard problem of consciousness and developments in the fields of neuroscience, psychology, and quantum mechanics have revived interest in panpsychism in the 21st century because it addresses the hard problem directly.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/monster-fuzz--4349429/support.

Greetings Gearthlings… Welcome aboard Planet Gearth: The Bulging Consciousness Podcast. I'm your host, Jay Lloyd. Here's where Inspired Spirituality meets Hard Science meets Timeless philosophy meets Humor meets You! For our premiere episode, we'll take a deep delve into Philosophy with a very special, miraculous even, interview with a 17th Century Philosopher who was so far ahead of his time… He's here tonight!  Benedict De Spinoza! His ideas and notions got him labeled as a heretic in his time but he has subsequently influenced some of the greatest philosophers and thinkers of all time. When Einstein was asked if he believed in God. He famously replied, “I believe in Spinoza's God.”  We'll find out from Spinoza himself his famous reasoning on God and Nature, plus we'll get his current thoughts on how Quantum Consciousness theories of today mesch with his theories from 350 years ago in a fascinating and educational discussion.  After the interview,  I'll introduce my Dimension Ascension Galactic Team for our Half-Cocked Galactic Round Table Segment, where we'll discuss the interview and other hot topics of the day.   With our Rag-Tag band of ArchAngels, Fallen Angels, Ascendant Masters, Profits, Ex-Profits, Non-Profits, Alien Overlords, Astrological Aficionados, Channelers, mediums, psychics, Spirits, Ghosts, Hosts and more…we'll mind-meld, like dark chocolate melds to the space between your teeth and gums, with the latest that Science, Philosophy and Spirituality have to offer, and perhaps more importantly see how they can all finally work together. As your host, I'll be guiding us toward a better tomorrow with the help of my ascendant team of masters and disasters. And as a Voice-Actor it works out pretty good, since I'll be channeling all of their voices from deep inside my universal consciousness and vocal cords.  Join our Dimension Ascension podcast where we aim to beat up toxic masculinity, figuratively, fight environmental destruction, literally, divide the dividers, and with a little luck, help raise our vibrations and find the enlightenment that unites the world.

En el programa de hoy, se profundiza en la figura de Isaac Newton, uno de los más grandes genios de la historia, destacando su influencia decisiva en el desarrollo de la ciencia moderna. Se abordan sus aportes fundamentales como la ley de gravitación universal, las tres leyes de la mecánica clásica, y la invención del cálculo diferencial e integral. Además, se examinan sus contribuciones en óptica, astronomía y la invención del telescopio reflector. El programa también explora su lado menos conocido, como su dedicación a la alquimia y estudios bíblicos, reflejo de la dualidad intelectual del siglo XVII. Finalmente, se contextualiza a Newton dentro de una constelación de otros grandes pensadores de su tiempo como Descartes, Galileo, Kepler, Pascal, Spinoza y Locke.

The theory of ultraterrestrials—non-human intelligences that reside in hidden subterranean realms and subtly influence human affairs—has long been overshadowed by the more popular extraterrestrial hypothesis. But what if the so-called space visitors contactees described in the 1950s and beyond were actually ancient breakaway civilizations from Earth itself? We dive into the rich history of crypto-terrestrial lore, from secret underground bases to deceptive spirit board messages, and explore how these beings might be hiding in plain sight. Then, for our Plus+ members, we unravel the terrifying tale of a family plagued by a malevolent poltergeist calling itself “Prince.” Was its arrival triggered by innocent curiosity, or was something far more sinister unleashed from within the home—and the human psyche?

Why didn't god know that only 45% of women bleed after the first time having intercourse? If women were not property, why is it they could not go free like the way men could? Is war a good reason to rape and enslavement people? Men under this law did not need the brightly colored suits and feathered hats to sell their “property” as concubines.Art in PA is concerned that Spinoza's god is being misrepresented. How can god be defined without using the term, “god”? There is no real interesting dispute when language is being used differently to describe something. What would the universe be without this god? What evidence is there for us to conclude that we are manifestations of the mind of god?Tim in NY argues that just because abiogenesis is real, it does not mean that it is independent of a creator. What evidence is there for us to believe there is a creator to begin with? If one thing creates other things, that does not mean that the first thing also has to have a creator. Extra entities being added will need extra commitments. Why do we need to add the creator stuff into the hypothesis and complicate things? What is the benefit of adding this complication? How do we know there are not an infinite number of gods working together?David in CA asks the hosts how they think the planets were formed. Justin explains how the accretion disk theory is the current model with gravity pulling things together towards a massive central body. Why do we need to add a creator to this? The caller has a hard time answering whether or not scientists have a good understanding of gravity.Noah in TX  wonders why so many African Americans still believe in Christianity when the history is easy to research. Justin explains how people are not likely to let go of instinct and centuries of culture until something compels them to do so. Sometimes it can be difficult to convince family members when they know all your flaws already. Zak in MD has been an atheist for around 13 years after doing some research and finding that god is a lie. Over the course of time we get conditioned to have an emotional response to things that do not just go away once you leave religion. This takes work and the deprogramming is different for everybody, sometimes taking years to detach. Thank you for tuning in this week!

On today's ID the Future out of the vault, join host and geologist Casey Luskin and historian of science Michael Keas for a lively conversation puncturing a series of anti-Christian myths about the history of science, including the Dark Ages myth, the flat-earth myth, the myth that humanity was rendered insignificant by the discovery of the size of the universe, and the simplistic revisionist history of Galileo and the Inquisition. What about the claim in the recent Cosmos TV series reboot that in abandoning his traditional Jewish faith, seventeenth-century philosopher Baruch Spinoza was able to provide an improved framework for doing science? As Keas argues, the truth is just the opposite. Spinoza, he says, abandoned a key tenet of Judeo-Christian theology that had proven vital to the birth of science. Source

Christopher Laquieze est un penseur autodidacte à la trajectoire singulière. Il n'a pas étudié la philosophie dans un cadre académique classique, mais a construit sa sagesse à travers les épreuves de la vie, la lecture passionnée et une quête personnelle du sens. Il est l'auteur du livre Le Silence de la Joie, une œuvre aussi poétique que profondément philosophique.J'ai découvert Christopher à travers son compte Instagram qui cumule plus de 300 000 followers et que je suivais avec beaucoup d'intérêt, intrigué par la densité et la lucidité de ses propos. Et ce que je peux vous dire, c'est que notre rencontre ne m'a pas déçu — bien au contraire. Dans cette période un peu dystopique et effrayante, j'avoue envie de vous parler de joie et de la manière dont on pouvait la trouver.Et ca tombe bien, dans cet épisode, nous avons plongé ensemble dans une réflexion vertigineuse sur le silence, la joie, le réel et la réalité.Nous avons parlé du silence de la joie, cette joie qui naît sans cause, comme un souffle venu du fond de l'âme. Une joie qui, pour Christopher, est un cri, une forme de révolte face à l'absurdité du monde. J'ai voulu comprendre ce que signifiait pour lui cette forme de joie silencieuse, mais aussi pourquoi il considérait le monde comme “tragique” et comment, malgré tout, il choisit d'y affirmer son existence.Christopher m'a partagé son parcours : une adolescence chaotique, une dépression sévère, une dérive dans la spiritualité dogmatique, et enfin, une renaissance à travers la philosophie. Une philosophie brute, vécue, ancrée dans le réel. Il raconte comment la philosophie l'a aidé à déconstruire des croyances, à abandonner des illusions, mais aussi comment elle peut être déstabilisante, voire destructrice.Nous avons abordé la notion de désir — non pas comme manque, mais comme élan vital — et évoqué des penseurs majeurs : Spinoza, Nietzsche, Camus, Clément Rosset, Pessoa... Autant d'influences qui éclairent sa pensée et nourrissent ses réflexions.Dans cet épisode, j'ai questionné Christopher sur le développement personnel, les dangers de la pensée positive poussée à l'extrême, la mémoire, la solitude, l'amitié, et cette idée si bouleversante : peut-on vraiment “passer à côté de sa vie” ?C'est une conversation d'une rare intensité, lucide, parfois brutale, mais toujours profondément humaine. Une plongée dans l'âme, un dialogue avec nos zones d'ombre, et une invitation à repenser ce que signifie vivre avec joie, malgré tout.5 citations marquantes« La joie, c'est apprendre à désespérer sans tomber dans le désespoir. »« Le silence n'est pas une absence de langage, mais une présence de sens. »« Ce n'est pas parce qu'une chose est bonne que je la désire, mais parce que je la désire qu'elle devient bonne. »« La philosophie ne sauve pas toujours ; elle peut aussi nous détruire. »« On ne se définit pas parce qu'on est, mais parce qu'on n'est pas. »10 questions que l'on se poseQu'est-ce que représente pour toi “le silence de la joie” ?Pourquoi qualifies-tu le monde de tragique ?Le silence est-il le grand oublié de notre société connectée ?Pourquoi t'es-tu autant intéressé à la philosophie ?Est-ce que la philosophie peut nous sauver ?Quelle est ta vision du développement personnel aujourd'hui ?Comment animes-tu la joie en toi au quotidien ?Que signifie “désirer ce que l'on a déjà” ?Comment différencies-tu le réel et la réalité ?Est-ce que l'on peut passer à côté de sa vie ?Timestamps00:00 – Introduction de l'épisode01:45 – Le concept du “silence de la joie”03:06 – Pourquoi le monde est-il tragique ?04:17 – Le silence dans une société ultra-connectée06:16 – Le parcours personnel de Christopher vers la philosophie08:33 – La philosophie peut-elle être destructrice ?13:49 – Une critique de la spiritualité et du développement personnel21:16 – Comment naît la joie dans l'absurde ?23:42 – L'éternel retour et la joie selon Nietzsche30:55 – Désirer ce que l'on a déjà, selon Spinoza35:04 – La gratitude face au quotidien38:44 – Conclusion Suggestion d'autres épisodes à écouter : #335 Trouver du reconfort dans un monde en chaos avec Marie Robert (https://audmns.com/ICuFMra) Vlan #90 Booster sa confiance en soi à l'ère numérique avec Charles Pepin (https://audmns.com/oVsnEHR) #336 Le bonheur doit être le projet de notre siècle avec Arthur Auboeuf (https://audmns.com/LkXQumL)Distribué par Audiomeans.
