    The first one is, for clarification :p. I mean to watch the 2nd at some point, but I'm gunna watch four lions later on tonight.

    No that's not my friends about me page. It says who wrote the article just between the top picture and where the review starts. He probably is an Evil dead fan anyway though! aha.

    'Mmm.. Astonishing sod ape..' - Sorry is that a quote from it? Must have missed it.

    I asked my friend if he'd seen the Chris Morris series, as he's very in the know in the film industry (he writes film reviews online). He started talking for ages about it aha, he also recommended I watch as much as I can by him aha. Starting with the Blue jam series I think. I'm very much looking forward to it :p.

    Here's a link to a recent film he reviewed in case you're interested, it's something I mean to watch when I get time. It's called the raid 2. I'v seen the first one and it's probably the most brutally violent films I'v seen so far aha. http://www.viewerdiscretionadvised.net/2014/04/guest-review-raid-2-berandal.html

    I may have spent yesterday and today researching the West Highland Rail line... :phear:

    I keep having Wuthering Heights/Lifeforce mashup flashbacks.

    (Lifeforce is a fantastically terrible alien vampire flick.)
    Thanks, I love that sort of stuff :applause:

    Check out this one if you haven't already seen it: The Brain From Planet Arous:

    "perpetual state of uprootedness, on account of this profound separation hyper-self-reflexiveness, materialisation, commodification and over-signification leads to: Winter phase. It's easy for me to see how these movements tap into deeper desires to 'return to roots'."

    materialization...Se...but where art thou Ni

    :phear:

    on a grand(archetypal) and individual scale

    I'm not really adding anything to the discussion, just like to say stuff ig.

    It's the "other stuff" that makes it unpalatable.

    I'm a big supporter of taking time off to craft the best application possible. It's what I'm doing with law school.

    And yeah, I just don't have the creative spark for fiction. I think I initially pursued it because it's more glamorous, but I don't even really read that much fiction. Nonfiction suits me more, I just need to develop a base of knowledge to draw from.

    Him and I could probably agree more often if our presentation styles weren't so diametrically opposed. But I'm wary of Crowley, for obvious reasons, so I don't see myself dabbling in his thought any time soon (if ever).

    No not directly. I'm just interviewing for jobs abroad, and I think the radical change of scenery could spur more creativity. Whether I write for an expat magazine part time or even blog doesn't really matter to me. I just want to start writing regularly again, and then send pieces out speculatively and see if anything catches.

    And I thought you were studying for a PhD?

    Haha I like Robert Greene!

    When you say "it" disrespects cowardice, are you referring to Ni? Or whatever it is Ni channels?

    "Only to find that interest is a medium for a deeper one that seems to run through my life in different guises."

    This is true for me as well. Your definitions of Ni in that thread were the best I've come across yet. That said, the nature of this "deeper" thing for me is still elusive. Whenever I try to systematize it, the life goes out of it and I lose interest in almost everything. It feels like this stage in my life is a prelude to the main event. I guess I'm trying to stock up on various ideas as supplies that might some day be made sensible by Ni clarity.

    I think that interpretation, while harsh, is legitimate on a certain level. I also think, however, that there are assumptions implicit in it that could be stripped away. That's where the hermeneutics comes in, which is where my interest has been piqued. Something like this is what I want to look into.

    "I somewhat suspect that authentic faith would be more active; like, through carrying out an assignment that only you in your uniqueness could achieve."

    Precisely.
    Absurdity
    But isn't that another sort of answer entirely? Whereas the others answer the question, it asserts that you're asking the wrong question.

    Sorry if I'm not making sense, still wrapping my head around this. There was this great essay online a little while back called "Towards a Postmetaphysical Christianity" that showed how the parables of Christ contained Deconstructive and paradoxical elements that destabilized any hope of universal meaning. Pity that article's been taken down since then, but that's the direction I see this line of thought heading. I'll try and flesh it out in more depth later.

    Might seem trivial, but it struck me as earth-shattering. This whole time I've been trying to answer the ethical question of "What is to be done?", but it looks like that question is irrelevant. Opens up a whole can of post-structural worms.

    The question for me becomes whether post-structural methodology can be disentangled from its left-leaning commitments. This suggests that it can be.

    My pastor dropped this bomb of a quote during service yesterday and it's really got me rethinking my worldview:

    "Christianity is the unreligion. It turns all our religious instincts on their head…

    The ancient Greeks told us to be moderate by knowing our inclinations. The Romans told us to be strong by ordering our lives. Buddhism tells us to be disillusioned by annihilating our consciousness. Hinduism tells us to be absorbed by merging our souls. Islam tells us to be submissive by subjecting our wills. Agnosticism tell us to be at peace by ignoring our doubts. Moralism tells us to be good by discharging our obligations. Only the gospel tells us to be free by acknowledging our failure. Christianity is the unreligion because it is the one faith whose founder tells us to bring not our doing, but our need."

    Hi there ^^ I was discussing psychokinetic phenomena on one of TheHabitDoctor's threads, and s/he referred me to you about something. I'm interested in collaborating with others on experiments that attempt to empirically assess psychic phenomena. Are you already doing something like that? Or, perhaps you'd be interested in forming a collaborative group..?
    I just realized what I typed. OMFG...

    "Though the true life isn't invisible, but composing the borders/boundaries/lines. That's why it's hidden. The lines outlive the entire plant."

    CLICK, mthrfckr!!! :balance:
    Sorry for the delay. Shitty wifi last few weeks...

    The Jung quote actually reminds me of what I just typed on Absurdity's wall. :D Though the true life isn't invisible, but composing the borders/boundaries/lines. That's why it's hidden. The lines outlive the entire plant.

    You should post GoatSim in Episkopos... :D
    Absurdity
    Yeah I saw his Wikipedia a little while back. Those guys have a very unique perspective but I don't feel like I have enough background to even partially grasp what they're getting at. Always been sort of wary of esoteric stuff.
    Absurdity
    Thank you for putting into words what I was grasping at.

    "though to Jung or traditional Chinese views, there are no coincidences..."

    What do you mean?
