Dr. Bruce MacLennan enters the mind meld!

*See the full video version here*

In this brain-melting transmission, we talk consciousness, the link between Carl Jung and hidden ancient wisdom, platonism, why the platonic realm of forms is logically inescapable, the mysterious esoteric practice known to the ancient Greeks as "theurgy," why ancient philosophy is more important than ever, and much more.

Bruce J. MacLennan, Ph.D. is a professor and author with forty years of experience studying ancient Greek philosophy and religion. He has published journal articles and book chapters on Neoplatonic spiritual practices, Jungian psychology, and neurotheology. He is Associate Professor Emeritus of Computer Science at the University of Tennessee where he had a special interest in neural networks, swarm robotics and emergent phenomena in artificial systems.

Now administering third-eyed drops.

Welcome back to the wonder-debt, my friends, Michael P. here.

0:21.6

We have got an immense, penuma-soaked transmission for you.

0:27.5

I just wanted to quickly remind you that all of these episodes go up one week early

0:33.4

on YouTube, and of course you can view them in their full, ocular glory, which I would

0:38.7

argue is particularly important on this episode because we do use a lot of mouth noises

0:45.4

and drop a lot of names that I think may be unfamiliar to non-plotonic, hermetic,

0:53.8

mega-dorks, and for that reason I opted to flash a lot of images and text on the screen

1:02.0

throughout this mind-meld, perfectly doable in the audio dimension, of course.

1:08.1

But either way, you should go to youtube.com, forward slash third-eyed drops, hit the subscribe

1:13.8

button, and consume whatever tickles your wonder-pickle there.

1:19.4

And with that, my friends, I am immensely excited to serve you this mind-meld, so without

1:26.3

further ado, let it commence.

1:30.1

You always said when you reduce the phenomenal and the external that you keep reducing them

1:35.6

down, you get to the Eunice Mundus, which is both cyclical and physical, and it gets

1:42.0

to the platenism, viewing mathematical objects as genuine platonic objects.

1:47.0

So mathematical truths, if you will, exist in this way that's independent certainly of

1:54.0

our minds, or any physically embodied minds in the universe.

1:58.9

Now you can call that the mind of God or something like that, and that's an interesting discussion.

2:04.0

The point that to me is very striking is that there is this, I'll call it, noetic, knowledge

2:10.5

kind of connection between things that exist in this faceless, timeless, eternal platonic
