Living in England most of my life I often mis-hear the word ''Brutish''... as ''British''. Thomas Hobbes judged life in nature to be ''nasty, British, and short'. And now Proclus on the Timaeus... ''for the British nature is not the body, but the life-principle of the brute''. it is long past midnight on a Saturday here, and the noises from the street confirm both of those readings :)

thank you for posting this - listening to things of this type soothe the soul, turn it away from the anxieties of the body and the material, and turn it toward the intellect.

Cheers, Dan. Nice reading, as always. So much talk of the soul in human history. We all feel that we have one, but defining it is another matter. In his lifetime Ramana Maharshi only ever aknowledged three other beings as having achieved full enlightenment. One was a cow called Lakshmi. She visited him every day, and when she died he built her an elaborate tomb (Samadhi). Was the great sage pulling people's legs? I wouldn't put it past him. He also reputedly settled disputes among monkeys, and sometimes he told his followers that the birds that perched near him in the ashram were the souls of ancient sages come to pay their respects. I think he enjoyed fucking with people. But then again ...

I am in favour of broad tastes but yes, probably best to limit oneself to fucking with people. Once the species barrier is crossed there's all sorts of trouble: as my Granny used to say ''A daemon can fall in love with a brute, but where they gonna live? '' :)

@@markdpricemusic1574 My Granny used to say, 'Every shitey coo needs a neighbour'. Which amounts to the same thing, I suppose. The idea that the human soul is based on any kind of intellectual 'faculty' is quite obviously fallacious. Anyone who has ever dreamed a dream knows this. And unless the Platonic terminology has been grossly mistranslated, the premise of the soul as 'intellect' is obviously wrong. We don't need ancient manuscripts to know this. Close your eyes and let your mind wander. Whatever the soul is, it is not intellectual. It is experiencial.

Thank you for this teaching. It’s fascinating to think of the possible experiences of the soul outside of the narrow Christianity in which I was raised.

I can see why some Christians loved Plato so much. He helped them justify their brutality.
