  • It’s that time of the year to pull out that GDS all time Classic…Mike Flanchered w/ Dr. Farrell

    • I am so excited. I play (or did when life was simpler) the alto and soprano recorders. I received my Baroque cross blown flute that is in the same key as the recorders last week and have nothing but Bach flute music to play. I was pretty good at Baroque recorder pieces (too many years ago to mention) but like most muscle memory things, I…

    • Thanks Winston, it’s a delightful piece for the ear and the spirit and a long time favorite from Giza. This is such an excellent recording it even sounds good on the tablet. šŸ˜‰

      Nothing wrong with plugging books Peter, hear hear hear, plug on…in fact I’ll go further, I think it wise for more people to start dusting them off (or purchase some while you can) and using them and put the ā€œdevicesā€ down…completely different understanding and experience with information, i.e., a person may actually become knowledge…[Read more]

      • Plus you can underscore, overscore and scribble in the margins…

          • AAAAUUUGGGGHHHH. I put sticky notes in my books as tabs but I consider my books to be too important for me to be defacing them. I hate buying used books, often the only available, with someone’s version of ā€œideasā€ written in them.

              • I’m with Wu Wu on this one – I also annotate some books with a light soft pencil, but for more detailed notes I tend to use a post-it tab (not the big square jobbies, but the thin strips) to mark the page and cross-referenced with my notebooks – each subject I have a serious interest in has it’s own notebook.

            • The author of the article is Jonny Tickle and the Metropolitan is named Hilarion. Was this first posted on The Onion or Babylon Bee?

                • This was an actual article posted by Russia Today (RT). The article is about a statement the Metropolitan of the Russian Archdiocese of America (commonly known as ROCOR) released. In other words, sadly this is no joke. It’s a serious cultural and spiritual issue.

                • Another case of a religious institution bowing to the will of the state? Or perhaps of a religious institution caving in to a public relations agenda?

                  “We are responsible for all those who come into contact with us”? I’d like to hear a logical, philosophical, or religious justification for that one!

                  • Wait a minute, isn’t religion the opiate of the masses?!! Oh, yeah I forgot, Russia no longer is a Marxist state. They ALL changed their minds back in the 90’s.

                    • As I keep saying, ALL churches are infiltrated and coopted… Q.E.D.

                      • To be blunt the last st. Mark of Ephesus and st. Gregory Palamas we had was the late Metropolitan of Montenegro, Amphilocius, who passed away in November 2020 and the Serbian Patriarch Irenaeus who passed away in January 2021. Both men were well respected even by those that disagreed with them. That’s the problem. These days true…

                      Inventing the Middle Ages by Norman F. Cantor (if your not aware of it) is a good book. It has a chapter titled “The Oxford Fantasists”, covering C.S. Lewis and Tolkien, and gives an interesting analysis on their works…JPF has referenced this book for many yrs in the vidchats…just another avenue if your interested.

                          I take this stuff. You posted this last year about a scientist who talks about it and its doses. I had it bookmarked but can’t find it. Wish I could recall what site that was. I like the stuff.

                            Yeah! Very interesting indeed…especially when you start finding people popping up in history (post-Templars) as descendents of these “knights”. For example, if you will allow me, I found it intriguing that Gilles de Raiz was a direct descendent (on maternal side) of one of the Grand Masters of the Templars, that just so happened to inherit…[Read more]

                            • Given that Templars were forbidden to hug even their own mothers let alone get, er, frisky with the ladies, how did de Raiz have a Templar Grand Master as an ancestor? The same way Bergoglio is alleged to have fathered children with the woman who is now Queen of The Netherlands (ie, by breaking his vows), or…?

                                I’ll just give my two cents, whatever that’s worth…probably not much I admit. But, I think it a complete reversal and further sliding backwards on this site, OR in research generally, if we try ā€œarguingā€ with videos, rather than texts and carefully argued speculation with definite footnotes and citation…I’m not so concerned with conclusions…[Read more]

                                • I’m with you on the chain of reasoning. So, visual and auditory perception are not comparable to footnotes based on others visual perception? I suppose you want the phrase..a picture is worth a thousand words to be locked up in the back room of academia?

                                      • Bought this book back in February 2021.
                                        Deep subject matter; and the author does a great job of analyzing what’s currently going on.
                                        For example, at approximately 7:30 clicks in he states: The objective is to leave no buffer between the individual and the corporate State. A little later: Digitality will enable all this surveillance and…

                                        Daniel, Dr. Farrell’s website developer and former student. Don’t know that he does that on any website; he did it on here as they go way back knowing each other. I know, I miss the dialogues with Daniel as well.

                                            Good afternoon and a Happy blessed Easter to you and your loved ones if you celebrate it. Thank you for taking time out and answering me, I really appreciate it.

                                            I’m a bit played out on the “Dime-Store Metaphysics” myself…people please understand…these ideas go way back beyond Theosophy and Steiner and the like…good grief. Never one citation to any font or source of knowledge or system of thinking… Please…Citation, Citation, Citation. Just my two cents.
