@BowWowBrah He's clearly checking the curvature of the spine

The Philosopher's Stone is in Pennsylvania btw

@Manhattva Me:

W.

Hermit Cave of Johannes Kelpius in Philadelphia. He was a Christian Mystic and Rosicrucian originally from Transylvania. He became "The Wizard of Pennsylvania" and one of the earliest Esotericists in colonial America.

@Wyrding_Tech Same.

@polysophical I wish we got more charts from Fludd in his lifetime.

Is your ratio aligned towards illuminated mens or worldly idolum, Anon? You were made in the divine image so act like it. Unite your mens humana with mens divina or you will never reach felicitas.

@surskitmaxxing You start out reading obscure American history, and the next thing you know you're learning about magical systems and Renaissance philosophy

@polysophical It’s fascinating how a study of Mormonism will connect you to so many diverse ideas across so many civilizations and centuries

"Emanuel Swedenborg had a view of the world to come, but for daily food he perished." — Joseph Smith "Now hear a plain fact: Swedenborg has not written one new truth. Now hear another: he has written all the old falsehoods ... Have now another plain fact: any man of mechanical talents may from the writings of Paracelsus or Jacob Boehme produce ten thousand volumes of equal value with Swedenborg’s ... But when he has done this, let him not say that he knows better than his master, for he only holds a candle in sunshine." — William Blake

@polysophical This would have so much aura in Deseret script

@nicholasajoseph One of these two books for his sermons, especially near the end of his life (Nauvoo Period). Doctrine and Covenants (especially sections 76, 88, 93, and 124-132) for his most unique doctrines.

@polysophical Where should I go to learn

@EthicalMormon @brosephsmith420 I think Blake is right that much of Swedenborg's philosophy was derived from Boehme, but Blake also criticizes him for only communing with "too-religious" angels instead of expanding his horizons like Blake (who talks to some rather questionable characters at times)

@polysophical @brosephsmith420 I will not take this Swedenborg slander from Blake. Joseph Smith is right tho but it’s why Swedenborg could only prophesize about a new church and not build one. Also Swedenborg’s view on man is very Kabbalahlistc, worth considering

@plasmarob @Bar_tolmi He's basically saying Swedenborg copied Boehme's homework and changed a few things

@polysophical @Bar_tolmi I have no idea what Blake is going on about in this quote

@Bar_tolmi I find them all interesting. Blake originally thought very highly of Swedenborg but later changed his mind. What do you think of Boehme?

@polysophical Swedenborg is better than both of them.

@lorddouglasarch Very accurate

@polysophical Betteridge's law of headlines: "Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no."

I'll save you 23 minutes of your life: no

@ClownWorld Palm Beach Pete... that's exactly what Jeff would say

The man from that Florida video had to clear things up, saying he’s not Jeffrey Epstein after people online said he looked like him

@astrangerthere This one

@polysophical What edition is this?

Lectures on Faith

@jaredadairbell the edit is amazing but the video comes up weird on the timeline with the vertical aspect ratio I almost scrolled right past it. Make it horizontal and we will make it go viral

It was a major flop.

@RykerJackson97 we're the same age brother

25 is ok. 27 was the year that messed me up. 28 is much better though.
