what an amazing soul, he really was truly in touch with his ego & nature.

i suggest the two books referring to Nietzsche & Emerson's connections: elective affinity and romance of individualism.

very old souls these men

I just purchased a nicely bound copy of Emerson's lecture's and essays (my original copy got lost in transit when I moved to SF). I've been reading a passage or two a day for the last two weeks and am even more impressed and moved than when I first read him. I'll see if I can get my hands on those books you recommended. Thanks Ben!

Quite sad it is going to take two of us dying before this stuff fully sinks in to those so claimed brains many of you carry on those shoulders.

You're going to need to back up and explain your story a little more coherently, because I am having an awful lot of trouble figuring out what you are taking about.

YOU EMERSON ELECTRODE!

[coreolis7]

Emerson is great stuff but few people can understand that ornate 19th century syntax anymore. It sounds good out loud because he mostly made his living by doing lectures. Its always interesting how people respond differently to text and speech, just like McLuhan said they did.

I have no idea what you are talking about-but you read with much sincerity which is very sweet-i have never heard of Emerson but it sounds like it was written a long time ago-i prefer channeld books that are of the present as there are so many changes I find history interedting but obselete

From what piece of Ralph Waldo Emerson's is this excerpt?

[patternsinchaos]

Eg (2 Nephi 24:12 on Lucifer) and 24:16 ...

"Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms?"

To the wiser, Lucifer was a form of energetic disturbance which manifests beneath the ground- i-ching "thunder in the earth the course of heaven"

And as the christ light (the vedic soma-maruts) begets the birth of knowledge and perpetuity, Lucifer takes it away.

Technically in the Vedas- a flaw in the Ribuhs (covenant)

Good and bad as creation and destruction are so.

[patternsinchaos]

Most of the sacred texts have their roots in the in solar truths, myths, and ritual. A subtle truth I've unearthed is that solar features foreshadow the birth of storms, and the death of matter (earthquakes). This was also known by the Egyptians, the Rishis and the original authors of many of the other texts including the bible.

When a celestial influence creates (usually above ground) matter here on the Earth this is from the higher or the body of the sun of god, the christ light.

Here's a granular explanation about the relationship between the (mistranslated) concepts of Christ and Lucifer integrating Emerson.

Emerson understood that, as he put it "above is within"- his vision of "as above so below" from the Emerald Tablet which is also the source of the lords prayer, "on earth as it is in heaven"

I would say "above begets below" and therefore there is a hyper-symmetry between them.
