The last time I was this excited first thing in the morning, I found a puppy in front of my house. (It's 7 am here).

Can't wait to share this with my husband, Tyler Tritten. I can actually remember when I goaded him to write that article. Great work and I look forward to your thoughts on the Timaeus.

Shelling’a understanding is consistent with that of the Russian theologian- philosopher Nicolai Berdyaev who was drawn to the idea of Sophia, as a wise and independent creative force of freedom within the godhead. This is not inconsistent with Jung’s understanding of the divine feminine in Answer to Job and Chris Bach’s profound experiences of the feminine aspect of the creative universe.

I’ve just finished Karl Popper’s critique of Plato, ‘Open Society and its Enemies’. The final chapter is probably enough for one familiar with Plato.

In the discussion you mentioned the patriarchy of Plato. I see a tie in between the Buddhist notion of emptiness leading to an encounter with Buddha Nature as a realization of the mother God Gaia. A person's first experience of pure love (if they are fortunate) is their welcome to the world in their mother's arms) Like Plato, the Asians of the time of the Buddha were thorough going patriarchal misogynists. I see the present time as the karmic consequences of a vengeful Father God who pisses on women. The Sheldon Coopers(Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, and Elon Musk etc) as a near comical version of satanic evil. They are raping and murdering the Mother God, Gaia, the giver of all life. Iain McGilchrist has the basic idea of the master and his emissarycorrect but being a mama's boy in short pants and a follower of the hyper-patriarchy of Edmund Burke, Iain McGilchrist believes the way forward is a return to some form of feudalism. The master should be Gaia and the emissary should be the Father God. Yes laws are probably necessary until everyone is enlightened(whatever that means) but the idea that laws come from the Father God alone and are eternal and these laws say men should piss on women. Well.... all I can say is that that is ine super fucked up God.
