I think of the Übermensch not in the kind of Ayn Randian way but more in the Thus Spoke Zarathustra kind of way where it is a love affair with life and wisdom…that allows #Nietzsche's Zarathustra to say, give me a free death…I can say yes when death comes…because I've had this love affair.

That takes for me a lot of preparation. I think about Nietzsche writing #Zarathustra or #Julian [of Norwich] writing these things and everybody looking at her like she's a crazy lady. -Danny Layne at 51:30 of "A Potent Alchemy: Platonism and the Abrahamic Tradition."

I have lived life in such a way that I am not afraid to die, that I can be put up on that cross. I can drink that hemlock. I can shut myself in my room after my family has been…cast out or whatever it might be…You can't learn that from a politician.

Host Danny Layne, at 18:36 of "Untune the Sky...": We've been living in a kind of metaphysic ontological world that wants to think about identity and subjects and objects and...label things that are always...exactly the way they are...

We can learn to play the scale in a way that produces beauty and the good because we were doing that work of ascending and descending, of valuing the highest of high notes and the lowest of low notes. #philosophy #philsky #Plato #music #Platonism #neoplatonism

Music reminds us that we're not just notes all by ourselves, right? We're not alone, right? We belong to a song and that song is moving and changing...And so that music is also a testament to the living nature of virtue, the good life, what's real, what we can know...

And what we need to do is get to the real and find some sort of methodology that gets us to the real objects, the real world. And one of the things that Sebastian said is something that I have always loved about Neoplatonism, but particularly Platonism

Dr. Sebastian Moro Tornese at 32:12 of the most recent episode of our "Platonic Mysticism" podcast series "Untune the Sky...": as #Alcibiades says in the #Symposium, #Socrates is like a Silenus. He is this ecstatic figure because his words are like #magic. He has this power of #ecstasy.

Host Danny Layne, at 18:36 of "Untune the Sky...": We've been living in a kind of metaphysic ontological world that wants to think about identity and subjects and objects and...label things that are always...exactly the way they are...

Platonism has never been a philosophy of subjects and objects, never been a philosophy where we have to GET to the forms. We are in a radical connectivity, a radical participation. It's a matter of whether or not we can ATTUNE ourselves to them.

Host Danny Layne, at 18:36 of "Untune the Sky...": We've been living in a kind of metaphysic ontological world that wants to think about identity and subjects and objects and...label things that are always...exactly the way they are...

which is the fact that what really is at the heart of it is this dynamism, this living connection, this more mitochondrial networking of relation than things and subjects and objects... This indefinite activity or life that's music...
