Alright mate you are the man.

It's the other way around - flesh-and-blood men and women are merely instantiations of those two fundamental poles. Thus said all the sages.
Again, it's the other way around - all ancient system posit that humankind is an image of the creator.As above so below, indeed.
Can indeed be studied profitably, is not Jewish per se and probably goes back to antediluvian mystery traditions.
Be more humble. It's fine if you cannot into metaphysics - very few people are cut out for it. The peasant tills the field, the warrior stands on the frontlines, the sage contemplates the source.
Psychologisms like that, while sounding smart, are the only thing left for modern man after having forgotten God.
Jewish pseudo-science taken straight from the Talmud and certain strands of Kaballah.
I've never heard so much elitism about fucking nothing before. I'm not going to turn into an autist just because it's the only language you people speak. If you can't say what you want to say in plain English then it's because you don't know what you're talking about. You want me to be "humble" because you want a slower playing field so as to give you time to bloviate. It's the same thing as a sloth asking the world to slow down.
You got any matter on that? I had a brief look once but I didn't explore it any depth because I felt like I didn't have context to know where best to start.
So what's God to you?
Empirically tested Jewish psuedoscience? Are you about to blow my mind with something?
It's not elitism it's just we're not all the same and don't all appreciate the same things but for some reason it pisses you off.
I don't go to football stadiums to screech at fans they're doing something stupid watching a bunch of men pointlessly kicking a ball around which achieves or changes nothing.
I get that they enjoy it even if I don't and leave it at that. Why can't you bro?
All fields worthy of study have their special vocabularies and modes of experience. Physics, medicine, mathematics, engineering… metaphysics is no different.
No, it's because only a small part of reality can actually be communicated in formal language. This isn't even about metaphysics; the same is true for feelings. for sensual perception etc.

No. Either one accepts the antediluvian hypothesis (leading, possibly, to a nephilic origin), or one has to accept that Moses did indeed receive the teachings directly from God on Mt. Sinai.
Dion Fortune's books are an excellent introduction without any recourse to kike-isms.
God IS. The uncreated creator. Distant yet present. Personal yet apersonal. All-knowing, all-powerful etc. etc. Talking about God is like trying to empty the ocean with a spoon, as Augustinus said.
There is NO empirical evidence for relativism. None at all. Relativism is a psy-op designed to divert attention from the results of the Michelson-Morley experiments that showed without a shadow of a doubt that Earth does not move.
Nooo I said Relativity not Relativism. I don't think truth is relative but I do think Relativity is empirically sound so far:
Looks a little kooky but kooky is always fun, thanks.
Sorry, I made an error. I did indeed mean the theory of relativity.
When it comes to (((modern science))), always check the foundational premises first. What is the evidence that something like "black holes" exist in the first place? They are defined as being unobservable, for chrissakes - a punch in the face of every respectable old-school empirical physicist.
You can drive this much further if you have the intellectuall balls for it, e.g. what is the evidence that "space" exists at all? If you go really into this, you will find that this is not as laughable a question as it appears at first sight. Did you know, for example, that the idea of "space" created by a "big bang" "14 billionyears ago" can already be found in the Talmud and certain kabbalistic texts?
Akshually, as you will see, Dion Fortune is very level-headed, cautious, psycho-empirical and anti-new-age.
That's nothing more than an appeal to anger. "You're angry, so you're wrong." It's silly. You're over here saying that you're looking to improve yourself with philosophical insights. Stop getting butthurt just because I'm giving you the philosophical insights that you don't want to accept. You wanted "truth" and you got it. Now what you're experiencing is human folly. Contradiction hurts your fee fees so you imagine to yourself that I'm just evil in an effort to convince yourself that you don't have to think too hard about what I'm telling you. The reason that I'm so aggressive is because I know that every argument is just a clashing of egos. Do you have any idea how many arguments on the internet end with "Oh yes, I was being completely stupid and wrong. I apologize, and I will now change the way that I think."? Practically none. People who are wrong make excuses for themselves and then vacate the discussion when they're frustrated to the point of tears. That's what's happening right now. I'm telling you things that you don't want to hear so now you're latching onto whatever you can in an effort to pretend that what I say is somehow invalid. It's what always happens and I knew that it would happen from the start. That's why I didn't waste any time hoping that I could get you to just choose to call yourself wrong.
Also you've started pressing enter after every sentence again.
Using special vocabulary is one thing, using big words because you're trying to spend as much time saying nothing is another. Doctors have very good reasons for using huge, complicated words. They don't have the privilege of being able to say "The weird cell is bad because it makes us sick" and have it be sufficient. In metaphysics, however, you never EVER have that excuse. The English language is more than capable of accommodating whatever stupid thing you want to say. You can say "The earth is in a black hole and we're all fish people and sleeping makes the sun hate you" and you'll have no trouble. You only run into trouble when you're trying to talk about things that you don't really know about. Then you wind up saying stupid shit like "potentially infinite noumena" and "anthropomorphising fundamental ontological categories of reality." It's because what's being said there would sound completely STUPID if it were put into simpler terms.
