I initially posted this video New Years eve while into my second whiskey. It’s entirely off the cuff so please forgive any rambling and digression. I think it gets going at about the halfway mark.
Thanks for making it through 2020 with me. I have new videos incoming and big plans for this year.
Don’t worry, I’m still here. Work on the comic book is moving forward – albeit slowly.
If you’re looking for something to do in the meantime, consider joining my new MeWe group: The Free Magicians’ Network
This group exists to provided a refuge for libertarian, conservative, free-market anarchist and classic liberals with a shared interest in magic, theurgy and esoteric practice.
This will put a pin in my Stoic videos for the time being. We may circle back to Stoicism later but for now its time to move on. I want to thank everyone who has watched the videos and especially those of you who have shared your questions and comments.
Next up for me is a comic book / graphic novel with the aforementioned Jon from Logical Anarchy. I’ll post updates here as a I have them.
One request I received on my YouTube channel was an explanation of Stoic practice and application. How do you go beyond watching videos and use this stuff in your life? I’ve come up with a simple 5 step heuristic.
Primary sources
Scholarly analysis
Attention and application
Special Tools
Writing
Meditation
Asceticism
Eternal Return
Relevant to that, I have an Amazon Idea list of recommended Stoic reading.
Whew! I really dragged my feet on this one but, by popular request, here’s a video tour through the history of the Stoic school – from approximately 300 BC to 500 AD.
I was a little tired shooting this one and at one point my notes just ran out abruptly so I had to go off script. See you all next week!
I FINALLY got around to posting another video on my YouTube channel, in case anyone follows me here for these updates. This one inspired by a recent conversation I got in over on the Traditional Stoicism FB Page. I hope you find it useful.
I’m going to check all the great feedback I’ve gotten to date, and if there’s enough material I’ll do a quick Stoic Q&A video.
Otherwise the video channel will move on to another topic. Thanks for all the great questions and of course just for watching. If you want to parley you can find me at https://parler.com/profile/GreatNoontide/posts, in addition to here, YouTube and my FB page.
This one is a little dry, but wait for the Easter egg at the end!
Sorry about the awkward jump cut at the conclusion. My focus was starting to wane and I don’t want to take the time to re-shoot. Hopefully the next video will be a little cleaner.
