That tendency to return to the Root in matter is literally its uroboros fate and origins as well. Matter is frozen/fallen/imprisoned light, and we are experiencing its zest to become Light in the form of our souls, to become photonic, i.e., timeless and weightless, again. Matter is the actual "self-expression" and "self-exploration" of light, and the whole story of the cosmos is the journey of light to itself, the Light. As de Broglie found out, light is the most refined form of matter! then What's going on? A passage between photonic epoch to photonic epoch. All is Light, exploring IT-self.
Interesting. Are you eastern orthodox?
Somebody forward this to the insufferable Jay Dyer
we need David Bentey Hart on Hot Ones
1:03:43 (the topic of love) Where can we learn more abut love being a power, love is a correctly scientific ontology? I want to follow DBH on that thread of thought. I found that very fascinating. I want to study the argument that love is a real force.
34:00 - my comment as a VFX artist. Some film makers use the same crew and use film instead of digital because they wanted to maintain the friendships and personal connections to craftsman and subject matter experts. We live in a hyper pragmatic age where there is a huge attempt to replace artists with a button that shits out results. My brother and I agree that art isn't just about the end product but the relationships made and the sharing between each-other in making the art.
the idea that interactions lose no energy in reaction is flawed, its only imperceptible due to the scale of difference, the earth does move a minute amount and lose or gain a infinitesimal portion of its momentum on absorbing an asteroid, change the ratio of difference to see that effect. likewise the magnet does lose power of around 1% per year when under HIGH load, a piece of paper in this case is the same scale of difference as the asteroid vs earth, the mechanism is well over build, change the scale to notice the loss. so what is happening? i think the magnets are energized by their environment and would not be magnetic if taken out of the ionic wind of our sun or that which feeds it (EU model plasma-cosmology). we cant forget we are always being fed from interstellar currents thru the solar relay, it is a material function which is active only when interacting with a specific field. the source is the forever unknowable, that which is and gives way to what is. to test this you would have to send a satellite out to deep space, where there would be very little energy flow, with a magnet but if youre in a spot with no flow itll be a tricky thing to communicate the results. not to mention it might take millennia to reach an appropriate location... its hard to imagine thatll get done.
the mention of heat causing degradation of the effect should show it IS material. it is only supposition to say that its unchanged, we know how to magnetize and demagnetize and it has to do with the magnetic poles on the atomic structure creating a cohesive chain so as to not inhibit flux of the already magnetic molecules. under sufficient heat the atoms are forced to bounce around and realign randomly as they cool if not under the influence of a strong magnetic field. this is like the difference between clear ice and ice with bubbles in it, the clear ice is vibrated(fed a field) as it cools to cause alignment, if not you get entropy. to say its power is unchanged is the same folly which leads people to chase the idea of perpetual motion machines, of course theres loss in the pendulum swing, give it time.
13:03 i fully agree, i take slight issue with the wording here as well, "to put form into something", a "thing" is already a form. my understanding of the definition of "information" is that it implies "Energy which is in formation" as was said, whatever form that may be, any perceptible pattern at all. even to inform someone is to shape their thoughts which is the electric impulses in their being, their consciousness. energy can neither be created nor destroyed so if there was a point in past which there was no matter, and then matter arose, it is thru the (god/conscious)energy which existed beyond time and space (if time is the measure of material events and cyclical change and there was nothing to change theres no space/time) which fed into whatever feeds into the Planck field to be made perceivable to create the particles and quarks which lead to space, time and the grand expansion story. its this same energy which pushes the galaxies apart and feeds the stars. so it is in alignment with the "field as formal cause" explanation but it involves all things acting as antenna interacting with the ongoing main field in different ways which output local fields all the while being a complex product of the chain reactions which have risen from this consistent input. this is eletro-mechanics, plasma, particle physics, the particle-wave duality and the dual-slit observer-energy phenomenon... fractal fields.
This conversation brought me quite a lot of joy.
I'm glad
David, why does the Church use adoption language if man is always already both divine and human by nature (i.e., inherently christic)? Aren't we by nature as Christ quotes, "gods, sons of the Most High"?
Well, Romans and Ephesians both use adoption language too. But, of course, even “huiopoiesis” or “huiothesia” is simply a claim made on another person of kindred nature, and it has many shades of application in Greek.
@@leavesinthewind7441It just seems that in the common Orthodox teaching the scales are often tipped to "being made gods by grace" at the expense of the recognition of man's inherent, divine-human nature, as if man could become something that he isn't always already by nature. I can't express how hopeful and appreciative I am to hear what you've shared in these talks. Thank you!
@@Aaron-xb4rqof course it is by grace. But the great error is to imagine that grace and nature are opposed principles. Grace is nothing but the loving restoration of a wounded nature to fullness.
@@leavesinthewind7441 Precisely. With this understanding, would you also say that the purpose of the incarnation was not (as is commonly taught) to unite ontologically separate divine and human natures?

Understand Leibnitz know what gravity is...
Why does no one talk about Leibnitz???
What Hart mentioned concerning paratactic views of information as inadequate for a satisfactory information theory was a recent study on AI to where the less input an AI program such as Chat GPT receives from anything other than itself, chiefly human content, the less reliable and the less coherent it becomes. In short, even information theory presumes a top down entelechy or intentionality that cannot be reduced to a mechanistic, paratactic, expression.

"Whereof one cannot speak, one must remain silent." Thus, in terms of theological knowing anyway, I am neither of Paul nor Apollo, but of Wittgenstein.
Attraction dominates... the most succinct statement I've heard that appears to summarize the final reconciliation of Creation with our triune god.
This is the more comprehensive one.
So much valuable information shared in less than 40 minutes, time for dinner. Too many 2 to 4 hour podcasts that should have stopped for dinner....
Fields are artifacts. They are the artifact of flows in space. Gravity is the prime mover. Gravity creates flows in dielectric super fluid space. Flows in a dielectric create charge separation. A hydrodynamic model can evolve all QFT.
Thank you David for these wonderful lectures. If your reading of Rowan and Jordan is correct, then I am with you and this advances my understanding a good deal in terms of weaving hypostasis and ousia in Christ together with Nicene trinitarian thought AND with creatio ex nihilo and participation (theosis from creation to eschaton through the Son, in the Father’s Loving Embrace/Spirit). I do wish that Cambridge would have managed to get better sound quality on these as there is much that you and others are saying that is very difficult to understand. Nevertheless, thank you so much for these profound gifts.
Hello Sirs, Thanks for TALK and sharing 💞 🤔🧐 🙃🙂 🤗🎉🤗 👣🌌
thanks
Fantastic
Thanks. Can't wait to get the book
Thanks so much for this vastly improved audio!
Man I wish the audio were better. So hard to follow, and of course when you miss even one word in a sentence on these sorts of lectures, you can miss the whole point.
I love continental philosophy DBH but I REALLY love Christian theologian and translator DBH!
Is there a pdf transcription (actual) of these presentations?
Can this be done with AI?
".....the fields of living ....." Songs from Liquid Days: No. 5, Liquid Days, Pt. 2, Open the Kingdom Lyrics by David Byrne
David, does Satan (if he exists) go out of his way to ensure that the majority of videos where you speak possess audio corruptions and problems (not just this outing but most that have gone before, for years now)? Technical problems would seem to follow you way too often as we strain to follow the movements of your erudition and understanding...
No question. DBH videos have the best quality content and worst quality audio on KZread.
Did anyone else get 6 adverts in the first 15 minutes? I ask because a lot of creators don’t realise that KZread is filling their videos with ads.
There shouldn’t be any.
@@leavesinthewind7441 They’re sneaking ads onto videos without the creator’s permission, David. This has happened to a few channels I’m subscribed to. There maybe something in the creator’s studio that you have to switch, or maybe contact KZread, I’m not sure.
@@onepartyrouleI’ll look into it.
dr. Hart, you look very fresh!
You don't become more Christ-like by having an orthodox Christology. Those who anathematize persons who lack an orthodox Christology are by definition not Christ-like.
On a related note, the term Orthodox Phronema is used by cradle Orthodox to make converts feel bad.
I Am Eternal.... I Am Omnipresent.... I Am Spirit.... I Am Christ.... I Am God!! Mortal belief is the exaltation of self above God, and this spirit is fostered by the continual returns you make upon your own doings and misdoings, which leaves no place in your mind for the occupation of GOD/Enternal Life also known as the Secret Place of the Most High! I and the Father are One because Spirit is the Only Presence!
thanks again
There is no South Pole! Only north!
The Spirit is one and the same, divine nature is human and human nature is divine. Jesus Christ is is the manifestation of this reality which is true also for us
Thankyou for this ❤ Rupert looks well and relaxed. Gets me wondering; might we think of the mystical body of Christ as a subtly organising and attracting field, the logos, the dharmakaya as a field, the holy spirit as a subtly organising and attracting field ...
Fantastic thanks! Loved the series.
I don’t think there was anything more disappointing in my physics education than finding out that there’s no explanation for magnetic dipoles in current dominant theories of physics. Idk if Dennett and co. hope for physics to somehow come around and offer accounts of that would satisfy a Leibniz or Descartes. But I think that the fact that things like this aren’t even considered problems shows that no one is concerned about arriving at such a theory as the terminus.
thanks for all these
one of many known Quantum Components is "Direction" ; some of these quantum components are used in materials science; anyway "Direction" is a component and is prominent in iron (and cobalt, nickel); ; it is hard to explain but the Quantum Components are the most powerful quantities known, literally like a "first system" in interactions and form the basis of Quantum Mechanics Simulations in industrial applications
It’s water
DBH looking good
Seriously looks like he’s lost a ton of weight. Very good to see him healthy.
Most excellent. I look forward to building upon this. Thank you. I'm a gardener and energy worker, working with order, balance and harmony. I witness the ease, within which order balance and harmony move. Abundant, light and fast in generation . And it seems we've overlooked ease as a powerful foundation, ignorng its expression of strength, and that we've missed the vitality of growth within this platform. Easy is not peasy. It seems like a specific place or state, or field, allowed through a combination of surrender and liberation. We need to practice this ease. 😊 Thank you again.
When will the “For Dummies” version of the lecture be available? 😮. And for much of Hart’s published work as well …
Never, but familiarising yourself with the metaphysical and theological terrain by reading and listening to those of scholastic lineage, and conversing with those doing the same, over several years, should be sufficient to follow him in all but the most particular details.
Some of his books are for gen pub and some are more academic books. Experience of god is for general public, it may seem hard but it’s actually very patient and repeats key ideas very often and you can keep rereading it, it’s not obscure keep at it.
