Alfred Korzybski, General Semantics, Breaking Down The Aristotelian Laws of Thought.

In part 2 of the General Semantics Series, we talk through the basis for how we abstract and think. The Aristotelian Laws of Thought and how they shape our everyday life and the way we see things.

What are they? How is our interaction with the world and worldview functionally shaped by them?

Is there a way to hack this and reduce negative impacts, internally and internally, through exercising scepticism of these laws?

This and much more in this episode.

This week we are privileged to speak with Dr. Rolph Sattler, author of "Science and Beyond: Toward Greater Sanity Through Science, Philosophy, Art and Spirituality". Please support Rolf and purchase this wonderful book, it's definitely worth your time if you wish to understand the true underpinnings of how we understand the word and ourselves. Link here:

https://www.amazon.com/Science-Beyond-Greater-Philosophy-Spirituality/dp/1039102972

Link to Rolf's website:

Rolf's premise is as follows - Science, coupled with technology, has become the dominant force in most parts of the world. Thus, it affects our lives and society in many ways. Yet, misconceptions about science are widespread in governments, the general public, and even among many scientists. Science and Beyond explores these misconceptions that may have grave and even disastrous consequences for individuals and society as was evident during the COVID-19 pandemic, where they led to much unnecessary suffering, sickness, and death.

The misconceptions also obscure the limitations of science. Not seeing these limitations prevents us from seeing and going beyond them, which leads to a crippled life and an impoverished society. But reaching beyond the limitations of science, as outlined in this book, can open the doors to a more fulfilled, saner, healthier, happier, and more peaceful life and society.

This is something I can get behind, as you all know I steer towards skepticism of mind-body duality, an obsession with abstraction and word use. Korzybski and Rolf offer excellent ways of viewing the problem, and ways that you can try to gain a little sanity in your own life, while the world around you seems to become ever more "unsane".

Well, what a show. We spoke with Wolfe, a student of the occult and the late great Joseph Lisiewski.

Wolfe got in contact with me after hearing my episode with Mark Stavish. Wolfe wanted to set the record straight regarding a few things, and offer his own insights on Joe and on the magical path, as Joe set it out.

While it is reccomended maybe to listen to the episode Mark Stavish did on Joe Lisiewski, it is not necessary.

We talk Joe, Evocation of Spirits to Physical Manifestation and the use of Grimoires in theurgy, or otherwise, Laboratory Alchemy, and much more.

Wolfe was a spirited chap with a great laugh and a passion for his path, and some of the stories presented here are equal parts terrifying and enlightening.

Shedding some light on a path that almost no one in the world can, or has the will to practice anymore.

Alfred Korzybski, the Verb "To Be" & English Prime - Use Case for General Semantics & ePrime: Part 1 of a 4 part series

Part 1 of a series on the problems with the verb 'to be' within the context of the English language, our own take on how a simple linguistic feature contributes to personal and civilisational "insanity".

This being only one element of Korzybski's entire work, and not intended as a detailed overview of general semantics and Alfred Korzybski. Instead, in part 1, we focus on the "verb to be" or the so-called "is-ness of identity and what a simple adjustment in verbal style could achieve, in thinking of ourselves and others. further parts coming 2 days a part over the coming weeks.

This week I'm reflecting on something momentous and yet so simple, in my own journey. Something everyone can also benefit from looking into. And that is the fact we have no head. I also share an exercise devised by Harding, you can try yourself to see that you also do not have a head. Subscribe for more videos like this, and many more to come.

This week we talk about reinstalling the most important of all biological reflexes...

I share my experiences and thoughts on Hara.

Hara is the Japanese word referencing "the belly," specifically the lower abdomen - literally referred to as the "abdominal heart."

This presentation is about the restoration of Hara. An inarguable pre-cursor to a balanced, fearless, and centred individual consitution.

Look out for the YouTube version of this, to be released this week. Appreciate all subscription to YouTube, fast becoming the main hub for content for SOFCast.

Look out for the link to the list of exercises coming next week.

This week we catch up with sail cargo expert Captain Jorne Langelaan whom is developing and launching a line of emission-free, square-rigged fleet of sail ships. We talk the philosophy and structure of his venture, and talk lessons learnt from cargo by sail’s rich history, aiming to scale up the successes of the newly emerged sailing cargo ships.

Cargo has been transported under sail for thousands of years. Through this time the working ships developed, culminating in the fast square-rigged clippers in the mid-19th Century. Since the motorisation of sea freight, sailing boats have seen huge technological advances both in their rig and hull, optimised for sport and pleasure. Although this has led to modern materials and faster, lighter designs, moving cargo requires different technology.

I was privileged to have prolific scientist and author Stephanie Seneff, PhD on with me to discuss the politically charged and thus rather confusing issue of mRNA vaccines for covid-19/

Much of the material you will hear spoken about references a research paper Stephanie published with co-author Greg Nigh in the “International Journal of Vaccine Theory, Practice and Research”, to which I have linked. It is a highly technical entry if you’re a pleb like me, however still worth reading for understanding the true extent of exactly how little we understand about what might happen as a result of implementing these new and mostly untested technologies.

Dr. Seneff has an intimidating academic record as a senior research scientist at MIT, where she has had continuous affiliation for more than five decades. After receiving four degrees from MIT in Biophysics,Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, she conducted research in packet-switched networks, computational modelling of the human auditory system, natural language processing and spoken dialogue systems,.

Stephanie is Currently a Senior Research Scientist, being MIT’s highest research rank at the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. For over a decade, since 2008, she has directed her attention towards the role of nutrition and environmental toxicants on human disease, with a special emphasis on the herbicide glyphosate. And here we continue very much in the same vein, links to books as follows:

This week we have scholar Rodney Blackhirst on to discuss his excellent short essay, "Concerning the Mysteries of Wine & Spiritual transformation", where he synthesises themes of use and symbolism of wine in Islamic and Christian society.

Rodney Blackhirst lectured in Philosophy and Religious Studies at La Trobe University for the past decade, until recently. He has diverse interests in philosophy, cosmology and religion. He specializes in the Greek tradition and the monotheistic faiths. His doctorate re-examined the mystical foundations of Plato's dialogue, Timaeus. Dr. Blackhirst is a regular contributor to journals such as Sacred Web.

Rodney's blog is here:
