Description: This is a fan restoration of a scene from South Park Season 14 Ep 6 titled "201." The original censored both depiction as well as mention of Muhammad after threats from radicals lead to fear and concern from Comedy Central. The episode was banned after the initial broadcast. The uncensored audio leaked online in 2014.

"Religion is the opium of the people." — Karl Marx German: "Die Religion [...] ist das Opium des Volkes" Full sentence (with context): "Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people."

Funnily enough, Eckhart did mention the humanist movement, in one of his videos. He related this to a period of more awareness and awakening that was brought to the masses.

Somewhere, Steven Kotler compares a flow state to satori. From skimming this wiki page, I don't see it. He did some research into mystical traditions and came to this conclusion. He describes flow as a glimmer of awakening which he distinguishes from (stages of) enlightenment. Satori is obviously awakening and is clearly linked to some stage of enlightenment.

dormant implies something deeper than sleep, like turning off a computer or going into hibernation. Insects go dormant over the winter, and a television is dormant when it is turned off. Dormant also has the subtext of waiting. Those insects are dormant waiting for the spring.Asleep is just the normal act of sleeping
Postmodern theology emphasizes that God, or the idea of God, is subject to human interpretation. It is influenced by deconstructionists such as Jacques Derrida, the German idealist Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, Christian existentialists including Soren Kierkegaard and Paul Tillich, and philosopher Martin Heidegger.
Christian atheism is an ideology that embraces the teachings, narratives, symbols, practices, or communities associated with Christianity without accepting the literal existence of God. It often overlaps with nontheism and post-theism.
New Atheism advocates the view that superstition, religion, and irrationalism should not be tolerated. Instead, they advocate the antitheist view that the various forms of theism should be criticised, countered, examined, and challenged by rational argument, especially when they exert strong influence on the broader society, such as in government, education, and politics.[3][4]

A lot of Islamic influence. Din-i Ilahi is Arabic/Persian which denotes "Oneness of God"(referring to tawhid). See how this might relate to wahdat al-wujud (Oneness of Being in Sufi metaphysics). The Mongols have historically been tolerant towards a lot of religions (a proto-perennialist philosophy?).

Guilt pride is something of a modern construction. Unlike Walsers, who experienced his guilt (because he served in WW2 under the Nazis), most Germans haven't experienced WW2. Guilt pride is thus an attempt to build a new collective identity for Germany, devoid of any authenticity (instead hinges more on profilicity).

25:00 Why attend an art history class then when you are so sensitive of images being depicted (decent argument)? 27:00 cancel culture at college campuses (evolution being taught creationist becoming mad example) 29:25 Tension between intellectual discomfort and harm (notion of safe spaces as being a problem). 31:00 Illiberal left as sketching good vs evil and claiming moral superoprity. Here, leftist claim to be inclusive, but in fact, they are exclusive .
16:30 "But the only fatwa that has, in fact, said that no images of Mohammed are permitted, and that includes Islamic paintings, not just the cartoons, came out in 2013 in Saudi Arabia by a Salafi cleric whose name is Al-Munajid. And there are other fatwas like Asistani, the Shi'i cleric, who says these images are perfectly fine, as long as they're respectful."
20:00 Fatwas can be issued (like the above) in a vacuum without any real conversation within the Islamic community. Few years back even building a snowman fatwa as haram. Animals are decapitated in Saudi textbooks. People in 20th century having 14th century book that depicts a head, decapitating it (al-ras).
15:30 The advent of media allowing for more images to be produced of the prophet. This in turn led to more anxiety under the Islamic community. See The Message (and the other movies) as examples of this increase of anxiety.
05:00 Gruber discusses how the canon should be decolonised (how eurocentrism should be replaced with different centres of interests) and how showing the prophet actually contributes to that purpose (including 14th century Iran that portrays these depictions of Muhammad).
07:30 Wow, interesting point: The people back then struggled with the question of how to depict prophetic and divine figures. How to do that? Certain anxieties underlying this.
08:30 A week before the incident, Lopez showed art in India and of the Buddha and so on. A whole course on how the divine is presented, and struggled with, in different regions and cultures, other than the West (an Eurocentric view).
Behind the Hamline University Incident — with Erika López Prater and Christiane Gruber
Both Gruber and Prater are art historians.
Severe lack of context of the incident, and the historical context of portraying Mohammed, is very evident here. The imam says "that we Muslims don't show images of the prophet" which is partially true, some Muslims don't. An interesting parallel with the general outcry of support for the teacher.
Jaylani Hussein says that most Muslims don't support portraying the prophet, whilst acknowledging that some do. (But portraying the prophet thus is not good). Even says it is Islamophobia at 2:00
"The president of the Muslim student association" Aram Wedetella also in the class speaks up.

Hamline incident discussed at Fox News. Muslim community honors Prophet Muhammad after incident at Hamline University
04:30 Question of how these images are now marginalised in the Islamic community. Came from the Ottoman Empire? Safi blames the rise of Salafi and Wahhabi movements. These images seem to portray mainly the mi'raj, ie spiritual and mystical dimensions. And the prophet portrayed in companion with other prophets (ie the universality of Islam).
"We believe in academic freedom, but it should not and cannot be used to excuse away behavior that harms others." (STATEMENT FROM HAMLINE UNIVERSITY) The above statements shows the struggle that Hamline faced when deciding to fire Erika Lopez Prater. A tension between academic freedom and insulting others.
1:05 A good point by Safi is that the statements of the director was assuming that the freedom of speech was in direct opposition to the feelings of Muslims. This is not the case. A difference between iconical devotion within the Islamic tradition (both Sunni and Shia) and Charlie Hebdo examples.
03:00 Both to respect students and expand their horizons. Not everyone needs to agree with it.
Omid Safi on CNN Jake Tapper January 9th 2023 on images of Prophet Muhammad (controversy at Hamline)
100. “Allah is All-Knower” and has full knowledge of the mischief worked by Satan and of its effects, and being All- Wise, He counteracts every mischief of Satan.
(22:52) Never did We send a Messenger or a Prophet[96] before you (O Muhammad), but that whenever he had a desire,[97] Satan interfered with that desire.[98] Allah eradicates the interference of Satan and strengthens His Signs.[99] Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.[100]

The Farewell Sermon is also delivered.
The last speech by the prophet in the movie
Khalid ibn Walid, a Meccan general who has killed many Muslims, converts to Islam.
Oww, so the first convert from the Meccan side was Khalid ibn Walid in the movie.
The film begins with Muhammad sending an invitation to accept Islam to the surrounding rulers: Heraclius, the Byzantine Emperor; Muqawqis, the Patriarch of Alexandria; Kisra, the Sasanian Emperor.
The international ensemble cast includes Anthony Quinn, Irene Papas, Michael Ansara, Johnny Sekka, Michael Forest, André Morell, Garrick Hagon, Damien Thomas, and Martin Benson.
Cast of the movie. They spoke English (and are indeed English actors).
The Message (Arabic: الرسالة, Ar-Risālah; originally known as Mohammad, Messenger of God) is a 1976 epic film directed and produced by Moustapha Akkad that chronicles the life and times of Muhammad, who is never directly depicted.[4]
Bahira (Arabic: بَحِيرَىٰ, Classical Syriac: ܒܚܝܪܐ) is the name in Islamic tradition of a Christian monk who is said to have foretold Muhammad's prophethood when they met while Muhammad was accompanying his uncle Abu Talib on a trading trip.[1][2] There are several versions of the story, with elements that contradict each other.[3] All accounts of Bahira and his meeting with Muhammad have been deemed fictitious by modern historians[4][5][6][7][8][9][10] as well as by some medieval Muslim scholars, such as al-Dhahabi.
The story ends with Muhammad's journey to Syria and encounter with Bahira.[7]
The image of Muhammad presented here seems to be of a prophet/messiah. Someone that is destined to salvage the human race. Interesting parallels with the Twelve Imams?
Addressing the associated controversies, Majidi said, "The film contains no controversies and no differences between the Shia and the Sunni points of view."[8]
In the beginning of the film, a message appears that states the film encompasses historical facts as well as free personal impressions about Muhammad. Accordingly, some of the film's events did not actually take place in real life, but are indeed similar to events in Muhammad's biography.[6] Majidi stated that the objective behind presenting these scenes is to show that the whole existence could feel Muhammad's presence as well as his mercy.
Interesting. This is a general problem with historical movies. There is almost no such thing as objectivity. By making a movie, you make choices, you select what makes the cut and what doesn't. and by doing so, you form a certain image of the prophet, in this case. The free personal impressions of Majid are in fact a way to represent a certain image of Muhammad.
From what I have read, Majid is blamed for putting forward a Shi'ite Muhammed forward in the movie. Perhaps his free personal impressions are expressed in this regard?
By the order of Abraha, King of Habasha, one of his army commanders launches an attack on Mecca in order to destroy the Kaaba. He leads a well-equipped force of thousands of soldiers, horses and elephants. As the army approaches Mecca, the elephants respond to divine order by halting and refusing to continue. Millions of small birds then release a hail of stones onto Abraha's forces and the army is annihilated. A month later, Muhammad is born. The film depicts pre-Islamic Arabia as seen through the eyes of Muhammad from birth to the age of 13.[1]
The film marks the highest-budget production in Iranian cinema to date.[3]
Muhammad: The Messenger of God (Persian: محمد رسولالله, romanized: Mohammad Rasulollah) is a 2015 Iranian Islamic epic film directed by Majid Majidi and co-written with Kambuzia Partovi. Set in the sixth century, the plot revolves around the childhood of the Islamic prophet Muhammad.
The common swift (Apus apus) is a medium-sized bird, superficially similar to the barn swallow or house martin but somewhat larger, though not stemming from those passerine species, being in the order Apodiformes. The resemblances between the groups are due to convergent evolution, reflecting similar contextual development. The swifts' nearest relatives are the New World hummingbirds and the Southeast Asian treeswifts.
These birds are mentioned as ebabil in Surah al-Fil.

Narrated An-Nu`man bin Bashir:Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "You see the believers as regards their being merciful among themselves and showing love among themselves and being kind, resembling one body, so that, if any part of the body is not well then the whole body shares the sleeplessness (insomnia) and fever with it." حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّاءُ، عَنْ عَامِرٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ النُّعْمَانَ بْنَ بَشِيرٍ، يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " تَرَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِي تَرَاحُمِهِمْ وَتَوَادِّهِمْ وَتَعَاطُفِهِمْ كَمَثَلِ الْجَسَدِ إِذَا اشْتَكَى عُضْوًا تَدَاعَى لَهُ سَائِرُ جَسَدِهِ بِالسَّهَرِ وَالْحُمَّى ". Reference : Sahih al-Bukhari 6011
Prophet Muhammed in Sahih el-Bukhari how the ummah is like one (human) body. When one part hurts, the whole body hurts.
A locking in video that emphasises Andrew Tate. See other video asking the question who these people that consume this watch up to. Andrew Tate seems to be an example. These vids probably also relate to red pill, masculinity (also online business scene?).

A winter arc edit. A search on YouTube has dozens of these (AI probably makes it even worse).
I have nothing against them. They do seem to present a new worldview of sorts. Is it really grounded and substantial though? What are the people that they look up to? Andrew Tate and David Goggins?
Terms like locking in, ghosting, monk mode, winter arc, are common in the self-improvement scene on YouTube. A period of extreme focus and isolation to go deep into something.
Another spin (02:00) is that of an almost monk like quality. That of self discovery and inner transformation. So these terms have both a productive and (spiritual) transformational spin to them. I remember Tarik (friend) saying to me that you should become unrecognisable in these three months. Literally becoming something else (ie transformation).

1:11:30 Anxiety is largely invisible whereas depression and the like are more visible.
1:04:00 What a beautiful story about how Dr. Ali Mattu started to realise his social anxiety was bullshit. Even the cool guy was doubting himself after his talk. This didn't matchup with Ali his perception of the situation (Ali thought he was swagger).
1:08:30 "Surprising" the mind in social situations is an opportunity to rewire the brain, change its anxious associations. These moments of "surprise" are also related to neuroplasticity
1:07:30 The mind prioritises emotional information.
57:00 Social anxiety results in actual bad social performance. In turn, this feeds the social anxiety even more, completing a loop of sorts. Again, trying to be social, or not to be awkward, results in being worse at the thing. (refer back to other HealthyGamer video for similar idea)
46:00 Social anxiety as "disordered attention" (HealthyGamer) where we fixate on certain signals too much. It warps incoming information. Positive signals are filtered out and attention is fixated on negative information.
54:00 "Distorting the flow of information" (also see Mihaly jump) Information is internal based rather than external (because attention is internally directed rather than externally).
Reminds me of Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi his notion of psychic entropy where consciousness is essentially disordered. One can say that social anxiety contributes to entropy.
45:00 Social anxiety as more of an attention problem than it is an emotional problem.
Also see other HealthyGamerGG on how directing attention can help with awkwardness https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTrCLOyoRq8
The Roots of Social Anxiety... ft. Dr. Ali Mattu
0:40/2:40 Trying not to be awkward leads to being awkward. Thus the awkwardness arises from the desire to not be awkward (paradox of trying). Not being awkward is more about where attention and awareness goes, than it being about doing something about it.

24:00 Nick points out that he wants to leave people "... more curious and connected" [purpose]. So, he can talk about topics beyond note-making, since they still convey his message.
I am much reminded of people like Max Reisinger here, who show their vulnerability in their content, making it more real and authentic (note: Max did make a video outlining that YT became a persona of sorts, where he had to try to show vulnerability, which wasn't really what he was doing day to day).
Nick seems to/want to show more vulnerability, talk about more diverse topics (like Jungian psychology), making it, in my opinion, ultimately more mature and authentic content. I was becoming allergic to some creators, probably because they weren't doing this?

Don't take this fool seriously. He starts out with saying that taswwuf is bidah. Then, he says that sufism has become even more crazy, by becoming mystic. He also says that these teachers are money makers. Isn't he, himself, a money maker? He obviously has a different background in Islam, but the way he responds to the question seem full of hatred.
This becomes even more clear at 2:30, where he says that tasawwuf "... has nothing to do with Islam. You wanna become a muslim? Leave these deviant sects alone."
04:00 Allen compares GTD to F1, here. Funnily enough, the most productive people are the ones that get most into GTD. Similarly, the fastest people, in F1, want to get even faster, "by reducing drag in the system".

06:30 Reaching goals isn't the point. Goals structures one's consciousness (give direction, perspective, clarity). Wanting certainty for a goal doesn't matter as much.
The Fastest Way To Achieve Literally Anything (You'll Never Feel Lost Again)
Gottfried Benn’s Ikarus is unmistakably a description of the Brueghel painting, “Landscape with the Fall of Icarus,” which is patiently described in the poem.
Gottfried Benn his poem Ikarus (1915) as inspired by the work of Brueghel)
Heraclitus (“?? ????? ??? ??? ????? ?????,” goes a line attributed to him, “Everything flows, nothing stands still.”
I suspect Gottfried Benn, who approaches these things with the trained diagnostic eye of a doctor does. Who is the person speaking in his poem? Is it, as I imagine, the shepard with curiously Breughel-like features gazing heavenwards? In any event, the inner theme here is dislocation (daß ich hinrinne, a Hoffmansthal formulation; entstirnt), an individual losing consciousness of his Self and flowing into the all.
Is Gottfried Benn his Ikarus (1915) a mystical work?
Literary interpretation has considered the myth of Icarus as a consequence of excessive ambition.[27] An Icarus-related study of the Daedalus myth was published by the French hellenist Françoise Frontisi-Ducroux.[28] In psychology, there have been synthetic studies of the Icarus complex with respect to the alleged relationship between fascination for fire, enuresis, high ambition, and Ascensionism.[29] The term Icarus complex is defined by NGHIALAGI.net as, "A form of overcompensation wherein an individual, due to feelings of inferiority, formulates grandiose aspirations for future achievement despite lacking proper talent, experience, and/or personal connections. Such a person often exhibits elitism fueled by hubris and detachment from social reality."[30] In the psychiatric mind, features of disease were perceived in the shape of the pendulous emotional ecstatic-high and depressive-low of bipolar disorder. Henry Murray having proposed the term Icarus complex, apparently found symptoms particularly in mania where a person is fond of heights, fascinated by both fire and water, narcissistic and observed with fantastical or far-fetched imaginary cognition.[31][32] Seth Godin's 2012 The Icarus Deception, points to the historical change in how Western culture both propagated and interpreted the Icarus myth arguing that "We tend to forget that Icarus was also warned not to fly too low, because seawater would ruin the lift in his wings. Flying too low is even more dangerous than flying too high, because it feels deceptively safe."[33] Each study and analysis of the myth agrees Icarus was too ambitious for his own good.
Still to annotate this.
According to scholia on Euripides, Icarus thought himself greater than Helios, the Sun himself, and the god punished him by directing his powerful rays at him, melting the beeswax. Afterwards, it was Helios who named the Icarian Sea after Icarus.[10]
Was Icarus punished by the gods because he thought himself greater than them (Helios)?
After Theseus, king of Athens and enemy of Minos, escaped from the labyrinth, King Minos suspected that Icarus and Daedalus had revealed the labyrinth's secrets and imprisoned them—either in a large tower overlooking the ocean or the labyrinth itself, depending upon the account.[1][2] Icarus and Daedalus escaped using wings Daedalus constructed from feathers, threads from blankets, clothes, and beeswax.[3] Daedalus warned Icarus first of complacency and then of hubris, instructing him to fly neither too low nor too high, lest the sea's dampness clog his wings or the sun's heat melt them.[3] Icarus ignored Daedalus's instructions not to fly too close to the sun, causing the beeswax in his wings to melt. Icarus fell from the sky, plunged into the sea, and drowned. The myth gave rise to the idiom, "fly too close to the sun." In some versions of the tale, Daedalus and Icarus escape by ship.[1][4]
Minos suspected Theseus and Daedalus gave the secrets of the labyrinth to Ariadne/Theseus. They were imprisoned. They escaped via wings that Daedalus constructed. Icarus was instructed to not fly too high or too low. Too high, and his wings would be burnt. Too low, and his wings would dampen. Icarus flew too close to the sun, and plunged into the ocean. Hence the idiom "fly too close to the sun".

Maurits differentiates "getting rich quick" with "getting rich easy". Getting rich easy doesn't happen, getting rich quick can, with concentrated effort.
Death in Venice (German: Der Tod in Venedig) is a novella by German author Thomas Mann, published in 1912.[1]
Ulysses moves through four emotional stages that are self-revelatory, not ironic: beginning with his rejection of the barren life to which he has returned in Ithaca, he then fondly recalls his heroic past, recognizes the validity of Telemachus' method of governing, and with these thoughts plans another journey.[9]
See Ulysses in relation to cycle in Romanticism: alienation, desire, transfiguration. Journeying for him is a way to transfigure
Culler himself views "Ulysses" as a dialectic in which the speaker weighs the virtues of a contemplative and an active approach to life;[8]
The ironic interpretations of "Ulysses" may be the result of the modern tendency to consider the narrator of a dramatic monologue as necessarily "unreliable".
Scholars disagree on how Ulysses' speech functions in this format; it is not necessarily clear to whom Ulysses is speaking, if anyone, and from what location. Some see the verse turning from a soliloquy to a public address, as Ulysses seems to speak to himself in the first movement, then to turn to an audience as he introduces his son, and then to relocate to the seashore where he addresses his mariners.[5]
To whom does Ulysses speak to?
Ulysses has returned to his kingdom, Ithaca, having made a long journey home after fighting in the Trojan War. Confronted again by domestic life, Ulysses expresses his lack of contentment, including his indifference toward the "savage race" (line 4) whom he governs. Ulysses contrasts his present restlessness with his heroic past, and contemplates his old age and eventual death
For much of this poem's history, readers viewed Ulysses as resolute and heroic, admiring him for his determination "To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield".[1] The view that Tennyson intended a heroic character is supported by his statements about the poem, and by the events in his life—the death of his closest friend—that prompted him to write it. In the twentieth century, some new interpretations of "Ulysses" highlighted potential ironies in the poem. They argued, for example, that Ulysses wishes to selfishly abandon his kingdom and family, and they questioned more positive assessments of Ulysses' character by demonstrating how he resembles flawed protagonists in earlier literature.
Is Ulysses a heroic poem? Or, is it selfishness?
Most critics, however, find that Tennyson's Ulysses recalls Dante's Ulisse in his Inferno (c. 1320).

Alfred, Lord Tennyson, author of "Ulysses", portrayed by George Frederic Watts "Ulysses" is a poem in blank verse by the Victorian poet Alfred, Lord Tennyson (1809–1892), written in 1833 and published in 1842 in his well-received second volume of poetry. An oft-quoted poem, it is a popular example of the dramatic monologue. Facing old age, mythical hero Ulysses describes his discontent and restlessness upon returning to his kingdom, Ithaca, after his far-ranging travels. Despite his reunion with his wife Penelope and his son Telemachus, Ulysses yearns to explore again.

Odysseus has traditionally been viewed as Achilles' antithesis in the Iliad:[35] while Achilles' anger is all-consuming and of a self-destructive nature, Odysseus is frequently viewed as a man of the mean, a voice of reason, renowned for his self-restraint and diplomatic skills.
Odysseus as antithesis of Achilles.
Perhaps, Odysseus represent more order, reason, thus logos? Whereas, Achilles is more impulsive, but very powerful, thus more Mythos?
When Helen of Troy is abducted, Menelaus calls upon the other suitors to honour their oaths and help him to retrieve her, an attempt that leads to the Trojan War.
He is most famous for his nostos, or "homecoming", which took him ten eventful years after the decade-long Trojan War.

Odysseus also plays a key role in Homer's Iliad and other works in that same epic cycle.[2]
Helen (Ancient Greek: Ἑλένη, romanized: Helénē[a]), also known as Helen of Troy,[2][3][b] in Latin as Helena,[4] beautiful Helen, Helen of Argos, or Helen of Sparta,[5] was a figure in Greek mythology said to have been the most beautiful woman in the world. She was believed to have been the daughter of Zeus and Leda, and was the sister of Clytemnestra, Castor and Pollux, Philonoe, Phoebe and Timandra. She was married to King Menelaus of Sparta "who became by her the father of Hermione, and, according to others, of Nicostratus also."[4] Her abduction by Paris of Troy was the most immediate cause of the Trojan War.

Enthusiasm – In enthusiasm – or possession – God is understood to be outside, other than or beyond the believer. A sacred power, being or will enters the body or mind of an individual and possesses it. A person capable of being possessed is sometimes called a medium. The deity, spirit or power uses such a person to communicate to the immanent world
Enthusiasm as a possession by a god. The human functions as the medium for communication (for the god wants to communicate something).
Lewis argues that ecstasy and possession are basically one and the same experience, ecstasy being merely one form which possession may take. The outward manifestation of the phenomenon is the same in that shamans appear to be possessed by spirits, act as their mediums, and even though they claim to have mastery over them, can lose that mastery
Ecstasy and possession (enthusiasm) as being the same.
Ecstasy, trance – In ecstasy the believer is understood to have a soul or spirit which can leave the body. In ecstasy the focus is on the soul leaving the body and to experience transcendental realities. This type of religious experience is characteristic for the shaman.
Ecstasy and trance as religious experience
Skeptics may hold that religious experience is an evolved feature of the human brain amenable to normal scientific study.
Can religious experiences be made scientific? That which is beyond thought (and is wholly subjective)?
See Steven Kotler referencing flow science as making the supernatural ("A gift from gods") into science.
Many religious and mystical traditions see religious experiences (particularly the knowledge which comes with them) as revelations caused by divine agency rather than ordinary natural processes. They are considered real encounters with God or gods, or real contact with higher-order realities of which humans are not ordinarily aware.[5
Religious experience as a revelation. As coming into contact with god(s) or other supernatural beings.
A religious experience (sometimes known as a spiritual experience, sacred experience, mystical experience) is a subjective experience which is interpreted within a religious framework.[1] The concept originated in the 19th century, as a defense against the growing rationalism of Western society.[2] William James popularised the concept.[2] In some religions, this may result in unverified personal gnosis.[3][4]
Religious experience (also mystical) emerged as a concept in te 19th century due to the dominant discourse of rationalism in the West.
See William James, but also Rilke who had a religious experience when going to Russia (and probably many others).
The Book of Hours was largely developed at the artist’s colony at Worpswede, but finished in Paris. It displays the turn towards mystical religiosity that was developing in the poet, in contrast to the naturalism popular at the time, after the religious inspiration he experienced in Russia. Soon thereafter, however, Rilke developed a highly practical approach to writing, encouraged by Rodin’s emphasis on objective observation. This rejuvenated inspiration resulted in a profound transformation of style, from the subjective and mystical incantations to his famous Ding-Gedichte, or thing-poems, that were published in the New Poems.
Naturalism was prevalent in the time of Rilke (circa 1900s). Rilke, however, had a mystical experience in Russia? (did he literally have an experience of unity and bliss?) He combined this mysticism with the objectivity that he learned from Auguste Rodin.
As a result, his writing had a mystical and objective bent to it. How exactly? Was this also present in his Apollo poems (1907)?
he combined subjective mysticism with precise observation of the objective world.
Rilke combined mysticism with objectivity. A weird combination.
Rainer Maria Rilke (December 4, 1875–December 29, 1926)
Biography of Rainer Maria Rilke, Austrian Poet
The Miletus torso (c. 480–470 BC) at the Louvre has been suggested as the poem's subject. "Archaic Torso of Apollo" (German: Archaïscher Torso Apollos) is a sonnet by the Austrian writer Rainer Maria Rilke, published in the collection New Poems in 1908. It opens the collection's second part and is a companion piece to "Early Apollo", which opens the first part. The poem describes the impressions given by the surviving torso of an archaic statue, which for the poet creates a vision of what the intact statue must have been like.
Archaic Torso of Apollo and Early Apollo are part of Rilke his New Poems (1908).
The Miletus torso (c. 480–470 BC) at the Louvre has been suggested as the poem's subject.
I myself believe that learning is one of the, if not the, most important skills to master as it hasan exponential positive effect on every other aspect of your life. It is why formal educationshould do their best to teach students how to learn based on modern (cognitive) science.
Matthew seems to confirm a longheld belief i've had for a while (though, I think of it in differing ways). Mainly, that the world is ever changing, and that nothing is permanent (see permanent beta movement, as an example). If one wants to adapt to differing circumstances, one needs to learn.

Dit spel van veraf en dichtbij speelt de Franse Rococoschilder Jean-Antoine Watteau (1684-1721) ook met de toeschouwer. Bij hem gaat het echter niet om het mythologische verhaal op zich. Zijn eiland is een metafoor in een allegorie op de liefde. We zien een paradijselijke scene waarin verliefde stelletjes alleen nog maar aandacht hebben voor elkaar
Een eiland kunnen we alleen bereiken over het water of door de lucht. We gaan van de ene wereld naar de ander waardoor we een gevoel van afstand ervaren, zelfs als we het al aan de overkant zien liggen. Dat is net als met de liefde: soms heel dichtbij, maar gevoelsmatig ver weg of zelfs onbereikbaar
An island can be symbolic for something that is within reach, but not quite so. It is an idyllic representation. Love, as well.
Volgens een populaire legende was het de geboorteplaats van Afrodite.
