>>18415031all foundations for the existence of knowledge is ultimately faith-based
>>18415031Plato irreparably damaged the west with this allegory
>>18415855Bodhisattva is the premise of all prophecy.Given that the Mind of God does not move, the only way for divine wisdom to manifest in time is by a mind of time ascending on high and returning with the flame of heaven that raises the eye of the minds of men to God.
>>18415031>the people who stay inside reading and thinking about ideas instead of acting in the real world talk about the rest of the world living in a cave it's just cope really, intellectuals and hermits have always tried to invert reality to serve their purposes and put themselves at the top of the social hierarchy, jews perfected this art, funny how the world of ideas can't build the house you live in or grow the crops that feed you.
>>18416071>durrr all that matters is the pragmatic import of a thing>durrr detachment from worldy goals is the same as trying to achieve definite worldy goals in an underhanded wayYou're either a r*ddit-tier fedora or a KJV-only independent baptist.
>>18416071>instead of acting in the real worldNot really, the entire point of the allegory was that the man who has seen the outside, who understood the world as it really is, and saw what good is, SHOULD go back down and out of duty (because nobody who has seen the outside would genuinely want to go back inside) use his superior understanding to lead the people in a just and benevolent way.
>>18416298Plato never doubted his right to lie. He never doubted he had different rights from the lower class Athenians either.

>>18415031Why does everyone assume the end point is positive?
>>18418002Yes. We unquestionably assume that once we "exit the world" what awaits us is pure heavenly bliss and rest.The Unholy Consult assumes the opposite, that the outside existence is full of inhuman intelligences far deadlier than what we are used to and we are nothing but food (loosh) to these intelligences. If we are being tampered with and pushed and farmed for loosh while incarnated, what stops these intelligences to prey on us the moment we die and we leave the flesh bodies?Surely enlightenment, gnosis, apotheosis, these concepts have a truth to them. Surely the idea of hell and the uncontested fact that most people go to hell BUT the most ardent followers of God, has some truth to it.
