  4. One correction: The Butlerian Jihad wasn't a machine upraising, that was a far later interpretation by Frank Herbert's son. In the first 6 books it was humans using machines the control other humans; think something like mass Ai surveillance and monitoring to empower a small elite, not Skynet.

  5. I think one of the most fascinating things about Dune is how it portrays the future of religion. I feel like we have no problem with extrapolating how technical or scientific things might develop in the future, but it’s less common to explore how religion might develop as time goes on.

  6. as someone who's studied islam my whole life i've been warned about this book by almost every person i learned from even in my highschool they warned us about this book to a point that i was even hesitant to click on this video 💀💀

  7. Finally someone who cares about proper pronunciation. It's hard to take someone's information seriously if they're butchering the names of what they're talking about.

  8. What a terrific work of scholarship. Hundreds of hours of research distilled into a beautiful 23 minute video. Thank you Filip for this gift.

  9. Had a talk with my mathematician colleague this week where he said that there was more to Pythagoras than people realized. This one came surprisingly on cue.

  10. The number of deep similarities between the world's mystical traditions and esoteric teachings is undeniable, shocking and incredibly inspiring.

  11. As a Shia, it was refreshing to see an account of our religion that doesn't merely summarize it as 7th century historical division in Islam but actually goes deeper into the beliefs, practices, and intellectual tradition. I really appreciated your unique perspective and hope you will do a video on Mulla Sadra someday.

  12. Man this channel deserves much more love. Your Arabic pronunciations are pretty good, and not many people have taken the time to put all this information together on such small faiths.
    1500
  13. Great video as usual! Looking forward to future collabs.

  14. Gnostics: Sophia, can we ascend to the Pleroma to see God? Sophia: You already have a god in your world God in our world: Yaldabaoth

  15. You are one of the youtubers who give actual due respect and recognition to the earlier Islamic Philosophers who made great impact on this modern civilization

  16. As a Punjabi Muslim, I've always had a certain amount of connection to and love for Sikhism, I think most Punjabis feel that way because of our shared ethnicity and language. It's still one of the, now increasingly rare, examples of people of the same nation thriving across different religious traditions in India. Thank you for making this video.

  17. Brother no matter the religion you follow, your videos are nice and do not offend anyone.

  18. What a pity it's such a fragmentary text - great work, friend! Blessed Ramadan, happy and kosher Pesach and happy Easter to all celebrating!
    1200
  19. As someone who rejected Christianity as a teenager on doctrinal grounds, I've since found that the life of Jesus and his teachings makes far greater sense when seen from a non-dualist perspective. The Gospel of Thomas shows this was definitely part of the Early Christian movement

  20. Nobody is talking about this man making his own music for his videos. How can a single man be so talented ?
    1200
  21. Fascinating! It would be great if you cover more of these ancient cults.
    1100
  22. Not gonna lie, for a spooky episode, the lighting is kinda romantic.
    1100
  23. "Just because you have a biased view of Islam as being irrational and can't imagine a rationalist like Ibn Rushd being a devout Muslim, doesn't make it true."
    1100
  24. Beautiful to see you cover the Dharmic traditions Filip, you did not disappoint. Your channel is, to me, the best on You Tube. There is indeed so much to tackle, but I would especially love to see a video on Bhagavad Gītā!
    1100
  25. Just a small theory I had that I wanted to share: "Kwisatz Haderach" could come from "Kfitzat haderech" in Hebrew, which translates to the jumping of paths. It might be a reference to Paul's ability to see and select from multiple future paths.

  26. That thumbnail deserves a like for sure lol
    1000
  27. As a Christian I appreciated your professionalism and the unbiased nature of this video. Well done.
    1000
  28. I took a history of Christianity class in college and the first day of class the professor goes "yeah so we don't actually have a lot of evidence that Jesus ever existed." My very Catholic friend was shocked to say the least.

  29. Can’t believe I just discovered this channel. And on a fascinating topic as this at that.
    980
  30. as a member of the druze faith I enjoyed your unbiased opinion and diverse information that you have gathered.
    951
  31. I love how these videos are one hour. It's like free university lectures. So generous
    929
  32. NEVER EVER I’ve seen any non-Ismaili articulating our Ismaili belief system, history, & fundamentally who we are in such a coherently accurate manner. Highly impressed & very thankful for putting this out there.
    896
  33. As a Muslim I feel like a lot of my brothers will come and trash all over the comment section. They probably will not have watched the previous video and are going to insert their assumptions in here. But Filip please don't be discouraged by them and spread knowledge as you always do. love your channel ❤😊

  35. Man, you have got next level of understanding and comprehension of religious ideas and practices. Your every content is a master piece. However I am wonder to see the limited number of subscribers as I think you should have millions of subscribers. By the way I wish you luck
    818
  36. Really happy to see the channel grow so quickly. You deserve it! Also, I always wanted to say this, FIRST!
    815
  37. Man, I'm not sure how you did it but your Arabic pronunciation is superb
    774
  38. There was no Year Zero. The calendar went from 1 BC to 1 AD.
    760
  39. Can't wait for this. I do suggest the work of Pre and Early Islamic Arabic philologist Ahmed Al-Jallad, he has some fascinating insights into the Pre Islamic belief system based on the numerous rock etchings and writings found across Arabia.
    723
  40. I say this as an atheist and as someone who's tired of seeing so many wars being waged on Twitter fueled by mutual ignorance of one another, your videos legitimately make the world a better place. I admire your respect, your thoughtfulness and the passion you put into what you do. And I know I'm far from being the only person to think so. Thanks for being awesome, man.

  41. Small correction: you don’t actually play as Sun Wukong in the game, it’s a different monkey. If you got to play as sun wukong there be absolutely no challenge whatsoever lol

  42. I would love to see a video about the relationship between Tarot and ancient mysticism someday
    684
  43. Being a Hindu, thank you for clarifying and making people aware about what tantra actually is.
    673
  44. My family have been Kabbalists for over 500 years, since before we were expelled from Spain during the Inquisition. My father studied and taught Kabbalah for the last 35 years of his life. I am grateful that I inherited his library and writings.

  45. as a linguist, i could not emphazise it more but languages in themselves don't exist ; they're coliving with the humans using them, and in this regard, languages are undissociable from their affiliated culture nice vid
    631
  46. Personally I prefer the term “dimension”: Sufism is a dimension of Islam, that focuses on intimate and immediate relationship between muslim and God, in which the practitioner of this approach developed various spiritual and esoteric practices that aim to achieve said relationship.
    629
  47. This exposition of Wahdat al-Wujud was so fine, a diamond of a video and gift to the world. Ibn Arabi would be proud to see youtube used to spread and explain ideas of unity like this. Keep em coming.
    627
  48. Been obsessed with Dune for 4 years now and it’s what sparked my interest in Islam and led me to your channel. Excited to hear your take!
    623
  49. Hope you younger viewers appreciate the treasures these videos are. Whole lives were lost, literally and figuratively, for lack of this kind of clear exposition in previous decades. Hats off, sir. Look forward to your treatments of all related topics.

  50. I am a twelver shia and I have to say that you have handled this topic with so much grace and respect with factual and academic based information. There are couple of things even I didn't know and would like to research further. i learned of existence of Irfan in Shia doctrine very recently, myself by Sheikh Shomali's lectures which are available on youtube. He was resident Alim in Islamic centre of England. Learned about mysticism in Shia Islam only in 2012 during Hajj where we were accompanied by sheikh arif abdulhussain an expert in shia mysticism and metaphysics. It was all very revealing and new to me. I believe that overwhelming majority of Shias don't know of these concepts of their own religion (at least I can say so of shias in subcontinent where I come from, currently live in London).
