Utterly retarded, emotional reasoning with massive assumptions and beneath the bar of a real public intellectual. This is Candice Owen level reasoning, and embarrassing from a Lansman.
Oh, you think you’re so smart. I am also a “lansman”who has studied shamanism. Also, ironically, I suppose, the shaman I have studied with is also a lansman. Anyway, I won’t say you’re full of shit—that wouldn’t be nice!—but I will say the perspective from which you speak is quite limited. From a shamanic point of view, possessions happen all the time. You can call them negative or demonic, but they are possessions nevertheless.
Again, personal attacks instead of reasoning. Lansman, I have done shamanic work for decades, my shamanism has changed life for millions of people... Please Jerome, counter my statement with evidence and not emotion and condemnation. Daniel is a public intellectual and has the responsibility to raise the level of discourse and not spit judgment like a facebook troll. Forgive me for expecting high level reasoning from him. Shamanism is not a get out of jail free card.
There is no “evidence” per se! (Except what he has offered.) He’s speculating. You’re holding him to a “public intellectual” standard. I confess IDK what a “public intellectual” is supposed to say & not say. Have you considered that maybe he is more of a “thought leader?” 😉 And what more “evidence”do you need, anyway? Do you think it’s not possible that Musk & his ilk are possessed? Anyway, it’s great you’ve helped millions of people. I had no idea! Too bad nobody can help Musk. I used to work in the addictions field. You could argue that some addicts might be possessed, too. But there’s a point where we’re dealing with stuff that seems like it’s the beyond the realm of intellectuality. Or maybe there’s a science to it all that’s beyond our grasp.
Pinchbeck’s passion is as result of his cultural analysis slotting nicely into his archetypal correspondences, his creative extrapolation onto mythology is just that — this is a creative writing piece, not a medical diagnosis, and he himself acknowledges that the assumptions he hinges to interpret a narrative fly over the average person’s head, like yourself. you either see Pinchbeck eye to eye on this or you do not
This is not a creative writing piece. I am a Jew as are most of us in this thread. Is what Candice Owens does or Hitler did 'creative writing?" Obviously not. But when you condemn people with a wink to your audience you are doing exactly what they do and did. That is what I object to. The shaman should draw on a deeper truth not shared vilification. No disrespect meant (although much given unfortunately)
I’m on board with critiquing anyone in power to the degree optimal, vilifying if need be. *How* we vilify “x” person in power and *what* we do about it is the important conversation here of which you’ve offered no substantive arguments except appeals to emotion which you’re claiming to condemn
Pinchbeck talked about Elon in the beginning and then completely dropped the Elon connection to flesh out the metaphysics of possession more generally. The bar for possession is lower than you think; anyone who believes they can make nothing mean everything (most of the wayward younger generations stuck online, myself included), especially where improper and/or excessive use of drugs and technology is concerned, as Pinchbeck pointed out, has had their psyche hijacked. The psyche of the human gestalt itself has been hijacked by the consumption of Ahriman which causes the Luciferic in turn to rear its ugly head to provide the antidote of perverse fantasy — a decadent symbiosis of that which green lights the vilification of the worst of us who positively associate with the false reality we’ve created (Lucifer) as their pride blinds them from seeing the impersonal human meat grinder (Ahriman) for what it is. Combine this with insane megalomania and disregard for anything outside their illusion and you have evil steering the ship of humanity
Pinchbeck villainized Elon to the degree optimal, he made the connection briefly and then left the conclusion open-ended for us to decide before moving onto the theory side of things which was the main focal point of this piece without any call to action to rally behind the conclusion (you’ve) implied (u seem to think this piece is a call for violence)
Anyone who’s smart knows explicating the conclusion (you’ve) implied is exactly what the point of this piece is not, in other words anyone who reads this who then thinks Elon deserves to be lynched is a fool who has missed the point, the scapegoating of elites set in motion by an angry mob can actually be described by what u started with — “utterly retarded.” Elon’s only sin is having so many layers of stupid in his astral and mental layer that he entirely lost the Buddhic layer and now he’s stuck with the demons who’ve been slowly grooming him this whole time, in a sense Elon is a victim. His greatest sin is stupidity and as such he should be removed from power, nothing more
Again, personal attacks instead of reasoning. Counter my statement with evidence and not emotion and condemnation. Daniel is a public intellectual and has the responsibility to not spit judgment like a facebook troll.
In this essay, you brilliantly draw on many other writings, even quantum physics, to construct your very heady brew. Your critiques of Musk, the Democratic Party, and many other realms are warranted, but I think they could be much more powerful.
I notice the number of times you use the words "we," "our," or third person referentials, like about Musk, but very seldom use the word "I."
My suggestion is that to ground your critiques you might consider sharing some of your own dark side. Otherwise, to me, this looks like a very clever projection of them. I know that this kind of disclosure seldom happens in public discourse, as it takes a high level of understanding of one's vulnerability and a skill to not become solopsistic. But I feel, you, as one, might be up to that challenge.

Not “the” beyond. My bad.

Ok boomer
You don't see the irony of that comment do you? Again insult.
Is it a crime to hold a man like pinchbeck to a high standard?

This was GREAT! You are correct, we need to set back and reevaluate.
