Narcissist with a Cause Update- Outdoor album cover photoshoot was rained out. The universe is not ready for its release or did not like the Mississippi location. Rescheduled next weekend in Lousiana. Events that put a damper on our plans are the universe's way of guiding us to the path we are intended to follow.

Philosophy and the Outside A Conversation in English by #CatherineMalabou Catherine Malabou is a French philosopher and Professor in the Philosophy Department at the Centre for Research in Modern European Philosophy at Kingston University, at the European Graduate School, and in the Department of European Languages and Studies at the University of California, Irvine, a position formerly held by Jacques Derrida. Widely regarded as one of the most exciting figures in what has been called “The New French Philosophy,” Malabou’s research and writing covers a range of figures and issues, including the work of Hegel, Freud, Heidegger, and Derrida; the relationship between philosophy, neuroscience, and psychoanalysis; and concepts of essence and difference within feminism. #philosophersofinstagram (at University of California, Irvine School of Humanities) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxdMJhkFVJD/?igshid=nfwyggki99ap

PT 2 🌮 But we (man) didn’t stop at simply one offense. Furthermore, we ascribed roles. We said, “You have a penis and therefore you are a man therefore you must do these things and be this way and have these desires.” And we did it to women too, but men were so afraid of the power of sexuality to free people from the bondage of themselves and others that men decided to politicize gender. They made the female weaker so that they could control her. They gave her roles to play, all of which served man. They wrote laws and scriptures—playing god themselves—which would provide them shelter if ever their practices were questioned. They were cowards who were forgotten, and their fear was passed on from generation to generation—to all of our fathers—until it became practically biological: oppression infused in our bloodline. No god desires its creatures to fear loving and being loved. Any god who speaks otherwise is just a man in disguise. He is a man-made god. God is freedom within oneself. Sexuality is the ultimate expression of who we truly are, and thus our individual freeness. So it stands to reason...perhaps god is female. Perhaps god is sex itself. #philosophyandphotography #philosophersofinstagram #art #writersofinstagram #binary #gender #male #female #male #woman #returntothewomb #sexuality #feminine #essential https://www.instagram.com/p/BuSNMjOlHOZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7kd2kwg4lh8d

PT 1 🍆 Our fully expressed sexuality is our essentialness; it is the essence of who we truly are. Once we are free to express love freely then we are free to become ourselves—we are beings of love who have gotten caught up in fear and oppression. Love expands and opens and connects us to the world while hate, which is nothing more than justified fear, disconnects and traps us within the bondage of self. When feminine energy ruled the planet (look it up) there was freedom and love and expansiveness because the female body is the cradle in which sexuality is rocked—where it is nurtured, so that it may be expressed when it is fully developed and ready to fly into the expansive sky, out of the comfort of the nest. The feminine form is sexuality itself, which is to go within: to feel, to return to the state of floating in the warm embryonic fluid of our mother’s womb. While to be a man means to thrust oneself into the world: to be the expressive self. According to our current binary tropes, it would appear that woman (sexuality) seeks to delve into that deep darkness in which our soul hibernates and man (vitality) seeks to emerge from that darkness and to promote his conquests and hibernatural revelations with the world. Both of these are forms of connection, but while one seeks to embrace the darkness, the other runs from it and only finds solace in the light. Man, it seems, can only exist in the seen: in what he understands. This is why he fears woman. She has eyes like a cat that glow bright and make her at home in dark, deep spaces. The spaces where our soul slumbers. It is ridiculous that we ever defined these two energies, which are like the sun and moon—opposites in need of one another to have purpose—as “male” and “female”. As if these energies were actually biologically attached to the genitalia of a human mammal. Gender is political, not natural. What unnatural laws we have broken in telling people who they are. How badly have we offended our creator in building cages and calling it conformity? But we (man) didn’t stop at simply one offense... #photographyandphilosophy #philosophersofinstagram #binary #gender #sexuality #male #female #man #woman #art https://www.instagram.com/p/BuSL_79F-GE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1s7l6046v3pxr

Reposted from @journey.of.curiosity - Iamblichus (c. A.D. 250-325) was a major figure in the philosophical school of Neoplatonism and the founder of its Syrian branch. He was also the biographer of Pythagoras, a Greek mystic, philosopher and mathematician. ⠀⠀ ‘’He was a student of Plotinus' disciple Porphyry. His influential treatise Theurgia, or On the Mysteries of Egypt deals with a 'higher magic' which operates through the agency of the gods. Agrippa refers frequently to Iamblichus in his Occulta Philosophia. Iamblichus also had a strong influence on other Renaissance occultists like Ficino, Pico della Mirandola, and Giordano Bruno. Iamblichus is also explicitly mentioned in the Grimorium Verum.’’ ⠀⠀ I came across this quote in the beginning of the quadrivium 🙏🌞 ⠀⠀ - - #wisdom #philosophy #philosophersofinstagram #interdependence https://www.instagram.com/p/BsRWFAWlhjl/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1jholzfiam7ag
