What are you reading right now?

Well also tbf, the author himself claims that the book is about “love”. Those books are...shall we say an acquired taste.

So, regardless of whatever cultural thing you may have going on, there are probably parts of it that can just be skipped altogether.

i left off on page 376 and picked it up yesterday and look at the photos inside the middle. this book really,really goes deep into everything. i went to the chapter on pythagoras since i just went over his theorem as part of my machinists math class. so much more in there though. i was reading this book when i lived Minnesota. i was so lost in the world

i bought the Gnostic bible at the same time as this book. that book is another golden book, but long. ive only read certain chapters/books, from that Gnostic bible thou.

pythagoras

Does it go into where he heard the voices of his dead homies inside the sound of barking dogs?

nah fam, it mainly goes over numbers and how they work geometrically throughout the universe

theres a bunch about music actually though, on how he created a music scale of different sounds using different sizes of material to bang on or something. **** this was 2013 when i read this though

It’s reported that one day Pythagoras encountered a man beating his dog. As the dog whimpered and yelped in fear and in pain, Pythagoras recognized the noises as the voice of a recently departed friend. He physically intervened upon the man to release the dog, thus allowing his reincarnated friend to escape a life of misery.

He died because he refused to hurt a bean. He was being chased by an angry mob when he happened upon a bean field.

Quote:

Suddenly Pythagoras came to a stop. A vast bean field stretched before him. He stood frozen, uncertain what to do. His eyes focused on a single bean dangling inches from his papyrus- covered feet. So true was he to his ideals that, even at the risk of losing his own life, he was unwilling to trample upon even a single bean. Staring down upon that vibrant bean, the sun low in the sky, he imagined it to be blossoming into a divine ripeness before him. And as he stood there, hesitating, contemplating his next move, his pursuers caught up with him. They lifted their weapons, and bringing the knifes down hard, spilled Pythagoras’ blood on the plants – ending his life for the sake of a bean, and for the deep wisdom immersed in that diminutive cosmic object

He was also a cult leader.

Heraclitus covered himself in so much manure that he got stuck in it and was eaten by starving dogs.

Pythagoras and Heraclitus were two different dudes. Thus the different names. But yeah.
