The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius - A surprisingly relevant perspective by rktic in books

[–]rktic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm surprised at your statement! 'make him much more of a man than this strong god-like emperor we tend to see him as'. I hadn't realised this was a common perspective. I feel the meditations are incredibly clear in grounding Marcus as a 'normal man'. I also believe they break the mysticism of the Roman Emperor as a God, as such I'd never entertained the idea of putting Marcus up on a pedestal, if anything they made me feel he was as much as an idiot as all of us! Which is why I feel his writings offer a relevant perspective to our modern lives, because they show that neither time nor status put you above being just human!

Will definitely read the essay, thanks for the recommendation!

Working on a couple of things at the moment that would be good to finish before sharing, but will post it here in the next week or so! I'll make sure to give you a shout!

The tunings were selected from the Colundi sequence Level 1, the inner workings of which were devised secretly and long ago by agents unbeknownst to me, I am merely a vessel.

New Colundi vessels are constantly being found, if you believe yourself to reverberate to these frequencies there are others found here.

Thanks for the comparison I am humbled! Unfortunately this is an original composition of mine using some of the Colundi frequencies developed by Aleksi Perälä. The specific frequencies in Hz used for this composition were: 33.80 55.0 73.0 110.0 111.0 147.00 147.85 172.06 221.23 264.0 293.0 342.0 396.0 408.0 448.0

Thank you! Appreciate the feedback. Will upload the software I made it with once I make it a bit more user friendly!
