<2021-06-11T22:49:19.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: never seen it but definitely on the list
<2021-06-11T22:49:27.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: I actually thought to buy that 800 dollar set
<2021-06-11T22:49:34.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: and then while I was debating it the last one on the internet sold out
<2021-06-11T22:49:40.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: if you could rip and upload that would be awesome
<2021-06-11T22:56:40.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: honestly I don't mind the money per se, it's more, if I'm going to spend that much on something, I want it to have a shelf life of as close to forever. I meant what I said the other day about archiving Fascist art
<2021-06-11T22:56:54.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: optical media is inherently unstable. it's not like books or even VHS tapes in that regard
<2021-06-11T22:57:00.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: terrible archival medium
<2021-06-11T22:57:04.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: really, *NOT* an archival medium
<2021-06-11T22:57:38.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: lol
<2021-06-11T22:57:54.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: anyway yeah I have the LOGTH 25GB set, not sure if it includes all the movies but I'm sure I can track those down if not
<2021-06-11T22:58:00.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: either way I'd really like the Blu Ray transfers
<2021-06-11T22:58:17.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: oh yeah?
<2021-06-11T22:58:21.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: what to look for?
<2021-06-11T23:00:25.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: hmmm good point
<2021-06-11T23:06:34.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: lol
<2021-06-11T23:06:43.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: so what is the best order to watch for the first time?
<2021-06-11T23:06:47.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: and yeah we will definitely have you on
<2021-07-16T21:35:25.000Z> loghdub: Another NIGR suggestion, if you can deal with weebshit - the Satoshi Kon movies. 
<2021-07-16T21:35:54.000Z> loghdub: Millenium Actress, Perfect Blue, Paprika
<2021-07-16T21:51:50.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: ok thank you
<2021-07-16T21:52:36.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: and yes we should do LOGH
<2021-07-17T05:02:44.000Z> loghdub: And for a game, Killer7
<2021-07-17T05:03:22.000Z> loghdub: But yeah. I'm obviously just throwing ideas at you. I'm willing to hop on and participate in the discussion, but it's your show, so I certainly won't be offended no matter what you do with these suggestions.
<2021-07-17T05:03:47.000Z> loghdub: Either way, I do recommend them, and if you need a discussion partner for any of them, I'm willing to do it.
<2021-10-27T02:17:20.000Z> loghdub: Are you still making RW Dharma Squads?
<2021-10-27T13:01:54.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: we went on hiatus when a couple of jewish lesbian feminist "academics" started "studying" us for their "research." they put together a presentation, we sparred back and forth on twitter and in our podcast, things have quieted down
<2021-10-27T13:02:02.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: that said it seems like the conflict is here to stay
<2021-10-27T13:02:48.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: so I will put up the rest of our back catalogue, and then resume the podcast, with the knowledge that everything we do is going to be put under a microscope by these freaks
<2021-10-27T13:03:28.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: not all of the original cast was comfortable with this dynamic, or with my TRS association (they're fans of the network just don't want to be caught up in an anti-TRS dragnet, which I totally get)
<2021-10-27T13:04:22.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: so we will be resuming, but probably with a mostly different panel, and/or it might be my solo show for a while
<2021-10-27T13:04:29.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: in the not too distant future
<2021-10-28T00:11:47.000Z> loghdub: Gotcha, okay. I knew there was that issue a bit back but wasn't sure if you were coming back. I was looking for an archive of it since there were some episodes I remembered I wanted, but never got around to it.
<2021-10-28T00:11:50.000Z> loghdub: Do you still have them all?
<2021-10-28T02:11:39.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: yes
<2021-10-28T02:30:07.000Z> loghdub: Okay. That's right ,you did say you were going to put it all back up again. OKay, cool. I'll wait for that rather than bug you for an archive lol
<2022-01-07T13:45:10.000Z> loghdub: "Yes, this is all true and well and reasonably put. There's actually a bit of a workaround for the pelagianism (TLDR it isn't "you" doing the work per se, it's not a product of your defiled will)" Can you elaborate on that? That had me curious. 
<2022-01-07T13:45:19.000Z> loghdub: And I'm DMing instead of posting in the hellthread for the obvious reasons
<2022-01-07T17:28:16.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: haha sure
<2022-01-07T17:28:53.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: the basic idea is that nothing good could ever come from ego-clinging because ego-clinging is strictly the result of ignorance
<2022-01-07T17:29:31.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: this gets into all sorts of other stuff but basically you have to have/train in perfect wisdom in order to act in a way that is actually soteriologically beneficial 
<2022-01-07T17:30:39.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: and one of the main features of perfect wisdom is that there is no "I" attached to it. similarly, because ego-clinging is the result of ignorance, any ordinary agency you exercise is defiled to the extent it's tied up in having a sense of oneself being the agent that's doing an action
<2022-01-07T17:31:06.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: this applies even to "virtuous" actions which is why it's emphasized that the real key point of practice is doing virtuous actions without any sense of self, object, or action
<2022-01-07T17:31:13.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: (that's where emptiness and perfect wisdom come in)
<2022-01-07T17:31:48.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: in other words, if you engage in virtuous actions with a sense of self or me or mine or I or being the one who is doing it, however subtle, then the virtuous action is a cause for future pleasure but not a cause for liberation from samsara
<2022-01-07T17:32:48.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: because what liberates us from samsara is not our own personal agency, but (this is Christian language but it would be acceptable in a Buddhist framework) "God's will" which is to say the perfect egoless intention of Buddha Nature which is an inherent feature of every mind as such just because it is an inherent feature of the nature of the mind as such
<2022-01-07T17:33:47.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: in other words it's in a sense "your" Buddha Nature breaking through the obscurations and defilements and doing the virtuous actions in the correct manner (e.g., without a sense of self and so on) that is actually liberatory
<2022-01-07T17:33:59.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: as opposed to "you" or "your [ordinary] will"
<2022-01-07T17:34:01.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: if that makes sense
<2022-01-07T20:01:08.000Z> loghdub: IT might, but I have a more vedic understanding of all these concepts and I'm not as familiar with the Buddhist understanding of it, so I could be more confused than I think. 
<2022-01-07T20:01:58.000Z> loghdub: In a more Vedic approach I can get it because "your buddha nature" is the One within you or whatever, so that makes more sense. But I don't know if there's a parallel in Buddhist thought
<2022-01-07T20:02:26.000Z> loghdub: And if there isn't, then I'm not really sure what "your buddha nature" would actually be if there's no you and no Cosmic I Am to be you instead
<2022-01-07T20:04:08.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: haha 
<2022-01-07T20:04:47.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: these are all great questions and actually sources of contestation. in fact I'm reading a book about it right now, depending on your level of interest you might find sections of it interesting, called "The Buddhist Self" about the relationship between Buddha Nature and Atman/self
<2022-01-07T20:05:31.000Z> loghdub: That sounds pretty interesting. 
<2022-01-07T20:08:08.000Z> loghdub: I'll have to check it out. Obviously, I'm going Orthobro, but I got here from the east not the west and I'm a big fan of the idea of "logos spermatikos" so I like seeing parallels in other places as it's usually something I can learn more about my own tradition from in a way that would not be articulatable locally
<2022-04-19T19:22:09.000Z> loghdub: Hey DK. When things calm down, I'm planning on running with an idea for content / podcast involving practical spirituality and ritual in a dissident right lens. I want to be the racist pageau. If/when I do that (probably not for a month or so yet), would you be up for coming on once or twice as a guest/SME? 
<2022-04-19T19:25:07.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: yes of course
<2022-04-19T19:39:13.000Z> loghdub: Excellent, thanks. Like I said, won't be for a bit yet, but I'll be in touch.
<2022-04-27T03:39:27.000Z> loghdub: You yourself are a buddhist, but how well versed are you on Daoism
<2022-04-27T04:58:52.000Z> loghdub: Also, you know people. Would you know anyone capable / willing of podcasting about This Sort of Thing? Namely, ritual practice / ideological practice?
<2022-04-27T04:59:14.000Z> loghdub: I have an 11-episode plan I need some SMEs on
<2022-04-28T00:14:13.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: I only know a little about Daoism. I used to do a podcast called "Right Wing Dharma Squads" it is currently on hiatus but I am strategizing how to return. I would be happy to participate in your series
<2022-04-28T21:25:48.000Z> loghdub: Right, I was a listener to it lol. To be clear, I'm not asking you to be on 11 episodes; that's my whole plan. I have one on eastern mysticism (buddhism in particular) and a round table / conclusion panel at the end. I just meant I have the whole season / narrative planned out. 
<2022-04-28T21:26:30.000Z> loghdub: I want to at least skim through that "THe Buddhist Self" book you recommended first
<2022-04-28T21:35:55.000Z> loghdub: Intro: The Gates of Woe [meta episode]Part I: The Death of God1. Before the Fall [Nominalism, Renaissance, ProtRef, etc]2. His Blood Upon Us [modernism, liberalism]3. Among the Ruins [Nietzsche, Chesterton, German Idealism, etc]Part II: Bricks, Brains, and Blood4. "If you like war, why are you a faggot?" [Mishima, Nietzsche, right wing material ideology]5. "What's the opposite of all of this?" "Nazis." "Thank you." [National Socialism / Fascist ideology]6. Autism Viewed from the Right [EH, Traditionalism, ideological spirituality]Part III: Prayer, Vril, Dharma7. When the lord indra arrived on the ganges in his chariot to slaughter 6 million dasyu aboriginals, the first word he said was 'namaste' [Buddhism / Eastern mysticism]8. raid coasts kill niggers lmao [Pagan Revival]9. Crosses straight and hooked [Christian mysticism in a racial context]Epilogue: The Divine Council [Roundtable of previous guests, conclusion and prescriptions]
<2022-04-28T21:36:39.000Z> loghdub: ^^ Current outline. So actually, if you know anyone who might be interested in and know some stuff about any of those other topics that would be willing to do an episode, let me know. I'd prefer to have at least one or two SMEs per episode. solo podcasting is a bit to narcissistic even for myself
<2022-04-28T21:36:57.000Z> loghdub: Yourself included if you're inclined
<2022-05-08T19:36:19.000Z> loghdub: Buddism q4u: reading some Goo Naan and there's a footnote here suggesting that buddhism was a Kshaytriyic revolt against Brahminic authority, as the denial of immutable principle and "reduction of all reality to becoming" asserts the primacy of temporal power inthe world. 
<2022-05-08T19:36:37.000Z> loghdub: Is there any substance to this?
<2022-05-13T16:56:15.000Z> loghdub: Oh, also, what's your tg? I'm doing all my planning over there
<2022-05-13T16:56:25.000Z> loghdub: @tuwuashina for me
<2022-05-16T03:43:00.000Z> DK_Dharmaraj: @DK_Dharmaraj
