📚 Hryhoriy Skovoroda is an incredibly modern mystic and religious philosopher. The texts of the Ukrainian philosopher are a real treasure that is timeless. Donate: https://send.monobank.ua/jar/68niBtrKV8 (5375411206531928) Reading Skovoroda's creative legacy, you are simply amazed at how interesting and original it is. The only problem is that we almost never read Skovoroda. That it is not easy for us to understand the language and terms of the 18th century. We will talk about this at the lecture - how to understand Skovoroda today and what his true modernity is 🙌 👨💼 Lecturer: Stanislav Tarasenko - art manager of Planeta Kino, a big fan of Skovoroda. He has been working in the field of film distribution and film criticism for more than 7 years. He has been studying the work of Hryhoriy Savich for more than 3 years.

How did Skovoroda experience a real nirvana? What did he write about his own “Socratic daimonium,” that is, his guardian angel spirit? Why did Skovoroda consider joy to be the basis of human existence and all of Christianity? How did Skovoroda fight demons (believe me, cooler than any Batman)? What did Skovoroda think about sects? And what did Skovoroda think about death? What philosophical and religious theses are the foundation of Skovoroda’s views on life? What does Skovoroda have in common with Lao Tzu and Chuang Tzu? And what does he have in common with Buddha and Sosan? And what does he have in common with Francis of Assisi and Master Eckhart? What philosophical questions did Skovoroda consider meaningless? Why, according to Skovoroda, do not all people achieve Truth and self-realization? What, according to Skovoroda, is the essence of Christianity in general? How should one serve God? How to find the Kingdom of Heaven? Every city has its own customs and laws, Every head keeps its own mind; Every heart has its own love and warmth, Every throat has found its own taste. I am a prisoner of obsessive thoughts: Only one thing worries my mind. Peter the Gentleman rubs corners for ranks, Fedor the merchant is quick to deceive, He builds his house in a fashionable manner, Another trades, take a check! I am a prisoner of obsessive thoughts: Only one thing worries my mind. One incessantly pulls up fields, This one gets foreign calves. The latter train dogs for hunting, In these, the house, like a beehive, buzzes with revelers. I am a prisoner of obsessive thoughts: Only one thing worries my mind. A lawyer adjusts his law to his taste, A student's head cracks from disputes, Venus' cupid worries them, Everyone's head is spinning with his own fool. I have only one concern, How can I die with a clear mind? I know that death is like a sweeping scythe, It will not even bypass the king. It doesn't matter if death is a peasant or a king, It will devour everything like a fire burns straw. Who would despise its terrible steel? He who has a conscience like pure crystal... Every city has its customs and laws, Every head keeps its own mind, Every heart has its own love, Every throat has its own taste. And I am a prisoner of only one thought, Only my mind worries. Peter the lord is grinding corners for ranks, Fedor the merchant is quick to deceive. He is building his house in a new style, Another is trading, take a look. And I am a prisoner of only one thought, Only my mind worries. He is constantly harvesting the fields, He is importing foreign calves, They are training dogs for hunting, In these houses, like a beehive, buzzing with revelers. And I am a prisoner of only one thought, Only my mind is worried. That panegyric weaves from lies, The dead go to the doctor as a contractor. The card player both respects and honors the ace, Stepan runs to the lawsuit, as if to a holiday. And I am a prisoner of only one thought, Only my mind is worried. He arranges the lawyer to the tone of his law, The student's head is bursting from the dispute, Venus' cupid worries them, Everyone's head is spinning its own fool. I have only one concern, So that I don't die senselessly. I know that death, like a sweeping scythe, It won't bypass even the king, It doesn't matter whether death is a peasant or a king, It will devour everything like a fire that burns straw. Who would despise its terrible steel? The one whose conscience is like pure crystal.
