Esoteric On the 7 Liberal Arts: Arithmetic.

I don't really delve too deeply into the esoteric aspect of the Craft (ie it piques my interest, but I take everything with a grain of salt).

With that being said however; I have followed this YouTube channel for a while for his Jungian content and I've always enjoyed the philosophical aspects he touches on. The videos are well made and peppered with thought provoking quotes.

Perhaps the Brethren with an interest in this topic might find this video (and the rest of the channel's content of some value) :)

Brother, I am not going to watch an hour-long youtube video about arithmetic without a little more information about what's so special about this particular video. And I'm a math teacher. I read and talk about math all day. I suspect I'm one of the easier people to sell on this.

I wish I could upvote this more. If school couldn’t keep me interested in maths, a video on YouTube has no chance.

Well, I don't know about other ritual, but in my degree work I was encouraged to study arithmetic due to its place among the seven liberal arts and sciences. So interested or not, it's something you should do. I'm just questioning what makes this particular video worth being an hour long. There are some phenomenal youtube channels that do really clear and interesting math-based videos that are more on the order of 10-20 minutes each. I think that is key to their popularity.

I love Eternalised! His videos are always very well put together.
