"I've been fascinated with Bruno since I was a girl and read a quote of his about the nature of the stars and possibility of other worlds. I don't think he returned to Italy for just one reason. He hinted many times that he thought the fire was his fate. Perhaps, he wanted to challenge a church that had hounded his footsteps for far too long. Perhaps, he had grown tired of running. I do not agree he was arrogant as some think. I think it was just the opposite. I have wondered, at times, if he wasn't a wounded soul trying to find union within himself. Mystics live by a different set of rules than most people and Bruno definitely was a mystic. I agree, he was looking for a holistic worldview."
Vacillating, intriguing, and tragic; if I were to ascribe three words to the life of Giordano Bruno it would undoubtedly be these. I suspect many know of this stories fiery denouement, but if you are interesting in discovering how Giordano Bruno, searching and wondering, transformed from priest to philosophical martyr for free speech and tolerance of differences then give me 10 minutes of your time.
If you enjoyed this video and are interesting in learning more about history’s greatest philosophic minds and ideas consider subscribing to the channel. Here my goal is to bring philosophy to whoever may be seeking it by illuminating the individuals who, by the prestidigitation of their thought, changed the world.

Giordano Bruno (Latin: Iordanus Brunus Nolanus; born Filippo Bruno, January or February 1548 – 17 February 1600) was an Italian philosopher, mathematician, poet, cosmological theorist, and Hermetic occultist. He is known for his cosmological theories, which conceptually extended the then novel Copernican model. He proposed that the stars were distant suns surrounded by their own planets, and he raised the possibility that these planets might foster life of their own, a cosmological position known as cosmic pluralism. He also insisted that the universe is infinite and could have no "center".
While Bruno began as a Dominican friar, during his time in Geneva he embraced Calvinism. Bruno was later tried for heresy by the Roman Inquisition on charges of denial of several core Catholic doctrines, including eternal damnation, the Trinity, the divinity of Christ, the virginity of Mary, and transubstantiation. Bruno's pantheism was not taken lightly by the church, nor was his teaching of the transmigration of the soul (reincarnation). The Inquisition found him guilty, and he was burned at the stake in Rome's Campo de' Fiori in 1600. After his death, he gained considerable fame, being particularly celebrated by 19th- and early 20th-century commentators who regarded him as a martyr for science, although most historians agree that his heresy trial was not a response to his cosmological views but rather a response to his religious and afterlife views. However, some historians do contend that the main reason for Bruno's death was indeed his cosmological views. Bruno's case is still considered a landmark in the history of free thought and the emerging sciences.
In addition to cosmology, Bruno also wrote extensively on the art of memory, a loosely organized group of mnemonic techniques and principles. Historian Frances Yates argues that Bruno was deeply influenced by the Empedocles, Neoplatonism, Renaissance Hermeticism, and Genesis-like legends surrounding the Hellenistic conception of the Egyptian god Hermes Tresmigestus. Other studies of Bruno have focused on his qualitative approach to mathematics and his application of the spatial concepts of geometry to language.
The comment by French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius,
“We have only 500 days away from Climate Chaos,” is rather strange since 500
days from that date is September 23. Although it could easily have been just a
general statement, I base odds on the overall September 23 phenomenon. “Oh
that’s nothing” could not work in a court of law if enough clues and facts pointed to a clear
pattern. The rolling of the dice can only come up with “snake eyes” so many times until one should
know that they’re fixed. An asteroid hitting the Gulf of Mexico in September is
partly based on “leaks,” which means that it’s either true or a deliberate
attempt to mislead. Also, misinformation could be used to mask over perhaps
something else that may happen. However, there are a few more clues that make
this scenario more gripping. Using Bible prophesy and mathematics, Isaac Newton
concluded that there is a 100% probability of an asteroid hitting the earth on
September 23 and/or 24, 2015. The ‘Book of Enoch’ has a prophesy of an asteroid
hitting the earth at about this time. There are also “Bible codes” which point
to an asteroid as well, but I think the Newton prophesy would be the one to
look up. While “leaks” are neither here nor there, one such leak was that it is
a two and a half mile wide comet, not an asteroid, that will crash about 200
miles off the coast of Brazil and Venezuela between September 15 and 28. One would have to base much of their opinion on what
point of view(s) their coming from. Even if you don’t believe a prophesy for
example, someone could still engineer something to happened based on their own
beliefs. I’m not fully convinced of CERN’s denials, but I’m neither fully
convinced that this is some type of modern “Tower of Babble” happening. There
are more tie-ins and coincidences involved than I could jot down in limited
time. Personally, I would like to see October 1st without happening. The fact
that even a mainstreamer like Stephen Hawking is concerned gives some serious
doubt as to whether or not CERN is being totally honest, or that they're not
opening up some sort of dangerous oracle. Clearly many of these elites are heavily into overt and
unimpressive eclectic occultism, transhumanism, and their own brand(s) of
personal and collective egos. Much of the symbology is so deep that I can barely
grasp the breadth of it. With the pre-911 symbolism, it wasn't anything
that anyone would have understood; while with 2012 and Y2K non-events, there
wasn’t any sort of real codex involved. Here it’s such a telegraphed blow that
I can’t imagine anything major happening. For example, if an asteroid did
create an unprecedented disaster with hundreds of thousands of deaths, then
Laurent Fabius and many others should be held accountable since they would have
obviously known about it in advance—to the day!—and only managed to muddle
something obscure about it. Hollywood has been all over this for many years. Every
combination of “923” imaginable. Clocks, timers, signs, signals, vocal
references, etc., that it couldn’t be mere chance. ‘The Simpsons’ and ‘Family
Guy’ are obvious examples of this “predictive programming. However in a couple
of dozen Hollywood movies going back about twenty years, the “923” symbolism
was used. In the recent tv series ‘Fringe’, there is a whole scenario that is a
mirror of CERN, September 23, and the collider, and a clear malevolent nature
is portrayed. On top of many “923” symbols used in 'Fringe', there was one point where a
clock showed “9:23” and right afterward a timer showed the reverse “329.” It’s
rather unlikely that this is mere coincidence. The upcoming movie ‘The Walk’
seems to have some eery symbolic connections, but that’s something to look up
yourself, as it’s sufficiently bizarre and paranoid enough that it may even
seem unbelievable if I would to break that down here now. In a 1996 episode of the tv
program ‘3rd Rock from the Sun,’ the actor John Lithgow played a
high school teacher who loudly proclaimed to his class in regards to people
focusing on the unimportant… “Blissfully unaware of the great vaporizing meteor
due in 2015!” Again, it’s the totality of the clues that could make the free
and critical thinker feel a bit uneasy.
If
you’re curious about the “923 phenomenon,” a few names to search are Anthony
Patch, Tom Horn, Jonathan Cahn, and Steve Quayle. One theme that follows along
the lines of something covered on this blog is that, while the collider is attempting
to recreate conditions of the Big Bang Theory officially, some believe that it
may end up validating the Electric Universe theory. Today, “critic” usually
just means “mainstream.” One who just denies anything that he didn’t read, see,
or hear in the mainstream media. A “critical mind” used to be a good thing
because it validates truth. Any good free and critical thinker should try to
determine the difference between established facts and patterns and unsubstantiated
talk or rumors; and the difference between logical thought and perception. For example, some believe that the Pope’s
visit to America on September 23 , 2015 will coincide with his “admitting the arrival
of aliens"… perhaps to cover up the coming Rapture Event (actually the
Vatican does talk about “aliens” on occasion).
Personally, I think the Pope visiting on
September 23 is the fact that ties into the codex, and not aliens or rapture. I
extract only the facts that fit the emerging pattern. When reading CERN's denials, my rational mind was accepting their assurances, until one response came up that I knew wasn't true.. which then reshuffles the deck a bit for me. It's like a grand puzzle which can only be played by someone who thinks a bit like an old-school critic; and not a conformist, a single-issue zealot, a critical naysayer, or the gullible.
