I hadn't looked at Christopher Michael Langan's work for a while, so I dropped-in at his CTMU Radio channel on YouTube, and browsed a few recent postings.
The first thing I did was watch a three minute video called "Satan"; which I regard as excellent: concise, clear, decisive!
The video is illustrative of the major differences in metaphysical assumptions between Langan and myself; in that his models of reality are highly abstract, and use the language of physics and mathematics.
Whereas I am recurrently (whenever I remember) trying to understand and express reality in terms of Beings and their motivations - I regard the universe as ultimately "animistic" not abstract.
Yet behind the different assumptions and expressions, I find myself in a high degree of agreement with CML. He is surely on the right side of the spiritual war; and, despite major personality differences between us, I certainly regard Langan as A Good Bloke.
I can't claim to have read or watched more than a sliver of Langan's prodigious output, but here are some sources for those who wish to explore further.
