In this video I discuss the meaning and symbolism of the title Lucifer, or the Morning Star, drawing on the Old and New Testament. How it is that this title both refers to Christ, as well as the Adversary?

My intro was arranged and recorded by Matthew Wilkinson.

After publishing a recent video commenting on Alex O'Connor's conversation with Jordan Peterson regarding Genesis, I decided to make June 2024's patron-only video public. In this video, I delve deeper into another question that came up in the discussion about whether God actually wanted Adam and Eve to eat the Fruit of the Knowledge of Good and Bad in the Garden of Eden. To answer this question, I draw from St. Ephrem the Syrian’s wonderful book, Hymns on Paradise.

My intro was arranged and recorded by Matthew Wilkinson.

Cain and Abel is one of the most known stories in the Bible. In this podcast episode we look at how it relates to left hand-right hand symbolism, but I also want to look at how there's a reflection of the story in a few pagan myths. Hopefully this will show how looking at other stories and myths from other cultures can give us hints about some of the Biblical structures.

This podcast is a response to a discussion between myself, Jordan Peterson and Mohammed Hijab on Jordan Peterson's channel. Many people have reached out to me since it's been out, so here I give some background context and an explanation of why I reacted the way I did. I also talk a little bit about the Trinity, which Hijab criticized, explaining why it is important in Christian theology.

I've spoken with Dn. Nicholas Kotar a few times on this channel. He is an Orthodox deacon, writer, storyteller and podcaster for Ancient Faith Ratio. He recently published another book in the Raven Son series called Son of the Deathless that's freely available on his website. In this conversation we talk more about storytelling in our current culture and how we can approach more traditional storytelling while living in a postmodern world. We also talk about the new Lord of the Rings series, Rings of Power, Russian novels like Laurus, different kinds of stories like fairy tales and myths compared with contemporary fiction and much more.

I continue where I left of in my previous podcast about left hand and right hand symbolism, where now I discuss the idea of authority and power or direct and indirect influence. I use iconography and other images (like the royal scepter and orb) as examples to expound on this symbolism.

This podcast is based on a presentation I did on my YouTube channel that relies a lot on visual imagery. You can try to follow along with audio only but it might get difficult to visualize what I'm talking about. Here is the original video: https://youtu.be/o_4j9Ts2wxU In this podcast I discuss the symbolism of the left hand and right hand that’s often mentioned in Scripture. Through exploring iconography and other representations of opposites inside and outside of Christianity, we can discover the meaning and role of these basic opposites, how they can feed each other and mysteriously flip. As I mention in my discussion, this is more like poetry, an intuition rather than a system. Icon of the Last Judgement image I always use, painted by Fr.

A clip surfaced of Sam Harris from a recent interview he did on Triggernometry where he expressed incredulity about the apparent absurdity of the idea of “heaven”, given that we have telescopes and satellites that have never observed it.

This video is a repost from Nate’s channel, ‘Grail Country’. We discuss Valentin Tomberg’s book ‘Meditations on the Tarot: A Journey into Christian Hermeticism’ and Christian esotericism more generally, how different esoteric perspectives unfolded throughout history, Rosicrucianism, freemasonry, perennialism and how these traditions deviate from Orthodox mysticism. We also discuss evolution and natural selection as a mythical narrative.

Donald Hoffman is a cognitive psychologist and popular science author. He is a professor in the Department of Cognitive Sciences at the University of California, Irvine, with joint appointments in the Department of Philosophy, the Department of Logic and Philosophy of Science, and the School of Computer Science. He studies consciousness, visual perception and evolutionary psychology using mathematical models and psychophysical experiments. In this interview we discuss Prof. Hoffman’s work and theories on consciousness and the nature of reality, the limits of space-time, what evolution says about consciousness and how the latest mathematical theories about consciousness reflect positively on many ancient spiritual traditions.

In this podcast episode I discuss the famous passage in Romans 6:23, “ For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” We will explore the larger context of why St. Paul says this, how it relates to a fractal reality rather than only being a moral statement, and how it can ultimately help us understand emergence, emanation and our own salvation in Christ.

In this long-awaited discussion with Dr. Iain McGilchrist I ask him several questions about his work. We discuss the medieval worldview, the Renaissance, participation and transformation, and what he thinks is the way forward and the role of religion. We also talk about the processual aspect of creation, the role of the body in Christianity and the restorative magic of attending. Enjoy.

This conversation was prompted by two articles Daniel and Ken wrote on the Symbolic World blog on the topic and use of the word “egregore”. Here we discuss what this term means and how it fits into the symbolic worldview, the traditional cosmology and Christianity. We also talk about alternative terms like golem, artificial intelligence, and more generally how we can approach and categorize higher beings, angels and principalities.

In this short meditation, I explore the meaning of the Fall in secular terms, and the mistake atheists make in understanding their own placement.

In this conversation with Jordan Hall and John Vervaeke we discuss the meaning and implications of "egregores" as described by the recent two articles on the Symbolic World Blog by Daniel Townhead and Kenneth Florence as well as in the book "Meditations on the Tarot" by Valentin Tomberg. The question of egregores is part of our ongoing discussion about higher beings, collective intelligence, distributed cognition and principalities. We also discuss our current world, our language as a secular culture, what a solution to the meaning crisis will look like and artificial intelligence.

This video is a response to Jordan Peterson’s analysis of Pinocchio and the notion of saving your father from the underworld. How does this idea fit into Christianity? At first it seems that Christ’s story flips the pattern, where He is saved by the underworld by His Father, but is there more to it?

This is a repost from my conversation with Bernardo Kastrup on the More Christ podcast and YouTube channel. We discuss dissociation and the problem of unity and multiplicity, how the Western mind approaches the world and what we have lost in modernity, banality, heavenly hierarchy and transcendence, crisis in the West and recovering the sacramental life without sentimentality. Bio (from his website): Bernardo Kastrup is the executive director of Essentia Foundation. His work has been leading the modern renaissance of metaphysical idealism, the notion that reality is essentially mental. He has a Ph.D. in philosophy (ontology, philosophy of mind) and another Ph.D. in computer engineering (reconfigurable computing, artificial intelligence). As a scientist, Bernardo has worked for the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) and the Philips Research Laboratories (where the 'Casimir Effect' of Quantum Field Theory was discovered). Formulated in detail in many academic papers and books, his ideas have been featured on 'Scientific American,' the 'Institute of Art and Ideas,' the 'Blog of the American Philosophical Association' and 'Big Think,' among others.

Original video: https://youtu.be/a9VeKqd6szA This is my third conversation with Dr. Paula Boddington. This time we talk about agency, consciousness, digital ID, security, power and the mythology of technology, and how artificial intelligence plays into our desires and our notions of what a human being is. Dr. Boddington is the author of "Towards a Code of Ethics for Artificial Intelligence". She is currently a Senior Lecturer at the New College of the Humanities and has held academic positions at the University of Bristol, the Australian National University, Cardiff University, and Oxford University. She has received research awards from the Future of Life Institute, the National Institute of Health Research, and the Welcome Trust.

In this video I discuss the symbolic meaning of sacrifice in general, why it’s a human universal and how we still engage with ritualistic sacrifice today. There are many different examples of sacrifice, not only killings, but offering and dedication for initiation into a group, as tribute or taxes, remembering the dead, to found a city or a home etc. Finally I talk about how Christianity solves the problem of sacrifice, in particular the problem of mimetic sacrifice of the scapegoat (René Girard).

Seraphim Hamilton is an Orthodox theologian who is committed to helping others understand the deep and profound ways that the inspired Scriptures bear witness- in Old and New Testaments- of Jesus Christ as the center and culmination of the human story. He received a Master of Arts in Theology and Classics from the University of Notre Dame and a Master of Theology from Duke University. He posts regular Scriptural reflections five days a week at his substack and addresses a variety of subjects on his YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/kabane
Substack: https://seraphimhamilton.substack.com/

In this discussion with Seraphim, we talk about the book as a symbol. We discuss the Book of Life in Revelation, Scripture itself, literacy in early Christendom, the use of the codex over the scroll, the sacraments and sacred objects, memory, supplementarity, and more. Enjoy!

This is my second conversation with Paul Kingsnorth where we talk about his brilliant substack, called The Abbey of Misrule, civilization and control, the power of the state and our technological systems, the matrix, politics, what it takes for communities to survive, our relationship to technology and how we should orient ourselves in the coming trials.

I recently gave a talk at a college in Quebec about the book of Enoch and how it relates to the modern world and our ecological apocalyptic narrative. It was titled "Fallen Angels and the Contemporary Crisis". This is an English translation of that talk.

In this episode of the universal history series Richard Rohlin and I build on our previous discussion about Groundhog Day and its connection to the Orthodox feast of the Meeting of the Lord in the Temple, which is actually one of four winter feasts (The Entrance of the Theotokos to the Temple, the Nativity, Theophany and finally the Meeting of the Lord in the Temple). Together these four celebrations are a continuation of the Jewish feast of Hanukkah. This episode is all about their surrounding symbolism, liturgy, iconography and how they tie into the astronomical year. - Episode on Groundhog Day on YouTube: https://youtu.be/dX6PZBS1Q9Q - The Universal History series on YouTube: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVX4HUUPrIY_M2uZP3yW6EEiod3fGD6FD Recommended book: - The Stripping of the Altars: Traditional Religion in England, 1400-1580, by Eamon Duffy: https://www.amazon.com/Stripping-Altars-Traditional-Religion-1400-1580/dp/0300108281 ============= Richard’s work: - Richard Rohlin’s articles on The Symbolic World blog: https://thesymbolicworld.com/author/richard_rohlin/ - Amon Sûl podcast (Exploring the Tolkien Legendarium with the Christian Faith): https://www.ancientfaith.com/podcasts/amonsul - Amid Weeping There is Joy: https://www.amazon.com/Amid-Weeping-There-Joy-Perspectives/dp/1951536126 ============= Original video: https://youtu.be/MKQc7AZvK2A - The Symbolic World website and blog: http://www.thesymbolicworld.com - Merch: http://www.thesymbolicworld.store - Language of Creation, by Matthieu Pageau: https://www.amazon.com/Language-Creation-Cosmic-Symbolism-Genesis-ebook/dp/B07D738HD8 Support this podcast: - Website: https://thesymbolicworld.com/support/ - Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/pageauvideos - Subscribestar: https://www.subscribestar.com/jonathan-pageau - Paypal: http://www.paypal.me/JonathanPageau Join the conversation: - Unofficial Facebook discussion group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1989208418065298/ - The Symbolic World Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSymbolicWorld/ Social media links: - Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/TheSymbolicWorld - Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/pageaujonathan - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonathan.pageau

In this video, I interview Stephen Meyer about evolution, intelligent design, Darwinianism, the advent of the biological information age, and how it changed the debate about the origins of life. We discuss the questions of what life and mind are, and how pattern and mind are part of and participate in creation.

A former geophysicist and college professor, Stephen C. Meyer now directs Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture in Seattle. He has gained recent popularity about his perspective on evolution and appeared on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast.

My intro was arranged and recorded by Matthew Wilkinson.

In this podcast I talk about the symbolism of a conservative rebel. The stories of David and King Saul in Scripture can tell us a lot about how we can act today to resist a tyrannical system in the proper manner and without revolution.

Dr. Nathan Jacobs is a filmmaker, artist, scholar, writer and Orthodox Christian. He's the writer-director of the documentary film called Becoming Truly Human (2017), which looks at the religiously unaffiliated, or "Nones," as a growing demographic. In this conversation we discuss his journey to Orthodox Christianity and how it intersects with his work, the problems he experienced in Western Christian theology and how the Eastern Church Fathers resolve many Christian as well as modern problems like emergence, the multiverse, cognitive science etc. Check out Nathan’s work: https://www.nathanajacobs.com ================ Original video: https://youtu.be/zgVGpaWzgyY Thank you to Nicolás Hernández Moreno for creating this version of the intro music. - The Symbolic World website and blog: http://www.thesymbolicworld.com - Merch: http://www.thesymbolicworld.store - Language of Creation, by Matthieu Pageau: https://www.amazon.com/Language-Creation-Cosmic-Symbolism-Genesis-ebook/dp/B07D738HD8 Support this podcast: - Website: https://thesymbolicworld.com/support/ - Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/pageauvideos - Subscribestar: https://www.subscribestar.com/jonathan-pageau - Paypal: http://www.paypal.me/JonathanPageau Join the conversation: - Unofficial Facebook discussion group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1989208418065298/ - The Symbolic World Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSymbolicWorld/ Social media links: - Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/TheSymbolicWorld - Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/pageaujonathan - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonathan.pageau
