Paradoxes cannot be understood within the bounds of empiricism. Paradoxes require a higher form of knowing: wisdom. You're a paradox.

The origins of the religions and myths around the world are deeply rooted in the cosmos, in the language of astrology. The birth of Christ is the rising of the Sun after a perceived standstill on the Winter Solstice, then begins the 12 days of Christmas as we journey through the 12-spoked zodiac wheel, the 12 archetypes creating our world through the experience of subjective time.

Understanding the real meaning of Christian holidays like Christmas and the Epiphany, as well as the Winter Solstice and archetypal winter season, help us better understand this thing called life. Beyond the dogma around the world, at the root, at the seed, is always the eternal wisdom, waiting to rise again.

An introduction to the different terms: soul, psyche, heart, ego, mind, and consciousness, with a bit of an emphasis on what is the soul. Soul is psyche and it's the energy that connects consciousness or spirit to matter. It resonates as emotions, energy in motion, in our nervous system and in our bodies, then read as thoughts in the mind. Heart is that place of connection, beyond the defensive layers of the ego on top of it.

A walk through the dimensions of conscious awareness using the numbers zero through four, from emptiness to the non-dual states of pure awareness ("I am...") to the duality of opposites to the trinity of three-dimensional space, to the four points of Earth. From nothing to something, to the multitude of oneness in everything.

Intro Episode - For there to be a coherence to the whole, to engage with everything, requires all modes of knowing, a synthesis beyond materialism or idealism. You cannot understand the universe, the world, or yourself from only one perspective, but need all parts. Our society has overvalued an outer knowing, which relies on public consensus to fill the void of the inner unknowing and ridiculed what should be the highest form of knowledge: inner revelation. And if we really want to engage with everything, we’ll need to understand our human experience. Fortunately, there is a philosophy for that and it’s the source of the world's religions and the human mind's myths: the zodiac wheel. We’ve just forgotten.

Welcome! Philosophy of Everything is podcast about the coherence of the whole: a synthesis of the parts within and without. The zodiac, the universe's clock and source of the mind's myths and world's religions, is the seed pattern of temporal subjective awareness, helping us explore the complex, living systems of the universe, from psyche to culture to consciousness to the nature of reality. This is about the wonder, will, and wisdom to navigate the human experience and endlessly transform, as infinity intends.

This is a coherence of all the time in the world, as told through the love of wisdom, the nurturing and healing kind of wisdom (the Sophia kind). Wisdom/philosophy is meant to be the faculty of the heart, because wisdom is a paradox. We've just forgotten.

The world is becoming increasingly more complex. We can no longer be led by materialism, binary thinking, nor can we be told what the universe is by those who don't even know who they are. I hope you follow along!
