200 - Richard Rohlin - The Holy Grail: The Key to Understanding the West - Part 1

Expanding on a talk I gave last year called Pentecost for the Zombie Apocalypse, I discuss the meaning of the zombie and the monster in general as a portent of cultural patterns. By examining the traditional vision of the world and by exploring ancient stories. I trace a parallel to the development of modern art and contemporary culture through contemporary authors such as Jacques Derrida and John Vervaeke's recent book, "Zombies in Western Culture". Finally I explore the positive place of the monster in the figure of St-Christopher. This conference was given at Furman University in Greenville, South Carolina on March 15th, 2017.

John Vervaeke is a cognitive scientist and psychologist who teaches at the University of Toronto. He has won several teaching awards and is seen as a life changing lecturer by his students. We discuss the meaning crisis as the breakdown of the binding web offered by Christianity, as well as relevance realization and its relationship to the sacred.

In the Christian tradition, it is said that Adam and Eve were covered garments of light or garments of glory before the fall. After the fall, they are covered in garments of dead skins. I try to show what these traditions mean in relation to Being. I also explore the interesting relationship between the two garments and how the relationships is revealed to us in certain persistent mistakes of translation or of transcription which nonetheless show us an underlying pattern of the world.

Sacred spaces are not arbitrary, but are rather constructed in a particular way which show us what they are and also show us how space itself can become a specific place, a "here" which becomes the reference for identity.

I go through the surprisingly universal structure of Puss in Boots and how it's symbolism is an image of how a the last thing can become the first after crossing the waters of chaos.
