362 - Dr. Martin Shaw - Christian Wonder Tales

"The soul is not fed entirely by logic, we are fed by images. Ideas are interesting, but when we want to be absolutely poleaxed by wonder it is a story that's going to do it."

I had a wonderful discussion with the captivating storyteller and mythographer, Dr. Martin Shaw, about the value of - not only understanding - but also telling and entering into stories. We talk about the various traditions of storytelling covered in his upcoming course, how to approach these tales of our inheritance, the modern taming of Christianity, and how Bible stories are different from pagan and more peripheral myths.

Mythographer, writer, and storyteller Dr Martin Shaw takes us deep into the heart of what he calls Christian Wonder Tales. Profoundly mythic, these teaching stories range from the early saints through to the grandeur of the Round Table and Arthurian tradition. Shaw emphasises these stories as remerging providentially on time for the perils of modern life. Filled with vocation, sacrifice, and courage, these are an inheritance many of us simply didn’t know we had.

Support this channel: thesymbolicworld.com/support/ patreon: www.patreon.com/pageauvideos subscribestar: www.subscribestar.com/jonathan-pageau paypal: www.paypal.me/JonathanPageau The symbolism of extra-terrestrial life follows ancient mythical and symbolic structures of how the world lays itself out between known and unknown. In this talk I explore several movies with aliens to discover the different facets of this phenomena and how they connect together to give a coherent picture of what it means to be an "alien".

42 - Understanding the Last Judgement

Support this channel: thesymbolicworld.com/support/ patreon: www.patreon.com/pageauvideos subscribestar: www.subscribestar.com/jonathan-pageau paypal: www.paypal.me/JonathanPageau The traditional icon of the last judgement is a very complex image which is both the synthesis of Christian typology as well as an image of the eschatological finality of all things. It is basically an image of the structure of reality. All the elements of the icon are analyzed in light of the structure of being and how we participate in its unfolding. The image interpreted was painted by fr. Luke Dingman and can be purchased at Orthodox Images: http://www.orthodoximages.com/feasts_other.html The talk was given as St-john Chrysostom Byzantine Catholic Church in Seattle.
