82 - There is No Literal Meaning
Support this channel: thesymbolicworld.com/support/ patreon: www.patreon.com/pageauvideos subscribestar: www.subscribestar.com/jonathan-pageau paypal: www.paypal.me/JonathanPageau The opposition between literal and metaphorical is as useless as it is damaging to understanding how reality actually unfolds in the Christian cosmology. I look at problems of the very concept in a neutral description of reality and how the notion of Symbol can give us a better alternative to meaning.

Ritual is inevitable in all human interaction even when someone is trying to rebel against their form.
