390 - Genesis: Symbolism in the Creation Story

390 - Genesis: Symbolism in the Creation Story

This is a talk I did a few years ago for the Jung Society of Montreal. In it I explore the creation story in Genesis not just as myth, but as a fractal map of how identity, being, and purpose function. In breaking down the symbolism I also make a case for why intelligence isn’t an accident, why rituals matter, and why participation of intelligent beings is foundational to reality. In the Q&A section we touch on group identity, exclusion, dreams, and the meaning of the Last Judgment among other topics. I hope this lecture gives you a sense of the tone and depth of our upcoming Symbolism Masterclass. If you want to learn more, register today.

Support this channel: thesymbolicworld.com/support/ patreon: www.patreon.com/pageauvideos subscribestar: www.subscribestar.com/jonathan-pageau paypal: www.paypal.me/JonathanPageau We see an increasing trope in popular culture of inverting the masculine and the feminine. Traditional symbolism of the church offers a powerful and beautiful alternative to this war of the sexes. This talk was given at Furman University on Sept. 10th, 2018 and was sponsored by the Orthodox Christian Fellowship.

36- The Problem with Monotheism | Santa and the Tooth Fairy Pt. 2

The idea of Monotheism vs. Polytheism is an inadequate way of describing reality. When we view the world as hierarchies of principalities which point towards an infinite God, so many aspects of the world and the Bible take on their full meaning.

35- Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy Exist

We help people understand how beings that are not concrete and measurable, can nonetheless exist, and inevitably so. Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy are often the examples used by atheists to explain how they have come to not believe in imaginary beings who do not exist and that it was the same process which led them to stop believing in God.
