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.

23- The Symbolism of the Tree

The Tree can be seen as a symbol of order as it converges into the one, but it can also be seen as order as it separates into the many.

22- The Symbolism of Christmas - The Ass and the Ox

22- The Symbolism of Christmas - The Ass and the Ox

The notion that there was an ass, or a donkey, and an ox present at the birth of Christ is not in the Bible, yet it is one of the earliest and most persistent images in the representations of the Nativity even until today. I explore the symbolism surrounding this Christmas tradition and how it shows us the purpose of extra-biblical traditions. It connects with notions of the incarnation, purity and how extreme elements are brought together in Christ. For more on this, please check two of my article. - The Ass and the Ox in the Nativity Icon: https://www.orthodoxartsjournal.org/why-an-ass-and-an-ox-in-the-nativity-icon/ - The Cave in the Nativity Icon: https://www.orthodoxartsjournal.org/the-cave-in-the-nativity-icon/ Original video: https://youtu.be/xUOBZoFEeWQ My links: patreon: https://www.patreon.com/pageauvideos paypal: https://www.paypal.me/JonathanPageau website: http://www.thesymbolicworld.com facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheSymbolicW... twitter: https://twitter.com/pageaujonathan My website designers, Anomalist Design: https://www.anomalistdesign.com/ The music at the opening is Russian Eastern Overture, by Rimsky Korsakov.
