251 - The Kingdom Of Heaven Aug 31, 2022

Show notes

This video is complementary to my recent video reacting to Sam Harris, called "Where is Heaven?". I further discuss what Scripture means with heaven and the Kingdom of Heaven and how it applies symbolically to our daily life. Where Is Heaven?

250 - Where Is Heaven? A Response To Sam Harris Aug 23, 2022

Show notes

A clip surfaced of Sam Harris from a recent interview he did on Triggernometry where he expressed incredulity about the apparent absurdity of the idea of “heaven”, given that we have telescopes and satellites that have never observed it. In this podcast I respond to that sort of literalism and confusion about what heaven means from an ancient and symbolic perspective.

This is a repost of the May 2022 patron-only video about Marvel's Spider-Man: No Way Home and how the multiverse theme not only plays in with postmodernism but also how it can be used to return to a traditional vision.

247 - Michael Martin and Nate Hile - Esoteric Christianity Aug 06, 2022

Show notes

This video is a repost from Nate’s channel, ‘Grail Country’. We discuss Valentin Tomberg’s book ‘Meditations on the Tarot: A Journey into Christian Hermeticism’ and Christian esotericism more generally, how different esoteric perspectives unfolded throughout history, Rosicrucianism, freemasonry, perennialism and how these traditions deviate from Orthodox mysticism. We also discuss evolution and natural selection as a mythical narrative.

245 - Prof. Donald Hoffman - Proving Ancient Wisdom Through Mathematics Jul 27, 2022

Show notes

Donald Hoffman is a cognitive psychologist and popular science author. He is a professor in the Department of Cognitive Sciences at the University of California, Irvine, with joint appointments in the Department of Philosophy, the Department of Logic and Philosophy of Science, and the School of Computer Science. He studies consciousness, visual perception and evolutionary psychology using mathematical models and psychophysical experiments. In this interview we discuss Prof. Hoffman’s work and theories on consciousness and the nature of reality, the limits of space-time, what evolution says about consciousness and how the latest mathematical theories about consciousness reflect positively on many ancient spiritual traditions.

244 - The Wages of Sin Is Death Jul 22, 2022

Show notes

In this podcast episode I discuss the famous passage in Romans 6:23, “ For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” We will explore the larger context of why St. Paul says this, how it relates to a fractal reality rather than only being a moral statement, and how it can ultimately help us understand emergence, emanation and our own salvation in Christ.

243 - Dr. Iain McGilchrist - Beyond Materialism - The Matter With Things Jul 13, 2022

Show notes

In this long-awaited discussion with Dr. Iain McGilchrist I ask him several questions about his work. We discuss the medieval worldview, the Renaissance, participation and transformation, and what he thinks is the way forward and the role of religion. We also talk about the processual aspect of creation, the role of the body in Christianity and the restorative magic of attending. Enjoy.
