Podcasts about Mircea Eliade

For thousands of years, people have claimed to encounter animal guides that offer wisdom, protection, healing, and spiritual insight. From ancient shamans and spirit guides to modern power animals and New Age practices, these traditions continue to influence millions of people today.But where did these ideas originate?Joel traces the history of familiar spirits, tutelary spirits, ancestral guides, and modern spirit animal teachings while examining their connections to occultism, esoteric societies, and contemporary spirituality. Along the way, he explores the symbolism attached to animals such as the wolf, bear, bat, raven, and dragon, as well as the role these beings play in shamanic journeying and mystical experiences. The conversation also ventures into deeper territory, examining Michael Harner's Core Shamanism, the rise of neoshamanism, the Sirius mysteries, spirit guides, and Aleister Crowley's teachings on ego death, Crossing the Abyss, and the City of the Pyramids. Are spirit animals merely symbolic archetypes? Are they psychological constructs? Are they spiritual entities? And what does Scripture have to say about seeking guidance from unseen spiritual beings?Join Joel as he investigates one of the most popular concepts in modern spirituality through the lens of history, occult traditions, and biblical discernment.Merchandise: https://freetherabbits.myshopify.comBuy Me A Coffee: DonateFollow: Website | Instagram | X | FacebookWatch: YouTube | RumbleMusic: YouTube | Spotify | Apple Music Films: https://merkelfilms.com Email: freetherabbitspodcast@gmail.comDistributed by: merkel.mediaIntro Music:Joel Thomas – Free The RabbitsYouTube | Spotify | Apple MusicOutro Music:Joel Thomas – GreyYouTube | Spotify | Apple MusicTopics DiscussedSpirit Animals, Power Animals, Totem Animals, Familiar Spirits, Spirit Guides, Shamanism, Neoshamanism, Animism, Michael Harner, Carlos Castaneda, Mircea Eliade, Native Traditions, Dog Star Sirius, Dogon Tribe, Freemasonry and Sirius, The Blazing Star, Occult Symbolism, Animal Totems, Wolf Symbolism, Bear Symbolism, Bat Symbolism, Dragon Symbolism, Raven Symbolism, Sheep Symbolism, Turkey Symbolism, Ladybug Symbolism, Ancestor Spirits, Tutelary Spirits, Familiars in European Folklore, Spirit Journeys, Vision Quests, Dreams and Spirit Animals, Aleister Crowley, Crossing the Abyss, Choronzon, Babalon, City of the Pyramids, Ego Dissolution, Biblical Discernment.

C'est un grand esprit du siècle qui nous a quittés ce 29 mai 2026 à l'âge de 104 ans. Sociologue, philosophe, humaniste, reconnu dans le monde entier, Edgar Morin, Docteur honoris causa de trente-huit universités à travers le monde, refusa toute sa vie l'enfermement dans une quelconque chapelle, développant au fil de sa vie une pensée décloisonnée et innovante. Connu comme le philosophe de la pensée complexe, Edgar Morin aura inlassablement tenté de faire dialoguer les savoirs, les arts, la science, la politique et la philosophie dans une démarche éclectique, en rupture avec la pensée cartésienne et réductrice. Article de la revue Acropolis de juin 2026 par Isabelle OHMANN, philosophe, rédactrice en chef de la Revue Acropolis.Abonnez-vous gratuitement à notre newsletter philosophique :www.revue-acropolis.comSaviez-vous que Nouvelle Acropole est réalisée à 100% par des bénévoles ?

From 1933 to 1988, the liberal spiritualist wing of the trans-Atlantic bourgeoisie had something of a think tank for spiritual and cult technology and grand strategy in the yearly gatherings of philosophers, psychologists, and anthropologists like Carl Jung, Mircea Eliade, and Gershom Scholem, known as Eranos and organized by the wealthy socialite and occultist Olga Fröbe-Kapteyn at a lakeside resort in Switzerland. Jung disciple Gustav Heyer memorably called their activities there Aetherhurerei “aether whoredom”. I am joined by Scott Ryan of The Dustlight Archives Podcast for the opening episode of a series on this little-known but very important gathering which has deep links both with earlier modern “gnostic” and bourgeois-occult, satanic-orientalist secret society movements, contemporaneous developments like the Nazis as well as the proto-hippie youth movements of which Nazism was the shadow, and also NXIVM and other present-day developments of the same social and spiritual technologies of the ruling-class vanguard, which Scott is covering so brilliantly on his show.

Neste episódio, exploramos o mito de Anat, uma das figuras mais inquietantes da tradição do antigo Oriente Próximo. Partindo de sua relação com Baal, mergulhamos em uma narrativa onde celebração, violência e êxtase se entrelaçam, revelando uma lógica simbólica em que criação e destruição não se opõem, mas se completam.A partir das leituras de Mircea Eliade, traçamos paralelos com outras tradições, especialmente com a figura de Durga, evidenciando a recorrência de deusas que destroem para regenerar. O episódio também dialoga com interpretações modernas, passando pelas reflexões de Camille Paglia e Sigmund Freud, que buscam compreender essas imagens à luz da psicologia e da cultura.Entre carnificina, canibalismo e transe, o mito de Anat é apresentado não como um excesso isolado, mas como expressão de uma estrutura simbólica profunda, ligada aos ciclos da natureza e às tensões entre ordem e caos.Um episódio sobre violência, fertilidade e os limites do humano diante das forças que o ultrapassam.

Carolina Vincenti"Fantasmi romeni"La Lepre Edizioniwww.lalepreedizioni.comGli esuli romeni che abitano questo libro sono le figure di un caleidoscopio. Cioran, allo stesso tempo genio e flâneur fallito, Sergio Calibidache, musicista idolatrato ma ostile alle registrazioni, Constantin Brancusi, punta di diamante dell'avanguardia che non amava parlare di sé, Paul Celan, poeta dell'agonia sublime, Panait Istrati, scrittore di novelle incantate, il “Gor'kij dei Balcani”. Con loro Mircea Eliade, il più illustre storico delle religioni del Novecento – ma anche incantevole romanziere e poeta – e Ioan Petru Culiano, sapientissimo gnostico ucciso all'apice della gloria accademica da un misterioso assassino. O ancora, Marta Bibescu, musa proustiana dei salotti della Belle Époque, Dimitri Cantemir, il principe visionario che aveva osservato alla fine del Seicento l'Europa decollare e la mezzaluna del Bosforo declinare ed Elena Ghica, formidabile principessa itinerante, archeologa, botanica, scrittrice e pioniera del pensiero liberale delle élite cosmopolite. Come una matrioska, ogni storia ne racchiude un'altra e contiene i semi della nostalgia di chi lascia il proprio mondo per addentrarsi in una nuova vita.Carolina Vincenti,nata a Bucarest e cresciuta a Beirut, si è laureata in Storia dell'arte a Roma, città in cui vive e che racconta da decenni nelle diverse lingue che conosce.

a Bible s'ouvre sur un formidable récit de création. Il commence par le chaos, comme une tempête, et le Souffle de Dieu qui s'approche, l'effleure. Commence alors un mouvement de création, étapes par étapes... Ce n'est pas faire injure à la Bible de parler pour ce genre de récits de "mythes bibliques". C'est une constatation, une reconnaissance de l'extraordinaire puissance de ces textes. En effet, on appelle "un mythe" un récit fondateur pour une culture, un peuple, une civilisation. C'est toujours une histoire vieille de plus de mil années disant l'origine du monde, une histoire qui appelle, qui inspire son lecteur pour qu'il participe à sa façon à l'harmonie et à la dynamique de ce monde. La (re)découverte de l'importance des mythes pour une civilisation a été très vive au XXe siècle, en particulier avec Claude Lévis-Strauss, Mircea Eliade, Paul Ricœur.

Em Hamnet, a personagem Agnes prepara plantas medicinais por meio da palavra falada.Ela vocaliza o nome, a função e o destino do preparo.Esse gesto não é literário.Ele expressa uma tecnologia ancestral de cuidado.Ao longo da história, celtas, nórdicos, tradições xamânicas e textos fundadores da cultura ocidental reconheceram a oralidade como instrumento de ativação do poder curativo.A voz organiza o campo terapêutico.A palavra convoca a função da planta.O verbo estrutura a realidade onde a cura acontece.Este vídeo explora a oralidade como arquitetura do cuidado, conectando Hamnet às tradições antigas, à antropologia de Mircea Eliade e à ideia do Verbo como princípio organizador da existência.A medicina moderna preservou a substância.As civilizações antigas dominavam o campo.Aqui, a cura é compreendida como processo que começa antes do contato físico, na voz, no sentido e na organização da experiência terapêutica.Ouça com atenção.SEU TRATAMENTO É O SEU MELHOR PARCEIRO PARA O SUCESSO CAPILAR.

Inner peace, as expressed by love, exists as goodness itself and is the strongest alternative to helplessness, resentment, hate, insanity, bitterness, and crazy violence. Here, we focus our attention on the capacity for a generous love that embraces such virtues as kindness, courage, forgiveness, gratitude, dignity for all, and hope. Stephen G. Post, Ph.D. is among a handful of individuals awarded the distinguished service award by the National Alzheimer's Association. In 2001 he founded The Institute for Research on Unlimited Love, which researches and distributes knowledge on kindness, giving and spirituality. Post served as a co-chair of the United Nations Population Fund Conference on Spirituality and Global Transformation. He's a professor in the Department of Preventative Medicine at Stony Brook University and founder and director of the Stony Brook Center for Medical Humanities, Compassionate Care and Bioethics.

Beyond magic lies myth, a series of stories and symbols a culture uses to understand itself and orient to a wider metaphysical reality. While early anthropologists tended to discard other cultures' myths as mere superstition and nonsense, thanks to pioneering comparative mythologists like Joseph Campbell, Mircea Eliade, and Georges Dumézil (among others), we can now explore a far more magical answer to the question... what is myth?

Is there such a thing as a universal human experience of the divine, or are all encounters shaped by culture, language, and power? In this video, we explore the classic debate between perennialism and constructivism, from William James and Mircea Eliade to Steven Katz, Talal Asad, and beyond. Drawing on philosophy, anthropology, psychology, and neuroscience, we look at how claims of universality are entangled with history and how particular traditions cultivate what we call “religious experience.”CONNECT & SUPPORT

Bhakti rituals have long been misunderstood—written off as primitive or irrelevant in the modern world. But beneath the surface, these practices contain a refined science of inner renewal and spiritual elevation. In this episode of Wisdom of the Sages, Raghunath and Kaustubha dive deep into the profound wisdom of devotional rituals, revealing how they serve as a gateway to sacred time, purifying the heart and mind. Drawing from the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam and the insights of Romanian religious scholar Mircea Eliade, they uncover the forgotten power of worship in breaking free from the constraints of ordinary perception.

In this episode, Megan and Frank discuss the philosophical dimensions of prehistory. What and when is the “prehistoric”? How was prehistory "discovered", and what explains our fascination with it? Is ancient archeology safe from our biases? And how did archaic man's meaning-making differ from our own? Thinkers discussed include: Colin Renfrew, Hegel, Charles Taylor, Mircea Eliade, and Wittgenstein.-----------------------Hosts' Websites:Megan J Fritts (google.com)Frank J.

Today we're discussing a book by religion and philosophy professor Jeffrey Kripal (Rice University), called How to Think Impossibly: About Souls, UFOs, Time, Belief, and Everything Else (University of Chicago Press, 2024). He seems to be suggesting…that we should believe…in impossible things. Miracles. Levitation. UFOs. Archetypes. And many other things Leah and Brian were told not to believe in during their time in secular graduate programs, of the type that Kripal himself would seem to teach in. What is happening here? We explore.

Cyrille Boland, marcheur passionné, a eu l'idée de créer un nouveau chemin au cœur de la Provence, sur les pas de Marie-Madeleine. À l'origine, celui qui se décrit comme un enfant des bois, des mares et des champs, a d'abord connu « quelques déboires scolaires », avant de découvrir de « nouvelles voies d'évasion ». À l'âge de 20 ans, la pratique de la randonnée en montagne a été une révélation pour lui. Il a ensuite croisé des voyageurs comme Sylvain Tesson et Alexandre Poussin. Il a marché de plus en plus, vers Compostelle ou vers Assise. En même temps, il a développé une fréquentation amoureuse de la Provence qui aura de l'importance quelques années plus tard. Entre temps, la découverte de Lanza del Vasto, pèlerin ou vagabond, poète ou mystique, notamment inspiré par Gandhi, a également été déterminante pour lui. Avant de se convertir à l'Orthodoxie qu'il pratique aujourd'hui avec son épouse Marie. Il y a quelques années, au cœur d'un hiver breton un peu trop long et trop gris, il a eu l'idée d'une première marche en Provence. Cyrille a suivi les traces de Marie-Madeleine, dont la tradition dit que, fuyant les persécutions des premiers chrétiens, elle aurait accosté les rives des Saintes-Marie de la Mer, accompagnée notamment de Marthe et de Lazare. Cyrille Boland nous raconte ici comment, au fil des années, il a cherché, balisé et organisé un tracé alors inexistant. Depuis, une association est née, de nombreux acteurs locaux se sont joints, des solutions d'hébergement ont été créées. Il y a quelques semaines, nous découvrions le Tro Breiz avec Gaële de la Brosse, qui nous raconte l'évangélisation de la Bretagne. Ici, Cyrille Boland nous révèle l'histoire de la christianisation du sud de la France, notamment à Marseille, à Aix en Provence, à Avignon et bien-sûr à la Sainte Baume. Aller sur les pas de Marie-Madeleine prend évidemment une signification particulière. L'occasion aussi pour Cyrille Boland de nous dire sa compréhension de cette immense figure féminine, et le rayonnement qu'elle exerce sur nos vies. Cyrille Boland nous invite à un voyage à la fois touristique, dans des lieux parmi les plus beaux de France, et initiatique. Il s'inspire aussi de Mircea Eliade, pour qui tout voyage comporte une mort au profane, celle qui permet d'accéder à un mode de vie nouveau, et éminemment spirituel. L'homme moderne n'est pas parvenu à désacraliser entièrement le monde. Les aventures initiatiques sont à notre portée, celles qui nous permettent de raviver les mythes, les traditions et les légendes, comme celle de Marie-Madeleine en Provence. Pour nous permettre de toucher au sacré, d'embellir le réel, et d'écouter la parole parfois mystérieuse du divin.

Ep. 140 (Part 1 of 2) | Author, psychiatrist, professor, and Deep Transformation podcast co-host Roger Walsh was drawn to explore the remarkable world of shamanism—a tradition of opening to altered states, intuition, and profound insights and wisdom—when he found it was the one great world tradition he didn't understand. He was intrigued by Romanian scholar Mircea Eliade's description of the core feature of a shaman being “ecstatic flight,” and recognizing the lack of any easy to understand book on the subject, Roger was inspired to pursue this subject in depth and write the book himself! In his book and in this conversation, Roger provides us with a brilliant, big picture perspective, pointing out that at the heart of shamanism (and every great world tradition) are psychospiritual technologies—actual practices—that lead us to the doorway of the Great Mystery, and that service is the culmination of each tradition, both as a means to and an expression of one's realization.The dialogue is warm, open, and personal—Roger shares his experience of realizing the vastness of the inner world for the first time (“I felt like I'd lived my entire life on the top six inches of a wave on top of an ocean I didn't even know existed!”), his realization that “as a culture, we are sleepwalking through life, unaware of the resources, capacities and gifts we bear within us,” and his coming to terms with the Great Mystery. John, too, shares his experiences within the Native American spiritual tradition: the power of the vision quest, prayer, drumming in ceremony, death medicine, and enduring trials in service to one's people. Roger's wonderful curiosity, integrity, graciousness, and keen intellect are all in evidence as he discusses the indeterminacy of spirit, mediumship, journeying, and death, and as he marvels at the bottomless, boundless mystery that both surrounds us and is us. Recorded June 27, 2024.“Not only does the Great Mystery surround us, but we are Mystery—our own being is Mystery.”(For Apple Podcast users, click here to view the complete show notes on the episode page.)Topics & Time Stamps – Part 2The ethos of service at the heart of shamanism (00:55)Service is the culmination of shamanism—and every world tradition—both as a means to and an expression of one's realization (02:20)Opening to the Great Mystery: we really don't know what is going on (05:06)Castaneda's 4 challenges to becoming a person of knowledge, particularly the challenge of clarity (09:08)Transconceptual intuition and Ken Wilber's vision-logic (12:11)What about death?

Welcome back to The Literary Life podcast and our series on J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter: Book 1. After sharing some thoughts on detective fiction as it relates to Rowling, our hosts Angelina Stanford and Thomas Banks discuss chapters 8-12. Some of the ideas they share are the following: Homeric echos and classical allusions in this book, the identity quest, the significance of characters' names, the four houses and the bestiary, the three parts of the soul, the Christian influence on Rowling's stories. Angelina also seeks to teach something about symbolism and structure of literature and art as seen through the Harry Potter books. Visit HouseofHumaneLetters.com for updates on classes with Angelina, Thomas, and other members of their teaching team.

W. Somerset Maugham, from The Narrow Corner For it is through symbols that man finds his way out of his particular situation and “opens himself” to the general and the Universal. Symbols awaken individual experience and transmute it into a spiritual act, into metaphysical comprehension of the world. Mircea Eliade, from The Sacred and the Profane The Fairies By William Allingham Up the airy mountain, Down the rushy glen,We daren't go a-hunting For fear of little men;Wee folk, good folk, Trooping all together;Green jacket, red cap, And white owl's feather!Down along the rocky shore Some make their home,They live on crispy pancakes Of yellow tide-foam;Some in the reeds Of the black mountain lake,With frogs for their watch-dogs, All night awake.High on the hill-top The old King sits;He is now so old and gray He's nigh lost his wits.With a bridge of white mist Columbkill he crosses,On his stately journeys From Slieveleague to Rosses;Or going up with music On cold starry nightsTo sup with the Queen Of the gay Northern Lights.They stole little Bridget For seven years long;When she came down again Her friends were all gone.They took her lightly back, Between the night and morrow,They thought that she was fast asleep, But she was dead with sorrow.They have kept her ever since Deep within the lake,On a bed of flag-leaves, Watching till she wake.By the craggy hill-side, Through the mosses bare,They have planted thorn-trees For pleasure here and there.If any man so daring As dig them up in spite,He shall find their sharpest thorns In his bed at night.Up the airy mountain, Down the rushy glen,We daren't go a-hunting For fear of little men;Wee folk, good folk, Trooping all together;Green jacket, red cap, And white owl's feather!

Os documentos etnográficos mais importantes e numerosos da pré-história estão nas cavernas, nas artes rupestres. O que intriga pesquisadores como Leroi Gourhan é que essas artes possuem uma extraordinária unidade de conteúdo artístico e temático. Na arte rupestre, há uma predominância de representações de animais: ursos, leões, lobos ou tigres crivados de flechas, além de cervos, corujas, bisões e camurças. Era também nas cavernas que ocorriam os nascimentos, pois eram lugares seguros, vistos e celebrados como verdadeiros santuários. Essa imagem pode passar despercebida para a maioria das pessoas, mas certamente não escapava aos homens de curiosidade mística. Leia mais.

É um consenso científico que o dia do homem paleolítico era alternado entre tentar se alimentar e procurar abrigo. Basicamente, qualquer esforço adicional a essa rotina poderia ser fatal e colocá-lo em risco. O homem nessas condições extremas deveria se reduzir ao que é eficiente e utilitário. Nem um alimento poderia ser desperdiçado; nenhuma energia deveria ser gasta em vão. No entanto, o que sempre intrigou os estudiosos é a descoberta de que o homem paleolítico, de Chu-ku-tien até a costa ocidental da Europa, na África até o cabo da Boa Esperança, na Austrália, na Tasmânia, na América até a Terra do Fogo, se preocupava com ritos funerários. De um ponto de vista prático, o abandono puro e simples de corpos em matagais seria o esperado. Veja mais.

What is Islamic Esotericism, and how does it relate to Western Esotericism? Thanks to Liana Saif's work, we delve into Islamic esotericism within the broader context of global esoteric traditions, critically assessing the field's traditional focus on Western esotericism. We scrutinize the foundational role of scholars like Mircea Eliade and Henry Corbin in shaping Western-centric esoteric narratives. The episode addresses key questions: - How has Western-centric scholarship influenced the study of Islamic esotericism? - What are the challenges and implications of integrating Islamic esoteric traditions into a global esoteric framework? - How do cultural, religious, and historical factors intersect in the practice of esotericism across societies? Through the insights of Wouter Hanegraaff and Kennet Granholm, the episode urges a reevaluation of esoteric studies to embrace the richness of traditions that transcend the East-West dichotomy. It raises important issues related to cultural exchange, identity, and the aftermath of colonialism in shaping esoteric practices. The work of Naṣr Ḥāmid Abū Zayd is highlighted, emphasizing philosophical inquiry in the interpretation of sacred texts within Islamic mys CONNECT & SUPPORT

In episode 10 of the Transcendent Naturalism series, Dr. John Vervaeke, Gregg Henriques, and guest Brett Andersen delve into the intricate relationship between science, spirituality, and modern mythology. The episode is a tour de force of intellectual exploration, covering topics from self-organizing criticality to the philosophy of order and chaos. Andersen offers a compelling presentation on the role of modern myths like the Matrix trilogy in understanding our complex world. Dr. Vervaeke and Henriques provide counterpoints and extensions to Andersen's arguments, enriching the discussion with their own expertise in philosophy and psychology. The episode also explores the role of consciousness in collective intelligence and the tension between individual experience and societal norms.    Brett Andersen, a Ph.D. student in Evolutionary Psychology at the University of New Mexico, is a compelling voice at the intersection of cognitive science, complexity science, and the philosophical underpinnings of morality and religion. With a penchant for delving into controversial topics, Brett crafts thought-provoking essays on Substack and produces insightful YouTube videos. He's also in the process of writing a book, slated for a free PDF release, that encapsulates seven years of rigorous research across scientific and philosophical literature.   Resources: Brett Andersen: Substack | YouTube | X Gregg Henriques: Website | Facebook | X   Books: Maps of Meaning: The Architecture of Belief - Dr. Jordan Peterson Is There Anything Good About Men?: How Cultures Flourish by Exploiting Men - Roy Baumeister Warriors and Worriers: The Survival of the Sexes - Joyce Benenson Dynamics in Action: Intentional Behavior as a Complex System - Alicia Juarrero Finitude and Transcendence in the Platonic Dialogues - Drew A.

Did you ever wonder why certain movies resonate with audiences all over the world? Why some grab you for two hours in the dark, but then like so much cinematic MSG, you forget these flash-in-the-pans by the time you get to the car – while others hold you in their spell for years? This is the mystery I explore with Father Robert Spitzer, SJ, president of the Magis Center of Reason and Faith in Irvine, CA. Digging into a fascinating section of his book The Soul's Upward Yearning: Clues to Our Transcendent Nature from Experience and Reason, Father Spitzer and I talk about the Power of Myth at work in four of the top movie franchises of Hollywood history: Star Wars, Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings, and The Chronicles of Narnia films. Turns out, these examples all share certain common elements that invite the viewer (or reader, if the book) into an adventure that forces a choice, a crisis, which leads ultimately a catharsis, or cleansing of the soul. But, as is his wont, the Jesuit scholar goes deeper than the platitudes about nice music and great dialogue. You'll learn about Rudolf Otto and the numinous, Carl Jung and archetypes, Joseph Campbell and the hero's journey, and Mircea Eliade and mythical structure. I know, I know, it this sounds too deep for mere mortals. Give it a chance. Stretching a bit mentally pays handsome dividends, including a new appreciation for what makes great movies great.  

Ramsey Dukes, also known by his real name of Lionel Snell, may be one of the most important thinkers on magic since Aleister Crowley. In the impishly-titled Sex Secrets of the Black Magicians Exposed (or SSOTBME for short), Dukes accomplishes something few writers on the topic have been able to do: he gives us magic without asking us to sacrifice anything that makes us sensible modern people. He makes magic seem like the most obvious thing in the world, and he does it without taking away any of its, well, magic. How he does it and what it means are questions that would take several episodes to unpack. In this one, Phil and JF begin the work by discussing how Dukes situates magic in an epistemic compass that also includes science, art, and religion. This set of tools is as essential to a holistic view of reality as the four suits in a deck of cards are essential to a proper poker game. In other words, when we lose magic, we lose a way of dealing with reality.

On his last speaking tour, he visited thirty plus number of countries speaking on the twelve rules and continues to foster relationships and connections with thinkers, speakers, and fans from around the globe.Shownotes:[00:00] Jordan Petersons is interviewed in this episode by Mikhail Avdeev, a member of his foreign translations team. The interview focuses on the impact of Petersons work beyond the western world on the international community as a whole. They begin the discussion by talking about the forming of the international translation teams.[02:00] The healing effect of Jordan's lectures on people's personal life. The outcry for new material from jordans catalog of books, lectures, and podcasts has been overwhelming. [05:20] Peterson comments on another personal favorite author of his Mircea Eliade and his history of Religious Ideas. It's an anthropological and sociological assessment of religion but it's also deeply psychological.[06:40] How do Russian views respond to Jordan's affinity for Alexander Solzhenitsyn? Mikail details the feelings of the Russian people by their portrayal after the fall of communism.[10:00] How we deal with the guilt of the things our ancestors or society has done is a very difficult question because as humans we are very historical creatures. The best thing for us is to try to understand what happened and therefore try not to do it again in the future because all of us are living with this to some degree.[13:30] examining the trope that all white people are racist or white supremacist and this stems from the existential guilt of history.[20:00] Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, and Daniel Dennett seem to equate that religious belief is a set of propositions about the material world, in a way a direct competitor to scientific theory, and that's just not fully accurate. There is something outside of strictly rationality in the human experience.[34:20] Fragmentation of the value structure necessarily leads to an increased level of constant anxiety in all experience[36:30] What parts of modern society are contributing to the integrity of consciousness, and what things are degrading that. A hatred for real success and striving for personal gain will tear us apart if it continues unchecked.[43:30] There is no doubt that economic exploitation occurs and that some wealth is gained in an unethical manner, but that is not the rule.[45:45] - Asking about the importance of beauty in all of our personal experiences as well as our collective experience as humans.[51:00] interesting to consider the differences in Fyodor Dostoevsky and Friedrich Nietzsche closeness to the ideal of beauty[56:30] The complexity of the language of Beyond Order:12 More Rules for Life. What is Jordan's process for increasing the precision of his speech and writing? [1:03:30] The divinity of the true word and the way this has been translated through Jordan's book Beyond Order. Peterson's philosophy behind good writing and text structure of a truly complete work.[1:13:40] Mikhaila Peterson has had to choose to be strong because she has had so much suffering to overcome in her life. It's wonderful to see her succeeding in her personal endeavors like her weekly podcast.[1:20:15] How do we best teach our children in a way that fosters their individual growth and a love of learning.
