I'd like to welcome you to the 13th episode of the Symbolic World podcast.

In this episode, I am playing back the first discussion I had on my channel with my brother, Mathieu.

Matsur, as we were discussing what you will hear, he was writing a book, and his book has been published since then.

The name of the book is the language of creation by Matthew Peugeot.

And so you can look that up on Amazon.

It is very much worth reading as it presents a powerful synthesis of symbolic ideas and symbolic structure,

reading the book of Genesis in the Bible, but in a

manner which applies to reality as a whole.

And so this was the first discussion I had on the channel, and we're looking at helping the

modern person understand what symbolism is and what function it can have for us today.

And so enjoy.

This is Jonathan Peugeot.

Welcome to the symbolic world.

So, hello everybody. I'd like to introduce you to my brother, Matthew, and some of you might have seen Matthew.

We did a conversation with Jordan Peterson and all three of us discussing the story of Abraham.

And so Matthew and I, we're used to speaking, we're used to talking about symbolism together.

We've been talking about it since, I mean, since we were

teenagers. And so we decided that we're going to try to have this conversation online to talk

about what symbolism is, you know, what are the categories and what are the criteria for a proper

symbolic interpretation of a story.

But hopefully we'll be able to do it because we have our own shortcuts and our own way of talking about things.

So we're going to make a big effort to be comprehensible to everybody.
