Summary

Our friend Jonathan Pageau gave a lecture on the conceptual structure of Genesis for an event that was orchestrated by the Montreal Jung Society. Jordan felt that this lecture would serve as a wonderful adjunct to his biblical series, also on Genesis, featured on this channel. Thank you to the Montreal Jung Society and Jonathan for letting us release this video on our channel. We hope that you find it useful. Visit sites.google.com/site/cgjungmontreal for more info on the Montreal Jung Society. Event Title: The Symbolic World - a lecture by Jonathan Pageau Event Description: “Meaning is showing itself to no longer be an overlay to an arbitrary world of phenomena, but rather the very pattern of reality. Through the questions of emergence, attention, and consciousness which have been permeating so many fields in the recent past, the reality of pattern, ritual and image have also come to the fore. Meaning is showing itself, in a burgeoning post-secular age, as no longer only a subjective overlay to an arbitrary world of phenomena, but rather the very pattern of reality itself. In this frame we come to realize that the archetypal truths are not mostly biological and mental constructs in humans; they are firstly the inescapable patterning of the indefinite potential of the world as it encounters intelligence.”

Aura frames are the perfect gift for this holiday season. The New York Times has vouched for them.

Hey, everybody. I'm going to put up a video from my colleague and friend, Jonathan Pazzo, Russian Orthodox icon carver, a great artist and a very profound thinker in my estimation.

2:03.8

About a month ago, so that would be October of 2021, I listened to a lecture he gave to the Montreal Jung Society on the conceptual structure of Genesis.

2:16.8

And I thought it was brilliant. It was like 20 years of thought packed into an hour of lecture and then also a brilliant Q&A that followed analyzing some iconic images in the Russian Orthodox tradition.

2:28.8

And I thought that it would make an excellent adjunct to my Biblical series on Genesis coming out from the different tack that Jonathan takes, elucidating the ideas that I had developed.

2:41.8

Oh, and certainly the ideas that he has developed. I always learned a lot from listening to Jonathan.
