Esau steals the garments of skin and then is chased for so long

that he is completely exhausted and completely famished.

And so he bursts into Jacob's tent and he trades his birthright.

But now, in the context of our story, what is Esau's birthright?

And this is, of course, where we could kind of push these things further,

because Esau's birthright in this context is the garments of skin.

Why? Because Esau is in some ways something of Cain in his approach, in what he is, as being the older brother,

being the older brother that wanted to kill Jacob. But he's also the descendant of Seth. And so

by stealing the skins back from Nimrod, he is taking back his birthright.

But immediately, he, because of his weakness and because of his excess and because he's a passionate

person, then he immediately gives up his treasure for something as immediate as his belly. This is Jonathan Peugeot.

talked to me and told me about their own experiences and their own kind of discovery of the symbolic

world. And so I thought I could take you on a little bit of a trip to see how the idea,

the ideas that I deal with enter the symbolic world, as well as that which led me to orthodoxy,

but also that which also led me to write with my brother
