I'd like to welcome you to the Symbolic World podcast. On this episode, I'm playing for you a video I made called The Thrill of Death. And this video is related to my particular situation. Those who don't watch my videos, maybe don't know that my house in the month of April was flooded. We had to leave in a catastrophe with the kids.

making is all thanks to your generous support. So if you like what I'm doing, please consider

going to www.The symbolic world.com slash support. And there you will find ways that you can help out for supporters.

I offer early access to videos. I also, for certain tiers, people have the chance to ask questions

in advance on the Q&A. There are also tiers where you can have private discussions with me.

We also have monthly meetings. They're all

kinds of little goodies. But ultimately, I'm also, for all the supporters, even at the lowest tier,

I'm making an extra video every month, which is an interpretation of a traditional story, a myth or

legend or something like that. So I've been having a lot of fun making those extra videos because ultimately

that's what I really love is interpreting stories. So enjoy.

This is Jonathan Peugeot.

Welcome to the symbolic world.

Hello, everybody.

So I have to apologize, first of all, some of these videos that I've been making, the reason
