I'd like to welcome you to the Symbolic World podcast. On this episode, I will be playing for you a

conference that I gave in Seattle at a conference called Shared Inheritance, which was a

conference organized by Byzantine Catholics, which Orthodox speakers were also invited.

Father Stephen Freeman, who has been on this channel, You've heard him on the podcast, was also there.

And it was a great time.

And I tried to look a little bit more about how the Orthodox tradition,

how the Christian mystical tradition offers us a perception,

a way of understanding the human person, which can be very helpful for us today. You know,

helpful for us to understand this notion of the center and the periphery, this idea of

attention, of memory, all of these questions that are becoming primordial in science of consciousness

and in all the, let's say the new the new questions that

have been asked by people like jordan peterson john vervaki and other um i was trying to to give

some keys to that using the church fathers as a as a backdrop and so um as you know everything I'm doing here on the Symbolic World podcast is

thanks to your support. So if you like what I'm doing, please consider going to the symbolic

world.com slash support. And there you will find different ways which you can help out the podcast.

For all the supporters, I'm offering early access to some of the videos. There are all kinds

of tiers, tiers where you can ask early questions in advance on the Q&A, tiers where you can have

private discussions with me or enter into small groups that I'm leading. And ultimately,

though, for all the supporters, I'm making one extra video a month, which is the interpretation of a fairy tale, a myth or some ancient legend.

And I've been having a lot of fun making those. So please enjoy. This is Jonathan Peugeot. Welcome to the symbolic world. So for those who were here last night, you heard Father Stephen speak,

and it's been a few times that I've talked after Father Stephen.

It's always a bit daunting to speak after Father Stephen.
