Wasn't going to post this but it expresses a real part of the challenge (and opportunity) with regards to new idea exploration in the midst of a pandemic. :)

Putting some feelers out there to gauge interest in a reading group centered around Symbolism: What it is, How it works and Why it matters. Currently thinking of a monthly group for Patreon supporters and then go from there.
We will be looking at the phenomenology of Symbolism- how this fundamental pattern shows up for us in the world as well as relevant and practical applications.

This portion of this just released discussion between Jordan Hall and John Vervaeke exemplifies beautifully the function of Heaven and Earth as outlined in Matthieu Pageau's book "The Language of Creation: Cosmic Symbolism in Genesis".
I appreciate Vervaeke and Hall very much, but I'd argue that Pageau gets more to the root of the matter with his explication of fundamental symbolism found in the heart of his book.

This is an attempt at a brief recapitulation of the ideas put forth in these two videos (linked below) released by Jordan Hall articulating the concept of the "mind virus".
Jordan is one of a few sense makers asking the difficulty but absolutely necessary questions, along with Bret & Eric Weinstein, Daniel Schmachtenberger, David Fuller (Rebel Wisdom), John Vervaeke, Jonathan Pageau and a handful of others.
