The serendipity of John Vervaeke and Jonathan Pageau’s ideas becoming embodied in physicality in my life is astounding. I just had my birthday and my mother gifted me the painting from John’s Meaning Crisis series where it always starts off with that beautiful, lovely piano music. I had told my mom a little bit about Vervaeke so I thought she got me that because of him. But she didn’t, the painting reminded her of an essay I wrote in community college about overcoming familial disfunction; using fog and dust as metaphors of things that get in the way of us seeing our best selves. Thank you, all of you. David, John, and Jonathan. You are such a loving presence spreading love into the physical realm. Thank you 🙏
That piano music is Gymnopedie no. 1 by Erik Satie (Satie is also the word for remembering the being mode). I don’t even know if John was aware of this when producing the opening, but the synchronicities seem to flow from him. What a beautiful painting and wonderful gift to receive.
love the format, so refreshing seeing people interacting face to face. Felt like I was sitting in the fourth seat at the table. Fantastic innovation. Great content too.
"Is there an aspect of faith that is respondingto a call of beauty from a higher level" Wow! Thank you so much for this. Let the beauty of above be manifest in and amongst us. And bring with it the wonder to allow it into our hearts, that it may give us the humility to evolve. Thanking you all for committing to find each others deeper truths, and allowing the hermeneutics of beauty be made in reality. ❤️❤️
53:00 the compliment that Vervaeke is giving to Pageau is 100% right, but this is my personal experience of listening to both of them actually. Blowing apart something very familiar and providing insights that induce awe and wonder in people.
Vervake’s vocabulary is so impressive. He really strives to say exactly what he’s thinking, and the result pays off I. The comprehension and understanding
Yes one it is difficult to convey how wonderful it is to hear such a touching and touching and genuine conversation among men using their true brain and heart
What a valuable lesson about fellowship demonstrated by two men with very different backgrounds meeting for deep and meaningful conversation trying to understand the difficulties of meaning making in todays culture.
It brings so much warmth to my heart to see the difference between Jonathan and John interacting by video versus seeing them interact face to face. Everything Jonathan has been saying about getting off the internet and seeing real people is itself being demonstrated. The human friendship is beautiful.
All of you guys put on a great show. Although, I do want to say to Jonathan keep up the good work and all glory to Christ my brother. Sincerely, your Catholic brother in the Lord ✝✝✝
Beautiful ❤️ Thank you for the privilege of listening in on this wonderful conversation - so many points of connection between them, so much confidence in truth. It is inspiring!
The "Hermenutics of Suspicion" sounds like the sole actions of the 'accuser/satan'. The notion of beauty and being drawn into wonder is exactly what I see with my kids, which I'm learning from. Thanks John, Jonathan, and David!
Suspicion is not bad at all times, there is a proper time for mistrust (i e. when snake tells you to eat a fruit). Hermeneutics of suspicion is problematic in alienation from hermeneutics of beauty. Isn't that what John meant? Like here: 58:01
And I want to say that this dialogs gets so much better to the end, there was so much insights connecting the important, the real an the beautiful. And helped me so much to get to understand some of the aspects of my own life. I hope this insight will not fade away shortly, and that I and other viewers can find this more than just "entertainment"!
I’ve personally loved every strange moment I’ve experienced finding this corner of the internet. I’m starting to see fruits of it in my life and the kinds of people I’m having my own conversations with. Cheers! 😊
I haven't yet watched the video, but I am already moved by an intense feeling of gratitude toward the both of you. You have both, in differing ways, been so important for my own journey. I sincerely cannot thank you enough for what you are doing, guys. Bless you
David, the exchanges echo with so many points that have been guiding me for as long as I can remember. It also makes echo to what Alexander said a few months ago in a video with you. That is, and I am paraphrasing because it's from memory. "In a complex world love as the only starting point that allows to go towards the best outcome possible". Here John and Johnathan spell out new connections, new words (for me), new frameworks, putting known words and references under a fresh lighrt. And practiving it all in the process. Many, many thanks to you all. I do not know yet how many times I will need to watch it again to extract what I discover. But I now know why I have been following you since almost the beginning.
Really enjoying this - Thank you 36:25 > what just came to mind is how Curiosity and Wonder seem to fall into McGilcrists left and right hemisphere framing. Curiosity being a more left hemisphere 'grasping', with a more right hemisphere 'openness' to wonder.
"It's opening people up at that deeper level." In other words, it is an entering into the mystery of the symbol. It is the "sacramental" participation in the Mystery.
I don't have the prerequisite knowledge to follow where this conversation goes. But I enjoyed the experience nonetheless, it has inspired me to look into both John and Jonathan 's bodies of work. Thankyou for bringing this conversation together
the beginning of the interview is brilliant, great choice to let Pegeau and Vervaeke complimant one another. A fresh way of starting a interview. Thanks Rebel Wisdom.
This description/definition of estuary (Wikipedia sourced) is excellent: An estuary is a partially enclosed coastal body of brackish water with one or more rivers or streams flowing into it, and with a free connection to the open sea.[1] Estuaries form a transition zone between river environments and maritime environments and are an example of an ecotone. Estuaries are subject both to marine influences such as tides, waves, and the influx of saline water and to fluvial influences such as flows of fresh water and sediment. The mixing of seawater and freshwater provides high levels of nutrients both in the water column and in sediment, making estuaries among the most productive natural habitats in the world.
Amazing conversation, wasn't expect it to be this deep and enjoyable. These two really went to a different level here. p.s. John please buy some lip balm :D
Wish me luck folks I'm going to try and watch this one before Paul Vanderklay releases his commentary on it (which he'll probably do by the time I click "comment").
@@dave95841 if Vanderklay were there THIS conversation could not have occurred. This beauty is distinct from whatever beauty his participation would have revealed...
Thanks in particular for that gem at the end... slightly paraphrased. Freedom is not meant to be sacrosanct or absolute. Freedom is not ultimate in value; it is merely an instrumental means of action towards the True, the Good and the Beautiful. I know this because I want to lose my freedom in these specific ways: I want my thoughts to be completely determined based on what is true, I want my actions to be completely determined based on what is good, I want my sensitivities to be completely determined based on what is beautiful. Errors in my attainment of these ideals, shouldn't be excused on a pursuit of absolute freedom.
I also felt like I wanted you to bring in Schiller at the end there when you were talking about freedom. Schiller's Letters on Aesthetics spicifically and his notion of the "play drive ", where he expands upon Kant's unfinished notions on aesthetics... and relates them spicifically to freedom.
The thing about freedom, it seems to me, is that the change in your nature that comes from pursuing a certain good is to be found in the free choice. You can align all of your action with what is true, but if that alignment is not done in freedom, it will not change you, your nature, or your love. Without freedom the personal transformation into a more divine being is impossible.
Deeply enjoyed this conversation! The exploration of beauty vs suspicion brought up for me the modes of relating as in service to the participatory vs the propositional, respectively.
I enjoyed this conversation, particularly the part about the issue when hermeneutics suspicion is being used in a conversation or debate, when hermeneutics of beauty, is appropriate, it led me to remember a scripture that I use to remedy hermeneutics suspicion, in these situations, even though sometimes it is needed in a world full of deception, at times and I feel it is also the blue print for a true relationship. 1 Corinthians 13:1-7
Fantastic conversation! Can someone tell me what John says at 1:24:14 ? "That's when I get the first ...[inaudible]... notes from the horizon." Thanks!
The reference to analysis of movies is interesting. Something my brother and I always said is that "to some people movies are just images flickering by". To me its always been clear that movies contain so much more than wich one can see and hear. Even a really bad movie have ideas behind it that can be very profound. Or they might evoke trains of thought that can be very interesting and rewarding to follow etc. Thats something I really enjoyed listening to Jordan Petersons lectures on the biblical storys that things might have a deeper meaning than might be abvious at first glance. Even very trivial things can have very substantial meaning that could be revealed if one is open enough to discover them.
Loved this convo. Type John Wesley Small Groups into Google, some interesting articles. David fancy being Englands 21st century version of John Wesley 😉. Paul Vanderklay might be saying George Whitefield 😀.
Never have I seen the back of Jonathan’s head. What rebellious wisdom this production exerts.
Duh! Everyone knows this is rebellious symbolism at its finest
are you declaring the back of Jonathan's head a production?
@@Xtazieyo realsies
For an icon carver it's a very big deal......'>.......
Good to know he has a back of his head
This dialogue was extraordinarily beautiful, and the Logos was really catching fire. Thank you John, Jonathan and David.

The Forms are strong with this one. Thank you Dr. Vervaeke.
This is a real wonderous gem.
This and the Peterson/Pageau video on the same day. What a treat.
This video is way better
@@cesardude99 Different angles for me, equally good.
love the format, so refreshing seeing people interacting face to face. Felt like I was sitting in the fourth seat at the table. Fantastic innovation. Great content too.
Exactly
I hope Jonathan gave John a big old bro hug at the end. It’s obvious how much love John has for him. Great talk, can’t wait for the next one!
10 minutes in and have a lump in my throat. What a beautiful friendship.
Thanks for the shoutout John! I can't wait to comment on this one. It's really coming together in this little corner!!

Do.

I’m almost tearfully grateful for the exuberance here
I love how John understands that Johnathan is really trying to show people a different and real way of living reality
Yes one it is difficult to convey how wonderful it is to hear such a touching and touching and genuine conversation among men using their true brain and heart
So humbled to have had the privilege of this fellowship and so with people mentioned here.
Awesome. Not sufficient to merely watch it through,one must go back again and again.The gems dropped are legion.
A most wonderful, truthful, faithful, and loving dialogos. Thanks everyone.
I love this!!! These two are fantastic! It's also amazing that all three of you are in the same room!
Thoroughly looking forward to this

So good. So exciting to see these minds come together in the flesh.
Thanks for differentiating wonder from curiosity
Two of the Generations great minds!!!

Such a lovely conversation
Jonathan that’s exactly what happened to me when I first listened to you speak this morning. Big aha Hermetics of Beauty moments!!
Just wonderful. Thank you John, Jon, and RW ❤️
Thank you for this- and all practices of Be-ing that get exemplified in these dialogos. “ To fall in love with Be-ing again!” Yes!
This got brilliant around the hour mark with the Dante, Plato and the ascending call of love discussion
Grazie uomini. Vi ringrazio immensamente.
wow what a pleasure to listen to the 2 of the horsemen of meaning. And "Rebel Wisdom" being like the "John" that is documenting the "Revelations".
a true treasure trove of explanatory jewels and terminological explication. Very much appreciated folks.
Wish me luck folks I'm going to try and watch this one before Paul Vanderklay releases his commentary on it (which he'll probably do by the time I click "comment").
Good Luck. I could feel Paul's ears burning. Would have like to seen him there. Paul will have some unique ways of adding to this logos.
Hahahahaha!!

Errors in my attainment of these ideals, shouldn't be excused on a pursuit of absolute freedom.
There are moments of insight throughout this session, but I would be lying if I said I understood it all
There are so many high level ideas in this discussion unironically.
1:12:30 - pageau's excitement here is inspirational
Thank you !
When he just pointed out that Newhart performed Loving Irony, I LITERALLY applauded!!!!!!!
great conversation need to listen at least twice.
Beautiful, thank you.
a privilege to be able to watch (in participation)
John says I don't know what they mean by freedom, I felt that one.
that sweetness.... it's the Presence in Jonathan's life
So good.
Great conversation 👌
Great discussion on Freedom.
A pre-like, right away!👍
Outstanding.
At 50:19 in regards to movie interpretation- I wonder if any of the speakers are familiar with the UA-cam channel ‘Like Stories Of Old’?
Soooo damn good!!🥰
wonderful
The bromance made me teary eyed lol

I don't feel curiosity towards God, I feel wonder. So nice to understand the difference.
This is for sure a conversation i will listen to more than twice. Thanks David!

prairie of notes?
I love philosophy, especially when I realized I was following a discussion on the appropriate manner(s) to have a discussion.
Thanks.
Given they are in a pub-like setting, I would dare call this something like the Ontological Inklings. Thank God for these brilliant men.
Timestamp: 57:42 "It's like falling in love with somebody." Insight of wonder, openness. Harmonics of suspicion prevents that from happening.
