Jacob “my beard overfloweth” Russell
Michael Parsons underrated
This is the first time I’ve herd someone talk about this masculine and feminine distinction in Christian thought. God started showing me this concept but in a slightly different way. Just as the heart pumps blood into it and then out towards the body our metaphysical heart/soul was made with both masculine and feminine capabilities. We are to take the feminine role towards Christ ie the bride of Christ and take a masculine role towards the world which is why we are all called the sons of God.
“Jordan Peterson helped me reconcile the value of religion in my life” Perfect way to articulate this. Thank you.
In Judaism, right before the groom unveils the face of his bride, he literally says "You are, thus, made sacred to/for me".
The unveiling happens after, and is predicated on, the declaration of sacredness.
I had never thought of it quite in that light before.
Fascinating discussion, as always.
Jordan Peterson ALSO helped me reconcile my own faith (cradle Catholic) with my own life experience (thus also consequences) which was a catalyst of returning to actual worship of my faith within mass and congregation and the Eucharist and confession etc.... since my personal learning style and hunger never changes, and UA-cam’s algorithms ( since they spy on my web history) make sure I always am I found YOU, JONATHAN, and your style of information as well as presentation has truly truly caused my faith to be able to delve so deeply into my own soul and relate my inner to my outer world in a way NOBODY has before. My art has evolved, my spirit has evolved, my brain has evolved in a theological manner that is almost unbelievable to myself however we both know it’s only unbelievable because it’s in fact, already believed (and seen)!
I have so much gratitude towards your spirit for this and thank you. Also, thank you for introducing me to this man who (like me) grew up one way and had to pull myself out of the draw to liberalism. Thank you thank you thank you!
God bless you both!
Jacob, I hear you man. The journey does make you feel crazy sometimes. I got lucky and found a young woman who has a passion for mythological narratives. She's an anthropologist, so she gets to explore that world in academic ways I don't, but we meet in the middle. I'm a lucky man. But aside from her, I typically get "the look" when I bring up these things. :)
Also, Mr. Pageau, you are a light in an increasingly dark world, a world hostile to the traditional Christian spirit. The upside down world.
Thank you so much. Whether you know it or not, you shine with the archetypal light of a warrior. You're fighting the good fight. Thank you good sir, from the bottom of my heart.
And lo! a pillar of fire descended from the chin of Jacob, and it was speechless.

This concept of the veil is so interesting. I had an odd dream once where I was searching for "the answer" and it was as if God responded and told me, "you know, I'm actually doing you a favor by not revealing the whole mystery at once, you couldn't handle it." How could it be integrated into daily existence if your mind is just blown into bits and pieces?
About the veils - before I was a catachumen, I was attending an Antiochian church that wasn't really pushing the head covering. I didn't think of it as something I should do. However, I was almost physically overborn with the heaviness of the holiness present there, and it was a great effort to make it to vespers. Always wonderful once I was there, but so heavy! One day it was the beginning of winter and the snow was falling (there's some symbolism there too), so for the first time I went with a hat on. Well, it made such a difference! I wasn't exactly comfortable but I wasn't cowering like a rabbit anymore either. I've headcovered ever since. Nobody ever made me feel like I had to - if anyone brought it up, it was other women and never a man, certainly never a priest - but boy did I want to! It's like having polarized glasses for driving. You can still see everything, but the glare is gone. While you are technically more covered, you can participate in your surroundings more.
Meanwhile my poor husband has to "stand in the Flame" every Sunday as an acolyte, and from the expression on his face appears to be in a state of slow shock throughout the whole service. The rassan helped some. But he always wonders, when the subject comes up, why on *earth* women would want access to the Holy Place. So they could come feel out of place with the guys? However, it does suddenly make a lot of sense to me that, as we have lost a cultural understanding of the woman as the sacred seat of Life (together with the Protestant rejection of the veneration of Mary or any female saints - ya ever notice how they have no trouble remembering the big-job male theologians?)...as we have lost that sense of the sacred feminine, more women have felt the need to go petition to be in the holy place. It's like we only want what we think we don't have. But we do have it already!
Never thought of it this way. But then I'm always covered and feel it's wired not to be in a church. Other Orthodox, like the Serbs or more liberal parishioners in my OCA church, can always tell a Russian one because we traditionally wear head scarfs or veils.
26:58 "between the lover and the...love-ee"...I think the word you were looking for was "beloved"
The “feminine... masculine... masculine...” idea of the temple reminds me of the Jonah narrative where the great fish changes gender depending on it’s context in relationship to Jonah (pregnant fish with swallowed Jonah is female, resurrecting/sending/throwing up fish is male) if you dig into the original language used.
Its so good to see such intelligent and grounded people living out their Christian faith.. i wish i could overcome the "difficult people" issue and go back to church - i know im one of them too. Its just stressful for introverts
Jacob, your humbleness is refreshing. Thank you for allowing us to go on this thought journey with you.
This channel and even this video have been life affirming for me. I love how you Express not being able to talk to anyone, and the frustration with that has been something that has plagued me for many years. I feel the same way about the setup of the church. If it is set up like a concert, then that is probably what it is.
We need more conversations like this one! Unapologetically deep in symbolism. So mind-boggling and awesome. Also it's nice to get to know Jacob a bit more after seeing his name so often in the group. Great vid Jonathan
As an Orthodox, I have to say the intro song gets me so pumped every time. Makes me look forward to Pascha.
When you mentioned fractals I shouted YES, I found the Mandelbrot Set years ago and had a moment of understanding and everyone but a few thought I was nuts. My kids still tease me about it
What an amazing and much needed talk!
Thank you! Especially the part about the veil! 🔥
Yes, a veil is indicative of a spirit of piety. Absolutely fascination discussion. 🤗😇🙏
This was very helpful. More talks about hierarchy and knights please.
The command is love your neighbor AS YOURSELF so the "fruit" is the ability to show love to yourself by following Christ and loving your neighbor with the same heart of compassion, mercy, justice, freedom. Alignment, yes!!!
Is this one of the best UA-cam videos yet to be made? I'm amazed and entranced
21:55 "It's the desiring capacity, the in-between capacity, that is focused in the wrong direction. Instead of looking up, which would order the body, it looks down. It idolizes the body, or fears for the bodily functions". This is a brilliant description of disalignment in life. If anyone knows where I can read more about precisely this, "falling into the body", please let me know!
I love to veil at mass. At one point in time I was head covering all the time. I also prefer to wear skirts and I I think of that as a way of veiling as well.
Brilliant interview and super insightful! Thank you!!! 🔥
40:00 ish-45:00 ish
I think you're missing the fact that marriage/love is reciprocal. It isn't that the man adores and protects his wife because she is his "holy place". Rather, both partners join together to create that holy place for one another, they both regard the other as sacred.
Great video! When you talked about skipping levels and you get a monster at 45:40 . That blew my mind. I cant Express how awesome it is you said that in a way I understood.
Great discussion!
@4.36 'didnt know what this dude was talking about'! Haha I felt the same earlier but was fascinated. Glad I ploughed on with JP's content. This too was enlightening 💜.
I’m sympathetic to Christians and part of me even desires to be Christian but some bad childhood experiences leaves me with a strong resistance to committing. Discussions like these are probably going to be my path to taking the leap.
@Camaeh Gill
Jesus and Christianity are two separate things. I mean that anyone can name themselves a Christian, but no one can take the name and works of Jesus. A direct relationship with Jesus and the Father, the intersessions are done...no more telephone game. Information doesn't come from one source, but many and the spirit guides you through it and the hills and valleys in the Bible. Especially as a woman Jesus breaks down all the structures and hierarchies of this world, creating a safer space for women to come out of hiding. He is the armor of God that protects and surrounds you, when a woman shifts her focus to God from man, you see the world differently. You approach the world differently, and continue to look up. You body and spirit become almost separate psychologically, meaning things don't penetrate your spirit as easily as before, you've built up resilience and renewed determination to overcome and continue. Forgiveness (for others wrongs is necessary, forgiveness for yourself as well) opens pathways for the spirit to enter in. Strengthens you. The embodiment of Jesus (salvation) renews hope that men can transform and accept the word of God, and women will be co-heirs in the new earth or New Jerusalem (come into oneness with each other) instead of under the curse and trodden down by men (as a social structure and corporal body), the serpent in the tree...when we are a children we see things as a child, when we are no longer children we see them as they are. Yet through Jesus, we forgive. Jesus as second Adam paid a debt that can't be grasped easily and when someone continues forward despite knowing the world's response to being challenged that is God's hand. All paths lead to Jesus, but Jesus is the door into the kingdom. A sacrifice of life for a promise in the future, how can you not be changed and hold onto that same hope. Everyone is given their own bonds to break, and no one can be held to account if Jesus is the one who forgives and gave freely on the cross, so that anyone who saw and grasped the totality of what was done in that moment salvation (the fallen state and barbaric nature of mankind, our frailty and weakness to take the easy path and follow the crowd so as not to stand out, the corruption of the human condition the more we play God, etc) God, through the son offering a light to follow (spiritually) and giving the promise of resurrection. Light is perceived before the mind can register it... Unjustified and innocent bloodshed, homelessness, poverty, violence, and the general state of this world reminds me of the cross and how many people don't truly believe in God, Jesus or the Holy Spirit. We are all in progress, but I fear the devistation people will bring on themselves and others.😕💔
Great discussion. Thanks Jonathan
Symbolism is so powerful and mysterious. This video did a great job at hashing at it. The discussion about veils and the feminine seems to make us dudes a bit uncomfortable, especially in this politically correct age. I think we are way too much "Western" about symbolism in general and the feminine in particular. I like Jonathan's statement that each level of the hierarchy has both masculine and feminine aspects .. it depends on context and what direction you're looking. I believe Jung would approve of this conversation. Jacob asked the same questions I've had ...
wow guys! thanks for this discussion.
Hi fellas, I am glad to have stumbled across this channel. Kindred spirits are out there, I don't feel so alone now. When I found Jordan Peterson I realised I am not abnormal except to the word system.
We don't even have a veil in the form of a pay wall for pornography sites any more.
Satan is non discriminatory
Wow Jonathan! You just blew my mind! From the time i was a little girl I always wondered at the very interesting interplay of Hitler with the people and how they energy seemed in his speeches and why his speeches where able to hold so much sway over them. THIS insight is amazing and I will be paying attention to this dynamic. Thank you!
What is the Symbolism of myrrh streaming icons, such as the Iveron icon of Montreal?
Great stuff Jonathan, keep it coming.
Maximus' Mystagogy is wonderful. I think what confounds people regarding soul and body therein is we forget that the work as a whole is centered on the Divine Liturgy which re-orients each to the other, grounding our whole being in Christ.
Hey, I am totally broke at the moment, but once I catch up on your subscriber only content I need to chat with you. I am the vice president of Arizona for an organization called National Alliance on Mental Illness as well as part of homeless outreach, drug related programs, and youth. I have over 95 churches in my town of around 20,000 people. This was so nice to hear the sincerity of this conversation, especially about the long live the king part.
Excellent channel, thanks.
2nd time I've heard Jordan Peterson. Very interesting. I'll have to take a listen. Thanks for sharing your testimony
Thank you for this talk!!!
What JP is talking about around 24:00 really reminds me of Arthur Koestlers notion of a holarchy, as laid out in The Ghost in the Machine. Normally when we think of a hierarchy we only pay attention to one direction. Koestler points out that everything in the hierarchy is simultaneously uniting lower units in the hierachy and is contained within higher units of the hierarchy. So there is always this Janus aspect, a facing in two directions, within the hierachy. In a way obvious, but easy to forget.
The Soul is the living thing within us. The Soul is a part, particle of God.....
Amazing, the guy went through exactly what I was going through haha.
You do always have access to it when u are connected to the Source . It's about relationship
Whatever is above is traditionally portrayed as masculine. The soul is feminine in relation to the Spirit, but can be portrayed as masculine in relation to what is beneath, the body and the senses and the world as such.
Piaget's Cognitive Development theory, stage 4 is Formal Operational thinking, 11 years old and up. When we begin to understand and apply abstract thinking. It's coming, Jacob!
It's OK not know everything and not to have an answer to everything. It's OK to just say I don't know, it hasn't been revealed to me. Let's not over analyse and complicate the simple truth in the Word of God, but live by faith, have patience and be humble. Topics on the femine are a slippery slope, as it just leads to gnostisim, but we are indeed saved by the blood of Jesus. And at the end of the day that's all we need to know. God bless.
Abstractions become understandable only when put in their proper frame. You have to understand what layer of abstraction you're at to understand what things mean.
When you act something out you're either glorifying or corrupting the physical manifestation of your soul. I don't think you can get around the feedback loop there, which is why the power of compounding (incremental improvements/failures snowballing into great success/catastrophic failure) is so important.
Either be lined up, or be a hypocrite and eventually fail. Very important to know, so you realize the consequences of your actions.
Hey Jonathan, are there any more basic spacial/geometric patterns than the center v the pariphery. The aformentioned pattern has really helped me a lot. Are there any more such patterns?
Nous, soul, body, as well as the moral nature of the interrelationship you describe, is identical to Robert Pirsig's Metaphysics of Quality as outlined in his novel 'Lila'. He calls these three distinct 'patterns of value', intellectual, social, biological, with the addition of inorganic, again, a further layer that acts as a 'vessel' for the 'liberated' biological level. He would also agree that each type of value has two aspects, 'dynamic' and 'static'.
@David Chorak Although, in an interview, he denied knowing this when naming the character/book, I agree with you, It fits too well.
I'll have to read it soon.. I've only listened to Robert Breedlove's series on the book "Lila."
What is a resource you would reccomend to understand what a Nous is? I believe this interview is the first I'm hearing of it.
@@drewsimon9652 Nous is intellectual patterns of value, and their less distinct mysterious source. It lives (all austere and silent) just above words and symbols and so forth. Where it comes from and how it relates to the world is where all the contention is. Personally, I find most Christian/Platonic metaphysics confusing compared to Pirsig.
A shield covers one's weaknesses (protects sacred) and allows one to thrust their sword (express sacred)
@Johnathan, have you discerned the symbolism & dance of Cern?
39:40 Is there a video where Jonathan elaborates on how he means this "saved by Jesus doesn't mean anything" rant?
What's the name of the discord group? Is it private? Thanks for the video guys.
This man the new PBS
Very interesting.
About 24:00 discussing how the portrayal of the soul as Feminine is contextual, I believe what is being described is a form of fractal.
The second choice with the picture of his face in the lower right corner is the one to select.
I’m hoping Jonathan can address this: he mentioned sin doesn’t come from the body but from the mind. As we all know teens with raging hormones have issues with self control bc the hormones do exert influence on neurotransmitters which regulate and influence brain function. So then, physical processes and fluids can influence behavior and possibly the potential for sinning - such as having sex without love or marriage. I’d love to hear some discourse on this 😊
If our minds are directed towards higher, wholesome things, the physical impulses are calmer and hold less sway over us, even when we're young. But if we're untaught (like most of us), we give too much attention to these impulses and often even feed them with inappropriate material, so they become tyrannical.
The idea remains the same. Sin originates from the soul. Temptation originates from outside the soul pointing towards the soul to corrupt it. Temptation comes from the body or the material world. Hormones playing up can be regarded as temptation. The mind could choose not to have sex before marriage, but the sweet temptation of doing it is what we usually buy into. Once we've done that, we've sinned. Sin is the soul falling pray to temptations. So it is not the body or the material world that makes one sin. The body and the matter can tempt, and the temptation can be very strong, but not as strong to overwhelm the soul. The soul is and has always been the conqueror, the one that has the last decisive word on wheter to buy into a temptation
or not. But the soul prefers sweetness as opposed to virtue. This makes the soul corrupt. A corrupt soul still is sovereign and could not sin, but it just doesn't want not to sin. But it is always the soul's choice whether to follow a temptation or not. The body and the matter, or temptation, has never rulled over the soul because it can't. It is the other way round. The soul is made to rule over the body, but it just refuses to do so, and therein lies the tragedy of the human condition. So it is not a matter of not being able to not sim, but one of not wanting to stop sinning and giving into the sweet temptetion consoling oneself thsy is not such a big deal. Who really wants not to sin they are able to by keeping a sober mind so as to detect when temptation comes and deal with it appropriately, not give into it. So, never blame anything for your falling into sin except your own self. Thay is what Adam and Eve should have done, but they blamed the snake instead. So don't blame the hormones or puberty for making you sin. Nobody makes you sin, you do it yourself.
Hebrews 4:16 New King James Version (NKJV)
16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
Be blessed.
Biblically speaking the soul is the combination of body and spirit. Gen. 2: 7And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
This very scripture means man himself is the soul. If not, the scripture would have read, “And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and put a soul inside the man.”
Gen 49:27 describes Benjamin as a wolf, Romans 11:1 has Paul from the tribe of Benjamin, what with depictions of dog headed men... clearly Paul was a werewolf. I was describing the absurdity of such a literal interpretation to an orthodox friend and didn't realize how funny he would find it.
only just 'happened' (or perhaps not), on this channel, but interesting so far. my thoughts about spirituality, christian spirituality, are much like some of what you speak... I describe my own experience(s), like an 'Implosion' , in other words, one has to enter in to the calmer deeper internalisation of thought & reflection - Recede actually into that place of sanctuary where the Holy Spirit sits, and once you have been sucked or drawn in, within, then at some point BOOM you will experience the Implosion which blasts out or pours forth, and OPENS up the endlessness of ETERNITY and clarity... GOD's Eternity that is. ... the Mystical Understanding and Body of CHRIST, what the monastics might have experienced in disciplined Contemplative Prayer... I will turn in. thank you.
Is it possible to link it here? Dogheaded men essay... Thank you
Dude, I didn’t think Jacob had arms for a second there
It is two years later but for the one who will see this, there is no mystery to be hidden or veiled after Christ(Rev 3:8). In fact I see the veiled opened according to necessity but it is never fully closed.”behold I have opened a door before you that no man can shut…because you have a little strength and have kept my name”. The only way the veil is closed is by not keeping his name.
Secondly, Paul says the woman should cover her head because her hair is her glory. Therefore the covering after our betrothal to Christ cannot be similar to the old covenant where it faced a danger of profanity. The holy one became profane that we may be made holy. Therefore the betrothed of Christ is veiled as a mark of her groom’s authority over her.
Maybe you could unpack the symbolism behind this: "Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools...?"

How does the necessity of the veil (which you discuss at around the 40:00 mark) and mystery sit with the idea of us seeing with unveiled faces that we read about in 2 Corinthians 3:18?
When one's heart is turned to the Lord, the veil is removed. Seems pretty clear.
Jonathan Pageau Indeed, 2 Cor 3 does seem clear. I think that was the commenter's point. A useful analogy may be a cliff whose top is shrouded by cloud a thousand feet up. What's at the top? We can't see it for the cloud. But when the cloud is blown away, the top comes into view Right? No more mystery?
With the cloud gone, an elemental mystery has turned into a divine one: we now see... we see the cliff is infinite in height.
Who needs a cloud for mystery? ("a childish toy")
Analogy courtesy of Protestant Jonathan Edwards. I find myself defending Protestants when I hear over-simplified descriptions of them such as those in this and other of your videos. Certain of Christianity's great works on fractal symbology have come from Protestants: they're not all into worship bands and flippant discourse - not even mainly.
How about a video like, 'things we can learn from the Protestant tradition(s)' ? I bet that'd be refreshing for you and challenging to your subscribers.
btw, yes, all analogies (an inherent limitation of the finite) break down at some point. That's actually the real point of that analogy - only, where it breaks down is not marked by the cloud, but where our finite eyesight becomes cloudy. The analogy's breakdown, therefore unfolds it into another useful and more direct one; one which experientially informs the mind that the cliff is infinite. Fractals.
Oz does, but an infinite Wizard needs no curtains.
(note that word 'needs' well)
anyone have suggestions for videos to watch to understand the "basics"? most of this video was gibberish to me lol still enjoyed it quite a bit though! thank you!
The process of recursion is very powerful and important to understand. How one thing can be part of itself.
The simplest way to explain it might be the fibonacci sequence.
The nth fibonacci number is the sum of the n-1st and n-2nd fibonacci number. So to compute the 3rd fibonacci number, you need to compute the second and the first.
Now this has a base case at 1 and 2 (the first 2 fibonacci numbers are 1 and 1, so the sequence goes 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13...), whereas the base case of symbols can either be infinite (in theoretical ones), or that which manifests. But even in manifestation they can have a fractal nature.
What's interesting is you don't talk about diversity and how Western nations are being forced to accept all "refugees" into their "house", and how that's leading to the utter destruction of society. Sad that's not mentioned.
I'm being I'm being torn apart like a sheep for slaughter pray for me that I come to true faith everything they're saying my so longs of my soul is so disordered and needs truth anybody reading this prayer I find a healthy church and healthy fellowship and Divine healing
God opens and closes the veil before Job in the whirlwind: “who is this who darkens counsel by words without knowledge? Gird up now thy looks like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me. Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? Declare, if thou hast understanding.” Puts a buffer between the realities as you mentioned
The study of hieros gamos help me understand better
Spirit is the feminine after thought and it carries out the souls desire like the spirit animates the will of the soul.
Isn’t up or down a dualistic type of thought? is there hierarchy with matters of the heart?

Just adding some cultural context to the point about women and veils and also why Paul says "because of the angels" :1corith 11:10. ancient Greco-Roman medical texts speak about the hair of men and women as being integral to conception. If a women had long healthy hair, it was believed she would be fertile. It was believed the sperm of the man was absorbed and aided by the woman's long hair. But for men, the length of ones hair made you either potent if you had short hair or less potent if you had long hair. The reference to "because of the Angels" links up with Genesis 6:1-4. Paul understood what happened in Gen 6:-14, as did the Greeks with Zeus and the Titans, and the Babylonian Apkallu. All ancient near eastern cultures and by extension the Greco-Roman world as well as the Israelites had the stories of divine beings/Angels talking human women and producing offspring. 2nd temple Jewish writings, the writings that Jesus, the disciples and Paul would have read and known, as well as the early church fathers until Augustine(who really rewrote the narrative) speak in detail to this as polemic against Israel's pagan neighbor's. Paul's point was to warn women to remain modest so as not to see another incursion from the Watchers.
Your reading may have some truth to it, especially as many learned men through the ages have taken your view, so it is clearly not without merit. But it seems to me Paul's argument is more about orderliness, hierarchy, and glory rather than modesty. Verse 10 is weird because the conclusion sort of has two arguments pointing to it, the first being from verse 9 (creation order/design) and the second "because of the angels":
9 Nor was man created for the woman, but woman for the man. 10 For this reason the woman ought to have authority on her head, because of the angels.
It would be normal to take the reference to angels as fitting in with the general theme of the passage. You could argue that not tempting the angels to sin would be in keeping with proper order, but that would be to apply a modesty motif which is only present as a corollary, and there is clearly nothing in the passage itself that would necessitate that view.
I think it is safer to take the reference to angels as not offending them in their attendance at divine worship by ladies' throwing off their veils and trespassing God's design in creation, revealing man's glory when only God's glory should be seen.
Pondering your view again, if you say that unveiled women at worship may tempt angels to lust, oughtn't it be a matter of considerable importance that veiling be strictly mandated?
Its fruits of the Spirit, which manifest thru the spirit mind which is fed by the Word and is glorified by the soul.
9:00 i am one of those people who could use a basic grounding in symbolism.
Many so called Christian men don't understand the sanctity of marriage and holy union, it is refreshing to see men who get it.
24:00 Has me thinking of the higher darkness that was explained in the 'Divine Patterns of Moses' video...
Is there a lower light? Idk...
Made me think of light pollution from manmade lights that make the stars less visible to earthbound astronomy equipment. Ambient light that’s less powerful than any given star, and which serves our own purposes so well that we consider it indispensable...meanwhile it robs all mankind of a much better view, and also confounds science (which gave us our understanding of electricity in the first place).
Probably not a correct answer. I plugged all the Christmas lights into the outlet that switches the floodlights on and off, so yeah...your question hit me in the feels.

@@looqo7632 sorry, can u send it again? I haven't recivied any notification
How does one access the discord?
Yes, there is a difference. It helps to know that soul is flesh and spirit is not. Spirit is connected to the Source. The soul is connected to the body as a vessel. What u do with soul impacts the body. Sin affects it all. Mind, will, and emotions are soul. The Spirit breathed spirit (breath) into man. We are spirit beings having a human body experience .
I am curious if you guys are familiar with Margaret Barker's research?
Hey guys! This is good. Actually I am a Hungarian Orthodox
The more I look at the Bible as literal truth the more I see it as symbolically true, but the more I learn about its symbolic meaning the more I see it as probably literally also true.

He isn't that great a speaker, unfortunately. But he is a big kahuna in that kind of stuff.
The veil ripping gave us access to the throne of God, yet we see through a glass darkly. Protection from angels for women is hard to accept in as much that there are few men, husbands etc who are spiritually minded to cover.
Jillian Webb-Sear "...through a glass darkly." That's some fine Lancelot Andrewes there. =] what translation do you read?

Maybe that would make me sound silly and weeb but, did just Jonathan explained the existence of waifu culture?
yeah, he did
It's more akin to the pagan, Greco-Roman veneration of Aphrodite/Venus. Aphrodite Pandemos rather than Aphrodite Urania.
... "one of truth's protective layers..."
Jonathan seems to imply the king directly speaking to the populace is not necessary sometimes. Sometimes the tree/heirarchy/levels of quality are not there to hold up the world, but instead to provide a social rejuvenation. In those moments a 'ground-level' king among men style revolution is a great opportunity to bring new first principles to bear. The hitler story is a corruption of this cycle, usually when insufficiently valuable *new* first principles exist to commit to a revolution.
Jonathan can you make a video about Protestants you seem to have more to say about them.
Yes, I'd like that, too. Protestants have been screwing everything up for 500 years, and this is coming from someone with a United Methodist background.
