HMNW is Khemenu is Shumnu and Hermopolis is Mercury and 100 other names as well. Kek is Kuk is Sus is Zues is Kush is Chus and Inchus too. John is Johanan, HoKhanan and Cannan too. HoKhanan is the son of Mary called Salome and he is HeruSalome called Jerusalem too. Salome is Selene HoKek is the messiah called JeSus and MeHoKek is the lawgiver called Moses too. Kekrops is Cecrops and of the ten tribes in Athens there are the E1b1b M78 subclade V13 Hamites called the Kekropis Tribe too. HM is Ham and Khem is Shem too The Ogdoad is the Ogdoas and the Oct Deus, "Eight Gods" of Khemenu. They travel from the watery abyss led by Nu Called Noah too. The Khananites are of Elephantine and Khnum And like the hegoat, MeHoKek has horns too. You have to understand the symbolism of Libre 70 by Crowley and the Cross of the Frog during the Berkeley Mardi Gras parade too. And you must understand the symbolism of Jeremiah 48:37 to know there are not tattered loincloths nor cuttings upon the hands for there are only clasped hands of prayer of the Tell Asmar hoard. Meras is South of Luxor and "From Meras" is HaMeras which is Sameras and the E1b1b1 V22 Kohenim are called Samaritans too.
A very common symbol is of a sword being inserted in a anal canal? I know no one will ask where because they already know and they don't want to talk about it.
@JonathanPageau @RichardRoland I have Charlesworth Pseudepigrapha in my amazon cart, but I notice there is no Book of Jasher. Is there a good translation of Jasher you recommend?
Stoked Richard has officially joined the team, love you guys conversations and the universal history series. Richard has an infectious sort of enthusiasm and spirit. God bless.
Several of my dear friends from the church came across Orthodoxy through you. I had been wary of finding a politicized echo chamber as online spheres can often be, but finally decided to look you up and am very pleasantly surprised by insightful videos like this one, thank you
Great conversation.. One thing to note is that Spirit and Wind are synonymous in the Semitic languages (as well as others) which is why our spirit is the Breath of Life.
All the "scattering wind" talk that starts around 31:00, that is also what winnowing refers to (Matt. 3:12); The harvest is gathered from the floor and cast up to the heavens, exposing it to the Wind, which seizes the chaff and scatters it. Since folks around here also like chiasms, this is the parable/parabola/trajectory played out: an ascent to the heavens which incurs a separation, revealing the good fruit on the descent back down. Maybe this is old hat around here, but it seemed to be worth saying directly. Best regards, Grant
Abraham's saving of the seed is also related to Constantine's revelation "by this sign conquer". Altar comes before throne, but the throne is necessary to offer up its heart (filled in the spirit) to the altar.
A lot of people today would call this conversation babble and while they may not say you're drunk, they'd definitely say you're crazy. They just don't have their ears and minds open to hear the words. Before putting in any effort to try and understand, they've already decided that what they believe or follow is right, and anything you say that contradicts that or even might contradict that, is wrong. Discourse never begins. Truth never gets a chance to rise to the surface and we drown in our falsehoods, the lies we tell ourselves and others and the confusion that arises from that.
Oh, I wish so much that we could make it to the Symbolic World conference! It would not be financially responsible right now - maybe in a few months we'll be in a place to get the recordings, God willing. Regardless, please know that our prayers are with you and with everyone who attends, that it may be a time of enlightenment of minds and hearts, and a joyful coming together for all. God bless!
Allow me to add an interesting Hungarian angle to this awesome discussion. Many of us believe that: - Nimrod is our ancestor (still today many people name their sons Nimrod) - Our language is the original language (similarly to the Albanians) - It has divine knowledge in it (and actually it does have a type of a symbolic system that confers deeper wisdom - this is confirmed by foreigners who obtained the language) - We are “the nation of the seed”, and even our own name (magyar) is related to this concept
Abram running barefoot between the split halves of a dove fascinated me even as a boy. Thank you for the insight. The creative must be divided to make the whole
Making a comment to save my spot @15:15 and come to the "focus". My youtube algorithm finally connected me with you all bravo. I'm excited on so many levels and front to subscribe and be a part of your community. I'll be back to finish this video later. Thanks for producing this video!
Timely. Just watched Sam Tideman's talk with Vervaeke and I was struck by how the construction of AI, even by John's most optimistic lights, seemed more in the spirit of Babel than Christ.
Thanks for this! By the way, Pentecost was observed not "in the upper room", but in The Place - the Temple. Reread the Scripture and enjoy the new meaning of how God's people were visited!
The reason Babel is spelled with one middle 'b' is because it is pronounced bay-bell. A vowel followed by a single constanant followed by an 'e' changed the pronounciation of the vowel. Rout is pronounced rowt Whereas Route is pronounced root. The above example is a prime example of where semi literate tech workers have Christened something. A router (rowter) is a tool for chasing out timber to produce a groove. To rout (rowt) is used as a verb to describe chasing away an enemy in a battle. The tower of Babel would be spelled Bable or Babble if it were intended to be pronounced that way.
What are foundational lectures that provide a basic understanding of symbolism that I can watch in preparation to learning more advanced concepts/ideas?
Enjoying the video, but it is deeply frustrating to be told, "You gotta come to the conference," when even the virtual ticket is over $100. Will the talks at the conference eventually be put online for us who can't afford it?
And of course most people have to fly there, get a hotel, rent a car... I’m not naive about expenses, but does make you wonder what the whole point really is. It’s not a business conference.
@matthewkilbride1669 It's the fact that the virtual option is $150 bucks that gets me. I would happily pay $50 to see it all streamed, but I can't grasp how they did the math to price the virtual tickets. But who knows who actually determines the prices for these things. I have never ran a conference, so I imagine there are aspects I don't grasp.
Will Rohlin's talk be released after the conference anywhere? Can I purchase access to his talk individually without buying a virtual ticket? I ask cause I am learning all these things at a slow pace, (I'm not Orthodox) I am digesting one thing at a time. Not ready to consume everything at once. I want to explore more deeply what is being discussed here.
Re: Abraham and the crows...it gives a whole new depth to why it is mentioned in Genesis about Abraham sacrifice and his shooing the birds that wanted to eat it... I always thought that was a curious detail...
I wanna talk to you about the specific dimensions/measurements. There are accepted and rigorous approaches to Jewish mysticism-that said, as a listener of yours and an analogical thinker (I can be a bit oblique), I have several different ideas, with modern maybe some implications (maybe not). I am now headed full bore into studying what I can on Hebrew numerology, merkevah, hechalot, and Kabbalah more generally to integrate into my Judaism and love of philosophy. That said, I don’t expect a response, but I couldn’t help myself from constructing a surely abstruse preamble to what would’ve been an otherwise polite and normative “thank you” comment, but I’ll redouble on gratitude with all the more vigour in my embarrassing disclosure-thank you, thank you both truly, for you are doing work that is Good.
I'm in Albania now visiting family. While no one I spoke to claimed Albanian was the Adamic language, I did get to visit a beautiful Orthodox monastery in Gjirokaster.
Where can I read more thoroughly the ideas Richard is discussing at 17:16 surrounding the transformation of Chronos into Kairos and space into place in the liturgy?
Mr. Pageau, have you ever read Godel, Escher, Bach An Eternal Golden Braid? It explores everything that you talk about from the perspective of a mathematician. I would like more than anything to hear your thoughts on it.
This came at a very synchronous time. I've been processing a lot of thoughts about plato, through the lens of the contrast of Karl Popper and Julius Evola. Basically, two people in the 20th century who had very antithetical takes on what the structure of authority was and should be. I'm really looking forward to this talk, thank you for all that you do.
Wow. How has it never occurred to me that the Great Commission is a holy scattering, a corrective flip of Babel. A brilliant insight, gentlemen. Perhaps this is less accessible to us midwestern US protestants, but what an amazing truth I've been missing.
I don`t get why is it called zigurat if it was spiral? It might be helpful for viewers like myself to have this distinction clarified in future discussions. Plus,I found the video challenging to follow so to improve coherence, maybe a focus could be on organizing the key points in a logical sequence (more or less) and providing context for each point mentioned. While I appreciate the inclusion of links for further exploration, I often find myself short on time to check everything out and fully grasp the context. I value the opportunity to learn from your content, and I believe providing context within the video itself would greatly enhance the learning experience for viewers. Of course, these are just suggestions, and I understand if you prefer to keep your videos as they are.

So awesome! I find it so interesting that the universal language at the center of the tower has been rediscovered by chatGPT. The Ai models have figured out that everything is language.
Jewish people and proselytes were "gathered" from all over the known world in Jerusalem for the feast of Shavuot, a feast of ingathering. The wind of the Ruach came and then scattered them back out to the four corners of the world to spread the Message that they had received from the apostles.
Dear Jonathan Pageau, How could I contact you with regards to your trip to Lithuania? You have fans here. I am one. It is quite exciting that you MIGHT come to Lithuania.
It just of occurred to me that Genesis starts with Pentecost. Genesis 1:1-2 (NET) 1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was without shape and empty, and darkness was over the surface of the watery deep, but the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the water. Spirit and Wind are the same word. Then the Word separates and creates order from the waters. Amazing.
Air is related to the intellect which is used to dissect things and understand them. Could it be an interpretation that the move from the spiritual into the intellectual was what caused "the fall"? Similarly to Adam's fall, caused by knowing?
When God in his infinite intelligence and mercy, thought fitting, he decided to bring the scattered humankind back to him, so he founded the catholic church which on its birth the 12 Apostles and disciples spoke all the known languages in the ancient world! The church was born Catholic by birth, purpose, and mission, which she carries out to this day since 33DC!!!
Wow. I don’t even know how to think about this. But thinking of Jesus’ parable of the wheat being sown among the weeds. And the angels will be sent to pluck out the bad ones.
Abraham and the crows, St. Patrick battling Crom Cruach in the form of a swarm of crows, St. Kevin and the Blackbird. I wonder what the symbolic connection is? 🤔
Spirit / drunkenness referred to: also, Ephesians 5:19 : “be not drunk with wine but [drunk on] the Spirit,” though contra our charismatic friends who take this in a materialistic manner (i.e. Toronto Blessing). Also, psalm 22/23, “Your cup inebriates me as though most potent.”
Prometheus steals the holy fire from Olympus... But then it is used to offer sacrifice, that pleases the Gods. Interesting the connections in the mass and Pentecost. We offer up to God using the eternal fire that comes down and this raises our thoughts to heaven... Just brainstorming here its late in Aus....
Richard, (in your new role) I sent a message from the online conference site on Friday re: having challenges to pay online. (Won't take my card that I use everywhere online, no matter what I do.) Will you be checking on the Contact Us messages soon? I have a message there. I know you're very busy, but I'd like to participate in the online version, if possible. Thanks for any help you can provide.
Unfortunately, there is no current Biblical Scholar who has pinpointed the exact archeological site for the Tower of Babel, or figuring out who Nimrod was, or figuring out the language aspect. But what if it does exist, and there are answers. And what happens if its not merely a fable or symbolic and can tell a lot more than what is represented?
34 minutes - the linguistic fall - the loss of the true knowledge/love of God through the loss of the Hebrew Language…this is what I want to see expanded upon through modern ideological capture in the West.
It may be fitting to say that religions, when they lose their way, are also 'towers'. They are certainly different languages and humanity is confused because they think only their language is the real one. Then, if the language is confused for the spiritual reality they become idols.
That Albanian thing, Armenians also have this. They insist, for example, that the Georgian language was created by an Armenian or Christ was Armenian, etc.
The Tower of Babel was a failed incarnation, like Samson? A tabernacle with a blemish, rejected by God, like Cain's sacrifice? The wind did come, but the tower couldn't host it?

Rûach
Satan is called the god of the power of the wind. He is the tempest and the wild seas. He is the punisher sent by God.
Watching a bit delayed on the rd (so not live-chatting) - still wanted to say exciting news about Richard joining Symbolic World Press 🎉

Timely. Just watched Sam Tideman's talk with Vervaeke and I was struck by how the construction of AI, even by John's most optimistic lights, seemed more in the spirit of Babel than Christ.
Hence my fear, that AI will become the new idols, the new truth, and the new wisdom that large swathes of people will worship and become beguiled by.
How can you not love these two? I need a gif of Richard's Holy Trickster faces @1:03:25
One of the best episodes yet. Thank you!
