We were blessed to have Matthieu Pageau join us in the book club to answer questions we gathered throughout our reading of his book The Language of Creation: Cosmic Symbolism in Genesis. Our in-depth discussion covered a range of topics including the symbolic reading of Scripture, pre-modern cosmology, and the spiritual dangers of the modern materialist worldview.
Some of the topics we explored include:
How René Guénon first opened the door to real symbolism for Matthieu
The sharp contrast between miraculous and magical operationsThe symbolism of snakes
Dangers of the “subtle-reality” of dreams/lucid dreaming/video games
Conspiracy theories in the age of algorithms

It was an incredibly eye opening conversation, thank you to everyone who joined live and submitted questions. I hope to see you in the next one. Stay tuned on our Discord server ongoing discussions and live events.
