Myth Cosmology
Добавлен 9 дек 2020
Welcome to the Centre for Myth, Cosmology and the Sacred. From 2006, our popular MA programme was based in academia. Now we are branching out into an independent research centre, supported by the research expertise of our core team and followers. Our focus is on ‘seeing with different eyes’ in the study of myth, symbolic cosmology (including astrology and divination), the arts, esoteric philosophy, transpersonal psychology, holistic science and the paranormal. We are creating a space in which to engage with ‘impossible’ subjects which outreach the limits of the rational mind and require a new, imaginal voice which combines vision with discernment. It is also a space in which you are invited to participate - a ‘mystery school’ for our challenging times - in order to heal the age-old split between head and heart, mind and body, divinity and nature.

Fabulous Treat.. In All Our Mystery...Sacred Sacred Earthling Sacred Geometry Enheartened Lively Blessings ❤️🔥🩻❤️🔥
Jewdism, Christianity and Islam has destroyed the European gods and myths. So much was burned and destroyed that its sickening. Imagine is they succeeded in destroying everything? We'd know nothing about the northern gods or Egyptian history and artifacts.
Utter nonsense. Not knowing the author(s) does not mean that there were no author(s).
another academic telling the world that MYTH was written by scribes, at a time when NOBODY could read, Almost nobody could write! Like we have all these genre's in a world where nearly everyone can choose a writing style they wish to read for various reasons. But these Myths were written when at the time nobody would pick up that writing and make any sense of it... Thats what you get from someone who had deicated their life to telling the stories they were told, and then graded upon, and beaten into the process of never thinking past what they were told, so as to never confuse the narrative! academics are worthless in every sense of the word. dishonest hollow vacuous shells, our husks, of people who may have had actual worth if they didn't want summers off, like a child, for the rest of their lives!
Other indeed
A beautiful and timely talk - absolutely captivating!🥰
@45:00 Hann hefur rétta hugmyndirnar og er skapgerður, so glad I found this :)
40:00 it is not just the meeting the other culture. It is the attitude in meeting. 6 months is not enough to automatically overcome prejudice and aversion and might only serve to harden judgements.. When you travel to unexplored realms in the beginning things will grate, but the right attitude will help overcome that. Stepping stones are tolerate (don't react), respect (experiment eith borders), accept (don't judge), appreciate (see what it brings you), integrate (see how it is part of the larger you) (It is spiffier in Dutch, but still). It also works with inner work, so I just see it as the right attitude. We'd need to cultivate that first in order for this plan of children living with other cultures for 6 months to work.. but I like it a lot then. :)
38:00 Kvasir emerging from the vat of saliva and tears mixed with honey is a direct reflection of wisdom emerging from dukkha (suffering, bitterness) and sukkha (sweetness) in buddhist culture.
33:45 I give into consideration that western culture IS ragnarok. A devouring fire, accruing an enormous entropic or karmic dept. Entropy must always increase, but can temporarily decrease in a smaller system. By lending from another system. The vast chaos of the sun is the one and only ultimate reason that on earth two bricks can stay attached for a while. But there is an end to this flow of order and chaos.. We cheat with fossil fuels, burning off the surplus of ages in years, rather than eons. Now we try to cheat with nuclear fusion and fission. But the price is letting chaos seep in.. In the form of radiation that poisons our store of order, our very DNA.
31:50 this urlog of destroying to create seems to reflect the concept of entropy (2nd law of thermodynamics) and the arrow of time and the goddess Kali. The price you pay for any creation aligns with concepts of Karmic cleaning in Buddhism and Hinduism and the element of sacrifice is in almost all stories about Sedna (inuit)
30:00 ah order vs chaos. Now you are speaking my language. This is the prime opposit and mathematically it is instantly clear that the difference is only in our heads. I studied how what we classify as order emerges from what we classify as chaos and the other way around and prime factors of this transformation are quantisation, relation and scale. This is how you mathmatically transform order into chaos and the other way around. This is echoed in confucianist and taoist thinking alike. Even when these are seen as contemporary opposits alike. But my proof is rigidly mathmatical :) I just like to look around and see it everywhere and ponder on what it all means.
25:00 I don't think the image of the cow is as important as the image of the milk. We are mammals, so myths were bound to have some milk in them :). Founder myths and milk are common. With romulus and remus it was a wolf. But it is very interesting that both indian culture and norse culture have a holy cow.
22:47 auhm, the original mantra, indeed. I am also reminded of: "in the beginning there was the word" and indeed the name "the big bang" (even though this according to the theory did not produce sound). Sound seems to be a logical first for us.. i think this says more about our consciousness and development from infancy snd the way our mind works than anything about some historic account. Even when Christians or modern, reductionist scientists do it :) They are of they same mud, same hugr. Sound is also a constant way 'back' into meditation and nirvikalpa samhadi or nirvana in many many eastern and african traditions. I am thinking of singing bowls, gongs, drumcircles, taiko drumming, river language, indian drones , digeridoo playing, bullroarers etc etc.. all reflecting the Galdrabok. I think volume is not the most important part.. we now know it in popular culture both as the mysterious tingle of ASMR and the 'blegh' of metalheads.
@20:20 yes, yes, yes! Ymir reflects many clay creation myths, like the Finnish one or the Greek one. And the sweating out of the giants by ymir to me refers to an emerging of man from its environment. And the emerging of hugr. The division of the nirvana/ginunngagap/jijimuge/shunyata etc into Opposites, thought, memory selfawareness.. So the opposit of an all powerful, conscious creator that stands apart from our reality and inspires man with some mysterious 'thing'. This is why Christianity couldn:t allow paganism to be.. so happy now :)
@15:00 The strange thing is that from the title, I agree about the wisdom. I saw in yggdrasil the 9 realms of our perception through opposits of certain spectra. Small and big (dwarves and giants), dark and light (elves), friend (aesir) and foe (vanor) and fire and ice... This must have been the main opposits in the life of a viking. And our realm in the middle. This echoes taoist and buddhist ideas of interdependent origination of opposits and strangely enough, the tree echoes the tree in the garden of eden, bearing the fruit of ultimate opposits good and evil from the bible. Which in the original language were skill and unskilledness, but have been reinterpreted by christianity to fit their morals. For me this reflects a vast and quite subtle wisdom about the nature of our perception being expressed in metaphores. And it reflects the way superficial culture and fashions adopt these wisdoms.I wondered if you found the same, since you specifically targeted the edda. I am now just going to listen and see if you get there :) I would just like to say it is a pleasure to get a different take, even if it does ruffle my academic feathers.
Jotnar as giants? To my knowledge, this is merely a translation convention for the word, and not a description from the sources.
@9:00 I think you are refering to 'oracle bone script' for Chinese and runes being found by Odin hanging from the ash branches of yggdrasil? That is a paperthin thread. But again the larger point is easily granted. It stands to reason that man started imitating environmental sounds that morphed into consonants and vowels. It might be that the images that were combined with the sounds where used in the graphic representation of this laguage.. glyphs. S and the hissing of a snake, for instance are appealing.. This is pretty solid linguistic theory. It is interesting to consider that some myths might hint to that.
@ 5:00 sorry, Andreas, but your definition of myth has an obvious flaw. The missing author is easily explained by the mechanisms of oral tradition. Which gave birth to the first memes. (As in meme theory). These do have a kind of independent existence, but can only exist in the medium of human culture. To state that myths have little to do with human beings is just wrong. It is like saying a flame has little to do with its fuel. There is many colors of flame, depending on the kind of fuel. Disregarding this off the bat seems a very strange perspective. What you see reflected is the bond these people had with the land.. but the way 'the river speaks' is filtered by the human culture at the time. For instance Cherokee have the same kind of bond, but they express things differently. For instance they have 7 directions, the Vikings used landmarks to navigate and hardly mention direction. This is a cultural difference, which will be reflected in what the river 'says'. Showing that it is a reflection of a culture grown in certain conditions rather than of those conditions.
@7:00 yes, the study of history is a different game than the study of myths. This point is easily granted, I don't think the definition helped me in that :) I get what you mean now and it is fundamental, but my point about the land and the culture still stands. Even if the land would actually dream (and I think this is prevalent enough to consider, some kind of Gaya or panpsychism) it will be articulated by a culture, and the messages received will reflect the bias of the time and place.
I know you love cats, Bernardo, but there's no cat in caricature. It's cari-cuh-ture :)
She is amazing
thankyou Geoffrey. as usual, the implications of what you draw attention to are vast, important and indeed, practical. if only the astrologer, in general, would come to terms with these ideas!
I will sign up for the information session. You captured my attention, and I am intrigued by the program.
The following is a Poem/song that I actually contemplated in 1998 which I penned in 2004 and provided the music. It was included in my compilation of various poems and songs on different themes, for which I also composed and played my music on my synthesizer. This poem hints at various points in discussion in the video and would provide, at least, a brief idea with regard to your comment/question referenced at 31:01 SEARCH We search ~ all our life All our life we search for Peace, Harmony and Tranquility, Affection and Love We search for the Truth We search for the Creator, The reason to be, The reason of all. Oh, Mighty Spirit ~ Mighty Creator Do we find it at all? Search your Conscience And you will find it all Sincerity in Goodness is key Key to all purity For the pure at heart will find it all It is within reach Within your Spirit We have it all We have it all, in our Spirit For we are a part of the Creator Search and you will find it all You will find it all. Aaron Ezekiel (2004)
Thank you so much. ❤😎
Enlightening as always! Becca always runs out of time before running out of insights.
I absolutely love this lady's lectures and I admire her knowledge and wisdom that is unique. Although I find it a little bit frustrating that she can not connect the Term Hermes to Hormuz or Aurmazd, the Iranian Zoroastian Sun God, Ahura Mazda which Ahura is also the same Sun God as in Egyptian relegion. Ahura an ancient Iranian term that found its way and used in other sister Indo-European language to Persian. contemporary words as Hour are all related to the Persian Ahura and Horus the Sun God representing the TIME...
Beautifully explained. Thanks so much for your clarity.
Your beautiful words and meaning and the notion of risking everything is so timely. Ive been reading your books and am beginning the Hagitude phase of my life. Interesting times. Searching and refining the calling. Thank you.
are you familiar with the heartmath institute, heart/brain coherence, electrophysiology, and stuff? i dont think what is going on with the heart is a metaphor at all, for example see Bradley, Raymond. (2007). The Psychophysiology Of Intuition: A Quantum-Holographic Theory Of Nonlocal Communication. World Futures. 63. 61-97. this gets into parapsychology and quantum woo shit, but i think it makes alot of sense for a scientific explanation, even though admittedly i dont understand the evidence or literature too well.
45:10 i love how this 3rd classroom idea 'of the third space where this heartfelt intuitive sense and critical rationality are brought together' and how it relates to Peirce and thirdness; his thoughts on symbols and how they grow. I think I would like to email Angela. I have a music playlist, highly relevant to the topic at hand, that I would like to talk to her about. Keyword: _heartfelt_
I'd like to speak with either of you about this really
The interesting thing about this playlist/my autoplay music feed is, my communications with daimonic intelligences and my story are emboddied in the lyrics of contemporary music, album covers, music videos. So too were my own thoughts feelings and actions, events in my life, fed to me with uncanny distorted specificity in the form of song lyrics, before or after the event occurs. So now i have an archival source that makes this demonstrable not just for me but in the collective imagination and experiences of songwriters who become the voices of daimons and angels. Also how this raises interesting questions about what is really going on with ICT and high level tech-futurism, like just think about daemons(computing). Psi too, really wild stuff. But it's not all digitally mediated, it's in literature and my body, wind and sunshine too, also in these mysterious little flashes of white light etc. the whole experience had me quite spun but people like yall are really helpful in my effort to understand, thank you.
So clear, thanks for sharing this🙏🙏🙏
Such a fascinating character and topic! Thank you for this interview.
I meditate for a couple hours daily and generally follow Jungian synchronicities as a means of manifesting the Dao and abiding by Zen spontaneity. It has led me down a path of eventful and fulfilling life experiences. (I even experienced numerous deep synchronicities about the content of this video as I watched it.) I had never heard the story of Jung feeling separated from his soul and blind to synchronicities. I have also been through that existential crisis before. I'm so grateful that someone like Becca exists in this lived experience. I will definitely look deeper into her works. As an Alan-Watts style realist, I never got much into magic or astrology other than meditative manifesting and some tarot/I-ching divination. My mind is open to it, though. Purusha/God/Gaia is infinite and always unexpectedly poetic. :)
Anyone else said except for me
Such a brilliant and well described argument! Thank you
God bless sis..thank you for sharing ❣️
Thank you for this excellent interview. 19:40 Ficino's Saturn. If only popular astrology had absorbed Ficino's (and the middle ages') liberation of astrology from determinism. 34:20 the power of the human imagination
Nice, but Joseph Campbell is the gold standard as regards mythology...just my opinion. Myth, metaphor, allegory, all related words.
Came upon you watching an old documentary on Tolkien. I love your description of enchantment. I also feel that Tolkien has many profound messages in his LOTR opus to help us navigate this batshit bonkers world. Thanks for your offerings. From a west coast lover of all things Hobbit like…
Very good! thanks 🙏 Henry David Thoreau wrote, “ in wildness is the preservation of the world.“
❤❤❤❤
A great explanatory talk that helped illuminate many concepts and ideas. Thanks for the clarity, Bernardo.
Such a beautiful video, and nourishing to heart and soul !
The *_Metaphor_*_ "the finger is pointing to the moon, but the finger itself is NOT the Moon"_ ; Is often said in the Eastern Traditions, in the Teachings of the Truths of life. It means _"The words or sentences ( are fingers) in the Teachings, Scriptures or Sutras are pointing to the Moon (TRUTH) but the fingers themselves are NOT the Moon (TRUTH)";_ Because the *_TRUTH_* is inexpressible or undescribable by words or letters, or inconceivable by thoughts or imagination; And the *_TRUTH_* is unknowable, unfindable or unattainable by bookish learning, knowledge, education, conceptual abstraction, religions, religious beliefs or practices. The *_TRUTH_* can only be realized naturally by a sudden direct experience of it ie *_Self Awakening._* Sage *_Lao Tzu_* says, _"The that TAO can be said (or named, described) is NOT the real TAO."_ 😊🙏🙇♂️🌷
Kastrup says here, words to the effect of, "Where does the car end and the road begin?" meaning that the divisions we perceive are arbitrary and illusory, but convenient and helpful to us in navigating daily existence. I agree. But I think that should also be extended to the most fundamental divisions we imagine, such as the divisions between living matter and non-living matter, between consciousness and non-consciousness. Those divisions seem very real and important to us, but they're just as arbitrary and illusory as any others.
54:10 "Infinite archetypes..." ... would that not turn you into an anthropic soup ?
Kastrup's idea of empty space as universal consciousness is interesting in the fact that it is not even space because space is relative to what it is next to. Reminds me of God being limitless and thus undefinable because once you say what God is you put a limit on him. Thus you can only define God not by what he is - but only by what he isn't.
Medicine does the same exact thing --- bacteria shows up and medicine says the bacteria is the bad guy when in reality the bacteria is there to clean up what is rotted. It is like blaming the fireman who shows up at a fire to put it out -- for creating the fire because every time there is a fire he is there. IT DRIVES ME MAD that people look at the world like this
I recently found my way back to Christianity through ironically, Vedanta and reading widely fiction, poetry, drama, philosophy... literature generally. I finally embraced my own contradictions in the spirit of Whitman and Christ. "I contain contradictions...and am not contained between my hat and boots." (Whitman) "Before Abraham was, I Am." ( )
Whitman is great. But Emily Dickinson is at least his equal. The great literary critic Harold Bloom said: “Her intellectual strength and complexity are surpassed only by Shakespeare”.
You should read Owen Barfield's "Saving the Appearance" --- one of his references. And Rudolf Steiner who was a clairvoyant mystic says what Owen Barfield say before him and Steiner says way way more and he is completely forgotten.
@@garymelnyk7910 No argument, here. Between the two rests American poetry...
Thank you🙏❤️
