- Our old stories have been remembered, retold, refined in different guises for thousands of years. For that very reason, what we consider Fairy Tales, although at first glance fanciful and absurd, contain patterns of attention, of harmony and disharmony, what Pythagoras called the Music of the Spheres. For being remembered and retold, they hold a key to what is important to us as humans. We will explore these patterns of consciousness, how stories frame and underlie our experiences with rhythm, how they shape us and our children by attention and care.
I experience the movement of the spheres listening to Jonathan Pageau.
This made me dig out a book my Great Grandma gave me
50 fairy tales - from 1934
Opens with Jack and the Beanstalk
Also really like Faithful John
Thanks Jonathan! Also great talk at St. Andrews!
This was by far my favorite part of the event. Magical ideas.
Ancient stories were distilled by divine souls gathered together in the dark around a bit of light and warmth.
The Finnish Kalevala from the land of long nights perhaps is one of the highest distillation. It lives totally in the imaginary transforming vision, body and soul.
The immaginario is reality.
Vigen Guroian talks about teaching fsiry tales at different stages. Lots of good interviews as well as his book.
Is this available on spotify?
Yes on symbolic world podcast
That was good
Regarding the discussion about how to read scripture: We just finished watching the Moses 3-part dramatized documentary on Netflix and I found myself feeling simultaneously moved by that presentation of Exodus and guilty for needing that type of "low-brow" telling of the story. Now I feel better about it because Pageau gives permission for reading the bible like a story and finding meaning and ontological framing for life.
The hierarchy on bean.
(Sorry, not sorry)
