All right, it seems that we are live and no technical problem this time. I was sure there was going to be one and then I took the time to make sure that there wasn’t but there was at the beginning. I don’t know why YouTube doesn’t like my camera for some reason. All right, okay. So there are a lot of things going on. First of all, for those that are new or just showing up the way this works is people that support me on Patreon for like 10 USD. What is the Orthodox view of what Christ accomplished to his passion? In other words what is the good news of the Orthodox Church? Man you guys how can you ask these questions? I mean I’m not going to be able to answer them all. I’m not going to be able to answer them all. I’m not going to be able to answer them all. I’m not going to be able to answer them all. What is the good news of the Orthodox Church? Man you guys how can you ask these questions? I can you ask me what Christ accomplished to his passion at like 10 o’clock at night after two hours of speaking. I would say read the Bible. I would say yeah I don’t know it’s too these questions are too encompassing. They’re too big to be answered quickly. So what did Christ accomplish to his passion? He went into death and then abolished death. There you go. That’s the best answer I can give you. So jail for six Australian. What’s the symbolism of desalination making seawater potable? How do you pronounce that word? In French we say potable. If you use the term bitter waters, and I’ll be a happy man. Yes that’s what it’s definitely related to that. It’s definitely related to the idea of changing bitter waters into clean water. And so it’s the you know the symbol of the cross kind of the tree being put into the water in order to in order to change the bitter waters into sweet waters. So it definitely has something to do with that. But I have to think about what it would mean to do that artificially. Because I mean this idea of making seawater drinkable something which happens all the time. You know that’s what the sun does. The sun makes seawater drinkable again. All right so Andrew Davis for ten dollars USD. Do you see a parallel between the Tower of Babel and modern day globalism? It appears Satan is once again trying to gather the world tonight in a new system against God. That’s I mean it seems like I mean they don’t it’s hard not to see that. There’s a poster I’ve shared it once on social media. There’s a poster of the European Union when they were trying to put together the European Union. They had the goal to use an image of the Tower of Babel in one of their advertisements of Rugal’s Tower of Babel. Even the one that’s unfinished kind of showing that they’re going to finish the Tower of Babel is such pride. It’s insane. So it’s simple. The world exists through fractal hierarchies. So in order for the world to hold together the pattern of the world has to repeat itself at all the different levels of reality. And so the world exists through a hierarchy of associations. Right. So you find your identity in yourself and your family in your friends in your soccer team and your clubs in your interest groups in your your city in your nation in your all of this is all manifesting the pattern. The same pattern at all the different levels of reality. It’s acting like a like a like a like a set of roots that is holding all everything together so that that are fractally structurally at every level of identity manifesting itself. Now the problem with something like the Tower of Babel or the idea of globalism is to want to break down these intermediary units and just unite everybody under one thing. And that doesn’t work. It’s going to do the opposite. Things are going to start to fragment. They’re going to start to break down because because the the the totalizing identity is going to present itself as being in competition with these secondary identities. And that’s not how it’s supposed to be. It’s supposed to layer itself up. Right. Your family is not in competition with the city. It shouldn’t be. These are just different levels of identity. And so this is the problem with this with the Tower of Babel. It’s a problem with globalism too. Is that they just want us all to be united under one thing. I’m not sure what it is. Is it is it like pride? Is it just environment? Is it is it? I don’t know. It’s hard to totally understand what it is they want us to unite under. But they want to replace these these secondary hierarchies with just one thing that now fills up the world. So for example, if you look at this, the kind of woke infiltration of organizations, you can see that that’s what they’re trying to do. They’re trying to replace every goal of every organization that they infiltrate with the woke ideology. And they want to make that the purpose of everything. So the purpose of a soccer team isn’t to win the soccer team, soccer championship anymore. It’s to be diverse. Right. And to be intersectional. So the purpose of the post, the purpose of the US Mail or the Canadian Canadian Post isn’t to deliver mail anymore. It’s to be diverse. It’s to be intersectional. And it’s that becomes true in every organization. But it doesn’t work. It just doesn’t work because it’s breaking down the world. As it’s trying to unite it under one thing, it’s actually destroying the real hierarchies that are holding the world together. So it doesn’t work. So something new for five dollars. That’s what is the symbol of most soldiers. I’m a service member. How can I best understand meaning, my profession and the role I play? And so I mean, soldiers are there to protect the integrity of what they’re protecting, whether it’s their nation. Whether it’s police practicing, you know, protecting the integrity of cities or of neighborhoods or families. That’s the purpose of a soldier is to protect the integrity of things from outside attack. Because when there are different identities, sometimes the outside of one identity is a potential for the other. And so it’s like your land is potentially my land. And so you have to you have to somehow protect the integrity of your land to prevent me from seeing you as just potential for me, as food for me. You know, and so that’s what soldiers do. So Mr. Highway for 99 cents sends me a banana peel. Nice. Austin Rush for 99 says, after watching Tenet, I’m wondering if you see Nolan playing out the pattern of the saint of his namesake. Thank you, glory be to God. I never thought about that. I have to think about it. Yeah, Tenet is definitely interesting in terms of all the whole symbolism of inversion and and flips that we talk about and how this kind of plays with the world. But it’s yeah, I’m not sure it’s totally coherent in terms of or not not totally coherent, but that it’s not sure it exemplifies something. For sure, one of the things that exemplifies is the capacity of the of using the future to destroy the the the present. That’s an interesting idea. You know, that’s a different that’s an interesting idea. If you think about things like transhumanism using the potential of the future to destroy the present, though in Tenet you have some of that going on, which is very interesting. So KK, item tag for 1999, your thesis. Happy birthday in advance. Thank you. I was listening to the Lord of Spirits and Father Stevens said a body was a nexus of powers. Which is only the church described as the body of Christ instead of the whole creation in scripture. Which is only the church described as the body of Christ instead of the whole creation in scripture. And so you have to see it as these nested realities, you know, and so the church. So think about it like. Think about it like something. Think about it this way. Think about it like the church is the body of Christ. But the church is also something like the priests of reality. And so the church acts as a nation of priests, which intercedes for all of creation and is also participating in the manner in which all of creation can become a nexus of powers for the logos to be embodied in through the church and through and then see it nested at different levels. The Saints act like that for us. And then we are the body of Christ. The church acts like that for us. And then we with the Saints act like that for the whole of reality. You can see other levels, if you want. But that’s the best way of understanding it. So Kyle Hough of 10. What’s the symbolism of me enjoying drinks in the midsummer sunset while watching the lightning bugs over pasture and listening to Kevin Kulhaji answers from this distributed community of symbologists? So I don’t know. I mean, the symbolism of that, I don’t know. It’s a nice moment. It’s the evening. You’re done your work and you’re allowed to enjoy some rest. And so hopefully you feel like my speaking for you at least is not work, that it’s kind of leisure. So Andrew Komaromi for 10 says I’m in residential construction, and I’m wondering if you could shed some light on laying out the design of a home specifically as a domestic church. So I’ve talked about this quite a few times. In terms of you can understand a house as a hierarchy of intimacy is probably the best way to understand it. And also a kind of union of different purposes into one whole. And so it really is a little microcosm, you know, of reality. And it is very it is similar to a church. So you can think of a can think of sorry, a house having something like a porch or an entrance, which is like the vestibule, or the narthex in the church. And then you have a common area, which would be like the living living room dining room, which is a place where you can have guests like you know, you encounter strangers on the porch or at the end the entrance of your house, you don’t necessarily let them in. And the people you let in are people you know better, you are closer to it. So you have your friends, you have acquaintances into your living room, you have your good friends, your family at your dining room, where you meet eat together and then you have the intimacy with your with your your husband or wife in the bedroom, which is not meant for strangers and is not even meant for your friends, people shouldn’t go into your bedroom if there’s unless they really have a reason to it’s odd to do that. And so it’s a it’s a hierarchy of intimacy is the best way to understand it. So the ABC 123456 gives another 20 usd to just write nofap gang. So well, I’m happy. That you’re in the nofap gang. So Ron Wood for 1999. Hello, Jonathan. Have you read Far Eastern folklore? I’ve read some and see a lot of symbolism. I understand but I also find some things like the use of snakes in the legend of tonneau of Japan that I can’t play as well. I don’t know like I’ve read some. But I don’t know like I don’t know that legend. And I don’t know I don’t know enough. But I want to know why I like to listen to to kind of other fairy tales from other countries because they can sometimes come at an angle that you don’t expect and surprise you. So Normative for 1999. Brothers, it is later than you think hasten therefore to do the work of God. Good encouragement. So the new guy 999 says what are your thoughts on Protestantism? I know you’ve expressed less than positive views on it but want to know what your main criticism are. Do you think of it as false or confused Christianity? I just said like late you probably weren’t listening at the beginning. I said that I want to try to stop constantly criticizing Protestantism. But I would say that my basic criticism Protestantism is born in a revolutionary, the problem of revolution and how revolution removes legitimacy. And once you’ve done that then you’re in trouble. It’s like I always say that I agree with Luther in his criticism of the corrupt medieval church and the different abuses that were there. But as soon as Luther, who wasn’t a bishop and wasn’t even a priest, starts to name priest then I’m done with Luther because you can’t give yourself authority. Like actual you can say your opinion. Like it’s like I can give you my opinion. You know I can say things but I don’t, I can’t lead you guys in a real way and I don’t want to. That’s why I keep sending people to church. I’m like go to church. Don’t follow me. Like you can like what I say and you can agree with things I say and it can kind of help you in your life but I’m not your leader and I don’t want to be. And if I was then you should flee me like a plague if I would try to be your leader or your like spiritual leader or whatever. And so that’s it. Like that’s my problem. So Michael O’Connor for $20 said, do you ever consider Catholicism before you became Orthodox? And so I did because I’m French Canadian and so I did consider Catholicism before becoming Orthodox but I felt like I felt like it was coming. I was leaving the kind of Protestant church and then I could see that the Catholic church was kind of coming towards the Protestant church in terms of the way that it was doing things. And so it just didn’t die for me. I have friends who became traditional Catholics that were kind of in the same meaning crisis as I was when I was younger and they seem happy there. So I mean I have respect for serious Catholics. I have respect for all serious Christians. It’s like I think you have to be careful like when I’m also criticizing different types of Christianity that I think we have to be really careful because just because someone’s Orthodox doesn’t mean that they can be just they can be a horrible person and a horrible Christian. And it’s not just because you’re baptized and you go to a certain church that it immediately gives you value. You know there are people that I would hesitate to criticize in all the different denominations because they they embody they seem to embody they seem to embody Christ and so so I have to be careful. So yeah so I think so I think we’re done guys. 10 30. So yeah so we got through this and so so thanks everybody for your attention. Thank you for your time and so let me get one question from the chat. Look at me I’m actually getting questions from the chat. So Jonathan can you Samuel Ramalera says can you explain briefly how the consulting on symbolic world website works. I’m actually not taking any consulting. I should probably remove that from the website. I’m actually not taking any more consulting contracts just because I’m really overwhelmed with everything. So yeah so I’m not doing that. So anyway so it was good to talk to everybody and I will see you all next month. Thanks for your attention and I’ll talk to you very soon. Bye bye.
