This is a repost of a discussion I had on The Meaning Code YouTube channel and podcast with Karen Wong, Dr. Richard Smith and Dr. Wolfgang Smith.The majority of this discussion was about bringing my and Wolfgang's work together. He is a scholar and researcher in the fields of mathematics and physics, but he is also a writer on theology, metaphysics, and religion. We discuss both our work and how they connect, sacred art, geometry, the Renaissance, materialism, perennialism, sacrifice, measurement, the continuity of identity and much more.Original interview: The Meaning Code - Jonathan Pageau /Wolfgang Smith: The Coexistence of Multiplicity & Unity: Symbolism of the Cross: https://youtu.be/WMZLHhjIsHkBooks mentioned:Wolfgang's books (selected out of a long list)-The Vertical Ascent- The Quantum Enigma- Cosmos and Transcendence- Ancient Wisdom and Modern MisconceptionsThe new physics by Stephen Wolfram: https://wolframphysics.org==================Timestamps: 00:00:00 - Coming up next...00:01:23 - Intro music00:01:47 - Start00:02:48 - Introducing the guests00:06:16 - Introduction to the discussion00:07:00 - Dr. Smith's Tripartite Cosmos (Platonist) icon00:12:44 - Jonathan's question about the image00:13:45 - Platonic geometry and time00:17:13 - The 3 parts of this image00:19:28 - Making this image 3D00:20:42 - Applications in Christianity00:23:26 - Spatial relationships between icons00:26:25 - Icons showing simultaneity00:28:24 - Jonathan's "Images of Everything"00:32:54 - The intended impact of these images00:35:43 - St. Peter saved by Christ00:37:38 - Jonathan's style of carving00:38:37 - The icon of Jonah00:39:19 - Divine darkness00:40:54 - A hostile relationship between center and periphery00:42:04 - Is there anything above the aeviternal realm?00:44:32 - Materialism and the mystery of the Cross00:49:39 - Perennialism and the Vedic tradition00:57:45 - Measurement and sacrifice01:00:30 - Transcending the dichotomy01:04:58 - Measurement and identity01:11:21 - AI and self-driving cars01:13:42 - Coherence of identity over time01:18:57 - Obstacles as the gift01:21:24 - Iconographers in the Orthodox Church01:24:23 - Catholic sacred art01:27:13 - The Renaissance and perspective in sacred art01:30:12 - Wolfgang's work01:33:27 - Something new on the horizon==================- The Symbolic World website and blog: http://www.thesymbolicworld.com- Merch: http://www.thesymbolicworld.store- The Language of Creation (Matthieu Pageau): https://www.amazon.com/Language-Creation-Cosmic-Symbolism-Genesis-ebook/dp/B07D738HD8- Carving workshop: https://jonathanpageau.thinkific.com/courses/st-john-baptistThe Symbolic World podcast:- Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0gI8bUwPtT3gkduHqNh6M5- Apple podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-symbolic-world/id1386867488More videos from The Symbolic World:- Odysee: https://odysee.com/@thesymbolicworld:2- Clips Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/JonathanPageauClips- French Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/JonathanPageaufrançais- Bitchute: https://www.bitchute.com/channel/pageaujonathan/- Dtube: https://steemit.com/@symbolismJoin the conversation:- Unofficial Facebook discussion group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1989208418065298/- The Symbolic World Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSymbolicWorld/Support this channel: - Website: https://thesymbolicworld.com/support/- Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/pageauvideos- Subscribestar: https://www.subscribestar.com/jonathan-pageau- Paypal: http://www.paypal.me/JonathanPageauSocial media links:- Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/TheSymbolicWorld- Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/pageaujonathan- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonathan.pageauMy intro was arranged and recorded by Matthew Wilkinson.My website designers, Anomalist Design: https://www.anomalistdesign.com/
