Into a New World - with Chris Mastropietro

I sat down with Christopher Mastropietro, a trained philosopher who has been working with John Vervaeke on various projects. They wrote a book together called ‘Zombies in Western Culture: A Twenty-First Century Crisis’ and Chris is currently helping John to turn his Meaning Crisis lecture series into a book.In our conversation we discuss how these ideas about symbolism in a postmodern world are changing our culture, what the new world will look like and what it takes to get there. We also talk more generally about growth and repentance, breakdown, grace, academia VS this online world, our upcoming projects, and the process of doing creative work.- Zombies in Western Culture: A Twenty-First Century Crisis, by John Vervaeke (Author), Christopher Mastropietro (Author), Filip Miscevic (Author): https://www.amazon.com/Zombies-Western-Culture-Twenty-First-Century/dp/178374328X/-Article: Love in the Time of Covid, by Christopher Mastropietro: https://medium.com/@CJMastropietro/love-in-the-time-of-covid-4f9f69bce94e=========Timestamps:00:00:00 - Coming up next00:01:48 - Intro music00:02:14 - Start: the change of perspective00:06:05 - Birth pains for a new world00:10:08 - The old world is still here00:11:39 - The role of Covid00:16:23 - Is there a real need for breakdown?00:21:56 - 2nd order despair00:25:27 - Practising grace00:34:14 - Gaining maturity00:41:16 - How is Christopher integrating this into his life?00:45:13 - Academia and philosophy00:53:48 - What is Christopher working on?00:59:58 - Jonathan's upcoming book projects01:08:27 - Interpreting vs creating01:14:19 - Staying in the world01:16:39 - Mystical creativity=========- 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/
