The Symbolic World | A Lecture by Jonathan Pageau

The Symbolic World | A Lecture by Jonathan Pageau

Our friend @Jonathan Pageau gave a lecture 

on the conceptual structure of Genesis 

for an event that was orchestrated 

by the Montreal Jung Society. 

Jordan felt that this lecture would serve 

as a wonderful adjunct to his biblical series, 

also on Genesis, featured on this channel. 

Thank you to the Montreal Jung Society 

and Jonathan for letting us release 

this video on our channel. 

We hope that you find it useful.

Event Title: The Symbolic World - 

A Lecture by Jonathan Pageau

Event Description : 

“Meaning is showing itself 

to no longer be an overlay 

to an arbitrary world 

of phenomena, 

but rather the very 

Pattern of Reality.

 

Through the questions 

of emergence, 

attention and 

consciousness which have 

been permeating so many fields 

in the recent past, 

the reality of pattern, 

ritual and image 

have also come to the fore. 

Meaning is showing itself, 

in a burgeoning post-secular age, 

as no longer only a subjective overlay 

to an arbitrary world of phenomena, 

but rather the very pattern 

of Reality Itself. 

In this frame we come to realise 

that The Archetypal Truths are

 not mostly biological and mental 

constructs in humans; they are firstly 

the inescapable patterning 

of the indefinite potential 

of The World as it encounters 

Intelligence.”
