Becoming Human

Apocalypse: A Philosophy of Angels, Ep. 1: The Messengers


Listen Later

The idea of Angels, whether we believe in them or not, reveals secrets about human consciousness and how to transform it.

In this episode, I use the German poet Rilke to connect deep patterns across Judaism, Islam, and Christianity and other traditions, found in their shared understanding of angels as messengers that lead to revolutionary transformations of human consciousness.

Ultimately, we discover that humans across all time, cultures, and traditions all believe in some idea of what angels are, and that idea is connected to accessing inspiration and higher states of consciousness.
