Episode 27 - Overview of Sphere 4-7, and Canto 19. Towards the Contemplative.
In the episode the Eagle is flying in circles over Dante, and answering his questions about the nature of Justice, and some profound questions in Medieval Theology. We also get nine tercets (3-line units) about historical bad rulers, most of them from the contemporary times in the 12- and 13 hundreds.
We are now in the third of the "Active Lives" spheres, before we reach the Contemplative Sphere as the top of the four higher spheres in Paradise.
Major themes are the one and the many, in unity, and the growing influence of music in the higher spheres!
Thanks for listening,
and enjoy!
