Ancient World

Episode 3 - "The Celestial Hierarchy" of Dionysius, and symbolic reading of Moses' ascent of the Mountain.


Listen Later

In the episode we'll go through the "On the Heavenly Hierarchy" by Dionysius, and see how it in many ways also gives the overall structure of the "Paradiso" by Dante. 

We will also read from "Life of Moses" and symbolically interpret (from about 27:50) the part of Moses' journey after the crossing of the Red Sea, and to the climb of the Mountain of Divine Knowledge - and the deeper meaning of being shown the Tabernacle, or mini-temple, in the spiritual/abstract first, to then serve as the "pattern" for a material one to be built.
