The Noetic Oracular Deck has its own (non-mandatory) spread based on the four worlds of Kabbalah and the Egyptian illustration of the human soul, with the goal of presenting a snapshot of the self and its interpretive moment. It works!

We wanted to start talking about the NOD's unique spread, but got off on an episode-long jag about gnosis, dogma, and the relationship between them. We're talking Sumerian and Greek mythology, Christianity, Richard Rorty's take on liberal ironism, and more!

Welcome to NODDING OFF, a weekly show about the Noetic Oracular Deck and the world of ideas that inspired it. In this episode, we talk about the Noosphere's initial conception by Vladimir Vernadsky, its further development by Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, and at least a half dozen sci-fi books with tenuous connections to the main discussion.
