I’m joined today with Betty Kovacs who has her PHD in Comparative Literature and Theory of Symbolic/Mythic Language. Betty is an amazing woman who I really enjoyed having on as a guest. Her expertise in symbolic and mythic language, as it relates to the discussion we have in this episode, is about the stories and ancient writings and myths we grew up hearing about.
In this episode we talk about how these stories we’re all familiar with were initially constructed, told, and passed on for our development and growth as people and a society.
There is a noticeable gap between the rational mind and the minds of ancient, symbolic language and stories. However, while they go about communicating messages in different ways, the messages are quite similar, if not the same. With today’s evolution and comprehension of science, Betty explains how there is a bridge between the two ways of communicating as history’s stories and today’s science are coming to a point.
It helps to understand all of this before you listen because we will be fundamentally orienting our conversation around the understanding of these ancient stories and how they are comprehended today.
We discuss our origins in this episode and Betty begins to explain how the common stories of early earth and humanity have potentially been miscommunicated. We also talk about how we all can grow from not only understanding these potential miscommunications, but also from the original intent of these stories themselves by understanding symbolic and mythic language/storytelling if you will.
We discuss things like the difficulties of American politics, Hebrew texts and Origins, ancient shamanistic practices, a little about Jesus and who the Essenes were, sacred plants and consciousness and where all this takes us as science starts to better describe all of what we previously were taught about other dimensions and conscious realities.
