Yesterday,
and I tested out Substack’s new live streaming feature in a conversation that explored the psychological and philosophical dynamics of the Fall myth. Inspired by the recent article in his Shadowlands series, we consider how the development of consciousness is reflected in the myth and how the Fall symbolizes humanity’s movement from a state of unconscious unity with nature to the painful, yet necessary, growth of self-awareness and individuation. We also touch on topics such as the bridging of spirit and matter, alchemical symbolism, Jungian typology, and related mythic figures like Prometheus.Read Arran’s article:

How do you interpret the Fall myth? Do you see it as relating to the growth and expansion of consciousness? How do you like the format of live video, should I do more of these in the future?
