Episode notes
Continuous Cosmos
- In the Bronze Age, people saw the world as a "continuous cosmos", deeply connecting the natural, cultural, and divine.
- Differences between realms were seen as differences in power, not kind.
Cyclical Time and Rituals
- The continuous cosmos emphasized cyclical time, like seasons, where repetition was eternal.
- Rituals aimed to tap into this continuity and regain the original power of creation.
Two Worlds Mythology
- The Axial Age shattered the continuous cosmos, introducing a view of two worlds: the everyday and the real.
- The real world is accessible through a trained, wise mind, reducing suffering and violence.
