Episode notes
Satan As Functional Tester
- Satan functions as a God-created tester: tempter, accuser, and internal critic necessary to expose flaws.
- The function becomes evil when it acquires a will to power and uses discovered flaws for domination.
Heaven As Plan, Earth As Materials
- Pageau reads Genesis as a symbolic grammar: heaven as plan and earth as materials for building reality.
- Meaning appears when plan orders materials; without plan, materials remain purposeless nature.
Water, Chaos, And Feminine Renewal
- Water symbolizes chaos and renewal: first expelled to build order, later returned to refresh and sustain the garden.
- The feminine role links to renewal, cleaning, and improving forms symbolized by water and the crown.
