Episode notes
Mountains: Transcendent Spaces
- Mountains hold cosmic significance, as places of transcendence where heaven and earth connect.
- The Bible's story begins with a garden on a mountain, symbolizing this connection.
Exile and Reconnection
- Humans, exiled from the mountain (Eden) due to distrust, seek reconnection with God.
- God invites people back, but they fail due to their own desires and lack of surrender.
Intercession and Surrender
- Righteous intercessors, like Abraham and Moses, ascend the mountain, surrendering to God.
- This act allows God to accept their intercession for those in need at the bottom.
