Deep dives
The Narrative and Objective Reality of Christ
The discussion explores the idea that the story of Christ represents the union of the narrative and the objective world. Although it may seem preposterous, the convergence of symbolism in religious traditions and the intricate concordance between astrology and Christian symbolism outlined by Carl Jung suggests that something beyond mere imagination is at play. The story of Christ goes beyond a simple dying and resurrecting god myth, as it encompasses the narrative of Christ descending into Hades and destroying death itself. This union of narrative and reality presents a profound mystery that demands attention and reverence.
