This Embodied Life
MetaPhyiscs. An esoteric history of philosophy and spirituality brought to you by This Spiritual Life and Zayin Cabot, Ph.D., author of Ecologies of Participation: Agents, Shamans, Mystics, and Diviners.
Who am I? That's the question that drives so much of our lives. The answer has ancient roots. The idea of a Cosmic Person or Being began in the Old Kingdom of Egypt and has spread through Mesopotamia, Babylonia, India, and Greece. This is the beginnings of many foundational ideas. The idea that there is One that somehow unifies the Many. That the One is transcendent or different from the Many. And the beginnings of a dualism, between the One and the Many.
The spiritual journey toward ultimate Self is a radical leap in the direction of our contemporary sense of agency, spirituality, and the co-create nature of reality. Join Zayin Cabot, Ph.D. as he delves into the subtle realities of the Neoplatonist mystic-philosopher Plotinus, born around 200 CE.
