Description: In this video I discuss the symbolic meaning of sacrifice in general, why it’s a human universal and how we still engage with ritualistic sacrifice today. There are many different examples of sacrifice, not only killings, but offering and dedication for initiation into a group, as tribute or taxes, remembering the dead, to found a city or a home etc. Finally I talk about how Christianity solves the problem of sacrifice, in particular the problem of mimetic sacrifice of the scapegoat (René Girard). ================================== Intro music: soundcloud.com/cosmos-os/pascal-hymn-synthwave ================================== Timestamps: 00:00:00 - Coming up next... 00:00:31 - Intro music 00:01:02 - Introduction 00:02:45 - The "religion" category 00:04:46 - The two goals of all beings 00:07:41 - Why humans kill 00:10:10 - Why humans act selflessly 00:13:33 - René Girard: The scapegoat 00:21:44 - The limits of Girard: other types of sacrifice 00:23:44 - Ritual sacrifices bind us together 00:26:48 - The tribute: sacrificing to authority 00:28:59 - Human sacrifice and war 00:33:21 - Sacrificing food 00:34:49 - The sacrifice to found a city or a home 00:37:34 - Levels of ritualized sacrifice 00:39:30 - The first born 00:41:02 - Initiation sacrifices 00:44:45 - Sacrifice in the Gospels 00:47:26 - The problem with the scapegoat sacrifice 00:50:09 - What Christianity reveals 00:53:20 - The modern world's sacrifices 00:56:20 - Abortion 00:58:11 - The elites 00:59:26 - Final words 01:01:48 - Outro ================================== - The Symbolic World website and blog: thesymbolicworld.com - Merch: thesymbolicworld.store - The Language of Creation (Matthieu Pageau): amazon.com/Language-Creation-Cosmic-Symbolism-Genesis-ebook/dp/B07D738HD8 - Carving workshop: jonathanpageau.thinkific.com/courses/st-john-baptist The Symbolic World podcast: - Spotify: open.spotify.com/show/0gI8bUwPtT3gkduHqNh6M5 - Apple podcasts: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-symbolic-world/id1386867488 More videos from The Symbolic World: - Clips Channel: youtube.com/c/JonathanPageauClips - French Channel: youtube.com/c/JonathanPageaufrançais - Bitchute: bitchute.com/channel/pageaujonathan - Dtube: steemit.com/@symbolism Join the conversation: - Unofficial Facebook discussion group: facebook.com/groups/1989208418065298 - The Symbolic World Reddit: reddit.com/r/TheSymbolicWorld Support this channel: - Website: thesymbolicworld.com/support - Patreon: patreon.com/pageauvideos - Subscribestar: subscribestar.com/jonathan-pageau - Paypal: paypal.me/JonathanPageau Social media links: - Facebook: facebook.com/TheSymbolicWorld - Twitter: twitter.com/pageaujonathan - Instagram: instagram.com/jonathan.pageau My intro was arranged and recorded by Matthew Wilkinson.
