This podcast episode explores the loss of wisdom traditions in the Western world, the rise of Eastern spiritual paths, and the reimagining of the Hellenic tradition as a spiritual path. The speakers discuss the disconnect between spiritual experience and religious dogma, the impact of academia on their desire for awakening and mystical attainment, the transformative power of spiritual texts and practices, the holistic Hellenic worldview, the challenges of translation and language, the role of deities, and the appropriation of Hellenic culture by modern academia. They also touch on the Galileo Commission's call for a post-materialistic science and the issue of discrimination based on ideas within academic institutions.
