Sacred Balance

Maps of Meaning Season 1 Episode 3

Overview:
In lecture three, we analyze the ancient concepts of yin and yang as fundamental representations of chaos and order, examining how these principles manifest in consciousness, mythology, and human relationships. We delve into fairy tales and profound biblical stories to illustrate how the feminine principle represents chaos, possibility, and the unknown, while the masculine represents order and structure, and how both can become pathological when taken to extremes. The lecture concludes by discussing the importance of balancing chaos and order in life, the role of conscience and calling as divine guides, and how hospitality and proper orientation toward these fundamental forces can lead to meaning and psychological health.
