At 26 mins Jose comments that our schools do not teach us to know ourselves. Sad lack indeed but God forbid it be included in the school curriculum. A surer way of killing off any possibility of, or desire for knowledge would be hard to find.

@alisonappleby30 You're misunderstanding. See my channel on the trivium, as well as triviumeducation*com

Very interesting. Thank you for presenting Mr. Barrera to me!

That's right, most disregard emotions, from meditating to Landmark Education to logic. And people, esp. women, are not crazy if they have them. Look at the world with the logical mostly men running it.

Your interpretation reminds me a lot of a book titled Consilience: the unity of knowledge. That was the closest I had ever come to integrating esoteric studies into my academic discipline. It's ironic how the sages and researchers have had the same ideologies over many decades but have simply expressed them differently. Alchemy and the endocrine system. It was nice to see the relativity and interconnectivity of these entities drawn out with Jung-Shaman type precision. East-West merge. Well done.

zoom in on that francis bacon stamp and you will learn where alchemists get their power

Maybe it's just me but it seems like he went into way to much detail on the rebis and not enough detail on the last 12 images. Still very nice interview.

This video starts out with some basics but gets much better, if you stay with it for the full hour. Jose does a good job tying it all together in closing with images, explaining the basic alchemical symbols and their meanings.

Very passionate delivery Jose, good work!

Thanks Jan, Great channel

@intuitiveworker Don't forget "education", sports, celebrities, religion and all other forms of "entertainment".

Entertainment is a very interesting word, look into it until you see what I mean.(hint, there is a war on for your mind)
