    I feel like I talked to Esther early in this new wave of her being on podcasts and I wasn't necessarily the perfect person to talk to her even though I love her and her work dearly. I'm glad all you folks are having her on!

    20:00 - About Mary's Consent - Without exemplars Being the witness one can model,
    rejection is the default to reality because why participate in the potential without somewhere to start,
    Mary's Yes is much much deeper than just Yes to Being,
    Because through her intimate dedication to the Good She afford us all the Truth to co-creation because is grounded in Gratitude or Grace.

    I've been having a similar experience with AI art creation. You can't just type what you think you want to see, its not that easy. I've had to type ideas and see if the chaos the AI generates can be reprompted and molded. It's usually hours of reprompting playing with words.
    Anyway❤ I came across this video doing a search in the corner for a discussion on meta-ethics, and your guest mentioned it briefly. It seems meta-ethics is mentioned but never discusssed in all the videos I've read the transcipts of so far.
    This was great though, got me stop and watch even without meta-ethics. Thank you!

      Could you say more about meta-ethics and why you’re searching for material on it?

      @@TheMeaningCode oh my, well, in brief as I can. Ethics or moral theories are about what is right or wrong, and each gives ways to figure out what's right or good. Like ulitarianism, divine command, deontology, or virtue ethics.
      Meta-ethics is about, why be moral at all? Or, how to choose or decide what moral theory is accurate, correct, true, or if God exists what kind of God is it, would you obey a God that was incoherent or counter intuitive, etc. The ideas get all mixed at this point and thus far the only 2 meta-ethical frames I have learned about are intution vs coherence. I was hoping to find talk about these ideas if I'm in the ball park as it were to explore. Thank you again!

      @@raqko if you’re interested, I could point you to a message I heard recently. The main idea was that God never intended for us to know evil, and he also never intended for us to know good. What he intended for us was to know Him, and to dwell in communion with Him, so, when we choose, we are not choosing between good and evil, but we are choosing between life and death

    31:45 Most people aren't aware that their grief or other intense experiences are actually encounters with The Real--being walloped by The Real!--in a way that causes them to have to reorganize their unarticulated basic presuppositions about life, meaning, purpose, relationships, etc. in this sense, we're all philosophical.

    • @TheMeaningCode
      @TheMeaningCode  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes. And underneath all of those encounters is enduring goodness and love and when we hold onto that truth, we can find our way through even the most painful of those encounters.

    Karen’s description of her method of painting (around minute 34), of creating chaos on the canvas and then looking at it to discover how to move forward, reminds me of what Stephen King has said about how he creates plots in his novels: by having something bizarre and unexpected happen and then thinking about how his characters might be expected to respond to that circumstance.

    • @TheMeaningCode
      @TheMeaningCode  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      That’s so cool! Thanks for telling me about that, Richard. That makes me think of Hans Zimmer and the way that he writes music, always starting with a question. Not a question in words, but a phrase that asks a question and then seeking out what the response would be. As John Archibald Wheeler said, “no question, no answer.”
