The Powerful Meaning of St George | Joseph Campbell and Jonathan Pageau

[@burt2800]

Modernity has left us with an obsession of the newness of things, not the trueness of things. Love that.

"Modernity has left us with an obsession with the newness of things, not the trueness of things." Wow, that line is an amazing distillation of the spirit of our age.

[@OliverMurrayYT]

Thank you.

[@felixwalne3494]

That is an amazing quote! So true! We have an obsession with being original, where is the ancients never did.

[@justinhebert5155]

@@felixwalne3494 yes, we have an obsession with being 'original' and also with being 'authentic' which is a euphemism for being led by our feelings.

Thank you God, thank you Jesus, thank you St. George .

[@Saint_Cuthbert]

Love this. Thank you. My son's name is George, named after St. George, and his patron saint is St. George of course. He's only 5 months old and such a joy.

[@OliverMurrayYT]

That's wonderful. Wishing him the very best. I have a nine month old daughter and it's a very special (albeit tiring!) time.

[@Ryvonify]

St. George is my confirmation Saint. I had a sword tattooed on my arm 3 years ago. I was confirmed in my Catholic faith 1 1/2 years ago. Even before I became Catholic, I wanted to be Saint George when I grew up. I’m 25 now (nearly 26), and I still want to be Saint George when I grow up. I can do it (and if not, at least I’ll try) and you can try too. Head up lads. Keep after it.

I was in despair that philosophy and theology were dead in the water. Gone! A remnant of past ideologies, lost. Thank you for showing me that it is alive and well in the generations who will inherit.

"The fact that everything has been debunked and put under the microscope is perhaps the very reason we find ourselves in our own lives overanalyzing everything...". It's so refreshing to hear someone younger expressing what you have in this video, and that sums up the difficulty in my (no doubt longer) journey as well as that of many others. Lovely video.

[@OliverMurrayYT]

Thank you.

[@NuLeif]

Fantastic insight and video! Thank you for producing it.

[@firmbiz000]

Amazing. I feel blessed to have come across your channel. Your story to Christianity is similar to mine. I look forward to seeing your channel grow.

[@OliverMurrayYT]

Thank you.

[@issaavedra]

This is great. I'm painting the Icon of St. George and this is inspiring.

[@jeffspruance9388]

I really enjoyed this video, for both the historical information and the philosophical contentions made. Well done good sir

[@Im_No_Expert_72]

Truism: not all Christians are the best of people. But the best of people are always Christians. In my unapologetic opinion

[@jonathanumbriaco175]

Oliver you're awesome! Thanks for starting your channel and sharing this incredible content. You're also very easy to listen to as your insightful and succinct. Your video about 'Its a wonderful life' I've shared with a few friends who valued your insight and guidance! Keep up the good work!

[@OliverMurrayYT]

Thanks very much!

[@06rtm]

Well done

[@sinterior2626]

Excellent presentation of a story our leaders seem keen to repress. Came upon your video as I noticed the dragons at the entry points to the City of London, how relevant this fable is too today. Very well articulated, enjoy your day.

[@hunnymccann9349]

Thanks for this and all glory to Father in Heaven for St George 🙏🏼❤️

[@impostoeroubo7881]

[@augustojoaquínrodríguez]

Why the hero is always represented as the most muscular, athletic, symmetrical man on earth?

[@marketgardener8957]

Because that reflects most on that which is most Good, Genius, Beautiful, Perfect and Just. That is the most Truth(ful) and wonderful, to be the Highest one could ever (or could not ever), so that we may dare to aspire and walk still on the path of the Hero

[@monkeyboy2297]

because it looks better than a bloke with a handbag on his arm

[@GMurph2336]

Because that is the peak of human physical capability.

[@lizoriginale]

how refreshing you are

[@lumberpilot]

Why is St. George's Day on April 23?

[@OliverMurrayYT]

It’s the day on which St George was martyred.

[@andreaurelius45]

Good Commentary

[@OliverMurrayYT]

Thanks

[@Im_No_Expert_72]

Well done! I venerate and petition St George daily. 👏☦️

[@unnf9971]

Funny how your channel right now have 666 subscribers, I don't know if I should be the one to break it

[@raymondfranklin348]

Beloved Saint George is also compared to be Hizir in Sufism.

[@jaime8318]

I suspect that the story of St. George is Christianity borrowing from older stories that pre-date Christianity. I also suspect that the dragon is symbolic of something else and not actually a dragon.

[@BillSikes.]

Some say he was posted to Egypt with his Legion, where he slayed a huge troublesome Nile Crocodile 🐊

[@andreaurelius45]

Diocletian was the head of the Dragon. The Christian persecution was resisted by the Holy Martyers. Saint George was a slayer of that beast.

[@liannblack2427]

Oh stop the pretencoois crap everyone. Theres nothing to look further than whatsbin front of you, a dragon. He slayed an actual dragon. All aincent cultures knew of the dragon. Inca aztec temples are with the serpant dragon aincent china also. Archeologists found dragon fossils and from the 15th century latin drawings from the east of dragons fighting with tigers. Go look up your history people. Its not a coincidence all cultures knew of the dragon and its not symbolic, wake up people

[@GeraAbi]

Wonderfull video. Thank you.

[@artytomparis]

Oh stop rabbiting on like a monotonous hypnotist and make some sense.

[@artytomparis]

He killed Yahweh and freed the people of Palestine.
