About this episode

Mario Garza returns to InnerVerse to explore the metaphysical patterns of symbolism across various cultures and its implications for the spiritual journey in modern times.

The Dharma wheel. The Christian cross. The Egyptian bull god. Symbolic researcher Mario Garza of  Symbolic Studies  returns to InnerVerse for a freeform exploration of a central metaphysical pattern, questioning if that pattern may be the architecture of reality itself. Watch the video episode Why does the Rider-Waite Chariot card show wheels pointed sideways and sphinxes that aren’t even harnessed? What does the bull have in common with the cross? Why did nearly every ancient culture place a bull, a tree, or a still point at the center of its cosmology? And what does any of this mean for the spiritual journey in an age of accelerating modernity? Topics traced: the unmoved mover, the still center versus the spinning circumference, bull symbolism across Vedic, Buddhist, Egyptian, Greek, and Phoenician traditions, the philological golden thread connecting wheels, bulls, bills, and lords, René Guénon’s reign of quantity, and why “going with the flow” is centripetal physics in metaphysical disguise.
