わたしはてっきり、シカモアイチジクは（日本のイチジク同様）落葉樹だと想っていたのだが、「エジプトイチジクの樹は常緑であり、時期は一定ではないが、年に数回果実をつけるので、貧しい人々にとっては、たえず食べ物をもたらしてくれる大切な木である」（『聖書植物大事典』邦訳p.412）。

The Silmarillion is progressively becoming more ‘canonical’, and thus Tolkien more ‘prophetic’.
The “riddle of Ælfwine and Eadwine” being embodied in a “tale of time” is happening how all tales of time unfold…
By chance, if chance you call it.

@sympractical @olokardia Asking my local theater to perform Plato’s Republic…

Plato’s dialogues should be read like plays, with multiple readers each assigned a role. We would pick up on lots of subtle details that we miss by reading silently.

the desire for meaning is universal, but the pursuit of it is a recent affair. medievals did not pursue meaning. it was just there. we have this freedom. and this blessing. of pursuing meaning, not having it just given to us. thus our meaning, when found, is more meaningful.

“Our business is to present that which is timeless (the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow) in the particular language of our own age. The bad preacher does exactly the opposite: he takes the ideas of our own age and tricks them out in the traditional language of Christianity.”

What an amazing time at the Symbolic World Summit. It will take me weeks to come down from such a magical few days.

@sympractical Someone suggested to read the Gorgias dialogue out loud and now I don’t know if all the other discussants were just making fun of Socrates and he just didn’t understand that.

@sympractical There's actually another play of the Symposium with the same cast and director.

Steiner said that we are in a time when a lot of Platonist oriented souls would incarnate

People incarnate in waves, things are possible at certain times but not others, though there are always those who come out of kilter with others

@sympractical @laethcore Thats an example of the differences between reading something “symbolically” versus “allegorically”.
Whether Plato meant it “allegorically” I don’t know (that’s a question for historians and might be undecidable) but I don’t think the story means what many take it to mean.
