On the Power of No: The Apophatic path to God
Hi everyone
I wanted to bring your attention to a talk Iain gave a while ago. I was quite take by Iain’s discussion of the importance of negation in allowing creativity to come forth. In particular the way that our hemispheres must negate certain information and the Lurianic myth of negation as the first act in Creation.
I also find listening to Iain speak a wonderful way to warm myself up to the deeper explanations in his writing:
I would love to hear your thoughts on this talk,
All the best

Thank you, Zak.
I was lucky enough to be present in the audience for this talk at Duquesne back in 2016. So glad you made this available!

hi @DanSlife !
I’m so sorry for the late reply. it’s been a manic few months, but I’m really delighted to find someone who was at this talk! I’ve been meaning to take some quotes and just jot them down. Here’s a humorous one :
“The Left Hemisphere’s language and thought do not cut the mustard. And they can’t be expected to, cos its still looking for the mustard and wondering how to cut it”
😅
of course, humor is part of the lecture, but by no means does this reflect some of the other insights. The whole thing is marvelous.
Cheers!
