The David Andrew Wiebe Show

The story of the star is one of the most significant in the whole Bible, not just as an extraordinary standalone mythic phenomenon, which it is, but also as a trigger event for the literal birth of a whole spiritual movement that now influences over two billion people worldwide. Without predispositions or prejudice, archeoastronomers have engaged the story of the star based on their own revised de...

Archaeomythology, archeoastronomy, medical archeology, and geomythology have all gradually transformed what was once a one-dimensional wall between science and myth into a multi-dimensional window that allows scientific principles, recorded history, human imagination, and cultural identity to exchange freely between modern and ancient mankind. This free and fearless exchange of the modern and the...

Opening the window between science and myth can bring new clarity about the importance of engaging the question of mystery. Our modern attitudes often make it difficult to engage myth, but when thinkers engage myth as mystery, they cease to be judges. Ancient myths are basically portraits of the imagination and experience of our ancestors. The ninth TQ podcast is a continuation of gathering in Feb...

Our popular but simple judgments about myth are kind of a smug, self-securing firewall to the apparent ignorance and backwardness of ancient people. We protect our intellectual security against such ancient ignorance by believing nothing when it comes to myth. Could this firewall to the ignorance of our ancestors be an unintended barrier to the pursuit of knowledge or even truth? Is it possible th...

What is synchronicity? Synchronicity is a remarkable or unique concurrence of events that are not connected by cause, but may be connected by means. The seventh TQ podcast is a continuation of our fifth gathering in January, and features highlights from presenter Frederick Tamagi, as well as the music of Victor Wu. You can listen to the first part here. Thank you for listening! What questions will...

What is coincidence? Coincidence is a remarkable or unique concurrence of events without any apparent causal connection. We've become so accustomed or conditioned to living in intellectual safety that we've been duped into believing that if our personal stories of coincidence can't be empirically understood any other way, then a purely personal validation of their significance might label us with...

Have you ever had something synchronistic happen to you, and if so, have you ever wondered why? Have you ever had anyone say to you that things happen for a reason, and if so, what was your first response? The fifth TQ podcast is a continuation of our fourth gathering in December, and features highlights from presenter Frederick Tamagi, as well as the poetry and music of Jeremy Park. This podcast...

Have you ever had something synchronistic happen to you, and if so, have you ever wondered why? Have you ever had anyone say to you that things happen for a reason, and if so, what was your first response? Sometimes these incidents are convenient, like when a parking space opens up just when you drive up to it. Some are comforting, like when you were thinking of a friend or a loved one, and moment...

We can choose to examine a faraway object in the night sky with binoculars or a telescope. Or we can choose to examine a very tiny object with a magnifying glass or a microscope. Sometimes we don't intentionally choose the option that will provide more clarity. Sometimes it's just easier not to. Like Alice in Wonderland, will you choose to chase after the white rabbit? What will you discover when...

We've known for over 150 years that electrical impulses passing through a conductive medium generate an electromagnetic field, and evidently, the heart is now known to be a significant conductive medium. Is there a connection between the heart's EM field and Picasso's famous and spontaneous centaur drawing? The second TQ podcast features highlights from our second gathering. You'll hear clips from...

It's like driving a car at night. You never see further than your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way. - E.L. Doctorow The first ever TQ podcast features highlights from our first gathering. You'll hear clips from our presenter Frederick Tamagi, as well as music from our arts and music host Carla Olive, who offered insights into several songs she wrote and what compelled her to wr...
