The French Symbolist movement was a brief moment in art history that bridged gothic romanticism with decadent, surreal modernism. The movement was concerned with articulating immortal human truths through art, rather than reason, and as a result, it invoked the psychological resonance of Carl Jung's Archetypes in profoundly unique ways. This episod…

Can giving sight to one blind man enlighten the entire world? When Jesus cured a man of blindness, He divided the community, and forced the people to question, "Who is the bearer of God's power?"

The philosophies of Christianity and Daoism both warn about the tragedy of violence, and describe the strengths that a person can achieve through peacefulness.

In his poem, A Dream Within a Dream, Edgar Allan Poe meditates on the tragedy of time passing, and cherished moments fading away into oblivion.

Today's Coronavirus Pandemic is a stark reminder of how disease resonates in psyches of a population. In 1842, Edgar Allan Poe published a short story meditating on the reality of petulance, the paranoia of contagion, and mankind's often fruitless attempts to keep illnesses out. The Masque of The Red Death, while (hopefully) not prophetic, is undou…
