Bas van Os is a theologian who has written on the New Testament and the historical Jesus, as well as the Gospel of Philip (for his PhD). He incorporates history, archaeology, and psychology into his theological work. Today we discuss the story of Jesus from a historical perspective, exploring the gospels from a different point of view, in order to learn something new.

On this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking to Jason Schweizer, host of the Almond Tree podcast. I tried to figure out who Jason is, and what brought him to thinking about a lot of the topics that we think about on this channel as well. He opened up about his story, his battle with an almost insufferable pain, magic, witchcraft, Christianity and more. I felt that we had much more to talk about, so we will be continuing our conversation in the future!   Almond Tree: https://www.youtube.com/@almondtree   My links: Twitter: https://twitter.com/LucasVous  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lucasvoz/  Find the show on your favorite podcast app: https://pod.link/1704624799  Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@Lucasvoz

Today I'm joined by G.P. Xavier and Aron van Os to discuss Friedrich Nietzsche's "Thus Spoke Zarathustra". G.P. has his own channel on which he produces dense content about different philosophers, ideas, and he hosts conversations as well. Aron is a philosophy teacher at the University of Amsterdam, and he did his masters thesis on Nietzsche. This conversation gave a me lots of food for thought and it will be continued! Timestamps: (0:00) Introduction (4:20) What drove G.P. to the book? (6:34) Why did Nietzsche formulate a positive vision? (11:20) Dionysian vs. Christian worldview (25:14) Does Christianity deny or affirm the world? (28:09) Pageauvian view of Christianity: revealing reality as it is?

On this episode, I speak to my father, Bas van Os, and Stephan, from Charlie's Little Corner. The three of us have a total of two PhD's (you can guess who's slacking), and I always love talking to the both of them. I think the dynamic between Bas and Stephan affords great insight, as they both possess a wealth of knowledge and the ability to listen deeply. We discussed alignment (and misalignment) of the body, soul, and spirit, the recent festival Stephan and Bas both spoke at, and much more. Please enjoy!
