Summary

Explore the mystical parallels between the Tarot and the Gospel of John in this profound conversation with Professor Eric Cunningham. Delve into Christian Hermeticism, Rudolf Steiner’s esoteric insights, and the role of the Fool as a cosmic archetype. This episode offers seekers a fresh lens on spiritual initiation and inner transformation through symbolism, scripture, and soul.

Overview

In this illuminating episode of Higher Density Living, Jason Rigby welcomes back Eric Cunningham, Professor of History at Gonzaga University and a leading voice in esoteric studies and Zen thought. With expertise in modern Japanese intellectual history, Anthroposophy, and spirituality in the digital age, Eric bridges Valentin Tomberg’s Meditations on the Tarot with the mystical Gospel of John to reveal a shared path of Christian initiation.

Together, they explore how the Major Arcana — from the Fool to the World — mirror the spiritual evolution depicted in the Gospel. From Steiner’s vision of thinking as spiritual perception to John the Baptist as the archetypal Fool, Cunningham reframes the Tarot not as occult divination, but as divine revelation. This dialogue invites listeners to expand beyond dogma, meditate on mystery, and activate higher density consciousness through spiritual symbols and inner truth.
