CELESTIAL INTELLIGENCES w/ Greg Kaminsky
For the nineteenth episode of the Integral Stage Author Series, Layman welcomes Greg Kaminsky back to The Integral Stage, this time to talk about his new book, Celestial Intelligences. The book explores the remarkable life and ideas of esoteric, integrative Renaissance philosopher and mystic, Giovanni Pico della Mirandola; kabbalistic and Christian neo-Platonic angelology; and the possibilities for self-transformation through esoteric, contemplative, and magickal practices. Greg Kaminsky is a close student of Traktung Rinpoche and a practitioner of Vajrayana Buddhism. He is also a long-time podcaster, a scholar of medieval studies, and an explorer of Mysteries who is intimately familiar with Western esotericism. His prior works include an essay in The Art and Science of Initiation (2019) and the newly published Celestial Intelligences--Angelology, Cabala, and Gnosis: Giovanni Pico della Mirandola's Quest for the Perennial Philosophy (2021).
