Episode Details

In this episode of The School of Divine Mysteries, Aba Al-Sadiq explores one of the oldest and most thought-provoking myths in human history — a story used by ancient philosophers to explain why human beings feel incomplete, why we long for connection, and why love sits at the core of every true religion. What begins as a discussion of Plato’s strange tale of the “first human” unfolds into a deeper reflection on loneliness, unity, and the hidden purpose behind our relationships, friendships, and communities. Join us as we uncover the ancient wisdom behind our search for wholeness — and what it truly means for the spiritual journey of humanity.
