    Religion Program 3840: Judaism and the Body

    CARLETON UNIVERSITY College of the Humanities: Religion Program 3840: Judaism and the Body: Food, Sex and Death Course Delivery: Online on Brightspace and fully asynchronous (Not CULearn see below) Winter 2021: January 11-April 14 Professor: Dr. Deidre Butler Email: [email protected] Online Office Hours: Online office hours Wednesdays 4:30 -5:30 pm details TBA on what system we will use on Brightspace. Also by appointment for online and telephone appointments at other times. Course Description: This 3000 level course explores Jewish life, law, and practice through the bodily experiences of food, sex and death in historical and contemporary perspectives. From kosher bacon to sex work to zombies in Jewish law this course will reflect on the body as a material site of the religious to target key questions around what it means to be human, holiness and the sacred, gender and sexuality, identity, otherness, and community, tradition and authority, and health and wellness. In religious studies we understand religion as a human phenomenon that we study from critical, historical, and evidence-based perspectives. Jewish bodily practices include ritual observance, commanded and prohibited behaviours, and cultural practices. These practices reflect the diversity of Judaism itself, lived by humans in specific times and places and experienced in particular cultural, social and political contexts. As such we will consider a range of Jewish bodily practices and experiences that are both historical and contemporary. Key questions include: How does

    The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac by Samael Aun Weor

    The Secret Doctrine Of Anahuac Samael Aun Weor The Secret Doctrine Of Anahuac By Samael Aun Weor 1 The Secret Doctrine Of Anahuac Samael Aun Weor Chapter 1 The Seven Celestial Caves For the benefit of the Great Cause, I will start this treatise by transcribing something marvelous. It is significant for me to refer to a quote by Don Mario Roso de Luna in his Book That Kills Death, of an account by friar Diego Durán’s remarkable work on the history of Mexico. As I do not wish to take credit for other people’s work, these paragraphs are quoted. The History of the Indies and New Spain and Islands of Firm Land (a beautiful book written right after the Spaniard colonization of that vast empire) by friar Diego Durán relates that emperor Moctezuma, then reigning in full wealth and glory, believed himself to be almost a god. The wizards and priests of his kingdom, much wiser and richer than him since they dominated their inferior desires, told him: “Our lord and king! Do not boast of what you reign over. Your ancestors, the emperors you believe dead, surpass you in their world the same way as the sunlight surpasses any firefly.” Then the emperor Moctezuma, moved more by curiosity than pride, decided to send a high commission loaded with presents to his ancestors’ land, that is, the blessed Dawning Mansion. This is beyond the seven Pacaritambo caves from where the Aztec people reputedly came from, and which is praised so much in their ancient traditions. The obstacle consisted, however, in obtaining the proper means and the way to reach successfully such an obscure and mysterious region.

    Pistis Sophia Unveiled Samael Aun Weor 1

    Pistis Sophia Unveiled Samael Aun Weor 1 Pistis Sophia Unveiled Samael Aun Weor PISTIS SOPHIA UNVEILED By SAMAEL AUN WEOR 2 Pistis Sophia Unveiled Samael Aun Weor PROLOGUE We, the forty-two Judges of Karma, exhort the Gnostic people to be united in these moments in which humanity is found at the crossroads of “To be or not to be.” We speak, reunited in full council with the just authorization of Yew, Patriarch of the Supreme Hierarchy, and the whole White Fraternity to which we belong. We send our blessings to all humans beings, without distinction of sex, creed, race, or color. We yearn for the revolution of the Christic Consciousness, to accelerate its steps in order for Christ to descend into you. Thus, the light of the Divine Logos will make the igneous rose of spirituality flourish on the giant cross of the galaxy. We, reunited in the Heart Temple of the Earth by the supreme order of the Heart Temple of the Sun and its Hierarchies, and with the powers that have been conferred to us. We have authorized the publication of this book, The Gnostic Bible, The Pistis Sophia Unveiled, in which all of our sacred mysteries are concretely found, because the precise instant has arrived in which it must encounter humanity. The ascending periplus, with all the published books of the Venerable Master Samael Aun Weor, has accomplished its commended mission with the unveiling of this sacred work. This book fills one of the greatest necessities of the world. It is the forefather of a new civilization, of a new culture, and the re-establishment of the holy Gnostic Church on the face of the Earth.

    Open Conversation in Closed Communities

    OPEN CONVERSATION IN CLOSED COMMUNITIES Subjectivity, Power Dynamics and Self in First Person Documentary Practice about Closed Communities IRIS ZAKI Department of Media Arts Royal Holloway, University of London September 2017 Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (50% Creative Practice — 50% Exegesis) DECLARATION OF AUTHORSHIP I, Iris Zaki, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: ______________________ Date: __22 September 2017____ 2 ABSTRACT This practice-based research was born out of the short documentary, My Kosher Shifts, which was made for a Master’s in Documentary Practice at Brunel University, London. The film was shot in an ultraorthodox Jewish hotel in London, in which the filmmaker worked as a receptionist and used an experimental documentary method to capture her interactions with random guests. The success of this documentary method, which was reflected in the ease with which subjects opened-up to the filmmaker and to the camera, encouraged this practice-based research and the further exploration of the method via the production of two more films, in two different communities. For this purpose, a number of key elements were identified in the filmmaking method of My Kosher Shifts, including: the filmmaker’s occupation of a customer service position; the abandoned camera technique (the use of fixed unmanned recording devices); the interaction with subjects through conversation rather than interview. Two films were produced for the following research, which aims to apply the method with these key elements: Women in Sink, was shot in a Christian-Arab hair salon in Israel, where the filmmaker took the position of hair washer for the purpose of making the film; Café Tekoa was shot in a West-Bank Jewish settlement in which the filmmaker was unable to gain a position in a local business and instead conversed with subjects in a pop- up café/studio in the commercial centre of the settlement.
