It is a garden of fruits and nuts and flowers, a display case of wondrous jewelry. It is a vast and imposing landscape, filled with beauty and grandeur, the horizon of which is fringed with the bright dawning glories of God’s kingdom Day. Here, in a manner surpassing all others, we can see the real scope and magnificence of the purpose of sonship to God. Here we can trace God’s plans for His called and chosen elect to their ultimate consummation, and learn the real majesty of our destiny as sons of our Father. At every step there is something to encourage and challenge us under the trials and testings of our journey; something to confirm our faith and to fill us with glorious anticipations! The twelfth and thirteenth chapters of the Revelation were designed to set before us the three great adversaries of God’s apprehended ones. We have been told of the dragon, the principle and root of all evil, whether inward or outward — the carnal mind and the flesh nature — which persistently dogs all of our steps. We have been further told of the first beast, rising out of the sea of humanity, that bestial world system to whom the dragon has committed his authority and power. He is the second adversary. Lastly, we have been told of the second beast, rising out of the earth of the soulical nature, that false spirit of religion which unites itself to the world system, and which, even more cunningly opposed than the world itself to the life of the spirit, brings multitudes of the Lord’s people into an even greater bondage than they might otherwise have been. The picture thus presented, were it to stand alone, would in a most powerful way be discouraging and depressing! How we praise God with joy unspeakable and full of glory that the Revelation does not end with chapter thirteen! We have only to read carefully and prayerfully the thirteenth and fourteenth chapters of the Revelation to see the close and inspired connection between them. They are constructed on the same lines. They run parallel in their emphasis. Consider some of the similarities and contrasts. “I saw a beast coming up out of the sea.” “I saw a Lamb standing on mount Zion.” The worshippers of the beast celebrated his greatness in a hymn of praise: “Who is like unto the beast? and who is able to make war with him?” And over against this earthly song there is an heavenly: “And I heard a voice from heaven as the voice of many waters…and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps: and they sung as it were a new song…and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth” (Rev. 14:2-3). It is clear that in the fourteenth chapter the Holy Spirit is drawing a companion, yet contrasting, picture to the events of the thirteenth. He sets the two companies — the followers of the beast and the followers of the Lamb — in strong and vivid contrast. The book of Revelation is full of wonderful and striking contrasts which cannot but excite the spirit of all who have ears to hear and eyes to see! The Revelation deals with the mightiest contrast that ever existed — the contrast between Christ and Adam, between spirit and flesh, between truth and error, between spirituality and carnality, between the kingdom of light and the kingdom of darkness, and between God and the devil. We meet, furthermore, with the contrast between the company of the overcomers and the carnal church systems of man, between the two witnesses and the beast, between the manchild and the dragon, between the Lamb and the beastly system, between God’s Christ and the kings of the earth, 4 between the saints and the world, and between Mystery Babylon and the holy city, New Jerusalem. Again and again this mighty contrast is painted for us in brilliant hues and vivid scenes of divine revelation! It was a dark day that John painted for the church in chapter thirteen. But follow him into the fourteenth chapter. With true dramatic inspiration he quickly shifts the scene. The shadows flee, the light of a new day rims the sky, and the glory of a new order breaks upon the horizon. Let us note that in chapter fourteen we have a continuation of the symbolism begun in chapter thirteen. The fact that this has been generally overlooked has led to many dreadful errors in the interpretation of the scenes

Herein, need emerges for a new, ecclesial, trinitarian, and christological paradigm to identify purposes, ends, and goods of Christian marriage. The dissertation‘s body develops the foundation and framework of this new paradigm: a Common Way in Christ. I find this paradigm by putting marriage in dialogue with an ecclesial practice already the subject of rich trinitarian, christological, ecclesial theological development: consecrated religious life.

  • TO HEAR the ANGELS SING DOROTHY MACLEAN Dorothy Maclean Is One of the Three Founders of the Findhorn Community in Scotland
    TO HEAR THE ANGELS SING DOROTHY MACLEAN ANGELS SING DOROTHY THE TO HEAR Dorothy Maclean is one of the three founders of the Findhorn Community in Scotland. Following her inner contact with the Divine she came to communicate with the devic or angelic realms that To Hear over-light all aspects of existence. The success and subsequent fame of the Findhorn gardens arose in part from Dorothy’s telepathic contact with these kingdoms. She now travels the world giving workshops and talks about her own inner practices The Angels Sing and attunement to the Beloved. Many of the messages she received are included in this book. Their simple wisdom cannot fail to quicken an awareness of our birthright as conscious partners with all the evolutionary streams of life. “Yes, I talk with angels, great Beings whose lives infuse and create all of Nature. In another time and culture I might have been cloistered in a convent or a temple, or, less pleasantly, burnt at the stake as a witch. In our skeptical time and culture, such a claim is more likely to be met with scoffing disbelief or as the ramblings of a dreamy female. Being a practical, down-to-earth person, I bad never set out to learn to talk with angels, nor had I ever imagined that such contact would be possible or useful. Yet, when this communication began to occur, it d id so in a way that I could not dispute.” From wartime employment with the British government to co-founding the Findhorn community, and later the Lorian Association in the United States and Canada, Dorothy Maclean’s life-story is an inspiring account of a journey through self-discovery to an awareness of those forces which overlight and give order to creation — the angelic kingdoms.

  • Le Hurlement Du Papillon Performance Poétique
    performance poétique un projet du collectif de création Piment, Langue d’oiseau le hurlement du papillon performance poétique Le hurlement du papillon est une exploration poétique et musicale de l’univers de Patti Smith. Une comédienne, une musicienne et un musicien se proposent de faire découvrir à travers ce spectacle, une des facettes moins connue public francophone de Patti Smith : sa poésie. Le parcours retrace une œuvre littéraire de 1970 à aujourd’hui, dans la pure inspiration de la poésie happening américaine, mouvement initié dans les années soixante par des personnalités telles que John Giorno, William Burroughs, Alan Ginsberg, Brion Gysin... Photo Robert Mappelthorpe (1974) Comme elle a souvent l’habitude de le faire lors de ses récitals poétiques, ses poèmes, ici dits en français, seront accompagnés d’univers sonores et musicaux originaux, joués en direct par les musiciens. Le hurlement du papillon est aussi un voyage survolant sa carrière musicale par la reprise d’une chanson de chacun de ses albums de « Horses » (1975) à « Trampin’ » (2004). Le parti pris de sobriété de sa forme en fait un spectacle s’adaptant aussi bien aux théâtres ou aux festivals de rue, ainsi qu’aux petits lieux insolites. Photo Annie Leibowitz (1995) Poète, auteur, compositeur, photographe, peintre, Patti Smith, née en 1946 est une artiste, un esprit libre qui fascine par la multiplicité de ses moyens d’expression, par la pureté de son parcours artistique sans concession. Ainsi traverse t’elle les courants, les modes et donc le temps. Les poèmes interprétés dont « le hurlement du papillon » seront choisis dans les deux recueils parus aux éditions Tristram : « La mer de corail » & « Corps de plane » qui regroupent des textes parus entre 1970 & 1979 ; ouvrages édités en France en 1996 & 1998.

    Dawid Maria Osiński (Uniwersytet Warszawski) Nieuchwytne, ulotne i trwałe w twórczości Patti Smith Rozmaitości Patti Smith Patti Smith (rocznik 1946) jest poetką wymagającą. Empatycznie rozumiejąca nie- samowitość świata, krytycznie obserwująca jego meandry, zarówno te polityczno-kultu- rowe, obyczajowe, jak i fi lozofi czno-religijne, artystyczne, literackie, rejestruje w swoim pisarstwie (poetyckim i autobiografi cznym) różnorodne drogi prowadzące do wolno- ści, którą rozumie jako zgodę na osobność, przekonanie o odmienności, możliwość uczestnictwa w rzeczywistości nie tylko zachłannie, a więc z zaangażowaniem, lecz także z kontestującą nutą niezgody na bylejakość. Trwanie i ulotność okazują się dwoma ty- pami doświadczeń, dzięki którym możliwe jest dostrzeganie niesamowitości świata. Stają się dwoma skrzydłami tej twórczości, rozpisanej na protest songi, piosenki intymne, ka- meralne deklamacje z gitarą, a także prozę autobiografi czną, subtelną, niespieszną, po- kazującą, jak ważne jest rejestrowanie wspomnień o ludziach, dylematach artystycznych, oglądanych obrazach, przeczytanych tekstach, prywatnych miejscach pamięci. Twórczość amerykańskiej poetki, zarówno ta performersko-estradowa (choć to nie- adekwatne i niewygodne określenie), jej liryczny pamiętnik spotkań i dialog z kulturą w jej szerokim wachlarzu intelektualnych i emocjonalnych podniet, jak i autobiografi czne ślady składające się z historii poszczególnych, wyznaczających bieg narracji wspomnie- niowej, to materiał niejednorodny, a przez to pociągający i domagający się komentarza.

  • THE NATURE of 1-IRT.=TAN Myttivi TN the THOUGHT of BARON -VON HUGEL and GEORGE TYRRELL JOHN BERRY
    THE NATURE OF 1-IRT.=TAN MYTTIvI TN THE THOUGHT OF BARON -VON HUGEL AND GEORGE TYRRELL JOHN BERRY SUBMITTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF Ph.D THE UNIVERSITY OF LEEDS DEPARTMENT OF THEOLOGY AND RELIGIOUS STUDIES JANUARY 1989 This thesis seeks to establish the place of Baron von aigel and George Tyrrell in the revival of interest in mysticism at the beginning of the present century. Though leading figures in the modernist movement in the Roman Catholic Church, their collaboration on the subject of mysticism was central to their friendship and work. They helped to retrieve the central concerns of mystical theology after a retreat from mysticism which had affected the Church since the condemnation of Quietism in 1699. Their account of Christian mysticism, which involved a critique of Buddhism, neo-Platonism and pantheism, rested on a world- affirming attitude to creation, a balance between divine transcendence and immanence and the articulation of a legitimate panentleism. It also involved a positive acceptance of the bodily-spiritual unity of human nature and ordinary experience as the locus of mystical encounter with God. Their account also emphasised the reality of direct contact between God and the individual, and the affective and cognitive dimensions of mystical experience. They asserted the centrality of mystical union as a dynamic communion of life, love and action which is the primary goal of the Christian life. They emphasised the necessity of contemplation, understood not as passive inaction, but as a profound energising of the soul. Asceticism, the embracing of suffering, self-discipline and a right ordering of human affection, was also judged indispensable.

  • The Nature of Puerto Rican Folk Health Practices Through Healers Perceptions and Somatic Assumptions
    THE NATURE OF PUERTO RICAN FOLK HEALTH PRACTICES THROUGH HEALERS PERCEPTIONS AND SOMATIC ASSUMPTIONS DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree Doctor in Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Fanny Santiago-Saavedra, M.S. THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY 2004 Dissertation Committee: Professor Seymour Kleinman Approved by Professor Cynthia Dillard ________________________ Adviser Professor Fiona Travis College of Education Copy right by Fanny Santiago-Saavedra 2004 ABSTRACT This study presents Puerto Rican Folk Healing Practices (PRFHP) as a cultural experience in an attempt to understand attitudes towards health from the healers’ perspective and illuminate factors that resonate with the field of somatics studies, which regards individuals as whole (body-mind-spirit connection). Case studies were used to present the nature of six Puerto Rican folk healers and the practices they perform in the island of Puerto Rico. Qualitative research methods were used to gather the information. Semi-structured interviews, video observations, active participation, journals, and field notes were the tools used to capture the experiential approach of this research. Culturally grounded analysis was done in order to find common themes among six Puerto Rican folk healers and their practices. From the culturally grounded analysis, five major themes emerged. They are service, reverence to nature and natural cycles, the concept of medical mestizaje, physical and spiritual world as a continuum and the sense of embodiment. The second analysis explored how assumptions of the somatic framework relates to Puerto Rican Folk Healing Practices. The assumptions explored are a) perception of the world through the body.
