The Specificity of Christian Theosony Phd.Pdf The Specificity of Christian Theosony: Towards a Theology of Listening Nóirín Ní Riain B.Mus. (Cork), M.Mus., H.Dip. in Ed., Dip.Phil. NUI, Dip. CMSM Doctor of Philosophy Mary Immaculate College University of Limerick – Ollscoil Luimnigh Supervisor: Doctor Eamonn Conway Submitted to the University of Limerick August 2003 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This work would not have been initiated without the insight, help and support of my supervisor, Dr. Eamonn Conway. Its fruition to this particular stage has been due to the extremely generous input and textual editing of three people: Mark Patrick Hederman, OSB, John O Donohue, and Cyprian Love OSB. Gregory Collins OSB was a sensitive, prayerful companion throughout the journey. To Father Abbot Christopher Dillon and the Benedictine community of Glenstal Abbey, I am grateful beyond words, for the living and library space to complete the writing. Two people here deserve mention: Librarians Fr. Vincent Ryan and Br. Colmán Ó Clabaigh were, at all times, welcoming, accommodating and tolerant. My mother, to whom this work is dedicated, taught me more about listening to God than I can ever tell. She was called back to God two weeks before the dissertation was submitted. Her common sense intuitively taught me that God does not discriminate; hearing the divine voice is an experience that includes everyone. For miscellaneous reasons, I am so grateful to Senan Furlong OSB, Pattie Punch, UL, Phyllis Conroy and the interlibrary staff of MIC, Mícheál Ó Súilleabháin, Eoin Ó Súilleabháin, Mícheál P.Ó Súilleabháin, Noel Ryan, Ciarán Forbes OSB, Carmel Sheridan, Simon Sleeman OSB, Fintan Lyons OSB, Michael Drumm, (Mater Dei), Sr. Marcellina O’ Sulllivan, Sr. Anne O Leary, Barry McMillan, Oonagh O’ Brien, Thomas Brodie, Margaret Daly, Peter and Margaret Ferguson, Declan Casey and Conor Flynn. The final acknowledgement rests with the triune God: The All-powerful Father created the human being to pray constantly and this work, particularly in its inevitable darknesses and doubts, was always a prayer. Jesus Christ taught humanity to listen and pray in human words which this is made up of. The Holy Spirit guided and enlightened in so many mysterious ways that one could never forget that ‘He who planted the ear, does he not hear? (Ps. 94:9) Benedicamus Domino. Deo gratias. ABSTRACT The burden of this thesis is to show that of all the existential prevenient sites where nature prepares for the event of revelation, the human ear is the most sensitive and theologically attuned. The foundation stone of this work is that the encounter with the incarnate Word of God through the Holy Spirit takes place primarily, although not excepting other media, through the human sense of hearing, listening and its associate silence. The second hypothesis proposed here is that such acts of listening to the Spirit of God are undervalued, unexplored and unappreciated in Western Christianity. That sound preceded sight is a fact of the Christian narrative yet the Christian tradition has made little effort to develop a methodology to explore such an aural concept of God’s self-disclosure. Without overestimating the intention of this thesis, it would be fair to say that the present writer has identified a lacuna in theology. It is her modest intention to propose and sketch one possible methodology in order to begin to address this absence. At the outset, I wish to underline three elements of our proposed methodology: Firstly, defining an aural ontology requires the coining of a new word: theosony. Secondly, four branches of learning are harnessed to sketch the groundwork towards a theory of auditory Christianity: theology, philosophy, biology and linguistics. Thirdly, a taxonomy of divine/human encounter through the medium of sound will be set out. God provides both the faculty of hearing and the content of what is heard as prevenient grace. Such aural grace is ubiquitous and indiscriminate, it precedes all human experience in and of the world. ‘Theo’ in theosony evokes this graced Christian experience. Theosony itself is treated at three levels: Cosmic Theosony relates to all sounds which are non-human, mundane and pre-conceptual; Kerygmatic Theosony deals with sounds that communicate, carry a message or a meaning; Silent Theosony treats of the intimate salvatory presence of God that is silent, aphonic and solitary. As in human silence, the realm of God’s silence is a positive ground or horizon of sound; theosonic silence is, in this sense, the horizon of God. Many insights from contemporary philosophy have been used to develop this aural ontology. For the most part, this work could be described as a phenomenology of hearing as the basis for human interconnectedness including our relationship with God. It describes the human ear as the heart of human being: the membrane which allows access to all that is beyond ourselves and, therefore, one of the most privileged inlets to God.

Maria Jolas, Boston: Beacon Press, 1958, (1964), p.198. From Abraham to the incarnate Son of God, the connection between humanity and God was through the ear. God taught and continues to teach the universe to listen. Any listening, therefore, is, in itself, the voice of God in the transcendental ear of the listener. It is a dialogue between partners and friends. Two intentions and two premises The first intention is to argue that God’s self-disclosure can occur through a certain kind of listening. Such listening is an aural understanding that involves hearing, obedience and silence. The English term ‘obedience’ is derived from the Latin ‘ob-audire’; the Hebrew and Greek words meaning ‘to obey’ are also connected with the verb ‘to hear’.2 The first intention, therefore, is to present a taxonomy, i.e. a classification, of the human listening experience which can be taken up into a Christian sensibility.

  • 95 Heidegger and Meister Eckhart on Releasement REINER
    Heidegger and Meister Eckhart on Releasement REINER SCHÜRMANN Duquesne University Heidegger mentions Meister Eckhart occasionally in some of his writ- ings. However there is reason to presume that the proximity of the two _ thinkers is greater than it may appear. Indeed, Heidegger in private conversations emphasizes the authenticity of Meister Eckhart's experience of Being. In the history of the disclosure of Being (Lichtungsgeschichte des Seins), every thinker has to bear the charge of responding to an essential mittence (Geschick) that is always unique. A philosopher's thought is fateful due to the irrevocable event in which Being comes to presence. The desire to detect "influences" is therefore a misunderstanding about the advent of truth, the epochal a-letheia, itself. Thinking means precisely the remembrance of this destiny of Being for its own sake. In the metaphysical errancy Being is represented in terms of a sensuous or transcendent otherness, as the object of experience, or as the highest reason or foundation of what is in general. The ontologist may or may not oppose Being to the thinking subject; he will ordinarily not think of it as an accomplishment. Nevertheless, in spite of the dominating representation, the coming forth of Being as the presence of what is present has not been thoroughly forgotten. During a period in which Being has retired into a being among others, be it into the greatest, the remembrance of that which has to be thought occurs as a glimpse. In an otherwise "destitute time" (Holderlin), there may be voices that release an inner recalling and that intimate the withdrawal of Being.

  • The Heuristic Value of German Literature: the Eternal Plea for the Relevance of Medieval and Early Modern Literature from a Practical/Pedagogical Perspective
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by The University of Sydney: Sydney eScholarship Journals... The Heuristic Value of German Literature: The Eternal Plea for the Relevance of Medieval and Early Modern Literature from a Practical/Pedagogical Perspective Albrecht Classen Introduction1 The question of what the meaning of the Humanities might be for the current student generation continues to vex us all. We can all try to look backwards and explain the significance of past literary documents as being contributions to the canon of all literary studies. That would be the answer of an archivist. We can also try to understand literary texts from the pre- modern period as expressions of the overarching endeavor to make sense of human life, to figure out the meaning of human life, and to explain the purpose of our existence. At first look, this seems to be quite self-evident, but at a closer analysis we can realize how much both medieval and modern literary manifestations are simply waiting for us to gain deeper understanding of human interactions, conflicts, and cooperation. This article continues with previous efforts to make sense of medieval narratives and to demonstrate how much they can serve as literary expressions for the further explorations of human identity, ethics, morality, and religion. The central argument for the humanistic value of literature, as developed here, is predicated on practical experiences in teaching the history of German literature and has profited from numerous critical reflections on modern challenges to our discipline. The Relevance of the Humanities For a long time the very same question has occupied the Humanities most profoundly, and it is a question which will be raised over and over again in the future, irrespective of current answers and responses to the issue at 1 Albrecht Classen is Distinguished Professor of German Studies at the University of Arizona.

  • 702 and It Is Disheartening That the Institutum Historicum Societatis Iesu
    702 Book Reviews and it is disheartening that the Institutum Historicum Societatis Iesu cannot ensure for its readers (and its authors) a higher standard of comprehensibil- ity in an English-language publication. German is the original language of the work (in the form of a habilitation thesis) and a perfectly respectable interna- tional academic language. Sobiech should have left Jesuit Prison Ministry in it. All of this adds up to a study that is solidly researched and encyclopedically helpful, but also frustratingly hard to read. Scholars will most profitably turn to it as an overview of particular topics and a finder’s guide for source material related to their own research. The best future work on early modern carceral pastoral care, the life of Friedrich Spee, and his Cautio criminalis will undoubt- edly be built on foundations Sobiech lays here. Spee deserves a study on a par with Machielsen’s on Delrio; thanks to Sobiech, we are one step closer. David J. Collins, S.J.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE VIEWS AND REVIEWS Angelus Silesius, 1624-1677 A Bridge Between East and West? Frederick Franck Bottomless well from which all rises, grows, and boundless ocean back into which it flows. Angelus Silesius. While browsing in a second-hand bookshop in Copenhagen during a stop-over on a recent trip to Japan, I rediscovered a little book: “Der Cherubinische Wan- dersmann” (“The Cherubinic Wanderer”), by the 17th Century mystical poet Angelus Silesius, who lived in a century of religious conflict, of upheavals, wars and revolutions, almost as troubled as ours. I had last seen the book long ago as a medical student in my native Holland. It had then made an impression on me. Some stanzas I still recalled vaguely. I was God inside God Before I became Me I shall be God again Once from that Me set free. and: He who turns the senses to the Light that is his center, hears what no ear can hear, sees where no light can enter. 130 VIEWS AND REVIEWS That night in my Copenhagen hotel room Angelus Silesius’s verses opened up in their full and rather awesome profundity, these three hundred short, decept­ ively naive, mystical rhymes, written by a man who died three hundred years ago, in four days and nights of illumination—in direct confrontation with That which he addressed as God. While reading, it was as if the ancient Zen masters—for so many years my companions and friends—stood over me, whispering their own commentaries into my ear.

    Adyar Pamphlets The Religion of Goethe No. 38 The Religion of Goethe by Dr. F Otto Schrader Published in 1914 Theosophical Publishing House, Adyar, Chennai [Madras] India The Theosophist Office, Adyar, Madras. India FROM AN INDIAN POINT OF VIEW [Page 1] THE idea of dealing with Goethe's religious and philosophical views from an Indian standpoint — with the double object of bringing the greatest German nearer to the East and showing him from an unknown side — will very likely be found highly objectionable by most western literati. Goethe, the strong one, the apostle of action, the realist, the individualist, the ideal of perfect humanity — how can one dare to compare him with the dreamers of the Ganges ? But the writer of these lines has reached the conviction that the science of Indian religions — which is, in his opinion, the most complete religious measuring scale of the world [The same view is held by Prof. Harnack with regard to the science of Christianity, but his works show that he is wrong] — whenever applied (with necessary caution of course) to the profound thinkers of the West, will bring to light facts not to be found by any other method; and he indulges in the hope that the [Page 2] following essay [Which is an elaboration of a lecture or lectures I gave on various occasions.

  • Angelus Silesius' Cherubinischer Wandersmann. a Modem Reading with Selected Translations
    MARIA M. BaHM: Angelus Silesius' Cherubinischer Wandersmann. A Modem Reading with Selected Translations. - New York etc.: Peter Lang 1997 (= Renaissance and Baroque Studies and Texts. Vol. 22.) XVI. 174 pp. No other poet of the German Baroque has been translated into English as frequently as Angelus Silesius. This is not difficult to understand. Finding an equivalent for the alexandrine, unusual in English poetry except for the final line of the Spenserian stanza, and managing the compressed antithesis and chiasmus within the couplet are attractive challenges to poetic dexteri­ ty. One can pick and choose among the hundreds of epigrams, retaining only those the translator finds congenial. No one has come close to trans­ lating the entire Cherubinischer Wandersmann into English; Henri Plard produced a complete French version, but, as is common in French rende­ rings of German verse, in prose paraphrase. The mystical concepts and attitudes, though they may seem exotic when first encountered, are actually not too difficult once the principle is grasped, especially as they exhibit remarkable similarities across a wide range of epochs and cultures. Maria M. B6hm has translated 117 of the epigrams, accompanying them with a discursive commentary supported by numerous, sometimes chatty endnotes, and introduced with several chapters on the life and times of Johann Scheffler, the literary environment, themes, and formal aspects, along with an overview of mystical traditions - German, European, "Oriental," and contemporary. The choices are made to support a thesis: that the underlying meaning is not Christian or even religious, but pantheis­ tic and humanistic, and concerns the creation of the world and of God himself by man's intelligence, consciousness, wisdom, knowledge, and logos.

  • Without Why: Useless Plants in Daoism and Christianity
    religions Article Without Why: Useless Plants in Daoism and Christianity Sam Mickey Theology and Religious Studies, University of San Francisco, 2130 Fulton St., San Francisco, CA 94117, USA; [email protected] Received: 13 December 2018; Accepted: 18 January 2019; Published: 20 January 2019 Abstract: This article focuses on three examples of religious considerations of plants, with specific attention to the uselessness of plants. Drawing on Christian and Daoist sources, the examples include the following: (1) the lilies of the field described by Jesus in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke; (2) the useless tree of Zhuangzi; and (3) Martin Heidegger’s reading of a mystic poet influenced by Meister Eckhart, Angelus Silesius, for whom a rose blooms “without why,” which resonates with Heidegger’s deconstruction (Destruktion) of the history of metaphysics and his interpretation of uselessness in Zhuangzi. Each of those examples involves non-anthropocentric engagements with the uselessness of plants, which is not to say that they are completely free of the anthropocentrically scaled perspectives that assimilate uselessness into the logistics of agricultural societies. In contrast to ethical theories of the intrinsic value (biocentrism) or systemic value (ecocentrism) of plants, these Christian and Daoist perspectives converge with ecological deconstruction in suggesting that ethical encounters with plants emerge through attention to their uselessness. A viable response to planetary emergency can emerge with the radical passivity of effortless action, which is a careless care that finds solidarity with the carefree ways of plants. Keywords: contemplation; deconstruction; Meister Eckhart; Heidegger; Timothy Morton; passivity; Angelus Silesius; value; Zhuangzi What is it that I love when I love a plant? This question is a paraphrase of one of the many profound questions that Augustine of Hippo(1997) asks of himself in his Confessions: “What is it, then, that I love when I love my God?” (X 7.11).

    METAFORA PADA LIRIK-LIRIK LAGU DALAM ALBUM NO SOUND WITHOUT SILENCE KARYA THE SCRIPT JURNAL SKRIPSI Diajukan sebagai salah satu syarat Mencapai gelar Sarjana Sastra Oleh: DELSIUS GARING 100912050 SASTRA INGGRIS UNIVERSITAS SAM RATULANGI FAKULTAS ILMU BUDAYA MANADO 2016 1 ABSTRACT This research is entitled “Metaphor in the Song Lyrics of the Album No Sound without Silence by The Script”. There are two problems to answer in the analysis. First is what are the types of metaphor found in The Script songs No Sound without Silence album. The second one is what the meaning of the song lyrics in The Script Album No Sound without Silence. This study uses descriptive method. The data sources used in this study are the lyrics of the 12 songs by The Script on No Sound without Silence album. This study uses the theory of Leech (1984) and Lakoff and Johnson (1980). The result reveals that there are 40 metaphors found in the Album No Sound without Silence by The Script. It can be categorized into concretive metaphor, humanizing metaphor, animistic metaphor and synesthetic metaphor. Those metaphors are divided into 32 lines of concretive metaphor, 6 lines of humanizing metaphor, 1 line of animistic metaphor and 3 lines of synesthetic metaphor. Concretive metaphor is mostly used in this album. The songwriter uses the metaphor to add some elegance to the song. In addition the messages of each song were shown by the use of metaphor. In analyzing the meaning, Lakoff and Johnson‟s theory about target and source was used. Target refers to the idea or principal subject of metaphor while source refer to the thing that has been equalizer.
