Death and the Modern

Tim Bourke — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 20:29:05 -0600

It appears that death was much more a part of life in medieval times than it is for us at the moment in many parts of the world, and this for many obvious reasons such as medical advances and other desirable cultural improvements in such fields as law, culture and civilisation generally. Nevertheless, there may have been some advantages to being more familiar with death - for example, a common theme in medieval religious art was that of the "three corpses" - here is a modern description of part of a page from a medieval...more

A Solemn Festival of Knowledge

Tim Bourke — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 05:18:56 -0600

Bryn recently posted a comment that has started me thinking about the Philosophy of Freedom, freedom, spirituality and the Christian path:

I often wondered how Steiner made his leap from philosopher/clairvoyant/Nietschzean to full-on Christian, using only willed thinking as main instrument (ie no conversion experience) . Now I see that this, philosophical "knowledge over ego" insight as clarifying. I recall RS mentioning a "festival of Knowledge" (correct me if I'm mistaken in my memory) around this issue in his autobiography. I can see that If one were to be gifted with a very personified experience of the concept of knowledge it becomes highly plausable to shift philosophical thinking (willed) toward matters "Christ-ish".

Sacred Geometry and Christ - the Community of the Future

If you observe the physical body in this objective but more sensitive and subtle way, I'm sure you can arrive for yourself at many more relationships of geometrical figures to the human body.

Christ Willing - Feet, Walking and the Cosmic Will

Tim Bourke — Sat, 17 Nov 2007 13:02:45 -0700

Our feet are not something we normally pride ourselves on (unless perhaps we are a hobbit!) - we quite rightly feel they are lowly, humble things. But as an example of an extremity (quite literally) they may help us to learn something about the true nature of the human body.

Christ Thinking - Heaven, Earth and In Between

Tim Bourke — Fri, 09 Nov 2007 19:28:40 -0700

Nowadays our thinking is often very earthly in a literal sense. When we observe the stars, the planets, the clouds, the wind all around us, and try to understand them, sometimes all that comes to mind are the kind of dry concepts we learnt at high school.

Thinking the Resurrection Body

Tim Bourke — Sat, 03 Nov 2007 07:56:13 -0600

Through PoF, we may experience that the power and potential of what manifests itself in us as thinking has no limit, it is spirit, it is divine. But what follows from this? Is this simply a power which is totally separate from the human body, from what I inhabit from day to day, at least during my waking hours?

Thinking and the Harrowing of Hell

Tim Bourke — Thu, 01 Nov 2007 22:01:50 -0600

Through reading PoF, through studying anthroposophy and through many other paths we can experience a death and resurrection in our thinking, so that we can begin to experience not I but Christ in me in our thinking.

Pope says other churches not churches 'in proper sense'.

For the second time in four days Pope Benedict XVI has laid out a traditionalist marker in a document released yesterday proclaiming that the "one Church of Christ . . . subsists in the Catholic Church".
