The Eighth Sermon to the Dead: Persons vs. Concepts
http://eighthsermon.blogspot.com/2015/07/persons-vs-concepts.html
The Eighth Sermon to the Dead. Wednesday, July 08, 2015. Persons vs. Concepts. Gnosticism has several different ways to approach our mythological figures. The Son of God can be approached as a preacher in Galilee, or a cosmic principle of The Word (Logos). Mary can be the mother of Jesus or the Mother of God, Queen of Heaven, Sophia, or even an embodiment of the Divine Feminine Principle. That's where the personification of these concepts comes in. The Logos as the person of Jesus is easier for peopl...

The Eighth Sermon to the Dead: Rain Magic
http://eighthsermon.blogspot.com/2015/07/rain-magic.html
The Eighth Sermon to the Dead. Friday, July 10, 2015. Here in the west, it's quite dry. There are a lot of fires. The drought in California has been going on for some time, and even in rainy Oregon we've had unseasonably early dry weather and low snow pack. Most of Oregon's water needs are met by snow melt water, so having a low snow pack is not a good situation. Which brings us to Rain Magic. So, if the choice is 'might rain' vs. 'might not rain', why can't magic tip us into the 'raining' column? Series...

The Eighth Sermon to the Dead: Sustainability
http://eighthsermon.blogspot.com/2015/06/sustainability.html
The Eighth Sermon to the Dead. Thursday, June 25, 2015. When embarking on a new endeavor, a good question to ask is "Is it sustainable? For instance: A diet, or an exercise program. You may start out all enthusiastic, but can you sustain the effort and care needed to succeed? Raising animals: Can you sustain the expense or effort required to take care of the animals? Vet bills, feed costs, etc? Ideals: Can you sustain the effort to protect your ideals, even in the face of stiff opposition? But all we've ...

http://eighthsermon.blogspot.com/2015/07/neighbors.html
The Eighth Sermon to the Dead. Monday, July 06, 2015. I've now officially met more neighbors in my country house than I ever did living in the city. There's the YardGuy* and his lovely wife, the Conversationalist. They live up the hill from us, and are delightful people. The Conversationalist gave Paddy a number of lovely plants, which are now merrily growing in our cottage garden. All names are changed to protect the innocent. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The Eighth Sermon to the Dead. Wednesday, June 24, 2015. Change always comes with a cost. In our case, changing our residence comes with a disruption of the bills. The immediate needs came first, and now that the dust from the move is settling, some of the more recurring bills are coming to rest, as are some of the realities of owning your own home. Have you set sail on the journey? Do you need a safe harbor, a bit of peace? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. 40 days of LBRP.

The Eighth Sermon to the Dead: Immortality
http://eighthsermon.blogspot.com/2015/06/immortality.html
The Eighth Sermon to the Dead. Tuesday, June 30, 2015. Two fates bear me on to the day of death. If I hold out here and I lay siege to Troy. My journey home is gone, but my glory never dies. If I voyage back to the fatherland I love,. My pride, my glory dies. True, but the life that's left me will be long,. The stroke of death will not come on me quickly.". Achilles on his death in The Illiad, Book 9, 499-505. Some legends are told. Some turn to dust or to gold. But you will remember me. And yet, we will.
