“Myth is the isthmus which connects the peninsular world of thought with the vast continent we really belong to.” C.S. Lewis
Can’t sing the praises of the Temenos Academy too highly. Reading through #WilliamBlake’s Jerusalem, the Emanation of the Giant Albion with Susanne Sklar was tremendous.
Albion is saved as he enters the “Furnaces of affliction”. Welcome to the 21st century.
Wisdom traditions distinguish "evening knowledge", gained with experience and steadily developed enlightenment and so associated with age, and "morning knowledge", an upwelling of awareness often hindered by experience and so associated with youth. #Candlemas is its feast.
Four images that #Dante would, I think, press for a mystical #Christianity. 1. Mary as the archetype of humanity, bearing the divine. 2. Stars as a sign of guiding cosmic beauty. 3. Angels as living powers and intelligences. 4. The companionship of ascent & multiplicity of unity.
The Angel Michael Binding Satan by #WilliamBlake. There is struggle. It's real. But doesn't the fight look a bit yinyangish? Spiritual warfare is not a zero sum game. #Michaelmas
At the end of the day, it's always #AscensionDay for #Dante and #WilliamBlake.
