14th Sunday in the Kingdom of Heaven is Now.

(Please alert us if you don't see hyperlinks in your show notes!)

We discuss the power of home. Laura mentions "nous," a concept she's heard from Ilia Delio. Heavy stuff.

"Pierre Teilhard de Chardin saw the emergence of a new type of person with computer technology, an evolution of consciousness that led to a new level of cosmic life, what he called the “noosphere” (from the Greek “nous” or mind). The noosphere is the natural culmination of biological evolution, an organic whole, now on the level of thought, destined for some type of superconvergence and unification."

-- Ilia Delio.

Also the important concept of Inflation. (Jungian term).

[Inflation] should not be interpreted as … conscious self-aggrandizement. Such is far from being the rule. In general we are not directly conscious of this condition at all, but can at best infer its existence indirectly from the symptoms. These include the reactions of our immediate environment. Inflation magnifies the blind spot in the eye. [“The Self,” CW 9ii, par. 44.] -- from Daryl Sharp’s Jung Lexicon

Another mention of the book, The Gift, by Lewis Hyde

Marci talks about her use of different pronouns for God.

We reflect on what we learned during a recent talk from Ilia Delio.

We mention Teilhard de Chardin (as we often do) and the challenge of using words like “god” or “love."

We discuss Jung's concept of “eros” and “logos." And Edinger's thoughts on endurance.

We talk about individualism and faith, and the book The Gift and The Serviceberry.

"Christ, as a particular concrete manifestation of the Holy Spirit, must die in order for the disciples to develop an individual relation to the Holy Spirit, that is, the projection must be withdrawn. This is the 'very important step forward beyond Christocentrism.'"

--Edward Edinger quoting Carl Jung - from "The Christian Archetype"

We talk about the problem of “always looking up.” Laura mentions Jungian James Hillman

We talk about the the political and economic power of the church.

Laura and Marci swim in the deep waters of Hebrews and Atonement theory.

[There is a] . . . continued and progressive divine incarnation. Thus man is received and integrated into the divine drama. He seems destined to play a decisive part in it; that is why he must receive the Holy Spirit. I look upon the receiving ofthe Holy Spirit as a highly revolutionary fact which cannot take place until the ambivalent nature of the Father is recognized. -- Carl Jung

We talk about controversies in the early church and today.

Marci offers a great exercise for listening deeply to others.

We explore following literal laws of the church vs. the law of love.

We talk about Laura’s love of rocks and her gift of petoskey stones.

Marci recommends "Ordinary Mysticism :Your Life as Sacred Ground" By Mirabai Starr

"Christ, as a particular concrete manifestation of the Holy Spirit, must die in order for the disciples to develop an individual relation to the Holy Spirit, that is, the projection must be withdrawn. This is the"very important step forward beyond Christocentrism."

--Carl Jung

"The Spirit is destined to be incarnate in man or to choose him as a transitory dwelling-place. "Non habet nomen proprium," (he doesn’t have a proper name) says St. Thomas; because he will receive the name of man. That is why he must not be identified with Christ. We cannot receive the Holy Spirit unless we have accepted our own individual life as Christ accepted his. Thus we become the "sons of god" fated to experience the conflict of the divine opposites, represented by the crucifixion."

--Edward Edinger
