The Laughing Mystics: Jungian Psychology, Christian Spirituality, and Laughter

(92) Our question: When was a time when I was ripe for transformation? About CS Lewis novel Till We Have Faces ⁠Elisabeth Schüssler Fiorenza⁠'s book⁠ In Memory of Her: A Feminist Theological Reconstruction of Christian Origins⁠ (page 133) “Wisdom theology is inspired by a positive attempt to speak in the language of its own culture and to integrate elements of the ‘goddess cult’, especially Isis worship, into Jewish monotheism. As such it uses elements of goddess-language in order to speak of the gracious goodness of Israel's God. Divine Sophia is Israel's God in the language and gestalt of the goddess."

(91) Our Question: What's a time when my mind was blown? When a new paradigm, a new world emerged in me. Archetype of the Apocalypse Book by Edward F. Edinger "This is a profound coincidentia oppositorum—a union of opposites. To wash a garment in blood and have it come out white is a physical impossibility, but a psychological reality. Blood represents passion, the living libido, and the raw matter of suffering. By being completely immersed in the 'red' of the emotional ordeal, the unresisting ego achieves the 'white'—the albedo—which is the state of purified, objective consciousness." The Greek word for 'purifies'(hagnizei) implies a continuous action. Between me and God there is no between. This is a saying accredited to both Julian of Norwich and Meister Eckhart. "The poor in spirit: The thesis statement for the whole Beatitudes and entire Sermon, really, this recognizes that those who are aware of their spiritual poverty, their limitations, and dependence on others (and especially God!) are the fortunate ones, for this sensibility opens them up to the possibility of achieving spiritual wealth or wholeness." Matthew Root -- talking about Edward Edinger's look at the Beatitudes. Anishinaabemowin (Ojibwe /Potawatomi) a word that describes a deeply interconnected relationship across time rather than a strict linear timeline. [1],aanikoobijigan translates simultaneously to "great-grandparent" (ancestor) and "great-grandchild"(future child/generation).
