When a skeptical professor steps into the mind of a former student's fiancée, he discovers a surreal landscape shaped by vanity, obsession, and alarming emptiness. A sharp and unsettling exploration of how our inner worlds reveal far more than we intend. The Shoddy Lands by C. S. Lewis. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Clive Staples Lewis, one of the most influential writers of the 20th century, was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland, in 1898. In 1917, during the height of World War I, he enlisted in the British Army and was wounded in combat less than a year later.Though best known for his beloved children's series, The Chronicles of Narnia—seven books published throughout the 1950s—Lewis also made a lasting mark with The Screwtape Letters in the 1940s, and his philosophical sci-fi epic, The Space Trilogy, written in the 1930s and '40s.While he authored more than 30 books in his lifetime, Lewis rarely ventured into short fiction. Today's featured tale marks a special occasion: his first story published in an American fantasy and science fiction magazine. From the February 1956 issue of Fantasy and Science Fiction, beginning on page 68, The Shoddy Lands by C. S. Lewis.…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, A brief tale of the dismal success of a scientist's experiment.

Piše Muanis Sinanović, bere Igor Velše. Rok Vilčnik je eden najpomembnejših mariborskih besednih ustvarjalcev z raznolikim opusom. Prav posebno mesto v sodobni literarni produkciji na slovenskem ima njegov najnovejši roman Mehanizem. Gre za romaneskno pravljico, ki je primerna tako za otroke kot za odrasle. Vsebuje namreč zelo bogato alegorično vsebino, podano prek razvejanega domišljijskega sveta. Zgodba govori o dveh igračah, Titini in Titinu, ki se prebudita v škatli. Titinin ključ za navijanje je zlomljen, zato morata čimprej poiskati nekoga, ki ga bo popravil. Znajdeta se v svetu teme, ki ga upravlja Mož brez sence, pomaga pa mu vojska rogačev. Pripoved ima klasično strukturo pustolovščine. Kratka poglavja gradijo intenzivne dogodivščine s tipičnimi nenadnimi obrati. Na formalni ravni Vilčnikovo delo sledi preizkušenim obrtniškim prijemom. Jezik je jasen in discipliniran. V tem pogledu pripoved spominja na najuspešnejše ameriške animirane filme. Naslednja asociacija so umetniške videoigre neodvisnih razvijalcev, ki svojim umetninam vdahnejo unikaten domišljijski pečat. Zdi se, da je vsako poglavje kot misija, ki nas vodi do končnega soočenja z nepredvidljivim obratom. Razvijalci gotovo ne bi zgrešili, če bi roman Mehanizem prevedli v obliko videoigre. Na notranji, vsebinski ravni, pa se Vilčnik, ki v delo gotovo vnaša tudi občutje lutkarskega sveta in lutkovnih iger, s katerimi ima prav tako izkušnje, dotika pravprašanj o izvoru pomena in sreče, razmerij med egoizmom in tovarištvom, ljubeznijo in sovraštvom ter tudi kozmologije. V sodobnem svetu ima akademsko etablirana književnost, predvsem romani, vlogo umeščanja individualiziranega subjekta v izgubljeno celoto in celostnost. Nasprotno pa skuša fantazijska književnost, ki sta jo etablirala univerzitetna kolega John Ronald Reuel Tolkien in Clive Staples Lewis, ustvarjati oziroma domišljijsko poustvarjati svetove, ki so celostni in zaceljeni, od katerih posameznik ni ločen, temveč je njihov organski del. Prav v tak svet sta umeščena in ga odkrivata Titina in Titin, pri tema pa segata tudi po metafiziki. Vendar ne gre za zapleteno filozofsko govorico, temveč za »filozofijo«, kakršno poznajo otroci, preden povsem ponotranjijo postulate sodobnega sveta. Ta svet je tudi umetno zarezal črto med odraslimi in otroki, ki implicira, da otroci živijo v fantazijah, odrasli pa dojemajo svet takšen, kakršen je. To je filozofsko gledano seveda naivna predpostavka, knjige, kot je Vilčnikova, ki nas znova postavijo v otroško perspektivo in jo povežejo z našim odraslim jazom, pa omogočajo, da to občutimo na najgloblji ravni. Dogodivščine in dileme Titnia in Titine so namreč podane iz neke, recimo, nepokvarjene perspektive, ki pa se še vedno nahaja v nas, le da smo jo prekrili s plastmi cinizma in obrambnih mehanizmov. S tega vidika nam lahko pravljice včasih dajo več kot romani, Vilčnikovo delo pa je skoraj idealen spoj obojega. Zgodba je zelo privlačna in bralca zlahka posrka. Obenem je polna zdravilne toplote in nežnosti, pri čemer se, kar je pomembno za kvaliteto dela, ne izogiba eksistencialni tesnobi ob soočanju s končnostjo in zlom. Pri tem pa ne gre v nasprotno skrajnost, kot je značilno za nekatere sodobne pristope k fantazijskemu pisanju, in se ne spušča v nikakršno eksploatacijo groze, seksualnosti, nasilja in podobno. Kot rečeno, roman je v celoti primeren za otroke. Vilčnik načeloma uspešno, vendar ne nujno povsem, vzpostavlja različne ravni resničnosti, ki spominjajo na predmoderne religiozne metafizike in neoplatonistično filozofijo. Mešajo se tudi časi, sanje in resničnost, praspomini in trenutni doživljaji. To prinaša delu dodatno, mestoma osupljivo dimenzijo, vendar so prehodi občasno morda preveč zapleteni ali prehitri, zgoščeni pa so v zaključku zgodbe, kar nekoliko otežuje dojemanje. Kljub temu pa je zaključek izjemno pomenljiv in to ne kvari končnega vtisa o tej skrivnostni knjigi, ki nas strese iz banalnega vsakdana, nas angažira in popelje v bujne nadrazumske svetove, ki jih ne bomo zlahka pozabili.
D. Emilio Domínguez Díaz, doctor en Humanidades y Filología Inglesa y autor de varios libros, nos acerca a la figura de Clive Staples Lewis, el conocido autor de las Crónicas de Narnia y Cartas del diablo a su sobrino. Nació en Belfast, Irlanda del Norte, en 1898, y fue bautizado en la Iglesia de Irlanda, de confesión protestante. Después de un periodo de lejanía del cristianismo, volvió a practicar su fe, influenciado por J. R. R. Tolkien y otros amigos católicos. Con ellos forma el grupo de los «Inklings», que se reunían semanalmente para hablar de literatura y de las obras que estaban escribiendo.

“My idea of God is not a Divine Idea. It has to be shattered time after time. God shatters it Godself. God is the great iconoclast. Could we not almost say that this shattering is one of the marks of God's presence?” - Clive Staples Lewis
During the summer break, the 15-Minute History podcast team are republishing some of their favorite episodes. This episode and discussion on C.S. Lewis originally aired on January 17, 2022. ___ Three men walked along a tree-covered path in the early hours of a Sunday morning. Their conversation mixed with the sound of water flowing over rocks in a small river and the crunch of leaves beneath their booted feet. The words they spoke were steeped in deep knowledge of literature and philosophy as they wrestled with the nature of the universe and man's place in it. The two Englishmen believed that God had created the world and sent His Son to die for mankind's sins, while their Irish friend was a skeptic who did not believe in anything beyond this life. Then, as their talk turned to myths and the great stories of humanity's past, a strong autumn wind came up suddenly and sent leaves scattering across the path. The sheer power of the gust filled their hearts with wonder, and they stopped and stood in its midst, as one of them put it, “appreciating the ecstasy of such a moment.” ___ Join us as we teach you about Clive Staples Lewis, his life, his writing, and his lasting legacy. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/15minutehistory/support

When she died in his early youth her influence waned & Lewis was subject to the musings & mutterings of his friends who were decidedly agnostic & atheistic. It would not be until later, in a moment of clear rationality that he first came to a belief in God and later became a Christian. Lewis volunteered for the army in 1917 & was wounded in the trenches in World War I. After the war, he attended university at Oxford. He joined the faculty of Magdalen College.

Aujourd'hui nous parlons de Clive Staples Lewis, un auteur de Fantasy du 20ème siècle qui a écrit Le monde de Narnia. Qui était C. S. Lewis ? Réponse dans cet épisode de La Petite Histoire.
Clive Staples Lewis (1898–1963) was one of the intellectual giants of the twentieth century and arguably one of the most influential writers of his day. He was a Fellow and Tutor in English Literature at Oxford University until 1954, when he was unanimously elected to the Chair of Medieval and Renaissance Literature at Cambridge University, a position he held until his retirement.Lewis wrote more than thirty books, allowing him to reach a vast audience, and his works continue to attract thousands of new readers every year. C. S. Lewis's most distinguished and popular accomplishments include Mere Christianity, Out of the Silent Planet, The Great Divorce, The Screwtape Letters, and the universally acknowledged classics in The Chronicles of Narnia. To date, the Narnia books have sold over 100 million copies and been transformed into three major motion pictures.-bio via Harper Collins Get full access to The Daily Poem Podcast at dailypoempod.substack.com/subscribe
It's a mystery how these letters came into our hands, yet we cannot but share them with the world - to warn you. Screwtape has returned...Could the relentless pursuit of material wealth be overshadowing the spiritual heart of our holiday traditions? Explore this question and journey beyond the tinsel with us as Cloud of Witnesses Productions examines the intersection of Christmas's sacred roots and the pervasive forces of consumerism. Our latest episode peels back the layers of festivity to reveal the profound narrative of sacredness meeting the temporal, confronting the entities that thrive on excess and distraction. We're not just talking about the holiday season; we're probing the existential battle that lurks beneath the surface.This isn't your average holiday conversation. We're going in deep, discussing the tension between ecclesiastical values and the corrupting strategies that seek to divert the true essence and purpose of the season. Delve into a thought-provoking reflection on how we can preserve the sanctity of community and the spiritual integrity at the heart of our celebrations. Join us for a riveting dialogue that promises to challenge the way you think about the most wonderful time of the year, with insights that could reshape the way we approach the spirit of giving and receiving.Listen at your own risk.My dear leisurely Wormwood,Think not that our dire situation that has occasioned your re-recruitment has ended… If anything, we must work all the more for it is the despicable Christmas season.Excess materialism and obsession with gifts, which we've fostered endlessly through our social media efforts, our devoted “influencers”, and our diabolical algorithms which spoon feed temptation 24/7, paired with a dash of gluttony and avarice, are the chief and preferred means to invert the true meaning and purpose of these Holidays. The true heart of this Season, my dear nephew—the very core of its spirit, which truly threatens the successes of our operations, is not so much the generous gestures of gift-giving, or even the warm and fuzzy embraces motivated by love and togetherness (however abominable they might be to us). These are but simple and prosaic tokens which exist merely around the true core and heart of these Holidays, as much as the Divine Operations of the Enemy whilst not identical to His very Essence, are still inseparably around the same Divine Essence from which flow all the Divine Goodnesses that the dust-made animals experience.No. Bah Humbug! Thank you for journeying w/ the Saints with us!
Ruth Jackson hosts this special edition of Premier Unbelievable? with Oxford scholar and C. S Lewis expert Dr. Alister McGrath. Lewis - Jack to his friends - was a 20th Century British writer and lay theologian who is arguably one of the most influential voices in modern Christianity. On November 22nd 1963, Clive Staples Lewis died in Oxford, England. Ten years ago, McGrath's definitive biography C.S.Lewis A Life - Eccentric Genius Reluctant Prophet was published giving readers a glimpse of McGrath's extensive research and a thorough chronological examination of Lewis' correspondence and archival materials to present a new picture of Lewis's life. The book paints a portrait of an eccentric thinker who became a compelling, though reluctant, prophet for our times. Writing in the London Telegraph, Philip Womach described Dr. McGrath as a clear-eyed, and learned companion in exploring Lewis the man, and described his analysis of the Narnia books is illuminating. Dr. McGrath continues to share his insights on Lewis weekly in The C.S. Lewis Podcast hosted by Ruth Jackson. 60 years after his death, Ruth Jackson puts a variety of listener's questions to Dr. McGrath including is there an expiry date on C.S. Lewis' relevance sixty years after his death? • Subscribe to the Unbelievable? podcast: https://pod.link/267142101 • More shows, free eBook & newsletter: https://premierunbelievable.com • For live events: http://www.unbelievable.live • For online learning: https://www.premierunbelievable.com/training • Support us in the USA: http://www.premierinsight.org/unbelievableshow • Support us in the rest of the world: https://www.premierunbelievable.com/donate

Clive Staples Lewis was successful. A British writer and theologian, his work has become very famous. When Lewis wrote his classic “Surprised by Joy,” he was emphasizing the fact that true joy comes from a place we cannot create, but only claim and receive. His story really brings a point to our weeklong series about asking the Lord for help when we are at the end of our rope. John 16:24 says, “Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete.” In ‘Surprised by Joy,' Lewis compares joy to a signpost in a deep wood, pointing us to safety. Lewis was an intellectual and well known as an atheist, until he reached a point where life had no real meaning. He realized—not too late—that it isn't weakness to reach out to God. If you're in a deep wood and can't find your way out—if the sun is setting—stop and ask Jesus for the thing you need the most. Think about the implications of the psalm: He is telling you that you will receive what you asked for; it's already done! Lewis thought of himself as a “complete man” once he found the Lord. The same thing can happen for you. Let's pray. Father God, life has ups and downs, and you know that. God, we need you to be there for us, with us, all the way. In Jesus' name, amen.
1963 - Moriría también ese año Clive Staples Lewis, el queridísimo escritor británico, más conocido como CS Lewis, por clásicos de la literatura como “Las crónicas de Narnia”. Se abrió una especie de buzón infinito entre el autor y los cientos, luego miles de niños y niñas que querían comentarle algo sobre el libro que era ahora su favorito. Quizá con quien mantuvo más largamente correspondencia fue con Joan, hasta sus últimos días. Un espacio de Bárbara Espejo.
Paolo Gulisano"Clive Staples Lewis"Nella terra delle ombreEdizioni Areswww.edizioniares.it“C.S. Lewis è per lo più conosciuto come l'autore di un mondo fantastico che ha affascinato l'immaginazione di milioni di lettori. Ma il mondo di Lewis si estende ben oltre i confini di Narnia, sia in ampiezza sia in profondità: aprire questo libro è dunque come per i fratelli Pevensie entrare nell'armadio e inoltrarsi in un viaggio inaspettato, che rivelerà nuove viste e nuovi orizzonti, alla scoperta dell'umanità di un grande scrittore».Dalla Prefazione di Giuseppe PezziniClive Staples Lewis (1898-1963) è stato uno dei più originali intellettuali britannici del Novecento. Docente a Oxford e Cambridge, è autore di capolavori della Letteratura fantasy come Le Cronache di Narnia, ma anche di apologetica cristiana, con Le Lettere di Berlicche o L'abolizione dell'uomo. Come testimonia con ampiezza di riferimenti e profondità di analisi questo invito alla lettura, l'impegno che Lewis si era preso con la vita fu di amarla appassionatamente, con lo stupore di chi si trova di fronte qualcosa di meraviglioso, unico, divino, e di essere estremamente serio con essa. Una serietà che Lewis definiva anche col termine di “solennità” e che si accompagnò con la leggerezza della gioia.Paolo Gulisano è nato a Milano nel 1959. È medico, cultore di storia della Medicina e saggista. Ha pubblicato nel 2002 la prima monografia italiana su Chesterton: Chesterton e Belloc: apologia e profezia ed è fondatore e vicepresidente della Società Chestertoniana Italiana. È considerato uno dei maggiori esperti di J.R.R. Tolkien a cui ha dedicato: La mappa della Terra di Mezzo, La mappa del Silmarillon, La mappa dello Hobbit, Tolkien il mito e la grazia, Gli eroi de Il Signore degli Anelli. Si è occupato inoltre del beato John Henry Newman e di san Tommaso Moro con il volume Un uomo per tutte le utopie. L'eredità di san Tommaso Moro. Per Ares ha scritto Chesterton.

Heute ist der 22. November 2023 und damit der 60. Todestag von C. S. Lewis. Am 29. November ist sein 125. Geburtstag. Zwei Gründe also, um sein Jubiläum zu feiern und seines Lebens wie auch seines Werkes zu gedenken. Clive Staples Lewis war Schriftsteller und Literaturwissenschaftler und Professor für Englische Literatur an der University of Cambridge. Er hat bekannte Fantasygeschichten wie etwa "Die Chroniken von Narnia" geschrieben, aber auch zahlreiche wissenschaftliche Bücher, in denen er sich u.a. mit Themen des Menschseins, anderen Wissenschaften oder der Frage nach dem Leid auseinandergesetzt hat. In dieser Folge geht es um seinen langen Weg zum Glauben und seine kritische Auseinandersetzung damit. Es geht um seine Liebe zu Fantasy, die schon früh begonnen hat. Um seine Familie, den frühen Tod seiner Mutter, seine ersten Erfahrungen von "Joy" und was sich dahinter verbirgt. C.S. Lewis Weg zum Glauben an einen persönlichen Gott verlief vom Atheismus zum Pantheismus, schließlich zum Theismus und dann zum christlichen Glauben. Dabei vollzog sich seine Auseinandersetzung mit dem Glauben sowohl auf rationaler Ebene als auch auf Ebene der Erfahrung. Damit haben seine Werke bis heute bleibende Bedeutung. Im Interview ist Dr. Nobert Feinendegen. Er hat Physik, Philosophie und Theologie in Aachen und Bonn studiert und eine Promotion in systematischer Theologie mit dem Titel «Denk-Weg zu Christus. C. S. Lewis als kritischer Denker der Moderne» geschrieben. Er ist langjähriges Vorstandsmitglied der deutschen Inklings-Gesellschaft, Mitherausgeber unveröffentlichter Schriften aus C. S. Lewis' vor-christlichen Jahren. Er ist Autor des Buches "Überrascht von Gott", in dem Lewis Weg zum Glauben beschrieben wird und damit ein wahrer Experte was C. S. Lewis angeht.

Hoy Harper Collins presenta un libro que compila la famosa serie de libros de fantasía, destacando la trama, los personajes y los temas que se desarrollan a lo largo de los siete libros. Nos habló de la influencia de la obra en la literatura y la cultura popular, así como su relación con las creencias cristianas de C.S. Lewis, que se reflejan en la obra de manera sutil pero significativa.

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ www.filmgarantiti.it/it/articoli.php?id=475LE LETTERE DI BERLICCHE: IL MANUALE PER SMASCHERARE IL DIAVOLO di Giovanni FigheraNato a Belfast nel 1898 e morto ad Oxford nel 1963, professore universitario e scrittore, Clive Staples Lewis è noto al grande pubblico principalmente per le Cronache di Narnia, una delle saghe per l'infanzia più venduta di sempre, pubblicata tra il 1950 e il 1956 in sette tomi. La notorietà di Lewis assume, però, dimensioni internazionali già una decina di anni prima, grazie alla pubblicazione de Le lettere di Berlicche, opera davvero geniale.Lewis inventa l'espediente di un colloquio epistolare tra demoni, lo zio Berlicche e il nipote Malacoda. Lo zio vuole educare il nipote a tentare gli umani, gli insegna i trucchi e l'arte segreta del mestiere, le vie subdole per indirizzare l'uomo sulla via del male, distogliendolo lentamente dalla strada della verità. Oltre che apprezzabile per arguzia e ironia, l'opera appare come un'utilissima palestra per allenarsi a riconoscere la tentazione. Nella quotidianità facciamo costantemente esperienza di come spesso ci si presentino scelte non buone e maliziose sotto l'apparenza del bene e dell'innocenza. Il male che si nasconde sotto le parvenze del bene si chiama tentazione.DUE ERRORI UGUALI E OPPOSTINel Padre nostro noi chiediamo a Dio di tenerci lontano dalla tentazione ovvero di farcela riconoscere come tale e, quindi, di togliere la patina mendace che ricopre il male e ci impedisce di riconoscerlo come tale. Lewis evidenzia già fin dall'inizio che «vi sono due errori, uguali e opposti, nei quali la nostra razza può cadere nei riguardi dei diavoli. Uno è il non credere alla loro esistenza. L'altro di credervi e di sentire per essi un interesse eccessivo e non sano. I diavoli sono contenti d'ambedue gli errori e salutano con la stessa gioia il materialista e il mago»..Percorrendo le pagine in cui lo zio tenta di educare il nipote a corrompere l'uomo, scopriamo che il diavolo vuole allontanare gli esseri umani dal gusto di vivere portandolo a denigrare la dimensione allegra della vita e il riso. Anche trascurare i piaceri veri, quelli che davvero hanno a che fare con la persona in nome dei piaceri che vanno più di moda, è un espediente adottato dal diavolo perché l'uomo non vada verso Dio, dal momento che l'uomo è portato verso Dio proprio dalle sue vere passioni e dai suoi talenti. Scrive lo zio diavolo Berlicche al nipote Malacoda: «Come non sei riuscito a capire che un piacere vero era l'ultima cosa che non avresti dovuto lasciargli incontrare? Come non hai previsto che avrebbe proprio annientato tutto l'inganno che tanto laboriosamente gli hai insegnato a valutare? E che quel genere di piacere che il libro e la passeggiata gli davano era il più pericoloso di tutti? Che gli avrebbe tolto tutta quella specie di crosta che eri riuscito a formargli sulla sua sensibilità, e fatto sentire che stava tornando a casa, che stava guarendo?».SPRONATO DALLO ZIOQuest'uomo, che è chiamato dal diavolo con l'espressione "verme" o "piccolo bruto", non deve pensare a se stesso, deve essere distratto da ciò che ha più a cuore, dai suoi interessi in una sorta di divertissement o distrazione che lo allontana da sé, dalla realtà e da Dio. Malgrado i suggerimenti dell'esperto zio, il paziente di Malacoda diventa cristiano. Anche allora lo si può tentare utilmente facendogli pensare di avere la grazia per sempre e che essa non vada, invece, chiesta giorno per giorno, istante per istante, facendogli desiderare un'umiltà intesa non come dipendenza da Dio e dal Mistero, bensì come sottovalutazione e disprezzo dei propri talenti e delle proprie capacità.Malacoda sarà di volta in volta spronato dallo zio a tentare il paziente con il desiderio di vivere nella prospettiva del futuro, slegato dal presente e dall'eternità, con la dimenticanza della propria precarietà e della propria miseria. Scrive Berlicche: «Gli esseri umani vivono nel tempo, ma il nostro Nemico (Dio) li destina all'eternità. Perciò, credo, Egli desidera che essi si occupino principalmente di due cose: della eternità stessa, e di quel punto del tempo che essi chiamano il presente. Il presente è infatti il punto nel quale il tempo tocca l'eternità. Del momento presente, e soltanto di esso, gli esseri umani hanno un'esperienza analoga all'esperienza che il nostro nemico ha della realtà intera; soltanto in esso viene loro offerta la libertà e la realtà».A questo punto si potrà tentare il nuovo convertito inducendolo a non voler essere «unicamente cristiano», ma a perseguire «il cristianesimo e la crisi, il cristianesimo e la nuova psicologia, il cristianesimo e l'ordine nuovo, il cristianesimo e la ricerca psichica, il cristianesimo e il vegetarianesimo». Al proposito lo zio scrive ancora a Malacoda: «Se devono essere cristiani siano almeno cristiani con una differenza. Sostituisci alla fede qualche moda con una tinta cristiana». Questa è una riduzione del cristianesimo che lo stempera e, al contempo, ne annienta la potente forza rivoluzionaria in nome delle buone, accettabili e comprensibili mode del momento. Nell'ottica mondana e nella prospettiva dei due demoni del romanzo ciò che è incomprensibile è che si possa seguire un Altro per guadagnare completamente se stessi, che si possa davvero amare un altro in maniera disinteressata (ci deve pur essere un secondo fine nell'amore di Dio, nel cosiddetto amore disinteressato).MANUALE TASCABILE PER RICONOSCERE LA TENTAZIONEIl lettore trova piacere nel leggere quello che io definirei come un "manuale tascabile per riconoscere il pensiero del mondo e la tentazione". Qual è la fine del paziente e dell'inesperto diavolo Malacoda? Riesce lo zio Berlicche ad istruire il nipote sulle modalità migliori per tentare gli umani? Dall'ultima lettera scopriamo che il paziente, morto durante un bombardamento, viene salvato e va in Paradiso. Il povero Malacoda andrà incontro a un destino terribile che si coglie nelle parole che lo zio gli indirizza nell'ultima lettera: «Mio caro, mio carissimo Malacoda, mio pupattolo, mio gattino, ti sbagli di grosso venendo piagnucoloso, ora che tutto è perduto, a chiedermi se i termini affettuosi che io ti indirizzavo non significavano nulla fin dall'inizio. Tutt'altro! Sta' sicuro che il mio amore per te e il tuo amore per me sono simili come due piselli. Io ho sempre sentito un grande desiderio di te, come tu (sciocco, degno di compassione) hai desiderato me. La differenza consiste nel fatto che io sono il più forte. Penso che ora ti daranno a me; o mi daranno un pezzettino di te. Amarti? Ma sì! Non mi sono mai cibato di un bocconcino più squisito. Ti sei lasciato sfuggire dalle dita un'anima. L'urlo della fame resa più acuta per quella perdita riecheggia in questo momento per tutti i gironi nel regno del rumore giù giù fino al trono».Berlicche riconosce che alla fine, una volta entrato in Paradiso, il paziente ha visto tutto chiaramente,senza alcuna incrostazione e dubbio: «Questo animale, questa cosa generata in un letto, poté posare il suo sguardo su di Lui. Ciò che per noi è fuoco accecante, soffocante, è per lui luce rinfrescante, è la stessa chiarità, e porta le forme d'un Uomo».

In this excerpt from their December 9 book club recap episode, the Ladies announce their next pick for the Lutheran Ladies' Book Club: Joel Heck's From Atheism to Christianity: The Story of C. S. Lewis From the publisher: This is the story of how one of the world's most famous atheists became one of its most famous Christians. From Atheism to Christianity: The Story of C. S. Lewis is the spiritual homecoming story of Clive Staples Lewis, a careful and thoughtful scholar who spent fifteen years journeying the long road from atheism to theism and, eventually, to Christianity. Drawing from Lewis's own writings, as well as those he sought out during his quest for spiritual understanding, From Atheism to Christianity highlights the longing, reluctance, searching, and surrender that defined these years of Lewis's life and provides answers to the questions that surround this profound character: What attracted Lewis to atheism and eventually Christianity? How did he leave atheism behind? Why did his journey take fifteen years? Who influenced his thought during those years? What authors did he read, and whom did he interact with and confide in? Explore the most tumultuous and defining years of C. S. Lewis's life, gathering clues that reveal the meaning of life for contemporary atheists and theists—all from the perspective of one who knew both atheism and Christianity from the inside.

Summary: In this episode, we focus on how unresolved trauma undermines and sabotages both our capacity and our inclination to love well. We explore how unresolved trauma impacts each of the five characteristics of love -- compromising our ability to love in an affective (emotional), affirming, responsive, unitive and steadfast way. We also dive into how so trauma pulls us to focus inward, and to protect ourselves, undercutting the vulnerability and willingness to engage that are required for deep love and we discuss hope for change. Lead-in They say love is blind, but it's trauma that's blind. Love sees what is.“ — Neil Strauss, The Truth: An Uncomfortable Book About Relationships And Neil Strauss is right on that. Love connects with reality. With God who is the ultimate realness, the ultimate being, the I AM. Trauma is blind and it blinds us. That's what we are talking about today.

Part of loving them. Episode 89 Your Trauma, Your Body: Protection vs. Connection -- a current understanding of how large a role our bodies have in our experience of trauma. Our bodies. Episode 90: Your Well-Being: The Secular Experts Speak we review how philosophers and modern secular psychologists understand mental health and well-being. In this episode, we look at the attempts to define what make us happy, from the 4th century BC to the present day. Aristippus, Aristotle, Descartes, Freud, Seligman, Porges, Schwartz, and two diagnostic systems. We take a special look at how positive psychology and Internal Family Systems see well-being. Episode 92: Understanding and Healing your Mind through IPNB neuropsychiatrist Dr. Dan Siegel's Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB) and what IPNB can show us about psychological health. We review the triangle of well-being, the nature of secure attachments, and the basis for mental health from an IPNB perspective. We examine the characteristics of a healthy mind and how it functions, and the two signs that reliable indicate all psychological symptoms and mental dysfunction. We discuss the nine domains of integration Three inner experiential exercises in Episode 93 Episode 94: The Primacy of Love In this episode, I discuss the central importance of love as the marker of well-being from a Catholic perspective -- our capacity to live out the two great commandments. We explore how love is the distinguishing characteristics of Christians, and we discussed Catholic theologian Bernard Brady's five attributes or characteristics of love -- how love is affective, affirming, responsive, unitive and steadfast. We discuss what is commonly missing from philosophical and theological approaches to love, and we briefly touch in the death of love and distortions of love. So check those out if you haven't already. This Going to address love in general -- focusing on loving In future episodes, will review Tolerating being loved Brady quxote Ordered self-love The experience of trauma screws up our loves -- where we go to find good. It screws up where we are seeking, how we seek to be loved and how we seek to love. St. Augustine: He lives in justice and sanctity who is an unprejudiced assessor of the intrinsic value of things. He is a man who has an ordinate love: he neither loves what should not be loved nor fails to love what should be loved. On Christina Doctrine, I, 27 We need ordered love. Why -- Bernard Brady put it -- Because we become like what we love. Whatever we embrace in our love, we become like that person or that thing. As Augustine considered the dissipation of this youth, he wrote "I loved beautiful things of a lower order, and I was going down to the depths." Confessions. So much of the problem with disordered love comes from misdirected seeking to get your attachment needs meet. That's the problem. We have legitimate attachment needs Trauma strips away our sense of A felt sense of Safety and security Feeling seen, heard, known and understood Feeling comforted, soothed, reassured Feeling cherished, treasured, delighted in Feel the other person wills my highest good. All from Brown and Elliott 2016, Attachment disturbances in Adults Where do we find our safety and security? In both the natural and spiritual realms, we find it in attachment security needs being met. Five primary attachment security needs (Brown and Elliott) A felt sense of safety and protection, a deep sense of security, felt in my bones It makes it so much easier to love when we feel safe and secure. "People want to be safe, and comfortable. If safety and comfort is to be found in guns, then they will take up guns—of their own accord, in their own need. And when safety and comfort are found in libraries, then the guns rust.“ — Algis Budrys American writer Source: Some Will Not Die (1961), Chapter 6 (p. 122) Feeling seen, heard, known, and understood I want, by understanding myself, to understand others.“ — Katherine Mansfield New Zealand author 1888 - 1923 Being comforted, soothed, and reassured Feeling valued, cherished, treasured, delighted in You are my sunshine published by Jimmie Davis and Charles Mitchell on January 30, 1940 You are my sunshineMy only sunshineYou make me happyWhen skies are grayYou'll never know, dearHow much I love youPlease don't take my sunshine away Feeling that the other person wills my highest good, the best for me We have to turn inward to find the road to God. Etienne Gilson explained Augustine's approach to God as "a path leading from the exterior to the interior and from the interior to the superior." Gilson, The Christian Philosophy of St. Augustine p. 20 Charles Taylor: Sources of the Self: By going inward, I am drawn upward. The Making of Modern Identity 134 Turning inward is the route to God, not God. Brady, 120 Often resisted by Catholics as being selfish.

(1) God affirms us; (2) God receives a; (3) we accept God's love; (4) we affirm God; (5) God forms community with us; (6) we cooperate with God in loving God in the world; and finally (7) we grow in a limited code responsibility with God. p.. 177 1 John 4:19 We love, because he first loved us. Last episode -- Bernard Brady's description of the five characteristics of Love Christian Love: How Christians through the Ages have Understood Love.-- drawing heavily from the work of phenomenologists Jules Toner and Margaret Farley Love is affective, affirming, responsive, unitive and steadfast. (repeat) Five characteristics. Five aspects. Repeat. We described and discussed these at length in the last episode, episode 94 of the IIC podcast, The Primacy of Love We will briefly review each of them And then discuss how trauma impacts each of them, bringing in the effects or the sequelae of trauma from Episode 88 -- Trauma: Defining and Understanding the Experience. Love is affective Love is an emotion Love is a movement from your heart, your soul -- a movement from the innermost depths of your being. From your core self. St. Thomas Aquinas in the Summa: Consequently the freezing or hardening of the heart is a disposition incompatible with love: while melting denotes a softening of the heart, whereby the heart shows itself to be ready for the entrance of the beloved.“ Love rejoices in the beloved Love rejoices in the beloved -- Protestant Theologian R.H. Neibuhr writes in his 1977 book the Purpose of the Church and Its Ministry: By love, we mean at least these attitudes and actions: rejoicing in the presence of the beloved, gratitude, reverence, and loyalty toward him. p.35 „After a traumatic experience, the human system of self-preservation seems to go onto permanent alert, as if the danger might return at any moment.“ Judith Herman Brené Brown US writer and professor 1965 Source: The Gifts of Imperfection: Let Go of Who You Think You're Supposed to Be and Embrace Who You Are Staying vulnerable is a risk we have to take if we want to experience connection. Misattributed to Sigmund Freud Out of your vulnerabilities will come your strength. Brady: Love is the directive and dominant center of emotions. p. 267 Many emotions are associated with love Delight, Bliss, Happiness A sense of fulfillment Warmth Grief Sadness Anxiety Distress If there is no emotion, there is no agape, no love. The heart must be moved for love to be anything like complete. We cannot love like a Vulcan, like Mr. Spock without emotion. „Even the most elevated psychological understanding is not a loving understanding.“ — Karl Jaspers German psychiatrist and philosopher 1883 - 1969 Effects of trauma -- from episode 88, Trauma: Defining and Understanding the experience Emotional and Psychological effects Emotional overwhelm Shock Shame as an emotion Guilt Irritability, anger, rage Anxiety, fear, panic attacks, phobia, panic attacks, Fears of trauma repeating Jenny Han, book Always and Forever, Lara Jean Being vulnerable, letting people in, getting hurt… it's all part of being in love. Sadness, depression Mood swings Hopelessness, despair Emotional constriction, shutting down Difficulty experiencing positive emotions Anhedonia Apathy Brady 273. Love does not die because of hate but because of apathy. Cognitive Effects -- impact on sensation, perceptive, higher-order thinking Alexithymia -- inability to recognize or describe one's own emotions -- can't put my feelings into words. Can't conceptualize your feelings either Feelings in others could be overwhelming -- can't recognize what others are feeling Can't express my feelings well Can't connect affectively, emotionally. That takes vulnerability Confusion, distraction Spacing out with dissociation Physical Effects of trauma -- preoccupation with the body Behavioral Symptoms Relational apathy Social withdrawal Existential Symptoms Despair about humanity -- overgeneralized to the other person Cynicism Disillusionment Identity issues -- shame. I'm not worth you connecting emotionally with me What could I ever offer you emotionally? I'm such a downer. Strong self-criticism Fragmentation Love is affirming Love affirms the other Love says yes to the other person at the same time as love says yes to oneself. "Agape is the simple yet profound recognition of the worthiness of and goodness in persons." p. 268 Edward Vacek: Love is an affective, affirming participation in the goodness of a being (or Being).… Love is an emotional, affirming participation the dynamic tendency of an object to realize its fullness.” Brene Brown -- Rising Strong Vulnerability is not winning or losing; it's having the courage to show up and be seen when we have no control over the outcome. Vulnerability is not weakness; it's our greatest measure of courage.“ Affirmation happens at two levels One level is the basic level of human dignity shared by all persons. Second level of affirmation is the uniqueness of the person. When you love your neighbor you truly see the other as a person. Jules Toner, SJ -- "I love you because you are you." We need to affirm at both levels. The basic dignity of the person and the uniqueness of the person. Affirmation implies acceptance of the other and knowledge of the other. This is not an endorsement of the other's vices or bad habits, but a recognition of them and an acceptance of who the person is as an entire being. Not picking and choosing the attractive bits. Self-acceptance of the same things. Affirmation requires freedom -- freedom to get outside the self. Effects of trauma Emotional and Psychological effects Turning inward -- self-protection. Connections vs. protection -- Episode 89 Where is the safety? How can I escape the danger? Not letting anyone in to love me. Feeling disconnected or numb or detached -- dorsal vagal response. Freeze response. Deer in the headlights Bodily response Emotional Constriction, Shutdown Shame -- what is my affirmation of you worth? I'm not worth much, my affirmation isn't worth much. Feeling very fragile, vulnerable -- not resilient enough -- I can't engage Irritability, hostility, Depression -- lethargy Mood swings -- unpredictability, others can't trust me. Emotional detachment, disconnection -- in relationships Helplessness Difficulty experiencing positive emotions How can I reach out? White knuckling. Feels very forced. Cognitive Effects -- impact on sensation, perceptive, higher-order thinking Racing thoughts -- so distracting, I can attend to you, I can't attune to you, I can't affirm you. My house is on fire. Extreme alertness - suspicion of you -- are you a threat? Will you trigger me? Physical Effects Behavioral Symptoms Argumentative behavior Social withdrawal and relational apathy. Avoidance Existential Symptoms Ruminating about evil in the world Identity issues -- shame If I affirm you I will see myself in a bad light because of my shame Affirmation involved a positive evaluation -- so tempting to see myself negatively. Fragmentation Lack of affirmation from the whole self Toner [Radical love] "is giving self; for it is myself who am in the loved one by my love, not merely by my possessions, or even my thoughts, my wit, my joy, my wisdom, my strength. It is I myself." Toner: Loving someone in depth… Means loving from the lovers most personal self, with sincerity, intensity, endurance… To affectively affirm this unique person in a response informed by full, detailed knowledge, which catches the delicate shadings of his profoundest attitudes, moods, likes, and dislikes, ideals, fears, hopes, capabilities, weaknesses, etc. The experience of love 160 Love is Responsive Love is an active response for the well-being of the other. This is where Brady includes benevolence. It's about participating in the promotion of the highest good for the other, potential for the other's full humanity. How can I help you to flourish? How can I help you toward your highest good? This is where self-sacrifice comes in. love will call for self-sacrifice. Responsiveness implies an attunement to the other -- a resonance, and understanding. The capacity to respond well. It's not just any responsiveness. The ability to be aware of and to respond effectively to the needs of my neighbor. So there is a capacity about this. It's not just an act of the will. Attunement can be described as a kind of resonance. Toner: Radical love is experience as being in accord with the loved one, vibrating as it were, in harmony with the beloved's act of being and so with the whole melody of the beloved's life. It is a welcoming of the loved one into the lover's self and his life-world, as fitting there, making a harmony with the lover's being and life. But there must also be action: "Let us love, not in word or speech, but in truth and action." ` John 3:18. Parents "Doing the best they can" Love bottled up inside. -- Not expressed. Then it's not love. Love that is not shared, that is not relational is not love. Brene Brown: Of all the things trauma takes away from us, the worst is our willingness, or even our ability, to be vulnerable. There's a reclaiming that has to happen. Rising Strong 2015 Madeleine L'Engle Walking on water (1980) When we were children, we used to think that when we were grown-up we would no longer be vulnerable. But to grow up is to accept vulnerability… To be alive is to be vulnerable. To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly be broken.“ — Clive Staples Lewis, book The Four Loves The Letter of James 2:45-17. What does it profit, my brethren, if a man says he has faith but has not works? Can his faith save him? If a brother or sister is ill-clad and in lack of daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what does it profit? So faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead. Responsive to needs Not just physical needs, but the emotional needs, psychological needs, relational needs St. Bernard of Clairvaux: We must remember that love reveals itself, not by words or phrases, but by actions and experience. It is Love with speaks here, and if anyone wished to understand it, let him first love. Effects of trauma Emotional and Psychological effects Overwhelm Shock Shame Irritability, anger, rage Anxiety, fear, apprehension Guilt Sadness, depression, grief Helplessness, despair Mood swings -- swept away by our own experience Anhedonia -- difficulty experiencing positive emotions. Apathy Protection vs. connection. I'm on fire inside, I am frozen inside. It's chaotic inside Intense self-preoccupation. Not selfishness. It's really hard to judge the moral quality of these things accurately. When we are preoccupied with the intensity of our own experience, it's hard to be responsive to the other person. Cognitive Effects -- impact on sensation, perceptive, higher-order thinking “When something reminds traumatized people of the past, their right brain reacts as if the traumatic event were happening in the present. But because their left brain is not working very well, they may not be aware that they are re-experiencing and reenacting the past - they are just furious, terrified, enraged, ashamed, or frozen.” ― Bessel Van Der Kolk Difficulty concentrating, even focusing on the other person. Confusion. Others sense the disconnect. Not attuned. Guardedness -- protecting against vulnerability Questioning "Why me?" makes it hard to respond to you. Physical Effects Behavioral Symptoms Startle responses Argumentative behavior Social withdrawal and relational apathy. Avoidance Reducing activity levels Existential Symptoms I am permanently damaged. How could I ever be responsive in love. Who would want me? Can be unconscious. Identity issues -- shame I am permanently damaged. Fragmentation -- not a consistent, complete, unified response to the other -- partial responses that seem very incomplete, maybe insincere to the other person. Love requires our whole being Fr. Jules Toner: in the full concrete experience of love, our whole being, spirit and flesh, is involved: cognitive acts, feelings and affections, freedom, bodily reactions – all these are influencing each other and all are continually fluctuating in such a way as to change the structure and intensity of the experience. The experience of love. P. 65 Love is Unitive Brady: The fruit of love is unity. Love unites. It is in the very nature of love to bring together. p. 279 Brady: When you love, you step out of yourself and experience the other. There is still a separateness. Not a blending or a fusion or a loss of identity. But you are no longer just within yourself. You've entered into the space of another. And you've allow the other to enter into your space Loving an enemy -- you are like me. We are similar on a fundamental human level -- No dehumanization. Agape pulls for unity, even with strangers. The mystics describe the unity we are called to in God -- Union with God. Jules Toner: Radical love is not a tendency affection but a being affection by which I am in union with, am present with the loved one. Effects of trauma -- Protection vs. Connection Emotional and Psychological effects Emotional instability, inconsistency -- unpredictability. Makes it hard for the other to trust you. Preoccupation pulls you inside -- guilt, shame -- self protection. St. Augustine: "..if [a man] loves himself on his own account, he does not turn himself toward God, but being turned toward himself, he does not care for anything immutable…." On Christian Doctrine, Book 1, Chapter 22 And the why doesn't matter nearly so much as people think it does. Evil comes from loving some good thing inordinately -- blog post on this -- check it out. Dangerous love, from June 22, 2022 That good thing might be the means that parts of us are seeking to try to provide us with a sense of safety and security. Fear of vulnerability When trust is lost, traumatized people feel that they belong more to the dead than to the living.“ — Judith Herman Trauma and Recovery Love is a battlefield -Pat Benatar 1983 -- music video about all the conflict with her father, and with others seeking to use her as a sexual object. Fear of overwhelming suffering Shutdown Alexithymia Cognitive Effects -- impact on sensation, perceptive, higher-order thinking Distraction, rumination, racing thoughts interfere with capacity to attune, to unite So much internal stimulation -- so much internal noise -- makes it difficult to resonate with the other person, to really understand the other -- to enter into the other's phenomenological world. So much of that distraction is around finding safety and protection -- cognitive restlessness Dissociation and disconnections are experienced as off-putting. Have you ever been with someone who is spacing out when you are talking with them? Physical Effects Behavioral Symptoms Blaming Discharging anger and aggression -- parts so want to be heard and healed. Desperation can lead to boundary crossings and boundary violations. Attempts to use the other person to meet intense needs -- not a conscious effort to exploit the other, but exploitation can happen anyway. Existential Symptoms Shame -- feeling unworthy of connection Not knowing who I am -- makes it really complicated to be in relationship. Identity issues Fragmentation - which part of me is uniting with you right now? What are other parts doing. The need for disconnects within in order to not be overwhelmed - inevitably leads to disconnects with other people You can't give what you don't have. I'm not lovable, why would you want to be united with me? Dissociation Identity alteration: The sense of being markedly different from another part of yourself Identity confusion: A sense of confusion about who you really are we will have a lot more to say about dissociation in future episodes, but for now -- disconnection. I need to know who I am and I need to know who you are to know who we are together, in relationship. Love is steadfast God's love endures. Psalm 891-2 I will sing of thy steadfast love, O Lord,[a] for ever; with my mouth I will proclaim thy faithfulness to all generations.For thy steadfast love was established for ever, It may not always be mutual or reciprocal People want predictability Steadfastness requires resilience, to roll with the punches in the relationship. Any close relationship will have conflicts and difficulties. The fragility in the system that trauma imposes is a real obstacle to resilience necessary to be steadfast in relationship, to not quit and walk away from loving the other person. Jules Toner: "The lover is present to the loved one and has the loved one present to himself." The experience of love, 117 Effects of trauma Emotional and Psychological effects Mood swings -- effect of different parts, each with its own intense emotions Helplessness -- despair -- can be intermittent Emotional shutdown -- dorsal vagal response. Being reactivated or triggered emotionally. Disappointment in the other -- you are not helping me Can lead to frustration and rejection. Cognitive Effects -- impact on sensation, perceptive, higher-order thinking Intrusive thoughts, intrusive memories. Dissociation is a mental process of disconnecting from one's thoughts, feelings, body, from memories or sense of identity. This disconnection is automatic and completely out of the person's control. Amnesia: Often described as "gaps" in memory that can range from minutes to years Depersonalization: Feeling disconnected from your body or thoughts Derealization: Feeling disconnected from the world around you Physical Effects Impact of hyperarousal Impact of hypoarousal Behavioral Symptoms Withdrawal Avoidance -- refusal of consistent vulnerability Alcohol and drug use „For me, vulnerability led to anxiety, which led to shame, which led to disconnection, which led to Bud Light.“ — Brené Brown US writer and professor 1965 Source: Daring Greatly: How the Courage to Be Vulnerable Transforms the Way We Live, Love, Parent, and Lead Switching among parts Existential Symptoms Deep sense of not being loved, not being lovable There is no love in the world. At least not for me. So why unite with anyone. Loss of meaning and purpose. Identity issues Fragmentation Unstable identity makes it hard to be consistent in the loving The death of love Brady 273. Love does not die because of hate but because of apathy. The death of love is often preceded by the denial of the basic dignity of the other. The death of love happens when we reject instead of affirm the other's special personal and unique goodness. The death of love is encouraged when we ignore the other's needs and wants while prioritizing our own wants. The deal of love occurs when we pursue discord, division, disassociation, and distance in the place of unity. That is sin. Malice is not necessary for love to die. Apathy doesn't have malice in it. In apathy, the other does not register in your consciousness. He or she doesn't matter. He or she doesn't exist for you. We don't have to active deny the basic dignity of the other. We just have to not notice it. Not attend to it We don't have to actively reject the other's special and unique goodness, we just have to not notice it, not attend to it. We don't have to actively ignore the other's needs and wants -- we just have to be preoccupied with our own trauma and its effects. Hope Romans 8:28 We know that in everything God works for good[a] with those who love him,[b] who are called according to his purpose. Julian of Norwich: And because of the tender love which our good Lord has for all who will be saved, he comforts readily and sweetly, meaning this: it is true that sin is the cause of all this pain, but all will be well, and every kind of thing will be well. Widow's mite Luke 21:1-4 He looked up and saw rich people putting their gifts into the treasury; 2 he also saw a poor widow put in two small copper coins. 3 He said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all of them; 4 for all of them have contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty has put in all she had to live on.” Ratios Martin Luther King: Love even for enemies is the key to the solution of the problems of the world. Strength to Love 47-48 Psychologist Peter Levine: Trauma is hell on earth. Trauma resolved is a gift from the gods. Romans 5:20 ..where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, 1 John 3:1 See what love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Romans 8 35-39 Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will hardship, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, “For your sake we are being killed all day long; we are accounted as sheep to be slaughtered.” No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Call to Action Kent Keith The Paradoxical Commandments -- Resilience. Mother Theresa had pinned this up in one of her convents. People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered. Love them anyway.If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives. Do good anyway.Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable. Be honest and frank anyway.What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight. Build anyway.People really need help but may attack you if you do help them. Help people anyway.Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth. Give the world the best you have anyway. Where we are going If you want to love, you have to first be loved and know you are loved. Tolerating being loved -- many people assume that we just want to be loved -- that's not anything like entirely accurate. 1 John 4:19 We love, because he first loved us. Ordered self love. Check out our blogs -- weekly email reflections June 15 -- Seven ways to understand sin Sin as breaking the law Sin as a burden Sin as a debt Sin as “missing the mark” Sin as a violating your conscience Sin as breaking or harming relationships Sin as the failure to love, or the “anti-love” June 22 Dangerous Love -- we really get into St. Augustine's description of sin as a disordered or misdirected love, and I share how when we that misdirected love is oriented toward getting our attachment needs met, it's not only misdirected love, it's a dangerous love.

Den größten Teil seines Lebens verbrachte Tolkien in Oxford. Dort schrieb er auch einen Großteil seiner Werke. Da ist es nicht verwunderlich, dass die Stadt ihn auch inspiriert hat. In dieser Folge von "Tolkien in 5 Minuten" unternehmen wir gemeinsam einen kleinen Spaziergang zu Tolkiens Wirkungsstätten in Oxford.
My guest is another WINNING MIND from history: He was born in Ireland in 1898. His mother died when he was 10, and 1 month later he moved to England to attend school. He later joined the British army and fought in WW1. He was a friend if J.R.R. Tolkien, author of the “Lord of the Rings.” He was one of the intellectual giants of the twentieth century and arguably one of the most influential writers of his day. He was a Fellow and Tutor in English Literature at Oxford University until 1954, when he was unanimously elected to the Chair of Medieval and Renaissance Literature at Cambridge University, a position he held until his retirement. [He] wrote more than thirty books, allowing him to reach a vast audience, and his works continue to attract thousands of new readers every year. One of his works is the classic series: The Chronicles of Narnia. Who is this WINNING…and apparently, WRITING MIND? It is Clive Staples Lewis, also known as CS Lewis. This reading is called “On Living in an Atomic Age” is just one of the many essays in a book called “Present Concerns.” It is a collection of essays CS Lewis wrote and published during his life. It speaks of an Atomic Bomb, which I think is relevant to us now, but could also be substituted with the threat of pandemic, war, famine, or whatever else seems to threaten us any given year. Thank you for listening. I hope you enjoy this, and that it challenges you to think and live, and that it contributes to your next WINNING decision. Anthony Pompliano Pomp
Este episódio dá sequência a série inaugurada no ano passado, intitulada "Heróis da Fé", que busca trazer os sermões de grandes homens da fé, uma vez que ter conhecimento de seus escritos é superior que ler ou ouvir interpretações de outros sobres os sermões desses grandes homens de Deus. Portanto, dando continuidade a essa série, este episódio traz um dos sermões mais significativos e complexos do gigante C. S. Lewis: O Peso da Glória. Clive Staples Lewis (1898-1963) foi um dos gigantes intelectuais do século XX e provavelmente o escritor mais influente de seu tempo. Nesse sermão, Lewis traz diversos silogismos instigantes a respeito de um anseio "vindo de fábrica" na humanidade. Sua premissa alude que, bem como o nosso corpo físico foi criado para comer e sentir fome, logo, é evidência suficiente de que exista comida neste mundo para supri-lo. Portanto, se fomos criados com um anseio na alma pela eternidade, tal faz-se prova de que a mesma exista, contudo, comumente buscamos suprir esse anseio com coisas finitas e terrenas, quando só pode ser suprido em Cristo. À vista disso, somente tendo conhecimento das Escrituras Sagradas que alcançamos saciar este anseio latente, do qual será plenamente satisfeito na eternidade com Cristo. Tais premissas confrontam diretamente concepções equivocadas de filósofos de seu tempo e também contemporâneos. Portanto, se você nunca ouviu este sermão de Lewis ou nunca teve oportunidade de ler no livro dele, chegou a oportunidade de conhecer integralmente! Então, clica aí e confira!
