We turn to the questions: What is ‘mystical' in the Corpus Dionysiacum? What is esoteric? The answers we come up with involve pretty much every aspect of the western esoteric traditions, and, after all the initiatory liturgy, esoteric scriptural hermeneutics, and theandric activity are cleared away, there remains the ascent to ‘the ray of the divine shadow'.

Myspodden med Carl Norberg

Damokles, som var hovman hos kung Dionysios av Syrakusa, avundades dennes lycka. När Damokles en gång inför sin herre prisade envåldshärskarens lyckliga och avundsvärda ställning, fick han vid ett gästabud inta härskarens plats, men ett skarpslipat svärd, upphängt i ett tagelstrå ovanför hans huvud, fick honom att inse att en furste ständigt är utsatt för fara. Därav benämningen damoklessvärd som sedan har blivit ett bevingat ord för överhängande fara.

Vår resa med Dionysios Areopagiten går mot sitt slut och vi avrundar med frågan om vad som blir kvar - som mystik eftervärme - sedan hans skrifter åter förs till bokhyllan. Huvudfokus denna gång ligger inte på det personliga, utan snarare vad vi tar med oss till kyrkans gemenskap. Men vad är då kyrkan? Paulus beskriver kyrkan som fortsättningen på det gamla testamentets tempel: en byggnadskonstruktion i Jerusalems hjärta, där Gud en gång tog sin boning. Enligt Paulus är Guds nya hem våra kroppar och själar. Ja Paulus säger faktiskt att vi är Guds kropp: Kristi kropp. Kyrkans teologi understryker att det inte bara är med vår kropp Gud förenat sig, utan med allt vi är. Ingenting är utanför. "Ni är världens ljus", säger Jesus. Ord som Mästaren hemlighetsfullt använder både om kyrkan och sig själv. Kan vi i längden vara mystiker utan kyrkans gemenskap, eller hör den enskilda vägen främst till en fas, som till slut ansluter till den gemensamma? Kanske har vår enskilda väg tagit oss ända upp på det heliga bergets topp. Men den som bidat där ett tag, anar i horisonten ljuset från en stad. Det nya Jerusalem. Och dit, leder inga enskilda vägar.

När Dante till slut når Saturnus, tidens sfär, förefaller hans älskade Beatrice äldre. Moderlig. Det är som att tidens himmel spelar honom ett spratt, för i denna sista planetsfär tycks också han själv bli yngre. Men vad är tid? Är den linjär, cyklisk eller passar egentligen någon annan geometrisk form för att beskriva dess rörelse? Finns det någon sanning bakom talet om tidsåldrar? Hur skall vi reflektera över Paulus och Jesu ord om att vi lever i den yttersta tiden? Och hur förhålla oss till den tid, som så många beskriver som på väg bort, i allt snabbare fart? Finns det kanske något sätt att hejda den i sin flykt? Den som för en stund betraktar den ortodoxa ikonen för Kristi himmelsfärd lägger efter en stund märke till något besynnerligt. Trots att han inte hade blivit kristen än, så står Paulus där mitt bland lärjungekretsen, änglarna och jungfru Maria – ja han tycks liksom trotsa tiden - och blickar tillsammans med de andra uppåt genom himlarna. Även på pingstens ikon är han med, och anledningen är enkel. Likt Paulus kan vi alla instiga i dessa bibliska mysterier. Tidens dörr är inte stängd. Paulus himmelsfärd ägde rum lite senare än lärjungarnas, och också i våra liv kan en himmelsfärd äga rum. Återigen hör vi Dionysios ord, i hans utläggning av en av kyrkohögtiderna: Visst är du nitisk nog att nog att inte närma dig de gudomliga tingen genom sekundärkällor... Den kristendom Dionysios bjuder in oss till, är inte en berättelse om något som hände för 2000 år sedan. För Dionysios, är tiden nu.

När Jesus i sina gåtfulla liknelser talar till lärjungarna om deras heliga tjänst jämför han vad de skall göra med livet hos ett litet frö, ja det minsta fröet av alla. Ett frö som kommit för att sås i jordens djupaste mörker, men som en dag skall växa till att bli det största av alla träd, till vilket alla änglar kommer för att bo. Dionysios skriver att för att detta skall kunna äga rum behöver vi bli invigda i Guds teurgi. En gudomlig konst som syftar till att göra hela världen till ett sakrament. Och de enda som kan vägleda oss att lära känna denna heliga konst är de teurgiska ljusen själva. Änglarna. Varelser av ljus som vill komma oss nära och göra oss mottagliga för det enda ljuset. Och i detta ljus vägleda oss att avslöja de fördolda symbolerna och tillvarons inre sympatier: så att gränserna mellan världarna blir så tunna att tillvarons gränser helt suddas ut, och alla Guds lager blir tillgängliga för alla och allt, överallt. I ljuset av denna fantastiska vision avrundar jag och Josef Moe Ekesryd vårt samtal med att reflektera kring den kanske allra mest sublima aspekten av Dionysios änglalära. Något Dionysios säger sig ha blivit invigd i av sin lärare Hierotheus. En helig teurgisk handling som handlar om att uppfatta änglarna som erotiska väsen, vars längtan det är vår uppgift att återföra in i Guds väsen. En teurgisk akt som riktar alla ljusens blickar tillbaka in i ljuset.

När Dante talar om inträdandet i månens sfär beskriver han det som sökandet efter en pärla, som tumlar runt, i en sjö av mjölk. Pärlans vita yta är för det jordiska ögat omöjlig att särskilja från den vätska som omgärdar den. Dante söker med fingrarna, i gränslandet mellan dröm och vakenhet, och får till slut fatt på den, lyfter den till sig, skärskådar månpärlans närmast genomskinliga yta, för att genom sin inre blick lära känna den vishet som bor i den. Dagens samtal handlar om att intuitivt lära sig uppfatta och använda de fördolda förbindelser som Dionysios menar sammankopplar allt i vår värld med de osynliga världarna bortom. Genom att se tingens så kallade inre sympatier kan den intuitive se en liljas förbundenhet med Venus, eller i en pärla finna en port till Månen. Föremål som i bönelivet kan föra oss närmre de sfärer i vilka vi eftersträvar att bida. Josef berättar om en serie synkroniciteter som tar sin begynnelse när han införskaffar en bok av en mystiker han inte tidigare lagt märke till. Boken innehåller ett antal hemlighetsfulla symboler som fångar hans uppmärksamhet. Söndagen därefter upptäcker han en av symbolerna från boken, på väggen i en kyrka i vilket han snart skall fira mässa. Snart upptäcker han fler, och inte långt därefter visar det sig att hela dekoren i Läckö magnifika slottskapell består av en fullständig samling av bokens alla mystika symboler, vilka rätt uttolkade och satta i rätt ordning, beskriver en väg till hjärtats reningsprocess. Samtalet avslutas med en reflektion kring Böhmelärjungen Georg Gichtel, vars skrifter Josef en gång visade mig när var vi var på besök i Hjalmar Ekströms efterlämnade bibliotek på Sigtunastiftelsen. I en serie illustrationer beskriver Gichtel planetsfärerna som cirkulerande inom människan, samt den spiralformade rörelse av ljus, som också är en av Dionysios viktigaste nycklar.

Den uppmärksamme studenten av Dionysios verk lägger efter en tid märke till att Dionysios om och om igen refererar till en sorts kosmisk karta, en intrikat symbolisk vision av världen, tecknad med sfärer och triader. En karta som Dionysios Areopagiten fick som gåva av de änglar som vägledde honom genom de himlar den beskriver. En sorts symbol för allt, som beskriver hur Gud skapar himlarna och jorden, genom att låta sig själv flöda ut genom ett antal gudomliga principer. Likt en kosmisk fraktal i ständig rörelse strålar Den ende i detta nu ut ur sig själv och ger allt skapat del i sitt väsens grund. Därmed är inte skapelsens grund inte något annat än Gud, säger Dionysios. Nej, allt du ser i skapelsen är namn på Gud. För varhelst du vänder din blick, ser du Gud själv. I detta nyckelavsnitt till hela den andra säsongen av podden djupdyker jag och Josef Moe-Ekesryd i Dionysios Areopagitens kosmologiska vision. Vid vår sida har vi protorenässanspoeten Dante Alighieri, också han en student av Dionysios mystika karta, som vid sidan om Gud och skapelsen också visar sig beskriva människan och den spiralformade väg hon kan ta, för att åter finna sitt oskapade ursprung. En karta som vi noterar inte är alldeles olik den judiska kabbalan, som började utvecklas några hundra år efter att Dionysios skrev sina verk. Men det var Dionysios Areopagiten som var först.

I podden Myter och Mysterier har mystikern Eric Schüldt gjort en observation som blir grunden för dagens samtal. Kyrkan bär på en Petruslinje och en Johanneslinje. Två olika sätt att vara kyrka, som ändå tillsammans utgör en enda gemenskap. En överlappande observation har gjorts av professorn i kyrkohistoria, Samuel Rubenson. Några uttryck för Petruslinjen är den offentliga bekännelsen, utläggningen och läran. Johanneslinjen lyfter snarare fram avskildheten, tystnaden och mysteriet som väg till gnosis. Detta sista avsnitt med prästen Peter Westermark blir en historisk resa fram och tillbaka sedan kyrkans födelse. Från Origenes, ökenfäderna och Gregorius av Nyssa, till östkyrkans Hesychasm och den västerländska mystikens olika uttryck i exempel som Meister Eckhart och Böhme. Vi diskuterar den språkbarriär som hindrade västkyrkan att ta del av östkyrkans mystik och när språkbarriären bröts, genom renässansen. I den medföljande texten till avsnittet tillkommer timestamps, som dels möjliggör större överblickbarhet, så att man kan se när i tiden olika händelser vi talar om äger rum, men också gör det möjligt för den mindre historieintresse att hoppa över dessa delar. Vår reflektion avslutas i gnosticismen och nyplatonismen. Vi frågar oss vad Gnosis egentligen är, och på vilket sätt gnosis alltid varit en självklar del i kyrkan. Därtill om vilka gnostiska texter, som när allt kommer kring, vi personligen uppfattar oss mest dragna till.

Allt är meningslöst. Ingenting betyder något. Gott och ont, rätt och fel är bara ett jagande efter vind. I tomrummet avkläds vi alla tankar och uppfattningar. Trots att den moderna världen delvis blivit till genom mötet med mörkret i detta rum, framstår det för oss som obehagligt och skrämmande. Vi ryggar undan och stänger igen dörren. Inte främst för att det kanske skulle finnas något där inne som skrämmer oss. Utan snarare för att där, blir allt tomt. Kylan är så kompakt. Så total. Där inne finns den sanning som avkläder oss alla lager av lögner förutan vilka, vi skulle gå under. Gud är död, skriver Nietzsche. Ja, den medeltida Gudsuppfattningen gick under i tomrummet. Men var det som dog, kanske bara våra tankar? I tomrummet finns en hemlig passage till den fördolda solen, som bara öppnas för den som gått in i mörkret och stängt dörren efter sig. Det var i bidandet i detta rum som Dionysios Areopagiten skrev sin mest kända text. Ett litet mästerverk på bara några sidor som inleds med en bön till en Gud som dväljs i den djupaste skuggan, i ett strålande mörker.

Ibland explicit och ibland något mellan raderna i Dionysios teologi presenteras ett antal nycklar för att kunna att nå fram till ett personligt möte med änglar. En mystik bönepraktik vars första steg - reningen – handlar om en förfinad uppmärksamhet, och vars fortsättning vi får anledning att återkomma till längre fram. Dionysios poängterar att efter utträdet ur Eden har snart sagt alla möten mellan någon i Guds folk och det gudomliga varit just möten med änglar, andeväsen som lever i fördolda världar mellan det högsta och det lägsta. Ja, den som med egna ögon vill skåda Gud måste först skåda änglarna, och bli ledd av dem på deras vägar. Dionysios angelägenhet går inte att ta miste på, och man anar att det fanns de som inte uppskattade hans inställning, men varför? Den nutide ortodoxe teologen David Bentley Hart gjorde för några år sedan en intressant anmärkning. Han noterade att när kristendomen bit för bit tryckte undan den gamla hedendomen gick något viktigt förlorat: en naturlig förväntning att i den heliga lunden, sjön, berget eller olika liminala, tunna, platser kunna möta olika väsen, andar som befolkar mellanvärldarna. Genom kristnandet kom världen allt oftare att förstås som ett opersonligt urverk. Världen sekulariserades. I den heliga lunden skulle inte ett möte äga rum. Nej, där fanns nu bara ved. Människor avråddes från att söka relationer med de krafter som fortfarande kanske rörde sig där ute. Det var till dessa Dionysios skrev.

På 500talet börjar ett antal mystika skrifter cirkulera. De handlar om hur den synliga och osynliga världen är förenade i symboler vilka kan skärskådas i en hemlig gnosis, en himmelsk kunskap som människan kan lära sig genom vägledning av änglar, genom en intrikat kosmologi med 9 himlar. Författarens identitet förblir okänd. Istället för eget namn valde han nämligen att underteckna sina böcker med ett bibliskt namn, hämtat från en av Paulus lärjungar på 50talet efter Kristi födelse. Den så kallade Dionysios Areopagiten. Jag, Carl Stattin och prästen Peter Westermark inleder denna serie avsnitt om Dionysios. Vid femte avsnittet ansluter prästen Josef Moe Ekesryd, tillsammans med vilken jag i poddens första säsong läste två författare från 1300talet, som båda hade just Dionysios som huvudsaklig inspirationskälla. Det första samtalet ställer frågan om varför Dionysios valde just detta namn. Kände han av olika skäl igen sig i den bibliska karaktären? Var namnet en övning i självförglömmande, eller kanske en form av bön där han genom sin hädangångne namne ville komma nära den bibliska historien?

Welcome to Occult of Personality: esoteric podcast extraordinaire. I’m your host, Greg Kaminsky and your co-host is Rudolf Berger.This is episode number 201, featuring an interview with Peter Mark Adams who returns to the show to discuss his recent book, Mystai: Dancing Out the Mysteries of Dionysos, published by Scarlet Imprint.Occult of Personality podcast is made possible by you, the listeners, and by the subscribers to https://chamberofreflection.com, our membership site. Before we get to the show intro, I need to say a few words about our current circumstances. Probably like you, I’m now isolating in a sort of lockdown situation to prevent the spread of the COVID19 virus. I pray that you all stay well and are not too stressed by what is happening. The main point that I want to convey is that this situation, while unusual to us, doesn’t change the fundamental reality in which we exist. Our futures are always uncertain. We never know when the end may arrive. In fact, we all suffer from a fatal condition called beingness. As initiates, occultists, mystics, Freemasons, illuminists, and magicians, we are taught to meditate upon death and impermanence as a most effective way to transform from being self-concerned to caring about the world and others. We must hold this in our minds and always remember that a contagious disease spreading through our communities does not change the fact that we must do the right thing even though it requires courage to do so. Please be brave and know that you can put your spiritual practice to the test in these days. We have the capacity to control our reactions and decisions. Use that ability with wisdom and help those around you who need it. I encourage you to be tender-hearted and compassionate even more so than before. Spread that instead of fear. We must be the light and not just talk about it. So, in that spirit, beginning this week, I’ll be posting older content from the Chamber of Reflection archive publicly at no charge. I’ll offer a free recording each day of an older interview, presentation, or meditation. Links to this free content will be posted on the Occult of Personality Facebook page and our Twitter starting on Friday, March 27th. During this time when we’re adapting to new circumstances in various ways, the least I can do is offer you some additional content to fill your days with even more magick and mystery.Now, in episode #201, Peter Mark Adams returns to the show to discuss his wonderful book, Mystai. You can find Peter Mark Adams online at https://petermarkadams.com/. Peter appeared on the show previously to talk about his book, The Game of Saturn (https://occultofpersonality.net/peter-mark-adams/). “Peter Mark Adams is an author, esotericist, tarotist and professional energy worker; he has been engaged in practical research in the fields of esotericism, energy, consciousness and healing for over 45 years. Peter and his wife run a professional practice dedicated to energy-based healing. Previous publications include Altered States / Parallel Worlds, The Tarot de Marseille Chapbook, The Healing Field: Energy: Consciousness and Transformation; and contributions on ritual, demonic possession and interventions of the deceased in the healing process in the peer reviewed academic journals Paranthropology: Journal of Anthropological Approaches to the Paranormal and the Journal of Exceptional Experiences and Psychology. Peter has acted as an advisor to a television documentary on the paranormal and been a speaker at international academic seminars on healing and consciousness. Peter is an associate member of the European Society for the Study of Western Esotericism (ESSWE).”“The Dionysian themed frescos of Pompeii’s Villa of the Mysteries constitute the single most important theurgical narrative to have survived in the Western esoteric tradition. No other practitioner account of the ritual process for conducting a mystery rite has survived down to today. The frescoes’ vivid and allusive imagery illuminates both the ritual activity of the participants as well as its esoteric import. “The frescoes, created in the most private rooms of the extensive Roman villa, were never meant to be seen by anyone other than the members of the all-female Bakkhic thiasos who conducted their most secret rites within them. Buried and preserved for posterity by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 CE, these stunning Proto-Renaissance images guide the viewer through the consecutive stages of a theurgic rite of initiation into the mysteries of Dionysos. “Arising from within the unique interface between Greek and Roman culture in Southern Italy, the frescoes attest to the survival of an unbroken initiatic tradition of Bakkhic mystery rites on the Italian peninsula stretching back to the fifth century BCE. “The recent restoration of the frescoes has provided a fresh opportunity to elucidate the ritual processes hidden in plain sight. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, Peter Mark Adams draws on current scholarship on dithyrambic performance; the ritual dress of Greco-Roman priestesses; classical philology and the comparative ethnography of rites of higher initiation. With the same attention to detail which he demonstrated in The Game of Saturn, Adams reveals the stages of initiation encoded and accomplished in dance, gesture, ordeal, and sign. “Adams interprets the frescoes through the distinct performative lens of the ritualist, throwing light, for the first time, on the significance of the ritual vocabulary and the phenomenology of ritual participation. We are pulled into the dance ourselves and emerge transfigured by the experience.”I once again find myself very impressed by the work of Peter Mark Adams. In Mystai, Adams has revealed sacred imagery and its function within a long-dead lineage of the Mysteries. His skill in explaining the frescoes, their meanings, and purpose within the ritual context helps us understand this mystical system lost to the mists of time. In the interview, Adams explains how this cult functioned by ritually honoring the deity with a form of devotion that caused a mystical union. Peter Mark Adams has quickly become one of my favorite authors in this genre. His work is groundbreaking, and I always learn new things. Not to mention the book itself is gorgeous and because of the design, materials, colors, and contents, it felt like an indulgent luxury to sit and read it. I highly recommend Mystai!The intro music is “Awakening” by Paul Avgerinos (http://magnatune.com/artists/albums/avgerinos-gnosis?song=3) and the outro music is “Calliopeia – kithara (Ancient Greek)” by Tim Rayborn (http://magnatune.com/artists/albums/rayborn-qadim?song=6) In the Chamber of Reflection, Peter Mark Adams, Rudolf, and I continue this wonderful interview.

He was born in Koritza in Albania. His elder brother Theodosius went to the Holy Mountain and in time became abbot of the monastery of Philotheou. A few years later Dionysios followed his brother and became a monk under him at Philotheou. A heavenly light began to appear to Dionysios every night at the same place, some distance from his monastery. Believing that the light was a divine sign that he was to build a monastery, Dionysios left the Holy Mountain to seek the help of his brother (now Metropolitan of Trebizond) and the Emperor Alexios Comnenis. From the Emperor he received both money and a Royal Charter, which is still kept at the Monastery of St John the Forerunner, which Dionysios founded in 1380, and which is often referred to as the Dionysiou Monastery. Later, pirates plundered the monastery, and Dionysius went to Trebizond, where he reposed at the age of seventy-two.

We’re back with the second of our double bill of episodes from the Film-Philosophy Conference held at the University of Brighton in July. Hosted by our very own Dario Llinares the event boasted an internationally renowned line-up of keynotes and delegates.  Both episodes are made up of interviews we managed to grab as the conference progressed and, we hope gives you a sense of the eclectic mix of themes, methodologies and films that were discussed. As with part one, Neil and Dario are joined on interviewing duties by Kat Zabecka, from the University of Edinburgh. Show Notes 0.0 Introduction – Dario, Neil and Kat welcome Kat to the Cinematologists fold. 10:06 Evy Varsamopoulou (with Neil) - Neil talks to Evy about how Ridley Scott's Prometheus (2012) and Alien: Covenant (2017) introduced a philosophical problematic into a cluster of interrelated and (still) topical issues and debates concerning the origin of humanity, procreation and posthuman futures. 22:30 Mark Cauchi (with Dario) - Mark tells Dario how Jarmusch’s Paterson is an effort to counteract Trumpism and the chauvinistic secularism it embodies, not merely by negatively criticizing it, as Richard Rorty lamented the Left usually does but by drawing upon and revamping a tradition of American thought and culture in order to re-envision positively what a distinctly American secularity could and should be. 42:26 Dionysios Kapsaskis (with Neil) - Neil and Dionysios get into about language and translation in the films of Jim Jarmusch, drawn from Dionysio’s paper exploring representations of translation in Jim Jarmusch’s films. Drawing on recent scholarship on the relationship between film and translation, and on critical writings on translation by Derrida and Benjamin among others, the paper focused on several scenes from Jarmusch’s films in which translation is represented or referred to. 56:26 Jenelle Troxell (with Neil) - Jenelle tells Neil how, with its emphasis on political activism, aesthetic experimentation, and psychoanalysis, the film journal Close Up anticipates the feminist film criticism of the 1970s and how the writers develop what Troxell terms a “contemplative aesthetic” - focusing on film’s capacity to generate states of deep contemplative absorption in the viewer. 01:08:22 Shai Biderman (with Neil) – Over lunch, Neil and Shai discuss Fables and parables—two storytelling devices designed to elicit folk wisdom and moral understanding of human situations and predicaments— how they have gained a stronghold in contemporary film-philosophy and how their use in the Coen Brothers’ oeuvre is worthy of special attention, if only because of their sheer abundance. 01:22:34 Sylvie Magerstaedt (with Kat) – For the last of the conversations featured, Kat sits down with Sylvie to talk about Tim Burton’s Big Fish and Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s Amélie and how although they seem to extol the beauty and power of storytelling and myth creation, and by extension the power of cinema itself, they also raise certain ethical issues when it comes to honesty and truthfulness. Clips featured on this episode include: Trailer for Prometheus (dir. Scott, 2012), a scene from Paterson (dir. Jarmusch, 2016) and the title song from The Ballad of Buster Scruggs (dir. Coen, 2018), performed by Willie Watson and Tim Blake Nelson.
