Den som söker skipa ordning i Höga Visans handling och ordna dess förlopp efter förnuftets tids- och rumsuppfattning, tappar snart bort sig själv i diktens vindlande framställning. Berättelsen tycks inte riktigt hänga samman, eller gör möjligen det, men i sådana fall genom fördolda principer, inledningsvis omöjliga att skärskåda. Lite som en film av David Lynch uppträder händelseförloppet närmast som en serie drömmar, där de två älskande huvudpersonerna söker efter varandra, förenas och separeras, i snabba scenbyten sammanvävda med drömmens logik. Ja bruden säger det faktiskt rakt ut; “På min bädd om natten söker jag den jag har kär”. Det är nämligen i drömmen hon förväntar sig att få möta sin älskade. Och vi påminns om att den uppfattningen inte står ensam sett till bibeln som helhet. Genom en exposé över drömmotiv i det bibliska materialet lyfter vi fram flera användbara nycklar som kan användas i föreningen av drömlivet med bönelivet. Samtalet avslutas med en reflektion kring biskop Synesius av Cyrenes bok “De Insomniis”, vilken han skrev under sin tid som nyplatonist, innan han helt tagit steget in i kyrkan, en omständighet man i östkyrklig tradition löst genom att förse boken med korrigerande kommentarer och hänvisningar till flera av de bibliska motiv vi just gått igenom. Synesius skriver om drömmar som något som frigör människans gudomliga Nous från vardagens låsningar, och gör det möjligt för henne att minnas sitt himmelska ursprung, samt hur det främsta verktyget för att göra drömmarna allt mer tillgängliga och möjliga att ta till sig; utgörs av att föra dagbok, eller snarare, natt-bok över sina drömmar.

Fear, loathing, violence, and persecution. How does the philosopher operate under such circumstances? We look at the case-studies of Hypatia of Alexandria and her student Synesius of Cyrene, for some pointers.

The brothers made sacrifices to God, each of his own produce, but God favored Abel's sacrifice instead of Cain's. Cain then murdered Abel, whereupon Yahweh punished Cain by condemning him to a life of wandering.Judas from WikipediaThe Gospel of Mark, the earliest gospel, gives no motive for Judas's betrayal but does present Jesus predicting it at the Last Supper, an event also described in all the later gospels. The Gospel of Matthew 26:15 states that Judas committed the betrayal in exchange for thirty pieces of silver. The Gospel of Luke 22:3 and the Gospel of John 13:27 suggest that he was possessed by Satan. According to Matthew 27:1–10, after learning that Jesus was to be crucified, Judas attempted to return the money he had been paid for his betrayal to the chief priests and committed suicide by hanging. The priests used the money to buy a field to bury strangers in, which was called the "Field of Blood" because it had been bought with blood money. The Book of Acts 1:18 quotes Peter as saying that Judas used the money to buy the field himself and, he "[fell] headlong... burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out." His place among the Twelve Apostles was later filled by Matthias.Bodak Yellow https://youtu.be/PEGccV-NOm8Mary MagdeleneThe portrayal of Mary Magdalene as a prostitute began after a series of Easter sermons delivered in 591, when Pope Gregory I conflated Mary Magdalene, who is introduced in Luke 8:2, with Mary of Bethany (Luke 10:39) and the unnamed "sinful woman" who anoints Jesus's feet in Luke 7:36–50. This resulted in a widespread belief that she was a repentant prostitute or promiscuous woman.[4][2] Elaborate medieval legends from western Europe tell exaggerated tales of Mary Magdalene's wealth and beauty, as well as her alleged journey to southern France. The identification of Mary Magdalene with Mary of Bethany and the unnamed "sinful woman" was a major controversy in the years leading up to the Reformation and some Protestant leaders rejected it. During the Counter-Reformation, the Catholic Church emphasized Mary Magdalene as a symbol of penance. HypatiaHypatia is known to have constructed astrolabes and hydrometers but did not invent either of these, which were both in use long before she was born. Although she herself was a pagan, she was tolerant towards Christians and taught many Christian students, including Synesius, the future bishop of Ptolemais. Ancient sources record that Hypatia was widely beloved by pagans and Christians alike and that she established great influence with the political elite in Alexandria. Towards the end of her life, Hypatia advised Orestes, the Roman prefect of Alexandria, who was in the midst of a political feud with Cyril, the bishop of Alexandria. Rumors spread accusing her of preventing Orestes from reconciling with Cyril and, in March 415 AD, she was murdered by a mob of Christians led by a lector named Peter.[6][7]
A brief reflection on "Lord Jesus, Think on Me" by Synesius of Cyrene and paraphrased by Allen W. Chatfield.
The prowess of the Roman empire was imbued with courage and militarism. Symbolised by the combative male soldier, Michael Edward Stewart‘s tool of historical enquiry is masculinity. In his book, The Soldier’s Life: Martial Virtues and Manly Romanitas in the Early Byzantine Empire (Kismet Press, 2016), Stewart explores whether theological constructions of manhood as ascetic and pacifist changed the contours of manly Romanitas. From the martial metaphors of Synesius of Cyrene, to the third gender of Eunuchs, to the paganism of Emperor Julian to the piety of Theodosius I – The Soldier’s Life reminds us that gender has been constructed for centuries. The fluidity of boundaries and power in this ancient construct of masculinity makes a poignant case against restrictive binaries and static hegemony.
