Mystical Theology: Introducing the Theology and Spiritual Life of the Orthodox Church
Series: Mystical Theology Unit 1: IntroductionEpisode 1: Holy Scripture & Greek PhilosophyIntroducing the theology and spiritual life of the Orthodox Church, with particular reference to the Holy Bible and the witness of the Church Fathers, past and present.This Unit, "Holy Scripture & Greek Philosophy", consists of a presentation of select passages from Holy Scripture and a discussion of the language of the Bible, in both Old and New Testaments. Followed by a brief presentation of (chiefly) Platonic philosophy, we endeavour to underline the key features of these fundamentally different worlds.Inspired by the spiritual lineage and ascetico-theological vision of Sts. Silouan and Sophrony the Athonites, a wide range of themes pertaining to the mystical theology of the Christian Church will be discussed.It is hoped that these presentations will help the enquirer discern the interwoven character of theology and the Christian living, and to identify the ascetic and pastoral significance of the Orthodox ethos.

Join Emily and Edmund as they dive into Unit 6. This podcast is packed. You'll hear about Emily's wonder at creation, Edmund's favorite Catechism passage, and some listener feedback. A highlight of this episode is the process around animating imagery for the Trinity; Emily explains the “why” behind what you'll see in Unit 6. Edmund takes on a Catechism Challenge in this episode. And finally, learn about this Real + True project being presented to the Vatican. Take a listen! Show Notes: [00:10] Introduction + Overview of Episode The Thesis of Unit 6 is “God is the Creator of Heaven and Earth” and covers Catechism sections 232-421. This Unit has three videos: Proclamation: The Mystery of Life, Explanation: The Story of Creation, Connection: Your story and THE story. [04:24] Proclamation: Wonder and Awe Emily shares her experience of wonder at creation, and how a course through UC Berkeley, encountering nature in the Midwest, and Planet Earth have shaped her heart to wonder at the world around her. Emily dissects the difference between awe and shame. Creation is complicated but humility helps us find our place within the huge diversity, vastness, and beauty of what God has made. [11:30] Standout Section of the Catechism: Edmund and Emily's Favorite Passages Emily was most moved by Catechism 384: “Revelation makes known to us the state of original holiness and justice of man and woman before sin: from their friendship with God flowed the happiness of their existence in paradise.” Emily loved this section because it reminds her that God created us for peace and justice. Edmund's stand-out section was Catechism 286: “Human intelligence is surely already capable of finding a response to the question of origins. The existence of God the Creator can be known with certainty through his works, by the light of human reason, even if this knowledge is often obscured and disfigured by error. This is why faith comes to confirm and enlighten reason in the correct understanding of this truth: "By faith we understand that the world was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was made out of things which do not appear'” Edmund was moved because this statement honors man's dignity, that our intellects can find God through creation. [17:10] Animating the Mystery of the Trinity: Edmund shares wisdom from a theology professor. Emily shares an insight for the animation behind images of the Trinity in the Real + True videos. The challenge to capture visually what we believe about the Trinity resulted in the kaleidoscope imagery. [20:53] Shoutout to A Podcast Listener: Our listeners (that's YOU) play an important part in making the Catechism come to life. In this section, Emily shares feedback we received from a listener. The listener shared that Real + True is being used at his parish for those considering baptism and entering the Catholic Church. [21:33] The Story Mechanism: the Explanation Video Emily shares that there is much more to the creation story than she knew. Edmund shares about how in his childhood he did not understand that his life was part of the larger story of creation. Edmund references good storytelling in movies, and how God is the best storyteller. [24:44] The Connection Video: Your story and THE story The film Noah is used as an example of how important storytelling is. The analogy used in the Connection video is explained in more depth. Edmund tells us that Catholic doctrines and teachings can often seem like disconnected beads but the power of storytelling is that it threads the beads of our beliefs together to create a unified understanding of Creation. The readings at the Easter Vigil are a powerful experience of encountering the story of Creation and Salvation. [32:37] A Catechism Game Emily challenges Edmund by choosing “random” parts of Catholicism and asks him to relate it back to “the story” of salvation. Edmund shares how the...
This Unit 5 podcast is packed! Your hosts Emily and Edmund share about animating the burning bush, the power of knowing God's name, and much more. The thesis for Unit 5 is, “I believe in God.” Belief in God as a person, not as a distant concept is addressed. Edmund shares about being cast as an astronaut for a day and the power of the Creed. Emily shares a story of persecuted Christians professing the Creed in the face of opposition. The episode closes with an exciting announcement about the global reach of Real + True. Take a listen! [00:12] Introduction + Overview of Episode Your Real + True hosts Edmund and Emily introduce themselves and this Unit 5 podcast. This Unit covers CCC 185-231 and the thesis of the episode is: “I believe in God.” The Unit includes three videos: Proclamation: What's in a name? Explanation: “Who is God?” Connection: “What is the Creed? And why is it important?” In this Unit of videos, you're invited to consider, “God is a person; how do we relate to God?” The hosts mention the Rock family, who is interviewed for one of the videos for this unit. [06:40] Proclamation Video: The Implications of Knowing God's Name Emily challenges listeners, “We talk about ‘God' but do we really stop and think about what that means?” God has revealed himself to us. The burning bush scene from scripture is discussed. It was a particularly fun scene to write and animate for the team; they enjoyed bringing it to life. The power of knowing someone's name is addressed. Emily asks, “Do you know what Jesus' name means?” Jesus' identity is his mission. [9:35] Favorite Part of the Episode: Standout Catechism Paragraph Edmund and Emily share what paragraphs stood out to them. Edmund was moved by paragraph CCC 229: “Faith in God leads us to turn to him alone as our first origin and our ultimate goal, and neither to prefer anything to him nor to substitute anything for him.” This challenged Edmund to think, “Do I prefer God over everything else?” Emily was most struck by CCC 222-227. This section discusses the great consequences of believing in God, namely, it means coming to know God's greatness and majesty, living in thanksgiving, knowing the unity and true dignity of all men, making good use of created things, and trusting God in every circumstance. Emily attests to the fact that her trust in God increased while working on this project through encountering this section. [15:05] Explanation Video: The concepts that inspired this video are addressed. Edmund talks about the first time he encountered the concept of God. Emily explains that faith is the belief in a “who” not a “what.” God wants us to know him as a person, not as a distant concept. The statement, “I believe in God” changes everything about our lives. [20:17] Connection Video: “I believe in God.” Perhaps this is the part of the Mass that is most memorized. Edmund shares his experience of being an astronaut for a day. Edmund explains that the Creed unifies the faithful, and is a powerful statement of belief in God. Emily mentions a powerful story of Christians who professed the Creed together in the face of persecution. The hosts pose the question, “Does the Creed really change our lives?” [27:05] Announcement: Real + Verdadero has launched! Real + True is a global project, releasing videos in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and French. New this week, this Real + True podcast is now available in Spanish. The goal is that all people would encounter the heart of the Catechism: Jesus Christ. [28:08] Recap + Mission: The Catechism is a faithful echo of a God who desires to reveal himself to us. Real + True transforms the Catechism into a living voice for the modern world. Connect with Real + True through the Real + True newsletter, facebook, instagram, twitter, LinkedIn, realtrue.org, and this podcast.

From the moment that Galileo dropped two cannonballs of different sizes and weights from the top of the Leaning Tower of Pisa mankind has been fascinated by the impact of gravity. This Unit looks at gravity, its impact on objects and how the energy involved in the movement of objects is dispersed or stored.

This Unit looks at how units if inheritance are transmitted from one generation to the next. First you will look at what happens to the chromosones of animals and plants during the process of sexual reproduciton. Then you will examine how genes are transmitted in particular patterns from generation to generation. These two approaches combine to illustrate how the patterns of inheritance can be explained by the behaviour of chromosomes during sexual reproduction.

This Unit looks at three different uses of genetic testing: pre-natal diagnosis, childhood testing and adult testing. Such tests provide genetic information in the form of a predictive diagnosis, and as such are described as predictive tests. Pre-natal diagnosis uses techniques such as amniocentesis to test fetuses in the womb. For example, it is commonly offered to women over 35 to test for Down's syndrome. Childhood testing involves testing children for genetic diseases that may not become a problem until they grow up, and adult testing is aimed at people at risk of late-onset disorders, which do not appear until middle age. In addition, we address some of the issues involved in carrier testing, another predictive test. This involves the testing of people from families with a history of genetic disease, to find out who carries the gene, and who therefore might pass the disease onto their children even though they themselves are unaffected. Here the aim is to enable couples to make informed choices about whether or not to have children, and if so whether they might have a genetic disease studies 'proteins'.
