‘Part 2 Home’ and Introduction to Part 2 - One Summit: Many Paths
Posted by Sunwalk Ed on July 8, 2007
This site is one of five inter-connected parts:
Part 1 (all new posts) - Part 2 (Spiritual/Arts YOU ARE HERE)- Part 3 (Course) - Part 4 (Dict) - Part 5 (PhD)
This is home for Part 2 only - go here for general introduction and Home at Part 1. NB These are static pages - being developed as time permits - but all new postings for all 5 Parts go here. That is from some of the new postings, and other research and reflection, I will in the Part 2 static pages be drafting a ‘book’.
Introduction to Part 2
The purpose of Part 2 is to look more deeply into the spiritual dimension of a holistic model of what it is to be positively and wholly human. This is in the context of what is known as ‘perennial philosophy’.
The’spiritual’ includes contributions by the arts, especially fine art, film, photography, story and poetry, and is therefore interested in the relationship between the arts and spirituality as well as the aesthetics of ‘a theology of unity’ within a universalist and ‘common ground’ approach.
This is so as to develop a universalist ‘theology’ or world-view for personal development and as contribution to those who can be agents for establishing a more just, humane and united world.
BALANCING the experiential HEART with the conceptual HEAD: Don’t forget that most of us need more of the contemplative/meditative to balance the conceptual - as Heschel says concepts are delicious snacks but are no substitute for experiencing mystical unity - why not spend a few contemplative moments here!
Enjoy and dive deep!
