Everybody is pretending to know anything about nothingness.

how could you have everything without nothing and therefore anything?

[Beware]

People have a habit of getting arrogant and gassing themselves up around here.

How many times has it been said "I've solved it", when there is no thing to solve?

Fewer yet have been bold enough to say "I'm the one", they come and go.

Approaching divinity without muting the ego can lead to disaster.

Messiah you are not, it is written for all who seek to be;

Matthew Chapter 24

4And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.

5For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

6And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

7For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

8All these are the beginning of sorrows.

9Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.

10And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.

11And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

12And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

13But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

14And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

15When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)

16Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:

17Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:

18Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.

19And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!

20But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:

21For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

22And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

23Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.

24For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

The Calling of Saint Matthew, 1600

See the painting by Caravaggio, in fact the masterpiece by Caravaggio below, perhaps one of his best-known artworks - The Calling of Saint Matthew. This instantly striking composition, held at the Contarelli Chapel in San Luigi dei Francesi in Rome, depicts the scenario where Jesus Christ is calling Matthew to follow him.

Along with two other Caravaggio paintings, The Martyrdom of Saint Matthew (painted around the same time as the Calling) and The Inspiration of Saint Matthew, it forms a series devoted to the life and humanity of the saint.
Collectively these Caravaggio artworks were commissioned by the church according to specific instructions from the late Cardinal Matthieu Cointerel contained in his will. Cardinal Francesco Del Monte, the then head of the Vatican office for Church property and also Caravaggio’s patron, elected to commission him to paint the works described.

Art added great impact to religious teachings and still does, as does music, words are just one part of the fabric that lends impetus to an ultimate goal of spreading humanity, as Nelson Mandela said, “Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries”.

Auriorusiana and on we go taking the theme forward. Redbeck

Plato’s Symposium resides among the mighty quintessential works of literature in the Western tradition. While his work The Republic may be better known, Symposium remains the most expressive, powerful, and soul-stirring of the dialogues. Its benefaction has been profound, influencing everything from religion and mysticism, to inducing visions of art, the good, and the beautiful. The Symposium is very much about love, Eros more specifically.

However, the dialogue, beyond being the final triumph of Plato’s literary prowess, it is by its very nature poetic. Plato stands shoulder to shoulder with the poets as opposed to the “philosophers.” In reality, the dialogue is a mythological drama focused on the fate of love and its place within the molecular structure of a new world born out of technology, the political structure, and evolving philosophical thought.

It is most appropriate that this dialogue about love encapsulates a series of love triangles, perhaps not in the sense of being in love with one another but prepared to speak up for and judge the value love in terms of humanity. Phaedrus, Pausanias, and Aristophanes comprise the trio of speakers who see love as a positive ingredient of pederasty. Meanwhile, Eryximachus, Agathon, and Socrates make speeches about how love is intrinsic to all things and consequently they form a second trio with a much broader vision of love in contrast to the first. We then witness the emergence of a further trio who express love but judge it's place and value in context: Alcibiades, Socrates, and Agathon all serve as judges in some capacity during the unfolding course of the dialogue. As the dialogue ends, night falls and Socrates speaks with Aristophanes and Agathon.

While the world pre-philosophy was a haven of poetry and myth, that ethereal realm, built on the garden of Hesiod, Homer, and Sappho, was threatened by the Ionian metaphysicians and sophists. They saw no value in those fanciful superstition laden tales of gods, heroes, and captive souls. Philosophy was actually born in coincidence with the birth of de-mythology; and the Symposium embraces a titanic struggle between the corrupt force of de-mythology and the enlivening energies swirling around re-mythology. These battles of the forces crackling between de-mythology and re-mythology, or simply leaving mythology be, represent the true drama of Eros.

Eros is on trial throughout Symposium. Eros, who is also happens to be a god, is therefore actually under assault by those who claim to be defending him but in reality are intent on his destruction. This trial of Eros also envelopes the trial of physis, of nature, in essence the more central battle between de-mythology and mythology becomes a crisis between physis and nomos, one of nature and convention.
