Think Tank Time
So here is a little TTT that I have 10 minutes to write. Last week I presented in my philosophy class on communion. I wrote on the board the following:Ritual and Relational
Daily and Divine
Natural and Supernatural
Added to that list I think should be:
Sacred and Profane
These thoughts all started in Sociology 204 with the sacred and the profane talk. I am not really sure what I am trying to say...
OK so there are some schools of thought that the daily is not interwined with the Divine. That in order for something to be Divine in nature that it must have an element of sacredness to it, that it can only be experienced in ineffable moments of connectivity to a Higher Being i.e. God. This moments cannot be connected to the whole of the daily life, for it loses a sense of awe if not in a "spiritual" place. Example: Engaging in a mystical moment with God where you are just completely loving on Him and He on you in a karaoke bar.
I beg to differ...
Of course, I can only speak subjectively about the matter. I HAVE had these experiences in my daily life. Can I rationalize them? Can I explain them? Can I set forth formulas to prove these moments with God? No, no I cannot.
My blogtime is up...
I will have to expand more later...
