Life-Giving Spring

Life-Giving Spring

Robert F Thompson

Independently Published
2020
pokkari
This book is an invitation to reacquaintance with the Blessed Virgin Mary. It is also a book of theotropics. As the tiny heliotrope "by nature" orients its face to the sun, so each of us orients our face toward the Beloved. The deeper wisdom is not systematic. Spiritual traditions communicate expressions of wisdom that may blend as harmoniously as the fragrances of a flower garden. This book is about seeing the presentations of our life as occurring under the watchful care of the Blessed Mother. It is, in this sense, a phenomenology of Marian spirituality. The descending Age to come--whose premonitions are already occurring--can be regarded as an Age of the Blessed Virgin Mary. This book is about the generosity at the heart of the cosmos that is mirrored in the hearts of all beings whatsoever in their original and undefended state. The Blessed Virgin is regarded as both Life-Giving Spring and fire that does not consume. For children of the Mother, she is reality as well as the metaphor that contains many other metaphors. She is the reality from which arise answers to many questions--a closing of the circle of what is possible in anyone's life. The book is structured as a mosaic of reflections unfolding from attention to the ancient Greek icon of the "Life-Giving Spring" (Zoodochos Pighi), an instance of which is shown on the cover of this book. As a phenomenology, the book makes reference to the imaginal realm as identified principally by the Iranologist, Henry Corbin. This book touches on hierophanies of the Virgin Mary as well as on particular locales, such as Glastonbury, Walsingham, and Medjugorje, and on the significance of pilgrimage.

Intended for the interested general reader as well as for persons with informed acquaintance with the life and work of Fr. Sergius Bulgakov (d. 1944), this book provides an introduction to the "layers" of Bulgakov's multi-dimensional sophiology. Beyond this, the text proposes this sophiology as a useful interpretive lens for engaging with the range of contemporary concerns, both local and global, in trans-disciplinary ways. All this is done with reference to the best of recent English-language Bulgakov scholarship up through the first decade of the twenty-first century. The late Orthodox spiritual writer, Philip Sherrard, wrote about "a single unified science." Such a science can only exist insofar as it is rooted in the wisdom/glory of God. Bulgakovian sophiology is therefore approached, in this study, from within a larger context than is usually accorded to it. This approach includes reference to what is sometime called The Great Tradition or the perennial wisdom. It is suggested that Bulgakov is best thought of as a visionary Christian writer and Christian humanist, and that his sophiology will continue to be relevant into the future because it is, in essence, a Christian expression of the unitive vision which both acknowledges and transcends modern (and postmodern) discernment of "difference." Within the context of Christian Orthodoxy, Bulgakov's sophiology connects with the contemporary search for a more open, comprehensive, and progressive Orthodoxy rooted in liturgical practice and patristic spirituality. It is also suggested that sophiology, more broadly, is best understood as a particular approach, as opposed to a specific method, to understanding and addressing resistances (within ourselves) to the reign of heaven in the world today and in the years to come. As one student of Fr. Bulgakov is said to have characterized his theology/sophiology--it is "nothing but the experience of the Kingdom of God " A companion volume to this text, The Anthropocosmic Vision: For a New Dialogic Civilization, was published in September 2017. The focus of the companion volume is humanity and its possible futures in light of Holy Wisdom. A Perennials Study Group publication

At this critical juncture in the history and self-understanding of Western civilization, this is an opportune time to reflect upon who we are as human beings, where we have come from, and where we are going-in the largest possible scope of vision. This text is offered as one such reflection, making particular reference to the Synergic Anthropology of the Russian philosopher, Sergey S. Horujy. This book is written at a transitional time for America and Europe and indeed for the world. Within this change there is an undercurrent of political feeling that looks to Russia or identifies with certain conceptualizations of (Orthodox) Christian Russia (or "Holy Rus"). The current regime of oligarchs in Russia capitalizes on this. A key quality or characteristic of this relationship, from both sides, is one of resentment-resentment that is maximized for use in weaponized public rhetorics. We are witness, as an expression of this, to resurgent nationalisms, including a "white nationalism," which is trans-national in its formation. More than ever, it is important to see humankind in its telos-its divine potential for unfolding, much as a flower blossom unfolds, in freedom and love. If it has the surface appearance of a scholarly work, this new text is offered more as an unfinished hymn-a melody-touching on intellectual and spiritual traditions ranging from hesychast practice, to Maximus the Confessor and Mikhail Bakhtin, intending contexts that are global, cosmic and open. The focus of this book is humanity and its possible futures in light of Holy Wisdom. This title is conceived as a companion volume to the author's earlier study, From Glory to Glory: The Sophianic Vision of Fr. Sergius Bulgakov, published in 2016. A Perennials Study Group publication

It is important at this stage of planetary history--at this stage in the evolution of consciousness--to elevate a hopeful vision toward which, as planetary community of communities, we may direct our aspirations. In what direction, in our heart-of-hearts, do we wish to travel together? It is suggested here that what is most needed is not so much programmatic as melodic--a discerned melody with which we may harmonize our thoughts and actions. In this, we come to understand the role and function of imagination as a mode of perception--the "place" of revelation. This text is the third and concluding volume in a series of extended reflections on humankind--its formation, its potential and its future. Whereas the first volume is concerned with Fr. Sergius Bulgakov's sophiology and the second volume with the synergic anthropology of the Russian philosopher, Sergey Horujy, this present volume is concerned with what is called the divine-humanity and the divine melody that draws it into being. Referring to the work of Charles Williams, Owen Barfield, Rudolf Steiner and others, this present text offers an appealing presentation of what is possible in the next stages of planetary evolution. In these reflections on the iconic potential (iconicity) of language, what is offered is a consideration of the "paradise consciousness" associated always and everywhere with intimations of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

The first virtually all-jet war, the conflict in Korea saw F-86 Sabres of the USAF take on MiG-15s of the North Korean and Chinese air forces. Although the Allied pilots were initially taken aback by the ability of the communist fighter in combat, sound training and skilful leadership soon enabled Sabre pilots to dominate the dogfights over the Yalu River. In all 39 F-86 pilots achieved ace status, and a number of these are profiled in this volume, as are notable pilots from the US Navy, Marine Corps and Royal Navy and, for the first time, the handful of MiG-15 aces.

2017
pokkari
On April 4, 1968, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., arrived in Indiana to campaign for the Indiana Democratic presidential primary. As Kennedy prepared to fly from an appearance in Muncie to Indianapolis, he learned that civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., had been shot outside his hotel in Memphis, Tennessee. Before his plane landed in Indianapolis, Kennedy heard the news that King had died. Despite warnings from Indianapolis police that they could not guarantee his safety, and brushing off concerns from his own staff, Kennedy decided to proceed with plans to address an outdoor rally to be held in the heart of the city's African American community. On that cold and windy evening, Kennedy broke the news of King's death in an impassioned, extemporaneous speech on the need for compassion in the face of violence. It has proven to be one of the great speeches in American political history. Marking the 40th anniversary of Kennedy's Indianapolis speech, this book explains what brought the politician to Indiana that day, and explores the characters and events of the 1968 Indiana Democratic presidential primary in which Kennedy, who was an underdog, had a decisive victory.

From the 1960 John F. Kennedy presidential campaign to the signing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy and the Department of Justice worked tirelessly to change the climate of civil rights in the nation. This book explores how the Kennedy brothers and leaders such as Martin Luther King, Jr., John Lewis and James Meredith, among others, pushed for change at a critical time. Through an analysis of White House memoranda, speeches, telephone conversations and recorded discussions as well as secondary sources, this study explores Robert Kennedy's role in key events of the civil rights movement, which include the Freedom Rides in 1961, the Ole Miss crisis in 1962 and the Birmingham campaign and March on Washington in 1963. The combined efforts of the Kennedys and these leaders helped change the atmosphere in the nation to one of acceptance and opportunity for African Americans and other minorities.
