I appreciated GG’s fine meditation on sensuality and spirituality in yesterday’s DM along with his commentaries on the book Ta***ic Jesus: The Erotic Heart of Early Christianity. (I had forgotten I had written a Preface to it, actually.) I am reminded of the non-dualist attitude toward the body,...

James Reho’s project (see DMs for April 21-22) derives directly, by his own admission, from Matthew Fox’s joining of sensuality with spirituality, or rather can be seen as a specific response to Matthew’s call, which in Reho’s case becomes a Deep Ecumenism journey into Christianity and Tantr...

Early in his career, Matthew Fox wrote: No one who has admitted he or she is vulnerable to goose bumps can any longer believe in the violence that separates spirit and body, spirituality and sensuality. * James Reho takes this sentence as the starting point of his exploration into Ta***ic Christiani...

A friend of mine, Robert Kramer (a scholar of Otto Rank), lived in Hungary from 2015 to 2025. He holds dual citizenship with Hungary and the United States and is fluent in Hungarian. He shared his thoughts about the recent Hungarian election—and its implications for America. I am thrilled that Orb...

In the first chapter of his Danser sa vie, Roger Garaudy traces a spirituality of dance which is a spirituality of life. He quotes Ananda Coomaraswamy extensively with reference to the unity between human beings and nature/cosmos, which dance represents and enacts: Within this expression of the orga...

These days I am obsessed — as most of you, I believe — by the theme of resistance. How to resist individually and collectively to the present rule of lunatics whose level of arrogance has become astonishing. Much can be done and should be done in the line of analysis: What kind of social malaise...

Do I live in Paradise? The majestic linden tree that lives in front of my house, and which last month was naked, is now showing off its Spring dress in its full glory. The hills are so incredibly green! It’s a vital, shouting, joyful green that only the Hildegardian word viriditas (“verdancy”)...

Last Tuesday, Trump declared, “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.” His calling for the annihilation of a civilization if he did not get his way, many recognize as a war crime in itself. It is certainly not the language of a responsible leader or a decent human...
