But it has continued to be used but, perhaps, with little publicity [thank goodness!]. I note that in Karen Armstrong's, "The Bible - The Biography" she talks about 'lectio divina', a process in which the devotees are encouraged to imagine themselves actually being present at the scene being studies. <br /><br />The same process comes into play in guided imagery, or so-called fantasy journeys, that Jung describes. And you will know, of course, that I have talked about this in my side-bar, "Something Extraordinary." There can come that wonderful moment when something else, something extraordinary happens, when one is 'taken over' on the inner journey.<br /><br />I believe this meditative, inner journeying is one of the greatest divine gifts we have.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09028121782477111901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2683318922990064067.post-60643414417122885042017-01-10T11:53:54.325+01:002017-01-10T11:53:54.325+01:00Thank you Natalie, and agreed.Thank you Natalie, and agreed.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09028121782477111901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2683318922990064067.post-2373298516570655732017-01-10T06:58:45.398+01:002017-01-10T06:58:45.398+01:00Hi Tom,
Without wishing to “categorise” your tho...Hi Tom, <br />Without wishing to “categorise” your thoughts they do sound remarkably similar to the “dreamtime” of the Australian aborigine, the oldest known culture on the globe. As you know they have existed here for maybe 50,000 years or more and possibly brought with them that same culture dating back hundreds of thousands of years. Setting out in migratory tribes, as they first looked in wondrous excitement at the stars, this no doubt prompted them to paint eclipses on the rock walls of caves, and gave rise to the idea the land and all this is, is indivisible to the tribe’s existence. <br />Best wishes <br />Lindsay Byrneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11030132436987752741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2683318922990064067.post-40654127746081292522017-01-10T05:35:01.735+01:002017-01-10T05:35:01.735+01:00Yes to this post, Tom, and to Susan's quote.Yes to this post, Tom, and to Susan's quote.Natalie d'Arbeloffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07757081405040926647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2683318922990064067.post-84089992510973759532017-01-09T20:21:59.679+01:002017-01-09T20:21:59.679+01:00How lovely, Susan.
