#teilhard — Public Fediverse posts

L'appuntamento nel bel Comune di Diano Marina su invito dell'Associazione Italiana Teilhard de Chardin è per me ormai una piacevole occasione di confronto ed incontro, tanto da superare di buon grado la piccola fatica del viaggio.

Se siete da quelle parti a metà settembre, vi aspetto volentieri per parlare di spazio, insieme con Ferruccio Ceragioli, un "fisico teologo" che conosco e che stimo molto, per profondità ed apertura.

Ci vediamo a Diano!

A radical vision of prehistory, which Geroulanos charts, emerged in the unlikely world of Roman Catholicism.
It was crafted by the French Jesuit priest ⭐️Pierre Teilhard de Chardin⭐️who spent the 1920s and 1930s digging in Zhoukoudian, China, where paleontologists believed they had discovered the bones of the first humanlike hominid (known at the time as the “Peking Man” and now cataloged as Homo erectus).

In a stream of idiosyncratic texts, Teilhard claimed that all matters, both physical and spiritual, were equal parts of God’s cosmic unity.
No element or creature was superior to another: Humans, fish, and clouds were linked in one destiny.

In Teilhard’s telling, this meant that humanity’s emergence in prehistoric times (against the church’s formal position, he accepted evolution theory) was but a passing stage in the world’s broader progression.
Rather than being God’s chosen species, who could mindlessly plunder the globe’s resources,
humans had to put their unique ability to think and speak in the service of their surroundings.

Teilhard optimistically prophesied that humanity would ultimately be superseded when all existence would converge in what he called “the Omega point.”
At that stage, all creatures would achieve a mystical unity with God and overcome their limitations.

All of this is abstract and fantastical, but Teilhard’s ideas resonated with readers who hoped to create a more just and equal world.
Many thinkers, politicians, and activists found in his narratives of humanity’s genesis a way to imagine new solidarities (and they subverted the Vatican’s ban on his works by printing and circulating them privately).
As historian Sarah Shortall has recently shown, the most important of those was 🔸Léopold Sédar Senghor, 🔸the anti-colonial and anti-racist poet who rose to become Senegal’s first elected president.
Senghor, who was also a devout Catholic, claimed that Teilhard’s work offered a new horizon beyond racism and exploitation.
It explained how humanity’s deep past could lead it toward “a new humanism,” in which “all races” and “all nations” lived as equals.
More recently, with the onslaught of climate change, environmentalists have drawn on Teilhard to articulate a vision of a sustainable future.
For them, his narration of humanity’s origins explains what we owe the world around us.
Rather than a separate species, we can understand ourselves as equal members in a vast and diverse biosphere.

A Torino il 10 maggio, tra amici per parlare di cose importanti e belle #teilhard

Near Death Experiences and Out of Body Experiences have been studied & documented by several professionals in a variety of fields.
Ian Todd, PhD in immunology, wrote a book (SacraSage) on the topic.
I’m currently excepting that consciousness is integrated in our matter. Question: How can a human experience a valid, spiritual Out of Body/Near End-of-life encounter with Divinity if our consciousness and our physical body are interwoven in creative affect? What are the theological implications especially related to the body’s participation in creative consciousness? #Teilhard #NDE #consciousness #philosophy #theology
