Ep 22 The Danger of Inflation, the Power of Gifts - 14th Sunday - July 6, 2025

14th Sunday in the Kingdom of Heaven is Now.We discuss the power of home. Laura mentions "nous," a concept she's heard from Ilia Delio. Heavy stuff. "Pierre Teilhard de Chardin saw the emergence of a new type of person with computer technology, an evolution of consciousness that led to a new level of cosmic life, what he called the “noosphere” (from the Greek “nous” or mind). The noosphere is the natural culmination of biological evolution, an organic whole, now on the level of thought, destined for some type of superconvergence and unification."-- Ilia Delio. Also the important concept of Inflation. (Jungian term).[Inflation] should not be interpreted as … conscious self-aggrandizement. Such is far from being the rule. In general we are not directly conscious of this condition at all, but can at best infer its existence indirectly from the symptoms. These include the reactions of our immediate environment. Inflation magnifies the blind spot in the eye. [“The Self,” CW 9ii, par. 44.] -- from Daryl Sharp’s Jung LexiconAnother mention of the book, The Gift, by Lewis HydeThe Sunday ReadingsThank you for listening! Questions? Comments?
