Eyes see, ears hear! 3rd Sunday of Advent -December 14, 2025

We start with a gorgeous poem from Marci. Our question is: what is a memory of seeing the splendor, the glory of God? Laura talks about the term Jung used for this – the “numinous” which comes from numinosum – Rudolf Otto’s term (in his Idea of the Holy) for the inexpressible, mysterious, terrifying, directly experienced and pertaining only to the divinity.Marci mentions experiments of putting monitors on plants and recording their “song.” We explore how dreamwork can help bring sight to my own psychological/spiritual blindness. Laura mentions the Jungian Marie Louise Von Franz and the I Ching, a symbolic tool for understanding the flow of life. We ask ourselves: what would it mean to live with the same commitment as John the Baptist?Sunday ReadingsThank you for listening! Questions? Comments? Bring your voice to the conversation.
