Logopraxis Newsletter Dec 2021
|
|
As we head into Advent my prayer is that it might, despite the external uncertainties, be a time of deepening our sense of Lord's presence directing and guiding all things. Much of our work with the Word in Logopraxis is a work of withdrawing from what the appearances of the senses would have us believe is real to simply rest in what the Word offers us as a work focus. The ability the Word gives us to turn our attention to interior heavenly realities is truly a wonderful gift if we can receive it, for it is there that we find the Lord continually being born anew.

"...when one turns to the Lord, the veil (of appearances) is taken away. Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord." 2Cor 3:16-18.

Arcana Coelestia 6138. And we shall live, and our ground, servants to Pharaoh. That this signifies total submission, is evident from the signification of “we and our ground,” as being the receptacles of good and of truth (as just above, see n. 6135-6137); and from the signification of “servants,” as being to be without freedom from man’s own (see n. …

Arcana Coelestia 6112... A memory-knowledge is said to be true and adaptable that has not been darkened by fallacies, which, so long as they cannot be dispelled, render the memory-knowledge unadaptable; and so also is a memory-knowledge which has not become perverted by applications to falsities and to evils by others or by oneself, for when these have once been …
