The Heart of Matter
A New Email Series
The Heart of Matter is a contemplative email series from the Center for Christogenesis.
Designed to deepen both the reader’s understanding and their spiritual practice, each email will focus on a passage of Ilia’s work that expands the Center’s vision, while providing practical instruction to move these insights from the head to the heart. Through sustained contemplation on the intellectual import and spiritual potency of these passages, your understanding and practice will expand.
Given another picture of distant stars, one wonders again at the nature of God. Who and what is God, who can be so vast and yet can be personal to us? We are certainly far beyond the old man with a beard sitting on a cloud, as in some religious art. What is God? Energy? Some sort of “force”? And yet we believe God is love. We believe, yet it is hard to wrap our human imagination around what we are talking about. I take some comfort in Augustine’s thought that, if you think you understand, then it is not God you are talking about.
My studies in theology made no sense, until I began to increase my knowledge and understanding of science.
Knowledge of the sciences may well be fundamental to theology but it is not enough. We need the arts as well, and religion as positive community action also.
