Today we’ll look at five more tercets in Canto 16, where Cacciaguida starts telling about his life and origins in more detail from old Florence. (Starts at 1:10.)
And we’ll have a brief update on the investments as well, with chip makers and bitcoin crossing $50k again.
Enjoy!
Today we’ll look at the “new words” from the Pilgrim to Cacciaguida, in a more elevated and lofty, but also joyful and delightful tone. (Starts at 2:10)
We’ll also briefly update on the Investments News, and some thoughts on the coming week.
Enjoy!
Today we’ll start a new canto in Paradiso, Canto 16 – where Dante is both being humble and prideful at the same time, with his tercets about the little “noble blood” that he and Cacciaguida shared. Even as he says, that this should should not be an element of the spiritual life.
Enjoy!
Morning! Today we’ll have another snapshot review of the investments three weeks in (overall up 2%; combined crypto, stocks and index funds).
And we’ll look at our ongoing exchange with Dr. Phil Cary, Eastern University in Pennsylvania, about the Earthly and Heavenly perspectives on Being, and the eternal presence and relevance of bigger immaterial/spiritual forces (Angels), in the world.
Happy Weekend!
Today we’ll look at the ending of Canto 15 in Paradiso, with a very brief overview of Cacciaguida’s life, and why his blessed soul is now in the Sphere of Mars.
Enjoy!
Today we’ll look at a few more tercet about the more virtuous old roots of Florence in the 11 hundreds, and also look at how history often moves in cycles or as a pendulum over centuries – between healthy and happy and constructive habits and values, towards decay and destructive values, before it starts improving again.
Enjoy!
Morning! Today we’ll look at our ongoing exchange with Prof. Fr. Barzaghi in Bologna, and the importance of recognizing the bigger shaping forces beyond humanity – something the early humanists likely made a mistake in dismissing, longer term.
We’ll also look at how Cacciaguida describes the “ancient”/old Florence from the early 11 hundreds, as a more peaceful, virtuous and happy culture – before the advent of enormous wealth and power in the rising merchant guilds, and moving it towards being a significant City-State power in Europe at the time. (Starts at 6:50.)
Enjoy!
Good morning!
Today we’ll look at more interpretations of the “mysterious” third circle at the end of the Sphere of the Sun, this time from our exchange with Dr. Phil Cary, at Eastern University Pennsylvania.
And we’ll look at the first question from the Pilgrim in Canto 15, and discover who the first light and Ancestral Spirit in the Shere of Mars is.
Enjoy!
Today we’re looking at the first of two email responses this week, about the mysterious third circle of lights/subsistences at the end of the Sun. Professor in Theology and Philosophy and Dominican Priest Giuseppe Barzaghi shares his thoughts.
And we’ll look at more of the opening speech from the first light in the Sphere of Mars, encouraging the Pilgrim to voice/sound his questions, and referring to him as both “my blood” and “child”.
Enjoy!
Today we’ll look at the first words of the Pilgrim’s Ancestry and Lineage in Canto 15 in Paradiso, in Latin, and the effect this has on his soul and spiritual life. (From 2:10)
But first we’ll have a quick snapshot/update on the investment projects after two weeks (not investment advice), and how to think about this longer term, for example over twenty years.
Happy Friday!
