<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: cyan; font-size: large;">The ‘dragon’ theme in these works is a
reference to nature and our metaphysical, technological relationships with
nature. From a Greek name, St. George (Gk.=earth worker) of dragon slaying fame
is anthropologically the agriculturist or farmer who <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">tamed</i> nature by developing agriculture. He/She represents a major
technological step in the human project. My interest in George, from the other
end of a spectrum, is our understanding of our own powers and purpose in
relationship to our natural and spiritual origin. My 'dragon' usage derives from an all night vigil above Assisi, Italy to honor the Great Saint. At one point in the night, a voice in my mind said "If you turn around you will see them." I did, and that was the beginning of my fascination with 'energy places.' GENIUS LOCI. Assisi has many dragon motif decorations. The two blended in my imagination to describe the fascination for many years.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the ‘motion’ of this nature painting that reminds me of the movement of a Water
Strider, the long legged, lightweight insect that flickers across woodland
ponds and streams. Yet, as well, the painting still suggests a more cosmic
ambiance--and a plain character of royal significance in literature. Though my interest in dragons has nothing to
do with fantasy novels. It is associated with experiences of the ‘<i>genius loci’</i> described in the
pilgrimages of LETTER TO A BISHOP in the NEPSIS FOUNDATION.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: cyan; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Your ruminations remind me of some of those of the early Protestants in the book I'm reading, </span><u style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Reformations</u><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">. There isn't much new under the sun. Their ideas recalled various heresies of the early church and those of the present world. The book is reinforcing my ideas that truth is hard to come by, and that the clear and absolute definitions of the church have to be rethought in many cases. Forgive me if I don't go into details; life is short and my energy is low. This is not to say that your ideas are heresies; far from it; many of them are logical and worthy of trust. So much has to do with our subjective dispositions. I'm fed up with such things as Pius XII and his definition of the Assumption. Not that it isn't true; but to force Catholics into a belief that even Catholic scholars can't find early evidence for, with the threat of eternal hellfire if you don't believe; that's what leads the church into disrepute. And what prompted him was an alleged vision of the virgin!!! Dogma posited on a private revelation (if it was real; no one can either prove or disprove it). This is not to denigrate the Virgin, the real Virgin that is, not the holy picture image of her.</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">C.B.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I begin this letter on a positive note. Since most of the contents herein are dealing with problems, I do not want you to think that these characterize my ministry in the Church. I am very happy in the Church. I am very happy with the people of my parish. My appreciation continues to grow for the parish community and the sacraments that I am privileged to celebrate with them.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">In the May '87 issue of Smithsonian Magazine an article credits the Biblical account of the Garden of Eden with historical veracity in the sense that it depicts poetically an anthropological reality, a human shift from the relatively natural innocence of more primitive "hunters and gatherers" to the "technological" development of agricultural methods and other "civilized" crafts. If we entertain this scenario for a moment we can extrapolate by noting that we are at the other end of the spectrum of human history. If the Fall in Genesis described the human urge to power, to be in control of environment (agriculture), of good and evil (morals), of life itself; if the Fall described the human urge to reject, or rather to claim the efficacy of the divine, then we are at the other end of the spectrum of human history, since now, with the advent of science, we have the powers not only to improve the world materially but also to destroy it.</span></div>

This letter explores both an authoritarian neurosis in myself and the Church- As well as child molestation and a system of Catholic education that supports rather than opposes the real effects of the Fall. (Perhaps, "Shift" would be the better term.) Since the concerns of this letter from 1986 remain largely unresolved, let me 'begin again,' but from the other end of this Nepsis process. </span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #f1c232; mso-spacerun: yes;">Central to my perspective is "God's sacrifice" (See "Brilliant Passages.") Our "dignity" consists in returning the favor by working to make our experience of the world 'sacred.' Art, Mysticism and Science are primal, inextricable, functions in such a world view. (Compassion emotes from real mystical experience- is a suggestive experience of 'something more.' Theories of individual worth and communal viability abound, but both remain on the 'endangered list.') </span><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;">In the Idea of the Son of God, Godhead reveals itself as inextricably, intimately in union with Creation.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;">Life provides the 'way.'</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"> </span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The
re-urbanization of Europe in the late Middle Ages, pushes God further and
further away into a distant Heaven to be obtained by an obscure moral and/or devotional perfectionism that is only satisfied by death. The Renaissance, Commercial
interests, soon joined by the Enlightenment and Scientific Revolution, slowly
replace spiritual immediacy of high Medieval mysticism. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Even today, hopeful lip
service is paid to the Divine Presence, but just enough to get back to the real
business of running highly monetized institutions. Spirituality becomes a
convivial grease for the skids of Big Business- even small business- the real
interest that dominates contemporary consciousness. So much is sacrificed
for the ‘bottom line.’ -Including the very environment and climate that
gives us a place to be. Its wanton destruction continues, without taking
the time to notice its significance in the construction of ‘who and how we
are.’ <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">There
are many who have resisted this trend- with mixed results. As well, there are great accomplishments, beside the dominance of gross materialism, in
this new age that I admire and in which I participate. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">But Mysticism,
like Abstract Art, refuses to die. Re-discovering its wonders, and core
requirements, is the Nepsis task. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: cyan;">Painting #6 represents a series of many works that stretches over several years. The main formal elements here are amorphic color and space in counterpoint relationship with hard edge, linear and geometric embellishments. It is about the relationship between the general context of being and specific experience as open and luminous. This subject might also be likened to the <i>Sipahpuni</i> (Hopi), the point of emergence from mythic underworlds as well as the physical and psychic womb, to levels of increasing realization. Thus, this painting indicates secondly, a poignant moment of transition in physical and personal evolution guided by what I might have called back then, the Dragon Lord, i.e., a salvific, catalytic function of Spirit in Nature; God, if you like, or Grace. (I skirt here the word, "destiny", purposely because of its static, fatalistic implication.)</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large; line-height: 18px;">In truth, Nepsis is a <i>bundle</i> of related themes that progress a philosophical/theological perspective- a developing worldview. One might say that it's issues begin to emerge around 1970, come to a head 2005 but really climax 2010 with an ongoing consideration of some of its more challenging issues. In collage, it was Nature and Person, Person and persons, biology and persons, Person(s) and Culture(s). Also, I was one of the few in my art department in the early 1970s fascinated by God... I was mostly trained by the well-known, mature students of Abstract Expressionists who respected my work- or came to respect it before I left school. We learned to draw from still-lifes, nature, the nude figure as was done since the Renaissance. We started with charcoal, pen and ink, pencil for thousands of hours. Then, continued with color and paint. For literature, we started over with grammar, syntax and semantics- etymology... Dostoevsky, Joyce, Proust, and "'Anyone lived in a pretty how town, with up so floating many bells down...'"</span></div>

It was a great and light filled moment for me- and others I hope. While at the seminary, I was also introduced to Raimundo Panikkar, a world famous scholar and spiritual leader. He's well known as a Gifford Lecturer along with Niels Bohr and Albert Schweitzer, <i>et al.</i> He was a <i>peritus</i> at Vatican II, fluent in 12 languages, published in 6 and until he died last year, was </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">a </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">friend and true spiritual guide. During my last visit to his home in the eastern Pyrenees, I saw a letter from His Holiness Benedict XVI complimenting Raimun on a recent publication. Raimun was beyond right or left wing politics. While at the seminary, I visited India for the first time, inspired by Panikkar and others, to research Nyingma Buddhist practices as an independent study. </span></span></div>

I.e., one who seeks to go to the Holy Land. That is, the Holy Land of the Heart- the uniate indwelling of the Holy Spirit in each 'moment' and place of creation.

Theology is a wonder. Service is a worthy dedication. The sacramental vision of the Church is radiant. Praxis (of religion in the Church) is another question- mixed, like most human endeavors. Occasionally, its the best. Aesthetics and ethics are still the necessary paragons of pastimes... if we are to have time to pass.</span></div>

(1) Perhaps because it took more than 40 year to complete what organically started in 1973, climaxed in 2005 with a denouement that extends into 2013. (2) Perhaps because I wanted it to be so intricate for the sake of those dedicated souls- students, aficionados, who are truly interested, who like a challenge- there is much to explore. If not my work, then the sources themselves.</span><span style="font-family: "times";"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times";">Sexuality is going to be essential to any consideration that involves the biosphere. It’s easy to sensationalize and to abuse. Hard to be honest about it. As a vowed celibate, disciplines and theologies about sexuality are an important part of my life. As well, a large part of my formal studies for my dissertation was Buddhist Tantra in which sexual imagry is openly used to symbolize ultimate and universal Union- for individuals and all reality. Also we touched on Shamanism which offers a wide spectrum of insights about sexuality. I have personally believed the Church’s teaching about states of prayer transcendent of something so natural as coital arousal, but doubted it in fact. I’ve since experienced such states for myself and am confirmed to believe fully in the Origin of Life precedent to biology and the rest of physics as well. </span><span style="font-family: "times";"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times";">I’ve tried, intuitively, to grasp the core or sense of the last 50,000 years of human spiritual and cultural awareness. It’s an absurd ambition. Bound to fail and be humiliated for such pretention! Except that I possess an artist’s knack for the intuitive and abstract- and I had in this the advantage of world-class scholars, monks, priests and secular experts to critique my intuitive and scholarly choices. Finally, the art- the paintings and the ritual pilgrimages guided me. I didn’t know that was my ambition at the time. But I believe that’s what’s happened to produce 5000 pages of peer-examined prose, extensive formal studies, about 100 poems, 300 paintings, et al, and 20 years of hitch-hiking pilgrimages that are the content of the NEPSIS project. Maybe after all, these are just some nice paintings, poems, and stories. Some adventure. And I’m just a nice man who took care of his mother ‘til she died- you judge. If you can...</span><span style="font-family: "times";"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">That was a great turning point for me in my work- all developing from strongly Lyric, Abstract Expressionist sources. The “<a href="http://www8080.nepsis.com:8080/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=997185" style="text-decoration: none;">First Series</a>” was about 100 paintings and dominates my work for several years, 1973-1979, along with poems and prose fleshing out the context. The paintings, in open areas of free flowing color and space live in counter point to more specific embellishments of hard edge, geometric shapes- Absolute to Specific. There were several later variations. </span></span></div>

Then, slowly I just started painting anew when I was in the seminary and given space to work and continued from there. I had by then lived two years in monasteries and been accepted in the seminary, met Panikkar, been to India, become a "Holy Lander" -The hitch-hiking 'quests' became 'pilgrimage' quite sincerely. For this, the Holy Land is the 'Indwelling of the Holy Spirit' in one's heart. Though my practice has as much in common with Animist and Shamanistic traditions in Nepsis. Panikkar became my 'spiritual director' and friend until he died in 2010- still I hope.</span></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc; font-size: large;">I often paint in series, the members of which should be kept together as much as possible- as if they were one painting. They provoke prayerful considerations and as well, are left over, mystical objects in the sense that as products of my psyche more than anything else, the objects of religious ritual as priest and mystic. This, since I seldom engage in specific ritual alterations of consciousness any longer- I’m not sure why not- when I try, I find that I interrupt something already in process... <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arialmt" , sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">“February, 2006. I started from Morro Bay, on California’s middle coast. I first just took a drive east over those beautiful hills between the sea and California’s San Joaquin (Central) Valley. Then, I decided to stay over-night near Button Willow in the Valley. Then, for reasons beyond my <i>ken</i>, I continued through Bakersfield, where I saw a young Harvey Canady walking down the street- a college friend of great intimacy. He’d been dead for several years...<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arialmt" , sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">But I felt driven on in mourning- my mother, Georgia and brother died the previous fall. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arialmt" , sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">... as I approach Spider Rock in Canyon de Chelly, northeast Arizona, I am in tears of mourning for the deaths of my mother, and brother the previous fall. I’d had a worrisome dream that previous Christmas morning about my mother doing poorly in the afterlife. I’d made little offerings in the past at this place because Grandmother Spider, a creator deity in the Native American pantheon, is reputed to live there. I’m a believing Roman Catholic Priest, but I’m still reverent of other insights, personalities and symbols. Symbols of Deity. I'd made many visits in the past wherein nothing had happened.... <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arialmt" , sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">This time, Grandmother Spider took over my consciousness, and took pity on me in such sadness. She clearly indicated I should look up the right hand canyon (Canyon de Chelly splits just there at Spider Rock). I did so. And there benevolent Changing Woman, also a Navajo deity, appeared standing behind my mother. My deceased mother was protected (saved) by these two representatives of feminine deity. Georgia was holding a box with golden light inside. She was well. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arialmt" , sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">This story is interesting to me in that a believing Catholic can experience a complete transliteration of a salvific moment. That is, my mind and heart spontaneously translated a salvific intuition through another religion's symbols and divinities. Rather like St. Bernadette did with the translation of Immaculate Conception from the "Beautiful Woman" of her original vision at Lourdes! I suppose this is possible because these are sets of symbols that refer to our experience of ineffable realities... </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">-Combination of spiritual 'Presence,' plus a human mechanism that immediately interprets spiritual encounters into familiar images and ideas??</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The original accounts of study and
spiritual experience were completely sincere, factual.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">(See “NEPSIS NARRATIVES: Pilgrim Chapters”) The
first letters to ‘a bishop’ were formal, proper- free
from artifice or deceit; proceeding from genuine feeling and experience.</span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">(See “Introduction: Letter to a Bishop” UCB copy.)
</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">But after that relationship achieved a
plaintive quality as described in that “Introduction,” these communiqués became
literary exercises- Some hundreds- thousands of pages, if you count the Fiction
experiments.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=6843087323342905836#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "times new roman";">[5]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a> </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">It is from this combination of

“Eagle Rock,” “Memo to a Bishop,” “Brilliant Passages,” “Paean’s Song,” and now
this “Case for Religion” top off LETTER TO A BISHOP, the whole Nepsis project, with both ecclesial
and secular projections, including paranormal phenomena and the usual critical
constraints of reason.<br />

Where I still wondered intellectually, I finally turned to the works of my teacher, Raimon Panikkar, as a recognized <i>peritus ecclesia et mundi</i>.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">My interests include our place in nature, the real
Order of things and certain biological and spiritual imperatives.</span><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="color: #1a1a1a;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: x-small;">[7]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span><span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: "arial"; font-size: large;"> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Sexuality is unavoidable as

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The Church as a private organization and independent state
has the right to organize itself according to its own lights.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I experience very much the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">inner radiance</i> generated by the

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">not one's doctrine primarily, or system of symbols, that makes the
difference to me- as remarkable as some of these are. The 'image
forming' and 'idea generating' capacities of the human mind express this best as
they attempt a reunion of perceptive elements. This real “visionary
consciousness,”</span><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: x-small;">[8]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">
the most satisfying of human capacities, is not just a matter of ethics or
moral character.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">It is a real organ of
human perception, nearly atrophied in our times.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I understand the problem of verifying such
phenomena, but the point remains. </span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">So, I
went to great trouble over several decades to reanimate this perceptive organ
that was already vigorously active in me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">As I mentioned in an email to friends a few days ago, “The inner landscape

<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 139.5pt;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">This current within the flood of those
intentions re the <i>Muladhara</i> themes is of course central to any biosphere as I announced in “Memo to a
Bishop.” It’s a serious problem
in our litigious age- for good reason. The psychic secrets of creation
smile there- express themselves in the character of those very states mentioned
above. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">“... the Buddhist idea

I don’t have extra energy left for
the external functions of religious or academic institutions, or any other for
that matter. This is not denial- Just an
admission of age and other personal limitations. But before the end that my mercurial health
portends, I want to be clear about certain important issues- to ‘wrap up,’ so
to speak.<span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: x-small;">[11]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
That being said, I do not consider the essential perspectives of the

I have abandoned this project repeatedly for something more
‘normal.’ But, I have been repeatedly
brought back by the ‘inspiration,’ original intuition, that roused it from the beginning-
until finally I have to admit that it is my life’s work. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 139.5pt;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I am suggesting different levels
of initiation, spiritual accomplishment and responsibility as a norm of
expectation that allows for normal physical, psychological and spiritual
growth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This implies a world-view that
includes everything, excludes nothing in a creation informed from a Divine
matrix.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">For example, a curiously

Theopoeisis<br />
A New Innocence<br />
Oil on Canvas 12' x 8' 1996-99<br />
When Adam and Eve are found hiding from God in the Garden of Eden, God replies
to Adam’s complaint about being naked with the above query. "Who told you
you were naked?" Before the Resurrection and after the creation of Adam
and Eve, this question might be the most important moment described in the
Bible. How do we lose our innocence, i.e. our natural relationship with the
divine spirit… and everything else? This painting in combination with #93, #43,
(and #84-88), comment upon the ‘answer’ to the problem of the Fall in
Genesis--The <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Christos</i>, or our <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">christic</i> identity—or as Panikkar would
have it, a "New Innocence." The old innocence is lost. It cannot be
reclaimed by modernity. But there is the possibility of a "new" state
that comes from the influence all the "wisdom traditions" of the past
and the altruistic intentions of our own secular age. In relationship to the
"New Innocence" is the ancient Church teaching about <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Theopoeisis</i>, the ‘Rhythm of God,’ or the
grace of the divine spirit in creation. This refers to an early, predominant
teaching, or spiritual method, in the Church concerning how such original
innocence is rediscovered in one’s life. To live life according to the Rhythm
of God, is to discover one’s true identity, and the ‘sacred’ as the completion
of nature. ...<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I wrote an ‘Apology’ (See <a href="http://www.nepsis.com/nep_web/PRIEST'S%20CONFESSION.htm"><span style="color: #0033ee; mso-fareast-language: JA;">A Priest's Confession</span></a> in NEPSIS Section III) in which I explained (complained?) that due to my identity as a Catholic priest, I could not explore more freely, with
my usual experiential method, some of the ancient practices of our core
biological identity.<o:p></o:p><br />

<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #9fc5e8;"> [It should be noted that for the rare
individuals who might be capable of learning and practicing the Tantric genital
yogas, it usually means foregoing sexual climax. (Popular interest drops like Ice Age
temperatures upon realization of this fact.)
One might rouse all those energies associated with the prime biological
imperative in the propagation of species, but at the point of climax and
ejaculation, a male practitioner would have developed the capacity to stop! Then, at this most poignant moment, turn the
energies back up (rather than out of) the mystical central nervous system (<i>Sushumna, Ida, Pingala</i>- etc.) to seek
union with the other major centers in the psychic body, especially the Crown
Chakra at the top of the head for purposes of Enlightenment, resolution of
duality, completion- in those highly nuanced systems of Asia. There are other uses sometimes made of these
re-directed energies, (sex magic) but these are practiced only with the most
severe warnings about self and other destruction. This is an activity for the most dedicated
and disciplined practitioner. This requires the purest of intentions. This is
not a refuge for hedonists. dilettantes, or the merely self-indulgent.] </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 188.0pt;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I contend that the experience of
the Church in prayer has debated and explored these topics for 20
centuries.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">It has incorporated previous
experience of the human quest and turned it to the 'service of God.'</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Given such depth of prayer, we should be the most
secure, the least reactionary, most honest, of populations. And given the antique Christian wisdoms of
the Nepsis processes, we should be so rife with self-knowledge- </span>(at least, as
to emit calm humor in the face of challenge.)<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Certainly, such firm ground offers perfect freedom to explore not only
the most important personal things, but such salient and poignant themes as
stir the passions of whole cultures, indeed, provide the binding guarantees of
civilization.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Thus. I felt the liberty to
take up the Nepsis task as a priest.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 188.0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 188.0pt;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The roots of ‘identity’ are not
easily dug up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is resistance from
every level to explore ‘who we are.’<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> And I’m afraid that we begin to lose some of our deeper identity patterns, ‘who we
are,' as a truly religious people with roots in the Divine intention and the
evolution of creation- especially the last 10,000 years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> See Memo. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">This loss is in favor of an economic order, a tragic loss for religion.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Rather, Bishop, to protect our populations, properties

mood in this age of business and technology.</span><span style="font-size: large;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc; font-size: large;"><span style="mso-fareast-language: JA;">"Nepsis considers
sexual issues from several perspectives. One is from the perspective and
experience of a Catholic priest. Then, a complex of heterosexuality,
homosexuality (and abstinence) is considered from a 'chi' point of view. That
is, the flow and intent of psychic energies in the human body and the world.
This is at least part of the basis of several major worldviews, such as Taoism
and Buddhism—See the "Cemetery Circle" in any Tibetan "Uncommon
Protective </span><a href="http://www.nepsis.com/nep_web/phdappen4MandI.htm"><span style="mso-fareast-language: JA; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">Mandala</span></a><span style="mso-fareast-language: JA;">." <u>Sexuality
takes on a completely different meaning in this context</u> than it would in a
more Occidental, clinical or critical evaluation.</span><span style="font-family: "times"; mso-bidi-font-family: Times; mso-fareast-language: JA;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc; font-size: large;"><span style="mso-fareast-language: JA;">In the Church,
'celibacy' is a technical term for the ‘unmarried state’- one of two options:
Marriage and Celibacy. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>'Abstinence' is a
'yogic' or 'ascetic's' practice—largely monastic in origin in the West. In part, at least,
abstinence is used to obtain certain "clear light" states of
consciousness of great beauty and perhaps is necessary for 'satisfactions,' or
salvation, otherwise unobtainable. 'Chastity' is the over-arching condition or
'gift' of vast beauty and spiritual power enjoined as a meta-characteristic
that is at once the goal and means of access for the spiritual life. Chastity
is the rule of Love enjoined upon all aspects of experience for the initiate.
(See NEPSIS </span><a href="http://www.nepsis.com/nep_web/Site%20Map.htm"><span style="mso-fareast-language: JA;">Site map</span></a><span style="mso-fareast-language: JA;"> for Nepsis Review August 22, 26, Sept 9th--and
11th, 2001!) It is possible, according to the Christ and others, that
motivations such as lust, sensuality, adultery, or even ordinary biological
drives, may <u>not</u> arise as one is engulfed by these other states of
consciousness, prayer or awareness- A rare, ideal condition seldom obtained, perhaps. But according
to the pertinent lore, it is available and necessary to all.</span><span style="font-family: "times"; mso-bidi-font-family: Times; mso-fareast-language: JA;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The secular and
scientific worlds do not 'own' sexuality-- no one suspects a gynecologist of
depravity, or crime in the normal pursuit their particular, rather narrow,
'search for the real' -in the science of their discipline. Religion, which is the cohesive matrix that by its very
nature includes </span><i style="font-size: x-large;">everything</i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">, must also be free to explore and thus
discover the truth of </span><i style="font-size: x-large;">things</i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">, all things, including the nuances and powers
of sexuality. </span>That has not been my experience, however.<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Sexuality must be open
to theological analysis beyond the categories of abstinence, marriage or sin,
or scientific bias. From a theist perspective, God made all things innocent,
including sexuality. Our essential, original or primal experience of it is
always </span>pre<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> moral. </span>That is not to say that sexuality cannot be considered as
sacred, mysterious, powerful or culturally volatile such that our participation
in biology does not benefit from guides and parameters of religion. (See in
this regard, Mural of the Resurrection, <a href="http://www.nepsis.com/nep_images/93/gs93_0042e.htm"><span style="mso-fareast-language: JA;">#93a</span></a>, and the mural painted for Sonoma State
University, CA. Newman Hall, "Theopoeisis: Who Told You You Were
Naked" <a href="http://www.nepsis.com/nep_images/94/mini_gs94b.htm"><span style="mso-fareast-language: JA;">#94</span></a>.)<span style="font-family: "times"; font-size: large;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;">It is primarily in
the <a href="http://www.nepsis.com/nep_web/fictionforeword.html"><span style="mso-fareast-language: JA;">novels of NEPSIS: Section II</span></a> that I deal with issues of the spirit and the
flesh. But this complex of topics also has been treated in such works as the
Introduction to <a href="http://www.nepsis.com/nep_web/LET%20TAB%20OF%20CONT%20TIT%20PG.htm"><span style="mso-fareast-language: JA;">LETTER TO A BISHOP</span></a>, "<a href="http://www.nepsis.com/nep_web/MEMO%20TO%20A%20BISHOP.htm"><span style="mso-fareast-language: JA;">Memo to a Bishop</span></a>," "<a href="http://www.nepsis.com/fictions/SATISFACTION%20%20PART%20I+II.htm"><span style="mso-fareast-language: JA;">Interstate Reflection III</span></a>" and in the conclusive prose poem HOW
DIONYSUS SAVED HIS MOTHER FROM HELL: Book III. (See NEPSIS: Section III, #8.)<span style="font-family: "times"; font-size: large;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 188.0pt;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #6fa8dc; mso-fareast-language: JA;">The primal format one finds in study of shamanism usually divides the
subject into two parts: Initiation and Practice. I believe that format still
provides the best organization for the topics of interest here. In fact, most
of the material here could fall under the heading of 'Initiation.' There are
also depicted here the beginnings of a 'practice' that at once describes actual
events, as well as creating a liturgical metaphor for the wide spectrum of
human activity, history and identity.</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: cyan;">“When I first visited this place that we later named Eagle
Rock, I was with my friend and partner. She is a very beautiful woman and rare
for me in that she is one of the few for whom I might have preferred marriage
to celibacy. We remain platonic friends. My mother accompanied me on this
subsequent visit about to be described. This is an important change of
characters for two reasons. One is that my mother, nearly eighty years old, is
not so interested in religion or paranormal phenomena. She prefers politics and
history. Therefore, she is detached from enthusiasm about religious, psychic
and other paracritical phenomena. The second reason is that an archetype showed
itself here. The archetype is, I believe, a catalyst for the paranormal seed of
this story. The archetype is that of mother and son/goddess and hero. (It
amuses me, and others, to think of myself as a hero, but even the least among
us have <em><span style="font-style: normal;">moments</span></em> of glory.
Rather than this being an exercise in self-glorification, I merely point out an
archetype that has been glorified in the past. Heracles="the glory of
Hera," Hero/priest sacrificed in communication with the divine. Jesus and
Mary, Theotokos, is another example. This important dynamic, largely ridiculed
in modern culture, is essential to creativity, mysticism and much traditional
lore... (See <u>The White Goddess</u>, Robert Graves, p. 124. Also see, <u>The
Cyclical Serpent</u>, Paul Halpern, for how Dionysius saves his mother from
Hell. Think of mythic Grendel and his poor Mother in the face of patriarchal
Beowolf propaganda… or a few rogue Catholic priests whose scandalous abuse of
young people is used to defame thousands of innocent priests, celibacy and the
whole Church with its devotion to the Blessed Mother.)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: cyan;">...This "old dispensation" includes a Shamanism
that reaches out from Paleolithic times into our own because there are people
who still live a stone age existence to some degree and because Shamanism is a
trans-temporal function of human personality. This old dispensation also
includes the priesthood. This topical reference might start with the
sacrificial priesthood of the Great Goddess from around the Mediterranean
wherein the hero/sacred king/priest/son/consort is adulated for a time, then
sacrificed to become divine. His initiates would often eat his flesh and blood
in communion with their deity. This function of the mediatory priesthood,
hieros or <em><span style="font-style: normal;">hierophant</span></em>, extends
to the priesthood of Jesus Christ, in the order of mythic "Melquizedek of
old." [See, First Eucharistic Prayer from the Order of the Mass for
Melquizedek reference.] These realizations lead to "Memo to a Bishop"
that heads up the conclusions to this project. See NEPSIS Section III for
"Memo" and "Eagle Rock" in the same section, for 'the
story'… Also see paintings #44 and #80.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

interdisciplinary methodology of art making and theory, critical analysis, as
well as, long courted religious experience and practice, seemed necessary to
examine the otherwise ineffable and pervasive nature of the subject of the Spiritual Life. This
subject engages all of the agencies of human perception and judgment.
This is a subject that seems to revel in ritual and liturgy, art and the most
gestalt experiential religious gestures: Simple compassion… Brave,
solitary missions... Relentless aspirations to Goodness, Beauty and
Truth(s)… <i>Catharsis, kenosis</i> and a nearly tangible sense of the divine presence
in the natural world. This subject seems to resist the shackles of merely
conceptual, critical treatment, or superfluous, popular enthusiasm. But
it exalts in a clear, incisive, poetic depiction of wisdom and affection.</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc; font-size: large;">This is not a sectarian issue though. It is the issue of human identity and power; it is the religious question. "Who is it that climbs up on the Cross?" Why? Or who is the Buddha, for that matter; (Who is it that can help themselves or anyone)? What is a Shaman? Saint? Sorcerer? Poet? Artist? Scientist? What spell is cast to fulfill the human capacity? And who casts it? <span style="font: normal normal normal 7.9px/normal 'Times New Roman';">25 </span>God? Ourselves? To what end?

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-fareast-language: JA;">THE CAVE: Once, in
one of those monasteries mentioned above, during a walk with the leader of the
monastery, the topic of 'the cave' was being discussed. That is, the life
of the hermit, its purpose and justification. Withdrawal. Non-judgment.
Witness to the Holy. The inner life pursued in its simplest and most
intense format found in both Christianity and Buddhism with its roots deep in
the Stone Age and its touch still energizing the Modern Age: States of
consciousness, states of awareness examined; the examination of self until self
is transcended. Nothing in my secular life prepared me for exposure to
this. I was fascinated, charmed, enthralled by the topic. Though completely
nebulous at the time, these and all related topics intrigued me and somehow
seemed to fulfill and extend my humanity just by the questions evoked. I
asked the leader of that group of monks, what was supposed to happen in the
'cave.' He, formerly a chemical engineer, years before he
entered religious life, replied in a challenging, somewhat acerbic tone,
"try it and find out."</span><span style="font-family: "times"; mso-bidi-font-family: Times; mso-fareast-language: JA;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-fareast-language: JA;">There are many means
of access to the 'inner world' of the psyche or the Spirit in addition to
complete withdrawal idealized in the hermitage. The life of a monk or
hermit, it seems, is a highly specialized and rare vocation--even in
monasteries. So, I determined that I would make it my life's project to
'find out' one way or another. I have pursued the topic of this encounter
between worlds as a form of spiritual initiation. </span><span style="font-family: "times"; mso-bidi-font-family: Times; mso-fareast-language: JA;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

construction of this Internet site, as well as in the construct of its various

here is where I ask myself whether we should not enlarge our habitual

as a challenge. The eye of the beholder is part and parcel of a work of art,

Dissertation is unusual both in its contents and in its style. I have followed
its progress, evolution ('involution' as well)... "We" have not
succeeded in bringing the Candidate fully into "our" parameters, hard
and gently as "we" tried. I consider this fact, seen from the other
side, as academic initiation. He has accommodated as much as he could, and yet
he has not yielded the main thrust of this work. I consider this as a victory
for both him and Academia-- specially for him. Then, in recent times Academia
has opened up to such more personal and artistic approaches, even on the field
of philosophy. The least academic attitude is to dictate once and for all what
"academic' means. And yet, there are some criteria we should maintain:
coherence, seriousness, accuracy, honesty, and any dissertation should be an
original contribution to the field of knowledge. I feel that Frost's
investigation meets those criteria. </span><span style="font-family: "times"; mso-bidi-font-family: Times; mso-fareast-language: JA;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

serious. Steve has painstakingly taken the pulse of our modern times and has
tried to mediate between the rational and the irrational, the theoretical and
the artistic. And this he has done from a perspective that stands middle way
between the two... R.P. 1995.</span></span></div>

</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I found important and ancient cultural patterns that integrated

individual satisfactions in our age of relationships opposed to group identity

contemporary conditions that influence ancient Church norms.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My fear is that the culture is forming the
character of the Church rather than the other way around- in fact puts us in a
straight jacket about certain vital issues.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

Paintings #84-87 were painted upon my return from India
in1990. I had journeyed to India to study Tibetan Buddhism (1980): in
particular, Tibetan Mandalas, (1990). Paintings #88 and #94 continue the
influence of this study and practice- depict parts of a personal mandala. (Painting #30, 1980, reflects an early
interest in this complex of themes.) The Mandala in Tantric Yoga, like the
Christian Icon and its theologies, is the Great Art of Divine/Mundane union,
the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Symbolon</i>. This practice and
product requires the reconfiguration of intellect, emotion, imagination and
physicality of the practitioner for re-creation of the whole human person in
its 'true' or 'divine' image. In other words, this attempts full, true
'conversion.' That is the intention for both the practitioner and for the
world. Thus, an actual mandala or madalesque (truly iconic) art carries that
same intention: the ‘salvation’ or ‘realization’ of individual and world by
seeking and telling—being—this truth. This is the touchstone for the whole of
NEPSIS. <o:p></o:p></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6;">"We discovered this place more than fifteen years ago. A friend and I were
researching the phenomenon of 'holy places' that occur and reoccur in the annals
of sacred literature. These are places on the earth reputed to have some
special "energy" or "spiritual presence." Lourdes or Fatima
or Kailash, would be famous examples of such places, but there are many others
mentioned in the sacred texts, or that simply exist without mention. My friend
and I located such a place in the Great Basin region of Nevada, through an
erring process. We wandered aimlessly for several days in the wastelands of
Nevada and California until we spotted it. Rather, it seemed to present itself.
Over the years, and in many subsequent visits, this place displayed various
natural and supernatural characteristics. However, it was two visits in
particular that make the point about art and perception that I intend to
clarify here.<br />
…<br />
My mother and I visited this place of energies, shortly after the summer
solstice, 1996. We arrived at night. This place, we call it Eagle Rock, can be
approached by car along a dirt road to within about 500 yards. I drove slowly,
looking for a place off the dirt road to stop. In the summer, this place is all
dust and scrubby sage. But, the twilight moments of dawn and dusk are precious
and the place radiates a peculiarly pure, psychic energy at that time. As I
rolled to a stop, a bright light flashed from the outcrop of rocks that is the
center of these energies. The brief flash of light in the night was as tall as
a house. I stopped the car pointed towards the rocks. We were anxious about who
might be at this forsaken place this time of night to make such a light. Local
Indian shamans? There is a reservation nearby. And I'm told that such bright
flashes of light can be Shamanistic phenomenon. Hostile Skin Walkers? The Holy
Ones? Serial killer deadbeats? As I considered this, my companion said,
"The car is moving." "No, it's not," I replied, thinking
that she meant that the brake wasn't on or something. Moments passed. "The
car is moving." "No, it's not," somewhat impatiently.<br />
<br />
Then, I noticed that the car was moving. Sliding back and forth. Front to back.
Without the benefit of gravity! The overwhelming sensation was that of the
other world. This was as clear as any other sensation might be: Fear, love,
joy, who can calculate its measure or prove the experience except by the
consensus of witnesses. This time, someone was with me and shared a significant
paranormal event. This had not been the case in the past. Though, the sensation
of the moment was powerful indeed, great power and otherness. We decided that
perhaps we did not need to be there. In fact, should not be there. We were
intruding somehow. So, we backed out and drove slowly away.<br />
<br />
We became very anxious to be away from there. Away from that power that seemed
so strong and unfamiliar.<br />
<br />
About ten miles back on that dirt road, there is a farmstead. We both felt that
if we could get past that point, back in human surroundings, we would be OK.
But, then, as we drove along, I heard a strong hissing noise. It became louder
and louder. I stopped the car to investigate. I had a flat. I had to change the
tire. As I did so, it began to rain. We were in the Nevada desert in July. Rain
is not impossible there at that time, but not likely. Now it poured down. At
that anxious moment! The tire fixed, we continued our escape. We focused on
looking for the farm, after which there is another ten miles to the paved road.<br />
<br />
Then, all of a sudden, we were at the intersection with the paved highway. We
did not pass the farm. We arrived at the pavement much too soon. And as soon as
we got there, the rain stopped. Both of us had been looking for the farm. You
can't miss it, since the road goes right through the barnyard. It has the only
light in that vast desert area.<br />
<br />
Trans-temporal-spatial-relocation? Both of us would not have missed such an
obvious landmark as the farmyard. Install one gate there and the way becomes
impassable.<br />
<br />
It seemed as if some spirit or deity laughed in the night.<br />
<br />
On another, earlier occasion, I perceived in my mind's eye, that the
"spirit" of Eagle Rock looked like a series of vertical serpentine
rods of golden white light. Like the Seraphim, perhaps. But on that earlier
occasion, they simply hovered above the rocky crag, approving the one I brought
there for initiation into these "mysteries." At the conclusion of
that initiation, I clapped my hands above his chthonic chakras as he lay across
those rocks. Simultaneously, lightening ignited the mountainous horizon in the
distance, followed immediately by thunder.<br />
<br />
Now, it was as if the seraphs hovered majestically for hundreds of square miles
above the valley, easily filling that vast emptiness, they "sing the glory
of God in creation."<br />

Steve Frost, 1993, exhausted after climbing Kala Pattar,
18,000ft, across a valley from the southern base of Mount Everest, a sacred
mountain, The great Holy Mother Mountain of the World. I was operating
under the notion that one should meditate on sacred things, or make offerings
of affection and respect, not intend conquest. (Issues of capacity,
attention and sacrifice are related conversations.) This project thus is
a meditation on that other great mountain and mother,<o:p></o:p></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-fareast-language: JA;">I graduated from
college, spring 1973, confident in the fact that I had learned to make
paintings and poems. AND HAVE SINCE VERIFIED THE VALIDITY OF THAT
ACCOMPLISHMENT. I also had an interest in prose fiction, but what gifts I
have, seem to flow most strongly in the creation of images. The
Graven Image does seem to be the one thing that only human beings do, and is my
strongest hand. Some of the </span><a href="http://ecai.org/NEPSIS/PDF/NF%20POEMS.pdf"><span style="color: #002fda; mso-fareast-language: JA;">poems</span></a><span style="mso-fareast-language: JA;"> are good.

pages. Abstraction and a trained intuition have served me
well. I also tried my hand at short fiction, novella and novel
forms; this produced an ‘anti-novel,’ </span><a href="http://ecai.org/NEPSIS/NF%20sitemap.htm"><span style="color: #002fda; mso-fareast-language: JA;">The Nepsis Foundation and the Oracle of Xibalba</span></a><span style="mso-fareast-language: JA;">, <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="mso-fareast-language: JA;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The complexity of
the NEPSIS project is byzantine. (1) Perhaps because it took more
than 40 year to complete what organically started in 1973, climaxed in 2005
with a denouement that extends into 2013. (2) Perhaps because I
wanted it to be so intricate for the sake of those dedicated souls- students,
aficionados, who are truly interested, who like a challenge- there is much to
explore- If not my work, then the sources themselves.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="mso-fareast-language: JA;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">But most likely re
the first, its longevity, is just the result of the huge, complex reality
treated- And the second is just a passing mood or flair for the
esoteric. Most likely is that it’s just so hard, and takes so long
to willfully uncover truth, goodness or beauty- or even to understand that
which has been already excavated by others- often very great others. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="mso-fareast-language: JA;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Sexuality is going
to be essential to any consideration that involves the
biosphere. It’s easy to sensationalize and to abuse. Hard to be
honest about it. As a vowed celibate, disciplines and theologies
about sexuality are an important part of my life. As well, a large
part of my formal studies for my dissertation was Buddhist Tantra in which
sexual imagery is openly used to symbolize ultimate and universal Union- for
individuals and all reality. Also we touched on Shamanism, which offers a
wide spectrum of insights about sexuality. I have personally believed the
Church’s teaching about states of prayer transcendent of something so natural
as coital arousal, but doubted it in fact. I’ve since experienced
such states for myself and am confirmed to believe fully in the Origin of Life
precedent to biology and the rest of physics as well. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="mso-fareast-language: JA;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I’ve tried,
intuitively, to grasp the core or sense of the last 50,000 years of human
spiritual and cultural awareness. It’s an absurd
ambition. Bound to fail and be humiliated for such
pretension! Except that I possess an artist’s knack for the
intuitive and abstract- and I had in this the advantage of world-class
scholars, monks, priests and secular experts to critique my intuitive and
scholarly choices. Finally, the art- the paintings and the ritual
pilgrimages guided me. I didn’t know that was my ambition at the
time. But I believe that’s what’s happened to produce 5000 pages of
peer-examined prose, extensive formal studies, about 100 poems, 300 paintings,
et al, and 20 years of hitch-hiking pilgrimages that are the content of the
NEPSIS project. Maybe after all, these are just some nice paintings,
poems, and stories. Some adventure. And I’m just a nice man who took
care of his mother ‘til she died- you judge. If you can...<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

that. Except for a couple of things. That

like Dark Energy and Light? And that saint? Did she
really die screaming? <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

</span>Then, for reasons beyond my <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">ken</i>,
I continued through Bakersfield, where I saw a young Harvey Canady walking down

<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">... as I approach
Spider Rock in Canyon de Chelly, northeast Arizona, I am in tears of mourning
for the deaths of my mother, and brother the previous fall. I’d had a
worrisome dream that previous Christmas morning about my mother in the
afterlife. I’d made little offerings at this place because Grandmother
Spider, a creator deity in the Native American pantheon, is reputed to live
there. I’m a believing Roman Catholic Priest, but I’m still reverent of
the other insights, personalities and symbols. Symbols of Deity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had made many visits in the past wherein
nothing had happened.... <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">This time,
Grandmother Spider took over my consciousness, and took pity on me in my
sadness.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She clearly indicated I should
look up the right hand canyon (Canyon de Chelly splits just there at Spider
Rock). I did so. And there benevolent Changing Woman, also a Navajo
deity, appeared standing behind my mother. My deceased mother was
protected (saved) in the other world by these two representatives of feminine
deity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Georgia was holding a box with
golden light inside. She was well. This was a completely
spontaneous experience.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">This story is
interesting to me in that a believing Catholic can experience a complete
transliteration of a salvific moment. That is, my mind and heart
spontaneously translated a salvific intuition through another religion's
symbols and divinities. Rather like St. Bernadette did with the
translation of Immaculate Conception from the Beautiful Woman of her original
vision at Lourdes! I suppose this is possible because these are sets
of symbols that refer to ineffable realities.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">NARRATIVES of NEPSIS: PICARESQUES, Pilgrim's Journal?...-
An Anti-Novel. It is not in reaction against the Modern Era that I
finally rejected the novel and short story forms among others. It’s because the
material world has no discernible plot, nor characters, nor moral message.
Wisdom, Compassion, <i>Caritas</i> and like/related phenomena, I suspect, derive from a
different vale entirely. I returned to mythic, even surreal cycles of short
fiction, research, image and picaresque narrative, dream-like in composition as
a more accurate means of discovery and expression for this research and
expression-- and is closer to my pertinent interests than sophisticated
cultural constructs, novel from a dark enlightenment, current for the last 500
years in the West.<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0c343d;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">To understand my interest here, one must consider the
mystical physiology of Asia and many other parts of the world in
antiquity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Various agencies of the
American ‘establishment’ recognizes such in that it recognizes as effective and
pays for Acupressure and Acupuncture therapies which depend on these <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">psychic</i> systems. The “Root Chakra” is
located just above the perineum and is the foundation of this mystical or
psychic physiology in the human body. It’s also known as the “Earth Chakra” or
the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Muladhara</i>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is associated especially with the
generative organs, including the prostate and testicles in men.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Remarkably, it is associated with feminine
deity!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For one, the goddess <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Kundalini</i> rests there- until she is
awakened by natural, supernatural or yogic stimulation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then, the Universe comes into being, or is
somehow changed in goodness, truth and or beauty.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Many examples of feminine deity exemplify the
full spectrum of existence, from the terrors of Kali (Painting #s130 [44], 235)
to the absolute benevolence of Changing Woman (See painting #s 89 [36], 127
[41], 128 [42], 134 [70]).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Grandmother
Spider, as a creator deity, needs the full spectrum </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">of lights and darks t</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">o deal with creation...</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">In this exploration of the feminine or ‘yin’ energies,
archetypes and deities become a means of organizing perception. (Art as a
vehicle of discovery itself, when compared to mechanics of various disciplines
from physics to actual mechanics, is generally considered feminine)- I was
impressed by the feminine/was <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">chosen</i>
by it, early, and intuitively, as a vehicle of great power and truth, perhaps
the greatest.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(This is especially
remarkable for many heterosexuals who don’t seem to be able to get on without
their women.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Homosexuals also seem
committed to such <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">worship</i>- to the
point of ‘impersonation.’)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">‘Impersonation of deity’ is an ancient ritual practice of
great importance in terms of what it says about the plasticity in the formation
of a human person.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Its exercise is found
in most parts of the world though history in the festal cycles of various
cultures.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s a practice accompanied
often by months or years of arduous preparation and is a root of drama and
theater when these were/are 'sacred arts.'<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>(I think they still are sacred when these perform the aesthetic purpose
of revealing goodness, truth or beauty, bridging in that a pernicious
separation of World from Spirit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
human capacity to be able to change <i>personas</i> so convincingly seems to me
remarkable.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Its exercise in the Modern
era is even more remarkable set loose as it is from its own ontology- to what
effect? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">1. Last summer I wrote to Bishop..., may he rest in peace, regarding my grave concern about the issue of child molestation charges brought against one of our priests, Fr. Chris, especially in light of the hysterical response of the media and some people, how the Church hierarchy handles such situations and how many of us priests know, like and respect Fr. Chris. [Beside the paramount issue of real victims, my concern for this issue was then and is now ecclesial and twofold:</span></div>

<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">a. What happens when the institutions of the Body of Christ make accommodations to reactionary values in our culture rather than reforming those values with salvific courage and insight? Though there are local examples of this (Fr. Chris' case was never presented truthfully in court or press), one significant national illustration is that the National Catholic Conference of Bishops threatens to laisize priests found guilty of such charges. This response not only misses the deeper issue but it sets the tone of accommodation to public hysteria and illogical reaction more in tune with an opportunist press than the healing power of Jesus Christ or the eternal nature of the Catholic priesthood. To threaten a person trapped in such pathology with punishment is similar to telling masochists that you will hurt them if they misbehave. It is counterproductive. It does not address an issue that might have a mostly cultural and psychological root as well as a moral context. I believe this situation results from a soul-sick consumer culture (world-wide) consumed by its own pathology of appetites. This is a contagious disease of material, psychological and spiritual imbalance that produces a variety of related diseases. Molestation is only one. If we do not act boldly and well in this, there will be more </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">than one bankrupt diocese in this country because the real issue remains unopposed. If we are unable to focus such fundamental issues, then the spiritual bankruptcy in the Church is staggering. I have seen little or no adequate leadership as to the cultural and spiritual roots of this issue or other related issues of sexuality and therefore human identity. Just saying "no" is not enough. There are alternatives.</span></li>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I understand the difficulty of this situation and sympathize with those who must deal with it officially.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Since coming to the Diocese of... in 1978 and being sponsored in the seminary, 1979-84, by Bishop... may he rest in peace, I have had a disturbing mix of reactions to my presence. Let me describe how I see it. I believe that I did well at the seminary. I received a unanimous vote for advancement to Orders from the seminary faculty. I was the first student to be elected twice to the General Seminary Committee, the faculty policy- making committee to which three students were elected annually by the student body at large. So, I had also the confidence of my peers. I completed a Master's thesis that was guided by one of the world's top theologians who was then teaching at U.C. Santa Barbara. I had a very good relationship with the former Vocation director, Fr. Richard... </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">However, the Vocation Director that replaced him did not react so well with me. We had several confrontations and eventually, six weeks before my diaconate ordination, he recommended that I not be ordained. The seminary maintained their positive recommendation and six months later I was ordained deacon, then four months later, a priest with my class by Bishop ....</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Regardless of the normal hopes for a successful first assignment, it did not work out. Neither that first rectory nor the second has been a happy circumstance. The unfortunate dynamic has been the same in both. I have a good, sometimes excellent, relationship with the people and staff, and an ever deepening devotion to the sacramental life, but my relationships with </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">both pastors have been terrible. Though both men have many virtues that I admire, our virtues have not been the problem. Let me clarify.</span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">After a recent (and, for me, again abusive) interview with my current pastor, I realized something about my situation that reveals a flaw in my own approach. Perhaps it also points out problems of significance in the Church. It dawned on me that both my pastors since I was ordained as well as the second Vocation Director mentioned above had some important and problematic similarities with my father.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">My father was a very good man, even a gifted and spiritually insightful man who cared for his family deeply. He was also emotionally very insecure and frustrated over many life issues, I think partly as a result of certain attitudes about masculine and intellectual domination and partly due to the difficult strength of his personality. (Is this the result of genetics or an overly aggressive, scientific, commercial culture as well?) In any case, he handled parental authority in an abusive, manipulative way. In some respects he died last Fall, a broken man because he never resolved these issues. I lived through that for the first twenty years of my life. Even though the underlying love was unshakable, I swore that I would never be trapped in such a situation again. But that is exactly the situation in which I find myself. When I first realized this I felt caught in a situation similar to that experienced by the children of alcoholic parents who unconsciously choose an alcoholic spouse. I have espoused not only the Church but institutions of the Church often manned by personalities suffering similar emotional dysfunction. Is this accurate? Is this inherent in any bureaucracy? Is this only my perception? Is it only my bad luck to run into relatively many such problems in my life as a Catholic Religious? Or is this situation more general, even epidemic? If so, is it the culture? Is it the church? Is it a church overly accommodated to its culture?</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Reflection on this matter might be worth the consideration. I recognize some of the problem as my own but it is not the sort of problem that surfaces without the necessary dysfunctional environment. (I have not had problems with all my superiors.) If we deny it as a serious and general level of dysfunction and it is true, then maybe we are denying what, if healed, could empower the priesthood of our age with the full charisma that the celibate gift offers: that is, a clergy with the courage and clarity of spirit adequate to face the challenges of a world in its most desperate hour. Perhaps there are ways to avoid the occasion of such dysfunction. Perhaps this is an appeal for all of us that we not be abandoned when trouble comes or that we not be left trapped in our own dysfunction.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Dealing with my situation until recently has often been like re-living a terrible dream in which one is unable to focus the source of angst or to resolve the problem. It has taken years of difficult searching to get even to </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">this point of clarity, though there is something in me that still rebels against abuse, perhaps too strongly. Has this only been a personal purgatory or as a priest does not my life experience, successfully resolved, offer something to my community?</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Due to the effect of these experiences, some recent family tragedy and resultant responsibilities, and the continuing need to fulfill other vocational interests, I have come to feel that perhaps I need an alternative environment in which to mediate God's love as a priest. Perhaps there are alternatives that will address all the above as well as allow me to stay in the Diocese of Orange where there has been much that is good for me. (see cover letter). I hope for your patience, guidance, and sympathetic attention in this matter.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">3. A third and related issue regards the expenditure of Catholic resources on the questionable forms of education. Public education generally has become not so much the ground of forming human personality according to the dignity of our divine inheritance, but rather is a training ground for the technocratic/commercial complex that now dominates, and which I believe is destroying the world. [Witness the wanton destruction of wilderness and natural resources, traditional cultures and peoples (see attached reference).] Practical Catholic teaching in the form of elementary and secondary education is not opposing this evil but contributing to it by its necessary conformation to public school standards and values.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">If all the "innovation and progress" of our time were not an assault on the very soul and life of God's creation I would be impressed with such wonders as are most others, and encourage such education. But this direction is not only unbalanced and destructive - I believe it to be evil. Technology has not saved us from the evils of the world, it has amplified them. Our education system benignly and actively contributes to the effect.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">4. We live in a part of the world that is a center of armament production. Our economy depends largely on defense spending. Is this industry solely for justifiable defense, or profit? Former President Eisenhower warned in the 1950s against the military-industrial complex. His prophecy has come to pass. In Southern California we live in the "belly of the beast." Many of our people are dependent upon this industry. Must we not stand against such evil...</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Bishop, these examples are only symptoms of particular virulence that indicate the greater evil that must be recognized and challenged with our resources and our lives. I began to suspect that there was another side to the "blessings of progress" when I saw the charitable efforts of good people being contributed to an evil situation. An example is the use of </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">education and science to "save" and "improve" lives in the Third world. Result: Exploding populations. Result: Destruction of traditional values, cultures, and natural balances. Result: Violent political and social tension as in El Salvador, Calcutta, Mexico City, Cairo, and many other places.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">This seems to me to be the proper concern for the priesthood, if that priesthood is to evoke and tend the divine fire of God's concern for his creation. The compassion of our charities are good but not enough. As in the Crucifixion of our Lord the salvific insight and action necessary to transform the world must be struck. To gather the resources necessary to effect that salvific liturgy we must search deeply as pilgrims into the soul and sacredness of Being itself. We have that capacity. We must find a way to catalyze that salvation for our times.</span></div>
