We are all given various gifts by the Creator to aid us in our vocations in life. I’m an artist and designer. I (think I) can visualize metaphysical concepts and translate them visually and/or textually to communicate to anyone interested. My priority is being able to articulate all the answers to the big questions possible for my children when they ask.
What I am not is a researcher. When I receive divine spiritual concepts (often in my prayer attempts) I will rely on all the knowledge I’ve accumulated thus far to verify and articulate them outwards. I often won’t remember where I learned or heard many of the things I seem to know.
Maimonides did not leave any notes in his works. He synthesized Judaism and wrote it down systematically. He had studied and he knew. It took many years for his work to universally be accepted and verified in the Jewish world.
Of course I’m a little piece of dust under the heel compared to a brilliant mind like Maimonides. Even so, I don’t have the time, gift or interest to qualify every concept I share with academic research. So I will use his fiat method to synthesize Jewish and Christian oral and written traditions.
I hope to share concepts that are fully Orthodox, both Christian and Jewish, that I find enriching. Often in the pursuit of The Spirit of Truth we think we’ve come up with something new only to find it in the catechism. This should always be a delightful surprise. This deep process of discovery can make spiritual teachings high resolution for the individual.
If I happen to run afoul of the Magisterium and Catechism know it is not my intention and I hope that you will correct me. These eternal truths are for yesterday, today and tomorrow. They are ever old, ever present and ever new. We draw from the infinite well, Our Lady Wisdom, only able to retrieve from that face upon the deep.
