	<description>There is a continuous attraction, beginning with God, going to the world, and ending at last with God, an attraction which returns to the same place where it began as though in a kind of circle. -Marsilio Ficino</description>

Michael Carroll in his book, Veiled Threats, tells of the following:
Gian Matteo Gilberti, bishop of Verona&#8230; instructed his priests to root out superstition, and singled out in particular &#8220;the practice of uncovering the roof so that the soul [of the dead] can get out, something that suggests the soul could be held back by a [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=arturovasquez.wordpress.com&blog=2894911&post=4349&subd=arturovasquez&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

More notes on religious art
What makes an image sacred? People nowadays, who often do not tie beauty in with holiness (as proven by the various monstrosities produced by the modern church) can often come up with various mechanistic solutions to the question. Many would have us think that sacred imagery has to follow very explicit [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=arturovasquez.wordpress.com&blog=2894911&post=3279&subd=arturovasquez&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

We find similar temporal symbolism as the part of the cosmological symbolism of the Temple at Jerusalem. According to Flavius Josephus, the twelve loaves of bread on the table signified the twelve months of the year and the candelabrum with the seventy branches represented the decans (the zodiacal division of the seven planets into tens).

The sacred is saturated with being.
-Mircea Eliade
The more time passes, the less certain I am of things. The good part about that is that I feel less need for that certainty now. No one is more certain than a twenty year old firebrand full of piss and vinegar. Having been one, I can assure you that [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=arturovasquez.wordpress.com&blog=2894911&post=2738&subd=arturovasquez&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

The dialectic of the sacred permits all reversibilities; no &#8220;form&#8221; is exempt from degradation and decomposition, no &#8220;history&#8221; is final.  Not only can a community- consciously or unconsciously-  practice many religions. but the same individual can have an infinite variety of religious experiences, from the &#8220;highest&#8221; to the most undeveloped and aberrant&#8230; we frequently find [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=arturovasquez.wordpress.com&blog=2894911&post=573&subd=arturovasquez&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
