Paths

The Way of the Soul

KEYWORDS: belief; religion; sacred; holy; myth; mythology; theology; philosophy of religion; God; faith; soul; salvation; ecumenism; interfaith

So long as I pilgrimmaged through the fields of reason in search of God, I could not find him, for I was not deluded by the idea of God, neither could I take an idea for God, and it was then, as I wandered among the wastes of rationalism, that I told myself that we ought to seek no other consolation than the truth, meaning thereby reason, and yet for all that I was not comforted. But as I sank deeper and deeper into rational scepticism on the one hand and into heart's despair on the other, the hunger for God awoke within me, and the suffocation of spirit made me feel the want of God, and with the want of Him, His reality. And I wished that there might be a God, that God might exist. And God does not exist, but rather super-exists, and He is sustaining our existence, existing us (existiéndonos).

Religious Studies and Theology

To believe in God is not a decision that we can make. All we can do is to decide not to give our love to false gods.

Simone Weil

The task of Theology is to show how the World is founded on something beyond mere transient fact, and how it issues in something beyond the perishing of occasions. The temporal World is the stage of finite accomplishment. We ask of Theology to express that element in perishing lives which is undying by reason of its expression of perfections proper to our finite natures. In this way we shall understand how life includes a mode of satisfaction deeper than joy or sorrow.
