Immortality
But the soul's immortality- the eternity, that is, of the Phaedrean charioteer- is not merely a consequence of arguing that Soul is the principle of motion: it is absolutely necessary to the sustaining of the world. Without the perpetuity, without the immortality of every soul... the motion and therefore the life of the world would cease...
-Michael J.B. Allen, The Platonism of Marsilio Ficino
Is is funny how we, so weak and so passing, can uphold an entire universe...

What about the Day of the Dead?
What do you think about the book on death by Hieramonk Seraphim Rose?
You did promise a post on Seraphim Rose sometime back.
It is called The Soul after Death by Fr. Seraphim Rose.

Memento Mori
Everyone I know goes away in the end
You can have it all my empire of dirt
My favorite blog is Go Sit in the Corner.
I thought your favorite blog was Lion and the Cardinal.
Some of the Western Culture blogs have a certain unrealistic, if not impossible, elitist, and mean spiritied approach without charity or optimism.
