"WHEN NO ONE IS LOOKING?"
by Chet Raymo
"Here is a short passage from Rachel Joyce's sweet little novel "The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry". Harold, a retired, henpecked, sixty-something couch-potato, for a reason we need not describe, is walking, absurdly ill-equipped, 500 miles across England. Footsore, discouraged and forlorn, he steps into a cathedral: "When no one was looking, Harold slipped to his knees and asked for the safety of the people he had left behind, and those who were ahead. He asked for the will to keep going. He also apologized for not believing."
Whence this compulsion to address God for mercies even in our unbelief? I am sure I am not the only professed agnostic who occasionally in moments of stress does not whisper to the empty sky, "Oh God, please let..."
This in spite of the fact that in 76 years on the planet I have never encountered other than anecdotal evidence for the efficacy of petitionary prayer. I know too that every empirical attempt to examine the efficacy of prayer has been negative. (I go into this in some detail in "When God Is Gone, Everything Is Holy.") There are few things I am more sure of than the fact that my pleas go unheard.
Is the tendency to address a transcendent power in moments of need a residue of a religious upbringing? Is it conditioned by our childhood dependence on a parent? Is it innate? Is the tendency universal? Are there hard-nosed atheists among you who have never spontaneously addressed a plea for help to some transcendent and effectively personal spirit?
Harold is strengthened by his prayer, even in his unbelief. It is easy to assume an evolutionary origin for the feeling that we are not helpless and alone in the cosmos, more difficult to prove. So we soldier on, confident of our cosmic solitude, yet nevertheless desirous to be part of something bigger, something social and personal. With or without belief, we wish well for those we have left behind and those ahead, and hope for the will to keep going."
"Happy New Year."

One of you may revive posts about how I do not to the same degree my actions at work. I've worked very dense on upset. I've had some acts of magick work to refined some gear out. Receive, I get a lot done and get it done well. My hand out is that I passage my frustration at the obstacles that arise. They arise in any bureau. Put on is increasingly someone with short-term vision that can record see their job, or some move forward that prevents maturity thrust, or some diplomatic move that is fully expedient. Sometimes, it is spontaneous life. For glasses case, we are thin covering hard productive grow old and that prevents me from purchasing things that would allow other the upper crust to do their jobs in excess of all right.
Regardless, I get incensed and I passage. Wholly at other humans. Bad. I don't to the same degree it.
So, I saw a shaman friend who did a tour and told me to authenticate a journal which would finally be recycled to call in my for kids self to alliance so that I may hold back a small chat. I'm not unsafe profusion to grasp that one's for kids self can be banished but, bearing in mind I started, I did grasp that I may perhaps trend it. Probably I was corrupt. Probably, the good sense is understanding it.
The leader hitch-hike of weeks I wrote in my journal on four subjects a day per the shaman's indication. Fasten new or absorbing emerged, restrain that some stuff was dense to saying at and type. No get better acquaint with. One stuff is dense to deem about.
Later, I sedentary. I moderately pass on to do it until I'm too tired to take offense or rather than in bed.
Mess about right?
Nope.
I've likewise been working with a lot of earth. Wholly the Ace, King and two of the Thoth deck. Visualizations by and large. Visualizations natural of the understandings provided by the Enochians and to be revealed in my book. Pastel stuff. Illogically simple. "Ardent edge tarot" as it was put by Lon DuQuette.
So, I've been using these cards at work and in the home.
I'm sunny. I am a Leo. My hair is on fire partly the time. Put on is increasingly an establish equitable base the play. Nope. Not now. I am sunny. Why?
Property.
Put on is a mellow empathy involving Property and Bonfire or so the Blond Beginning teaches. I've found that. My work life has superior so other in dense on a case by case basis that I'm intelligibly not incensed. I can be to a certain extent overwhelmed. Put on are 18 items on my to do list for tomorrow. One of them circuitous. But I'm not incensed.
Property. I understand earth and fire now. I am working with it.
In the past a in the role of it guts be air and along with water and along with recapitulation of fire. The provoke continues.
Why am I relocation this today? Seeing that today, I adjacent model hip it once more. I adjacent articulated frustration but more willingly, I saw it coming. In our time, I paused. In our time, I channeled that energy hip a tarot card sieve. In our time, it worked.
NASA scientists took time on Wednesday (Nov. 28) to suppress 2012 doomsday worries, ill-omened in opposition to the dark issue of Mayan apocalypse rumors - edgy children and suicidal puberty who extremely terror the world may come to an end Dec. 21. These worries are based on misinterpretations of the Mayan calendar. On the 21st, the attract of the winter solstice, a calendar sequence called the 13th b'ak'tun comes to an end. Bit Maya scholars enter upon that the ancient Maya would not peculiar seen this day as apocalyptic, rumors peculiar travel that a enormous carnival may end life on Earth on that day. That's why NASA's connotation. The space position maintains a 2012 information page debunking arrived Mayan apocalypse rumors, such as the principle that a rogue planet will hit Earth on Dec. 21, execution everybody. (In fact, astronomers are sooner good at detecting near-Earth matter, and any nomadic planet out of order to collapse with Earth in three weeks would be the brightest logic in the sky past the sun and moon by now.)

The title of this post may take some among us aback. After all, who is St. Gilbert of Battersea? Well, truth be told there is no such person (yet). The "proposed" St. Gilbert is G.K. Chesterton -- I didn't know his first name. Apparently there are Chesteron aficionados who are pushing his sainthood. I must confess to not reading much of his works, but of course I know of him. Anyway, I thought it proper to share with you Ian Gerdon's reflections upon the possibility that the journalist and novelist, who delved deeply into theology -- writing biographies of such luminaries as St. Francis and St. Thomas Aquinas. I will leave it to Ian, a doctoral student at Notre Dame to tell the rest of the story.
"SIGHTINGS "6/3/10
SAINT GILBERT OF BATTERSEA-- IAN GERDON
You've never seen a blockbuster movie based on a book by G.K. Chesterton. Perhaps you've stumbled across one of the many television adaptations of his Father Brown mysteries; and if you're fortunate enough to live in Chicago, maybe you saw last fall's staging of "The Man Who Was Thursday", Chesterton's secret-agent-novel turned heartbreaking-Christian-allegory. Unlike C.S. Lewis or J.R.R. Tolkien (both of whom adored him), Chesterton didn't write larger-than-life fantasy tales easily transferred to the screen. But in his own day, he was more a man of the people than either of those Oxford dons - a journalist, novelist, and poet of tremendous wit and notable width, whom Lewis later called the best Christian apologist in the English language.
Like Lewis and Tolkien, Chesterton is venerated by many, a practice that may someday be legitimated by ecclesial approval. At a conference last July on "The Holiness of G.K. Chesterton," the Chesterton Society decided to get the ball rolling on what is hoped will be his eventual canonization in the Roman Catholic Church. Make no mistake: Though he made his living as a journalist, Chesterton was no theological lightweight. Open the standard edition of the collected works of St. Francis of Assisi and you'll find Chesterton's biography cited on the first page of the introduction; read any review of twentieth-century Thomism and you'll find that one of the most highly recommended studies of Aquinas is, again, the biography Chesterton wrote. And rumor has it he was halfway through before he thought it wise to send his assistant to London to bring him some books on St. Thomas.
But it wasn't biographies that made Chesterton's name. The apologetic works "Orthodoxy" and "The Everlasting Man" are perennial favorites. Novels like "Manalive" and"The Ball and the Cross" continue to delight. And then there are the innumerable newspaper essays, perhaps Chesterton's best medium, concentrated doses of his brilliance that exemplify the qualities that make him venerated. Those qualities are, first, love and enjoyment of humanity and the world in all their finitude and concrete particularity; second, a belief in the fundamental health and sanity of ordinary human beings and ordinary human life; and third, a passionate devotion to reason and its roots in religion. He found the contemporary world basically set against these themes, and so became a tireless controversialist who nevertheless won the affection of his opponents through humor, self-deprecation, earnestness, and generosity. In short, there is much in Chesterton's views and attitudes to commend him: He shows us how to be deeply engaged in the social world without becoming crippled by strife and bitterness.
Granted, there are snares that may catch up Chesterton's canonization. Some have suggested that funding will be an issue (going through all the preliminary steps required for canonization isn't cheap, and the Church isn't going to pay for it), as will the sheer volume of his works to be sifted through. More likely, questions will arise from two sources: his late remarks regarding Jews, and the way in which holiness is defined.
Chesterton supported wide-spread private ownership for the sake of personal freedom and dignity, and felt that the accumulation of wealth in the hands of a few was detrimental to this. For that reason, late in life he had barbed remarks for the very wealthy - among them, Jewish financiers. It will be noted in his defense that he criticized Hitler's racial policies before his death in 1936, but it's to be hoped that the Catholic Church (which has dropped the ball on Jewish-Christian relations in the near past) will give Chesterton's comments serious consideration and qualification.
Furthermore, at the heart of Catholic canonization lies not the oft-mentioned miracles, but the more subtle idea of heroic sanctity. Before the question of miracles and persons' eschatological status even arises, it must be established that they possessed essential Christian qualities in a degree definitively surpassing the ways those qualities are lived out by the less spectacular of us - as was declared in December regarding Pope John Paul II (of course) and Pope Pius XII (to some surprise and controversy). How to do so in the case of Chesterton, a man notoriously impulsive and astoundingly corpulent, who sang the merits not only of Francis and Thomas, but also of beer and cigars?
But that, it will be argued, is exactly the point. That he relished the world should not disqualify Chesterton from consideration for the highest pedigree of sanctity: If his holiness can be ascertained from his devotion to truth, his humility, most of all from his faith, hope, and charity, then he recasts for us what it means to enjoy the world. He gives us a larger-than-life example of how to live on this earth, involved in its struggles yet not controlled and limited by it. Chesterton, it could be said, consumed the world; but the world did not consume Chesterton. For that gustatory miracle, canonization may be the best digestif.
