Radical Embodiment

This study seeks to articulate the universality of the eschatological expectation, in its specifically Christian form, by interpreting it from the perspective of a radical embodiment. This can be understood in a twofold manner. Firstly, the mysterious reality of the eschatological reign of God is rooted in – and thus can be more adequately grasped through the lens of – Jesus’ own body seen as distinct yet not separate from his risen body and, mutatis mutandis, from his extended body, both ecclesial and cosmic. Secondly, for the eschatological expectation to be lived out in an incarnational way, it must be ‘enfleshed’ in actions aimed at social and ecological liberation.The article consists of four sections. Firstly, we explain in what sense body – and more specifically Jesus’ body – is used in our analysis as a hermeneutic key to notions such as ‘risen body’, ‘spiritual body’, ‘extended body’, ‘social body’, ‘ecclesial body’, ‘cosmic body’, basar/kol basar (‘flesh’/‘all flesh’), and ‘life’. Then, the universality of the eschatological expectation is being articulated on two levels, namely, (1) with regard to the social, and in particular the ecclesial, body, and (2) with regard to the cosmic body, with ecological implications inherent in such perspective. Finally, we close the loop by briefly revisiting the notion of Jesus’ body.

Spiritual Body

The apparent disorderliness of Scripture is merely superficial; it possesses a non-logical order which appeals to the heart. The affective aspects of this notion (hitherto subordinated to the cognitive) are discussed, in ways that illuminate Pascal’s conception of faith. The fundamental message of Scripture is the necessity of charity (the love of God). The notion of the three orders (the flesh, the mind, and the will) is explained. The greatness of Christ is as much above intellectual greatness as intellectual values transcend purely material magnitude. The love of God enables liberation from toxic self-love: the Christian ethic consists in learning to see ourselves not as isolated entities but as ‘thinking members’, parts of a spiritual body, the community of the faithful.

A FÍSICA E A COMUNICAÇÃO ESPÍRITA Resumo: quando sentimos e pensamos1, estamos emitindo um fluxo de energia constituído de ondas, de um plasma tênue, altamente eletrizado e de um feixe de fótons. Neste fluxo de energia, as ondas são as responsáveis pela sintonia psíquica, os fótons são originários das vibrações dos constituintes atômicos - núcleos e elétrons e podem alterar o campo espiritual. O plasma possui uma plasticidade ilimitada e é o agente causal das correntes elétricas mentais, que dão origem aos fenômenos da indução mental e da magnetização do corpo espiritual. Palavras-chave: Fluxo, Energia, Ondas, Fótons, Elétrons, Magnetização, Espírito. Abstract: When we feel and think, we are emitting a flux of energy consisting of waves, a thin, highly electrified plasma, and a beam of photons. In this flow of energy, waves are responsible for psychic attunement and the photons originated from the vibrations of atomic constituents, nucleis and electrons, can modify the spiritual field. Plasma has an unlimited plasticity and is the causal agent of the mental electric currents, which give rise to the phenomena of mental induction and magnetization of the spiritual body Keywords: Flow, Energy, Waves, Photons, Electrons, Nucleis, Magnetization, Spirit.
