I had just recently purchased His Eminence's book "Mystagogy" when I came across this video. It's nice to hear His Eminence speak on the topic directly as I'm enjoying his book. I consider myself, in some sense, a "Christian Neoplatonist" and appreciate pseudo-Dionysius' works greatly. I wish I had attended Marquette instead of the Jesuit school to the south, Loyola University Chicago, so I could have been in one of Abp. Alexander's courses. That said, we're still "Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam" ;-) Truth-in-advertising: Though I am not Orthodox (traditional Roman Catholic here), I rejoice in our shared patrimony and pray for the reunification of the Apostolic Churches someday, Deo volente. God bless, and I'm looking forward to watching some of your other videos.

This was really wonderful and helpful! With his writings I say, "okay, I understand that, but not that." "I understand that sentence, but, now, what are we talking about?" If there was an Orthodox book that explained what we have of his writings (chapter by chapter), it would be very much appreciated.

Fantastic. When do we get Part 3? 4? :-) I'm leading some of my high school Sunday school class members in a reading of the "Cloud of Unknowing" this summer. I found my way to this page as I was doing my preparation for the class. I know I'm going to have to buy His Eminence's book now! I would love to hear more from him on this subject. If you are not aware, Archbishop Alexander used to oversee the project at Marquette University called "Jewish Roots of Eastern Christian Mysticism". Someone else has taken it over now. It's a great site with a lot of interesting material. Thank you so much for posting this.

A very interesting and scholarly observation of Dionysus and his work in late antiquity. My favourites of this period are Plotinus and Proclus. The question to me, rather, is to what extent Archbishop Golitzin recognizes the Gnostic perspective in which Dionysius places his pleroma? For he places his Pleroma in, from what I see, in the Jungian Gnostic material sense and in the sense of CORBIN, the Iranologist. This placement in the material world seem to me to deviate from the Intelligible world of Proclus and his work on Divine Imagination; He Places the desirable - the Love of God - who draws all of the world up to him in the incorporeal intelligible light world - ...

what was the title of the book that he mentioned in the last seconds of his talk.?

Will there be part 3?

Alas, there will not...

Spirit (πνεῦμα) particularized in thought and further made into mental images is not a path to the absolute. The divine (Ο Θεος) or spirit, in a special Way, comes to us suddenly and directly when we have totally emptied our self of the human condition that seeks the divine through thought.

@ninasaabiyeh926 4 года назад

I couldn't finish it. Again I could hardly understand what was said. RU-vid captions made it even worse :(

@DaveK548 4 года назад

Why did His Eminence say God Godself rather than God Himself? I associate the horrid phrase “God Godself” with politically correct Western theology which (wrongly) thinks that saying “God Himself” is somehow disrespectful to women.

@brotheraugustine 4 года назад

I think the phrase in question was "God's self" in the talk, and not some weird gender pronoun thing.

@TommyGuichardo 3 года назад

How can God have a gender? Can you assign a gender to the nothingness that allows everything else to be? How can humans know if God, that of what nothing can be said, has a gender? ...

@DaveK548 3 года назад

Just so you know - yes, Orthodoxy teaches that God has no sex or “gender”.

There was clearly time gap of several days/weeks between Part 1 and Part 2 of this interview. Here in Part 2, the good Bishop is dressed differently and sounds/looks tired and possibly even sick with a cold. Its a shame because he seemed much sharper and eager to share his knowledge in Part 1 vs Part 2

With all respect to His Eminence I had to speed up the video because i could't focus on his slow speech

Ha ha you said what I thought !

@nicknatuzzi2652 2 месяца назад

C’mon Archbishop! A lot of words and no answers. Permit me to enlighten. Dionysius The Aeropagite is St. Denis of Montmartre fame, aka Theophilus. Also, the inspiration for Rodin’s sculpture, The Thinker. The connections are detailed, published and available in the Library of Congress, submitted in the mid 70’s, by my own Mother, as her Doctoral Dissertation. I have known these answers for ~50 years. 🙏🙏🙏

If shipwreck is reading contrary doctrine, I do not know what christian god you are talking about. He does not like subjugation of free will, AT. ALL!
