superblue Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Talk about information overload in class today..... St.Antony going into something about that we become or that Christ deifies us.... Then for some reason I started thinking too much again, because the topic drifted into Christ as The Word and is in through all creation.... cosmology ( which is another ology i am not interested in by any means ) but then, what i was thinking was, exactly how is Christ, The Son before his birth ? you have Him in the Trinity of course, I never really thought about any of this before entering and now i regret thinking about any of this in general and really wish i could just go back to my simple church back home and back to private adoration where things were simple. I don't like thinking about or learning about these things, it is too much for me, and I am basically a fish out of water when it comes to these types of discussions and book readings, which i am not even sure if i even want to continue skimming the book i am supposed to be reading. An might just focus on my tuning out skills instead . I have enough trouble with my inner demons and really do not need to add any more. Further more my other class which involves pesky seminarians, involved a brief interesting and what i think unwarranted incident which for some reason the priest/ teacher didn't pick up on, hear , or chose to ignore, and I have let it bother me off an on since this past Wed. and running scenerios in my head as to which way things could go come Monday, if i chose to go on any of them, but i would much prefer to forget the entire thing, let the mouth who said what he said run his own course, an just work on flushing the entire thing out of my mind and go back to doing nothing in class as i am not being graded. An i hate college, i disliked high school a lot, and i hated grade school and pre school. Lesson i have learned is i do not belong in the class room environment for much more reasons than disliking them..... i gtg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarysLittleFlower Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 I'm not good at studying theology myself... I just like spirituality books and Mass and Adoration. I'm attending an adult catechism class at my parish that is very good and we talked about this topic too... Like how before the Incarnation, Our Lord always existed as the Son but since the Incarnation He has a body. I know theology can be overwhelming to me too. I think spending time in simple mental prayer can help to have more peace while studying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swami Mommy Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 I guess spirituality has to be relatable to many different types of temperaments. For those who are heart-centered, then adoration and devotion would most likely be the pathway to God that resonates best with them (Bhakti yoga, the path of love). For those who tend to have a more mental and logical approach to life and faith, theological discourses might be more appropriate (Jana yoga, the path of knowledge). And for those who tend more towards engaging with God through the physical world, selfless service, communing with Nature and simple physical labor done with full attention might be the easiest way for them to approach the Divine (Karma yoga, the path of action). That being said, bringing all three ways of engaging in a spiritual life into balance creates a more unified field of awareness of God's Presence in our lives, in the world, and in our own physical, emotional and mental aspects of our beings. Superblue, from the way you've described your inner anxieties and depression in past threads and posts, it might be worthwhile to try to find a way to engage your body in physical chores as much as possible in order to bring your awareness out of your head and heart and to better ground it into the physical aspects of life. You seem to have a tendency to brood and therefore working with a physical activity that requires your full concentration so you don't injure yourself would take you out of your mental circular thinking patterns and bring your awareness into the kinesthetic experience of the here and now.
