Theopoetic: Whats next for Jason

Tomorrow I will return to transcribing my thoughts from my Scholars Journal - a little black notebook containing random 'theologizing'. Soon after I am hoping to start posting an online "Theopoetic of Water". I intend to build story, poem and theology around water and water crisis.

Im still figuring out what that means. It came to me in a dream!

Here is another definition of the Theopoetic:
THEA/OPOETIC, METAPHORIC AND SYMBOLIC
METHODS


Thea/opoetics - A method of interpretation in the field of religion (mythology, theology and comparative religions) developed by Stanley Romaine Hopper and David L. Miller in the 1960's. This method is used to articulate the spiritual import or meaning of a text or symbolic object, especially, by deriving and amplifying 'radical metaphor' ('ontological metaphor'; 'antimetaphor') for 'ontic' experiences, i.e., experiences of existence, being, becoming, iterativity, or aftermath. Such experiences are 'concealed' with experiences of everyday objectness or activity in the life-world. The criteria for the validity of an interpretation is not its 'falsifiability' but its 'compellingness.' Thea/opoetics names and characterizes the divinity that manifests itself in a particular material object of symbolic sacred significance.

"What . . . theopoiesis does is to effect disclosure [of Being] through the crucial nexus of event, thereby making the crux of knowing, both morally and aesthetically, radically decisive in time."

"[Like Rilke] . . . we must learn, with trust, to be one with, a breathing with the inhale and exhale of Being, in order that "the god" may breathe through us, and we, through the translation of its breath into song, may be . . . the eyes of becoming and a tongue for Being's utterance."
