Boy do I hear you about the difficulties of the "lensing problem." For what it's worth, your writing has been one of the most successful approaches I've seen at encapsulating the fractal and the crystalline in a linear medium.
I don't know what God is calling you to do, Cormac, but I hope you take some comfort in knowing you have touched at least one person's life with your writing and example.
Cormac, thank you for writing. Yours is one of the only Substacks I recommend from my own. I hope that has brought at least one person your way and I hope they have seen what I see in your writing. I too struggle with my purpose in life. Other people probably know my purpose better than I do! At least thats the old world way of looking at it. Reading this has inspired me to keep going with my own struggle, since even in the struggle there can be a connection to others.
I hope to meet one day in person. Also, I know the Iakovos you mentioned. James, he’s good people. May we all meet one day!
Thank you for this, Cormac. You know, I was thinking about the trajectory of St. Sophrony’s life- while I don’t have the symbolic chops to understand it as well as you might, I see deep similarities. Thank you for all the work you put into these articles. They are profoundly helpful.
This was the right article for the moment, on the eve of the Symbolic World Summit. It threads us together and reminds us of our purpose. An excellent journal post, insightful and vulnerable.
And yes, you had my symbolism of Arrival meter peeking by the second paragraph, especially the eternity-time, logos-story section.
