Extractions: "couple-time" be scheduled? Sometimes couples get frustrated with the assignment to schedule their sexual connecting time. "Sex should be spontaneous, not scheduled," they complain. At the same time, they state they are so busy they can't seem to find time to connect and are frustrated with how that's impacting their marriage. I quickly point out that scheduling a sacred connecting time does not prohibit spontaneity within the time they have sacredly saved for lovemaking. Besides, scheduled is better than none if the lack is impacting the marriage negatively. Return to "Try this at Home" Make your couple-time sacred. What would happen if we established time together as a couple and made it sacred? Growing up in a conservative Christian home, we never discussed whether we would go to church on Sunday morning. Church attendance was a given. If something came up at school or in the community that was going to occur on Sunday, I didn't even need to consider it. Sunday morning was sacred. It was set apart for one thing only - corporate worship of the Lord Early in a relationship we fight for time together. We will go out of our way to be together for even small amounts of time. Once we get to the point where we are coming home to the same place and sleeping together every night, we tend to stop fighting for that connecting time.

"Sacred time is devoted to the heart, to the self, to others, to eternity. Sacred time is not measured in minutes, hours or days," writes Gary Eberle, chair of the English Department at Aquinas College in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where he has taught since 1982. In this philosophically rich work, he laments the "time famine" of our era where individuals seem to have lost any connection with eternity or the depth dimension of life. We claim to want more time for things that matter but to make room for them we have to rush through eating, recreation, sex, and other important activities. In the end, we feel exhausted and diminished. Another aspect of sacred time comes into focus when we honor the Sabbath and take time to rest and restore our souls. In several linchpin chapters on the medieval sense of time, Eberle spells out how the Benedictine rule and books of hours enabled individuals to establish a fine balance between time and eternity. Their souls were replenished by tapping into "the fullness of time," a beautiful biblical expression that conveys the meeting point between the temporal and the eternal. With a masterful ease, Eberle reveals the ways the major religions make a place for sacred time through rituals, prayer, meditation, and ceremony. In a personal chapter, Eberle discusses what he learned during a year in which he devoted a portion of each week to finding sacred time.

In this fascinating excerpt, he compares the different views of time reflected by those ancient books of hours and modern daily planners. "People treat their daily planners the way monks and nuns used to treat their prayer books. They keep them close at all times. They clasp them with missionary zeal as they head from meeting to meeting. With long-range and short-range plans, people plot out their workplace eschatology. The planner in today's society carries much mana, or spiritual power, and forgetting one's planner is a major sin of omission. Like medieval displays of conspicuous piety, the planner announces to the world that you are one whose life and time are worth something. The jewel-encrusted covers of medieval psalm books and the ornately illuminated pages of the Lindisfarne Gospels announced the value and importance of their books' contents. The sober leatherette of the daily planner, as plain as the binding of a King James Bible, holds lists of engagements no less valuable to us than the word of God was to the ancients.

Ritual And Celebration In Pantheism
sacred time, sacred space ceremony and celebration in Pantheism. Practice of scientific pantheism* by Paul Harrison. sacred time, sacred space.
http://members.aol.com/Heraklit1/ritual.htm

Extractions: Ritual and ceremony are found in almost all the world's religions. Usually they celebrate seasons of the year, times of the agricultural cycle, transitions in human life, or days of significance in the history of nation or religion. They are usually symbolic, and follow fixed forms prescribed by tradition. Rituals have many functions. They cement the bonds of a society or community. They allay anxiety in a hostile universe. They provide the support of others for religious faith. But in most religions they also have more primitive and selfish goals, similar to magic. Prayer invokes the help of invisible beings. Sacrifice and offerings try to control fate or to ward off the anger of the god or gods. Communion tries to acquire some of the magical power of the deity. All ritual acts may be thought to help in achieving a favourable afterlife. Among the more sophisticated, ritual also has more noble functions: to remind people of their fundamental beliefs on a regular basis, and to acknowledge humility before the divine.

Extractions: Send this review to a friend Family ties frayed by tragedy REVIEW BY MAUDE MCDANIEL All he wanted for Christmas was a glass-wax stencil kit. Not so much for a young boy to ask, even in 1953. What he got (and gave) for Christmas was a family tragedy, too terrible for words, which haunted him and those he loved for the rest of their lives. Such events can make or break a family, and Anthony's Italian-American clan in the Bronx is not the world's strongest. His parents' marriage is passionate but tenuous; his aunt is a bit flighty; his twin cousins are really annoying; and his uncle is a jailbird. The ties fray and stretch, but in some form they hold in the end. The story is told in six chapters, each set later in time. Ranging from the memories of a child to the stream-of-consciousness narrative of a dying septuagenarian, the novel examines the cumulative history of forced coping with pain that will never entirely disappear. Ursula Hegi has written nine previous books, one of which
Restoring Sacred Time

http://www.adoremus.org/1002-LiturgicalYear.html

Extractions: In his new book, Ceremonies of the Liturgical Year According to the Modern Roman Rite Ignatius Press , 254 pp, $17.95), Monsignor Peter Elliott presents a "manual for clergy and all involved in liturgical ministries" as a guide to the most important moments of the Church year from its beginning at Advent, through Christmas, Holy Week, and Corpus Christi to the solemnity of Christ the King. It is intended as a companion to his earlier book, Ceremonies of the Modern Roman Rite , and is in accord with the regulations in the new Roman Missal In his Introduction, Monsignor Elliott discusses the significance of the Liturgical Year as an "instrument for catechesis and evangelization" and the importance of Sacred time. This introduction is published here with the permission of Ignatius Press . Editor Christians understand time in a different way from other people because of the Liturgical Year. We are drawn into a cycle that can become such a part of our lives that it determines how we understand the structure of each passing year.

Extractions: SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER REPORTER Not long ago, the Islamic holy month of Ramadan would have passed unnoticed by most Americans. P-I GRAPHIC Ramadan: A Primer (pdf format) But in the wake of terrorist attacks and the subsequent bombing in Afghanistan, Ramadan has been catapulted into the spotlight. Some commentators have suggested halting U.S.-led air strikes in Afghanistan amid concern that they would anger Muslims and weaken the support of Islamic partners in the coalition against terrorism. "One would certainly wish that the operation would not go on in Ramadan," Pakistan's President Gen. Pervez Musharraf said this month. "It will have definite negative effects around the Islamic world." For the 15,000 Muslims in the U.S. military, Ramadan will be celebrated as usual, even as their leaders continue to prosecute the war on terrorism. Many say they simply don't see a link between warfare and observance of their religion.

MIRCEA ELIADE: THE SACRED & THE PROFANE - 2 Sacred Time (Summary)
Mircea Eliade The Sacred The Profane 2 sacred time (Summary) This page summarises Mircea Eliade s The Sacred The Profane (1957), Chap. 2/4 on sacred time.
http://www.bytrent.demon.co.uk/eliadesp02.html

Extractions: Eliade introduces his section on sacred time by claiming that for religious man there were two types of time, sacred and profane, the former experienced in religious festivals, the latter in ordinary daily life. Religious festivals reactualised sacred events from the mythical origins, so participating in them meant stepping out of ordinary time and into sacred time, the time of origins. Religious festivals occurred periodically, so sacred time was also circular. By contrast, modern, non-religious man does not experience sacred time. He has his periodic celebrations, but they are not experienced as sacred, as involving contact with the divine. According to Eliade, for archaic cultures, the cosmos regained its original sacredness at each New Year. In fact, the cosmos was recreated each New Year and time began afresh. Thus, for the ancient Babylonians, when their creation myth was recited over the New Year period, the creation of cosmos out of chaos actually happened all over again. First, the world fell back into chaos, as symbolised by, for example, chaotic behaviour such as orgies. Then, through the ritual, the god Marduk slew the chaos monster Tiamat and created the cosmos out of his body. As part of all this, time, seen as profane by the end of the old year, was abolished, then recreated as sacred once more.

http://www.cityarts.net/n.hegi.html

Extractions: German-born writer Ursula Hegi often confronts cultural wall jumpers in her internationally acclaimed fiction. "The older I get," she says, "the more I realize that I am inescapably encumbered with the heritage of my country's history." In her new novel, Sacred Time, Hegi symbolically considers the inescapability of history and culture by following one boy's unfortunate mistake as it reverberates through his family. Elegantly reflecting on the dark side of childhood, Sacred Time traces three generations of the boy's Italian-American family from the Bronx in the latter half of the twentieth century. From Tearing the Silence: On Being German in America , Hegi's exploration of the conspiracy of silence surrounding the Holocaust in post-war Germany, to Stones from the River , an epic narrative of the rise of Hitler from the perspective of a small-town, gossipy dwarf, Hegi writes her heritage with grace, humor, and scrupulous honesty. Hegi is the recipient of over thirty grants and awards, including an NEA Fellowship and five PEN Syndicated Fiction Awards.
Sacred Time : An Alternative To The Wiccan Concept Of Sacred Space. Sacred Time
sacred time. The concept of sacred space is prevalent throughout most religious practices. Time is always with us. sacred time is definitely not a new concept.
http://www.mothersmagic.net/theology/sacredtime.html

Extractions: The concept of sacred space is prevalent throughout most religious practices. The world is dotted with holy temples, shrines, and cathedrals, all which mark the presence of the divine. These sacred places remind us of the holy, even when the holy is wholly transcendent and unobtainable. Sacred space is, in all religions, a place to step outside of the humdrum world and commune with the sublime. In Wiccan practice, sacred space is often not confined to a building or physical place, but rather is created through the casting the magic circle-a world between worlds in which to worship, to celebrate, to convene, to work magic. Within the magic circle, the mundane world falls away and the inner eye is opened fully, receptive to the ethereal presence. Of course, Deity is always with us. All that is truly required to tap into the divine source is a sense of the sacred, and what turns on that sense may vary from person to person. For the pantheist and the panentheist, God is not only present but immanent, suffusing the very world around us with its presence. For that reason, for the nature-worshiper and many a neo-pagan, the world around is already sacred. Not the woodland and unmolested nature alone, but skyscrapers, city streets, human dwellings and creations. I need not elaborate on this notion here, as I have dedicated another essay to the concept of sacred space. But it bears mentioning briefly here.
