Eden Research
Excited to see a dedicated space for Paradiso! The third canticle often gets less attention than Inferno, but it contains some of Dante’s most sophisticated theology and cosmology. Looking forward to exploring how the spheres build upon each other as the Pilgrim ascends toward the Empyrean.
Thank you, Marcus. We will continue the reading from the Garden of Eden, with a focus on the anagogical level.
Interesting to see the structural approach here. I’m curious how you’ll organize the cantos – chronologically as Dante wrote them, or thematically by the spheres? The architecture of Paradiso is particularly fascinating with its nested heavens and recursive patterns.
Hello Robert, we will mostly do half a canto at a time, but also focus on the three parts of three spheres, the first with discovering the spiritual within oneself and the world, the second with awakening, mission and its place within a bigger picture. And then, we move into much deeper contemplation.
This is wonderful! Paradiso deserves more dedicated attention. The journey through the spheres is transformative – each level revealing more about divine love and human potential. Can’t wait to see what insights emerge from focused study!
Thank you! And absolutely – we will focus on exactly that – how this relates to oneself as a reader, and how one will change, recursively, from this reading. Great to have you with us!
Benvenuto! What strikes me most about Paradiso is the profound question it poses: can human language truly capture divine experience? Dante’s struggle to express the ineffable becomes itself a meditation on the limits of human understanding. Looking forward to exploring this together.
Grazie, Giuseppe! Indeed, we will discern and mediate at length over exactly that. Gradually training the capacity to both dwell in the transcendent beyond language and category, and also how to use language as a bridge or a portal into these spiritual states.
Looking forward to many great conversations!
