Interreligious Sciences of Sacred Art Therapy [ISSAT]
Oath of Hippocrates (the Arcan Duty) Masterful-spiritual {marian: in Christo divina maiestas} and spiritual-cultural {virtus, fides et pietas}, according to divine right and human duty, we will preserve life and also our art. Also the 'confessional secret' (Sigillum Confessionis) is inviolable. [Codex Iuris Canonici 983 § 1]. Whatever we hear, see or feel in the dialogue, even outside the lives of enlightened souls, we will keep it silent and regard the holy as a secret. To accept one's service, after having examined the whole area: is love.
Reducing
through asceticism was easy. – Building
up with
love is a huge task!
Conditions for Entry into the Sanctuary When the worldly personality of
good men is so perfected into the glorious assembly of the righteous that God
completely surrenders his body, heart, and soul to the Divine Mother
(universal-global-ethics), so that "men walk in purity, practice justice, and
speak the truth from the heart"1,
something can arise that establishes order among religions and brings peace to
all humanity.
1The one whose walk is blameless, who does what is righteous, who speaks the truth in his heart. (Psalm 15.2)
It is the shortcoming of many women that they refuse
cooperation in the 'sacred art-therapy' of Marian men;
and so men plunge 'into the wild life' ('I'll drag him through the wild life,
Through shallow insignificance, He shall fidget, stare, stick to me'
Goethe: Faust, Mephisto). "No spiritual
practice!" women think, "it is enough simply to have the desire for the heavenly
world to reveal itself to us, so that the devil will leave us alone, 'yes, and
angels will come to serve us'1
and God's power will fall into our laps." Oh no! Unfortunately not. –
Preparation, however, is something that takes a long time in the
cultural-creative sphere. Yet, people do not prepare themselves. Like 'Foolish
Virgins', women continue to harbour some
sort of worry within
themselves;
indeed, from time to time they pray and do "a little yoga, which is enough!" In
reality, it is not enough at all: it does not redeem man from Eve's name! But it
is equally true that men must fulfil their precondition: interreligious
spiritual dialogue. By fulfilling this, it will be possible to discover that
»the synthesis« brings peace.
1Then the devil left Jesus, and angels came and attended him. (Matthew 4:11)
„Man muss
leider feststellen, dass selbst Fachleute, so renommiert sie in ihren jeweiligen
Spezialgebieten auch sein mögen, ob als Einzelpersonen oder in spezialisierten
Gruppen, derzeit wissenschaftlich nicht in der Lage sind, so große und komplexe
Probleme wie den Übergang von einem Orientierungssystem zum anderen zu
bewältigen. Denn diejenigen, deren Aufgabe es gewesen wäre, das vorhandene
umfangreiche Wissen methodisch zu integrieren, haben versagt. Dieser Zustand
lässt sich nur durch vielfältige methodische Untersuchungen, Kooperation und
konzertiertes Handeln von Spezialisten verschiedener Fachrichtungen beheben, was
kein privates Unternehmen effektiv organisieren kann. Es besteht kaum ein
Zweifel daran, dass eigennützige Politiker, um ihre eigenen Spuren zu
verwischen, gegen solche wissenschaftlich fundierten Empfehlungen vorgehen
werden, aber eine aufgeklärte Öffentlichkeit wird die Probleme früher oder
später zu der einzig möglichen intelligenten Lösung zwingen.“

ISSAT can therefore be distinguished into two activities/spaces. Interreligious Sciences, in their scientific descriptive and observational activities, explicitly or implicitly follow the guiding questions: "What is the case?" and "What are the phenomena to be investigated like?" Synthesis (sacred-art therapy), on the other hand, explicitly or implicitly researches the guiding questions: "What causes the phenomena to exhibit these observed characteristics?" and "How can it happen that the phenomena on planet Earth are finally changing now?" Interreligious Sciences form the basis for Sacred-Art Therapy, just as synthesis {transcultural dialogue} is a prerequisite for Interreligious Dialogue.
