Yes! Very new for me. It will take awhile to hone these skills. I’m pivoting to some new terrain. I’m attempting to bring together faith, Heidegger, and mythology which will either be incredibly creative or a complete disaster :-). But why not?
It could be tricky, yes. If done in ignorance of the tradition that already exists, you could end up with your own form of syncretism. Best to ground your ideas in the existing tradition of the Church Fathers, and how they sanctioned the borrowing of pagan mythology from an orthodox position. Then you can discern how Heidegger might fit into that. There’s always danger in becoming too enamored with a philosophy or mythology that we fail to detect where it runs afoul of the Church’s accepted theology.
Aha! I see what you are attempting to do here Walter. Very clever, very inspired. ❤️🔥⚜️👑
