Universal Judaism: Becoming Sacred Time
  • The world was created for me. I have the responsibility to safeguard the gifts of creation and celebrate life. I can learn to differentiate the sacred from the ordinary.
  • As the world grows older, I grow older. I can grow to act in more mature ways. I can effect the maturity of the world, its environment and humanity.
  • I have the capacity to determine my own character and reputation. I can judge, improve and redeem myself.
  • I need others. I am aware that Nature, chance and change have an impact on my life. I realize that life is fragile and am humbled by that awareness. I can and will seek opportunities to express thanksgiving.
  • I possess a treasure. TaNaCH communicates demands on my thoughts and behavior. I can discover unparalleled meaning in TaNaCH and accept both implicit an explicit obligations in its prose and poetry that represent the perennial values of Jewish identity. I am a missionary for TaNaCH and its messages of prophetic idealism.
    I am .

    43. Sacred Time And Sacred Place

    http://www.wwnet.net/~fkrauss/021201.html
    Sacred Time and Sacred Place
    The First Sunday of Advent
    December 1, 2002
    Grace be unto you and peace, from god our father and from the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. It’s the First Sunday of Advent, and the message startles us! “But in those days, after that suffering, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will be falling from heaven, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.” It sounds like something out of a doomsday science-fiction novel. Suffering, darkness, and the very powers of good shaken. And with this words, Jesus begins the apocalyptic vision that begins our advent readings for this season of anticipation and preparation. It’s a remarkable contrast, isn’t it, to the joyful noise that our hearts prefer to raise in this coming season of love and joy? It is a vision of darkness and woe, and speaks out of the sad condition in which we often find ourselves trapped in the ongoing pilgrimage of the human race. There are two things that I want you to remember about this passage as we consider it. The first is that it was spoken to the age in which Jesus lived. Not ours, as is so often presumed. The second, and even more importantly, is that the language Jesus uses is metaphorical. It is intended to paint a word picture of deeper realities that hold true for all of us. It would But this is not what Jesus is talking about. What he is talking about is you and me, and how we make it through the struggles of daily living in a world that is often cold and hostile to us. He’s talking about the need for salvation, and its fulfillment, and of the spiritual preparation that is necessary if we are to be ready when the Son of Man appears.

    S A C R E D T I M E
    a sermon given by the Rev. Roger Paine
    on Thanksgiving Sunday, November 18, 2001
    A T T H E F I R S T P A R I S H I N L I N C O L N "It is this life that I wish to live, the same life I am living, but with one great difference:
    a difference in my experience of time. The fact is that I am not now living my life - it is living me."
    - Jacob Needleman in Time and the Soul READINGS:
    Our first reading is a little story I love, and have used once before, from Mark 2:23 - 27:
    One Sabbath Jesus was going through the grainfields, and as they made their way his disciples began to pick some ears of grain. The Pharisees said to him, "Look, why are they doing what is not lawful on the Sabbath?" And he said to them, "Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry and in need of food? He entered the house of God, when Abiathar was high priest, and ate the consecrated bread, which it is lawful only for the priests to eat, and he also gave some to his companions." Then he said to them, "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath..."
    Our second reading is from an essay by Brian Doyle entitled "Grace Notes":

    45. SACRED TIME 3

    http://www.firstparishinlincoln.org/ParNews011128/page5.html
    We are now entering a week that, I pray will be for all of us a week of returning to our own center -
    a week filled with family time, time with friends, time that we might call "sacred time."
    The days around Thanksgiving can give us that - but they are a patch, not a cure.
    Because we need sacred time every week - the kind of time that makes and keeps us whole.
    Every week.
    That's the challenge.
    The Hebrew word for "holy" means "set apart."
    Sacred time is time we set apart.
    For Kay and me, it's Sunday afternoon and evening.
    Saturday doesn't work because I'm usually still in a wrestling match with Sunday's sermon.
    Week nights won't do because of meetings. So we chose Sunday afternoon and evening. The idea was - and is - to put no pressure on this time: no chores, no rules, no obligations. We could spend it as we pleased. We could even waste it. The freedom to waste time together is one of life's underestimated good things.

    Suggested Readings:

    2. Rabbi David Wolf-Blanke's Meta Siddur presentation on the function of the reader's kaddishes as bridges from one level of davenning to the next.
    3. Also, read Stephan Rechtschaffen, Time Shifting , Doubleday, 1996
    1. As participants enter the program room they receive a hand stamp or black ribbon for Time Servants and red ribbon for Task Masters of Time.
    2. Then drummers create a rhythm to slow down the room. 3. Two hazzanim on each side of stage. One who rips out Readers Kaddish mega rapidly. Then on to one who does it languorously. Could be the same hazzan who does this. 4. Then introduce the subject. Tell the story of how everyone has two angels traveling with them. One angel says: "Hurry up you're going to miss something! (There are mitzvot to be done, rallies to organize, vigils to attend, plays to see, concerts to attend, workshops to go to....)" The other angel says: "If you don't slow down you're going to miss something!" (a child's first step, a key comment by a spouse, etc.) You might orchestrate this as a story or a brief skit.

    Sacred Time — Lent
    The following commentary is written to accompany the FCP cassette Sacred Time . It stands for the Witnessing of the Word for the contemplative exercise number IV on Side Two of the cassette, relating to the season of Lent.
    Preparation
    First of all we spend two minutes listening to the Divine Invitation “Come unto ME all you who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11.28)
    Part One — Mind
    The first part of the commentary is to prepare our minds to hear and receive the Word of God spoken in Scripture: “I will allure [you] . . . into the wilderness”
    (Hosea 3.14  AV) The whole verse reads: Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto he r. We may legitimately substitute the second person form “ you ” for “ her ”, for the words are spoken to “Israel”, i.e. to God’s chosen people, his Church, in the broadest sense and throughout all ages. Significantly, at the start of his ministry, Jesus had to spend time in the wilderness; and during Lent, the Church seeks to share in some measure in that experience. This verse comes from a Lenten office hymn written by Saint Gregory the Great: Give us the self-control that springs
    From discipline of outward things;

    What could possibly account for the scope and longevity of the Star Trek phenomenon? With legions of impassioned fans and a life span of 30 years and counting, the Star Trek television and film corpus has made Gene Roddenberry's creation nothing less than an American mythology. Deep Space and Sacred Time examines for the first time in book-length form the many ways Star Trek has served as a mythic reference point for American societyand suggests that an understanding of this might help us to see ourselves more clearly as a culture. Moreover, this thoughtful and thought-provoking work posits that Star Trek offers its audience a sense of hope and, in the setting of an orderly cosmos, the possibility for empowerment. AUTHORBIO: JON WAGNER is Professor of Anthropology, Knox College, Galesburg, Ilinois. He has published books and articles on Islam, utopian societies, gender, and contemporary myth. JAN LUNDEEN teaches nursing in the Division of Allied Health at Carl Sandburg College. She has researched and written on the sociology of health care and gender in nursing education.

    by saraid in sacred time Tatooine was a harsh, violent planet; its people and its weather reflected that. Standing in the little living room, his back to the hallway, Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn intently studied a small wall hanging composed of braided and layered textiles in shades of grey and lavender. Behind him his hostess entered, her presence subdued, but he sensed it and turned around. "It's beautiful." Hands clasped in the concealing folds of his voluminous brown robe, standing square and tall, he nodded toward the piece. "It's what I do. Watoo exports them, he gets a good price. It makes me valuable." "Your value does not lie in what you produce." "It does here." Moving past him she tidied the lumpy sofa, her actions demonstrating her anxiety. "The storm will last all night. The girl is sleep on Annie's floor on a pallet, Jar-Jar said he wanted to sleep in the washroom, although I offered to make him a bed..."

    Journey A Cycle of sacred time This is a journey or pilgrimage. It is a movementtoward wholeness or holiness, a cycle of time for entering the sacred.
    http://home.earthlink.net/~newmoons/journey.htm
    Journey
    A Cycle of Sacred Time By Jan Boddie, PhD and Marystella Church, CHT In the English language we sometimes interchange the words journey, trip and travel. There is, however, a quantum difference between taking a trip and being on a journey. We've all done some traveling, perhaps at times alone and at other times with a friend. Be it a commute to work, a weekend getaway, or a vacation in Hawaii, it's an American tradition to take trips. Even to go abroad and play at being a tourist is a familiar way to travel for many Americans. Yet being on a journey is quite different from traveling or being on a trip. It's as different as taking a picture of the ocean is from jumping in and experiencing it. For starters, traveling can be exhausting because there is so much to figure out: where to stay; how much to pay for a meal; how to find the cathedral you came to visit; fussing about the clothes you did or did not bring.
    Journeying probes deeper than these thoughts that consume us. Being on a journey is going beyond what is

    Sacred Time, Sacred Space
    When I use the term ìthe union of Sacred Time and Sacred Spaceî I am, in a sense, referring to that dimension from which the time-space continuum arise. There is a connotation in the manner in which I use the phrase, however, which permeates the phrase with the presence of Life. The union of Sacred Time and Sacred Space is not far away or vast. It is in the giggle of a child. ìBe ye like children,î the master said, ìif you would enter the kingdom of Heaven. Another way to cast some connotative light upon the phrase would be to consider the first two words of the Christian prayer, the Our Father. The first two words are ìAwoon Dwashmayaî. These are commonly translated as ìOur Father who art in Heavenî. ëAwooní, however, in the old Aramaic (the street language in the Palestine at the time of Jesus) means more something like ëdaddyí or ëo sweet papaí. ëDwashmayaí is quite interesting. The Maya part is related to the modern words for ëmotherí, ëmaterialí, and the Hindu ëMayaí . The ëdwashí part of the word is related to our modern word for ëawashí. Put it together and the phrase may perhaps more appropriately be spoken, ìO dear daddy, papa, you who permeate the Mother, the material universe, every fiber of all we see and are ...î

    From the glittering blind ocean.

    Deep Space and Sacred Time: Star Trek in the American Mythos Buy for: Type: Hardcover
    Authors: Jon Wagner , Jan Lundeen
    Publisher: Praeger Trade ASIN: Release Date: 01 November, 1998 Sales Ranking: Average Rating: 4.67 out of 5 Product Reviews Now I finally understand what "post-modernism" means! I decided to read this book mostly because of the title as a Trekker who is also Jewish, I was interested to see what these authors had to say about "sacred time," because, as Abraham Joshua Heschel said, we Jews live more in sacred time than in sacred places. So, any book with "sacred time" in the title is bound to catch my eye. As it turned out, their definition of "sacred time" wasn't quite the same as the Jewish one, but I still enjoyed the book. It's an excellent analysis of Star Trek from an anthropology POV. Especially useful to me was the clear, concise explanation of what "traditional," "modernist," and "post-modernist" worldviews mean in terms of how various cultures view time and the future. I had heard TOS called "modernist" and DS9 called "post-modernist" before, but could never really get a grasp on what that meant, exactly. (What can I say? I'm in the over-50 generation and haven't always kept up on the latest buzzwords.) This book clearly explained all three POVs traditional, modern, and post-modern then put them into the context of various Trek episodes. Great job!
