Goethe said of mysticism about its relationship to poetry and philosophy in the following quote.
"Poetry points to the riddles of nature and tries to solve them by means of the image. Philosophy directs itself to the riddles of reason, and attempts of solve them by means of the word. Mysticism considers the riddles of both nature and reason, and seeks to solve them through both word and image."
Johann Geothe
About Me
- ~Cephas~
- I am a Catholic who is drawn to the prayer of the heart, known as the Jesus Prayer. I especially love to retreat with the Trappists whenever possible. I have a Ph.D. in Neuromusicology and am a lecturer at Stony Brook University. While I don't perform as often as I used to because of the amount of teaching I do, I am still involved as a professional musician mostly in musical theatre as an accompanist and conductor.
