Round 5 - Catholic Character Tournament

Propaganda below ⬇️

Jean

Everything he does is motivated by the grace shown to him by the bishop. I also like him. He’s a strong old man which white hair. Or Hugh Jackman, which is also a cool thing to be.

His whole conflict over the course of the show is do I follow God and be a good man or do I follow the law. He doesn’t like, break the law all the time, but he will if it’s to appease a higher mission i.e he’s wanted by the police but he evades arrest to save an orphan

There’s a lot of talk about god in Les Mis. In the musical, Valjean has plenty of songs where he’s praying or talking to God.

Homura

she is a catholic lesbian whose girlfriend became god. she has been through so much.

shes such a lesbian for amdoke

Catholic guilt literally turned her into a demon

she literally watches everyone she knows die over and over and over again just so she can save madoka, the one girl who showed kindness towards her. when madoka ends up basically becoming god in order to stop the cycle of death and violence, homura RIPS AWAY THE HUMAN PART OF HER SOUL so that she can create a world where she and Madoka and their friends can live happily, effectively becoming the devil to madoka’s god

She has so much religious symbolism when it comes to her relationship to Madoka. Madoka is God and Homura becomes Lucifer so that she can save Madoka and give her happiness. She literally rips God from heaven and rewrites reality though. The way she sees her self and shapes reality is through the lense of Catholicism.

most fucked up little catholic girl. we love that for her.

Okay homuras entire fuckin arc is stemmed from the fact she is Catholic. Look at her trying to save Madoka over and over again and suffering for it because she thinks if she suffers enough and works hard enough Madoka will stay. Normal people do not go into time loops willingly. Catholics will.

Folks, hit it!

Ladies and Gentlemen, allow me to share this little thing in honor of Erica Mendez/Erica Micah Mendez's 35th Birthday and well, have a Happy 35th Birthday to the one and only, Erica Micah Mendez herself, folks.

[thekinarchives]

I could answer this question with a lot of kins who hit emotionally but most recently.. Jean-Jacques Chastel. Listen. You can't give me devotion to someone who saved you and you give your life to them simultaneously in an attempt to repay them and save them from themselves and a never-ending fate. Throwing your soul away, the very thing that you are, to change it, put a negative focus on you so maybe they don't get hurt or worse. No matter what it did to you, no matter how long it takes. It's Homura Akemi all over again, all over again, all over again, all over again, do you understand what I'm getting at. It's the unconditional devotion, the self-inflicted wounds but it doesn't matter because you're so happy they're with you through it, becoming a monster or a beast in the name of both love and fear, the time loops because of course there are themes with time involved. It's only having each other and thinking if you died today in their stead you would be saving them but it would be the one final thing that breaks them. You can't give me "my one and only friend", you can't give me "I don't want to die/I want to live" after everything they've been through, you can't give me Chloé d'Apchier and expect everything to be FINE and NORMAL. (I promise I'm normal about her btw.) here I thought Dominique was enough, I thought that would've been the haha metaphorical stake through my heart and while that is also getting to me emotionally too believe me, everything she goes through is so baited for me and I took it immediately; this is just the icing on that cake. Having it and eating it too I guess, except I feel like someone just shoved my face into it after I blew out the candles. Did you know he and Chloé have a song together? You do now! It's everything to me I love it I love it I'm begging for it to be on spotify right now or I might go crazy . UGH

oh and also Mallow! anyone who knows me knows memories in the mist changed me as a person fundamentally. usually I'm off-anon but I'm feeling sneaky today with this one even though it's obvious who this is LOL. 🌺

Les fondements occidentaux du yoga

Le père Jean-Christophe Thibaut nous enseigne sur les dérives occidentales du New Age, de l'ésotérisme, du yoga, du magnétisme, de la divination, etc.

L’ésotérisme se fonde sur un vision du monde, de l’homme, de la divinité, inspirée des pensées païennes (philosophie néo-platonicienne, mythes antiques, etc.) et sur une “connaissance secrète” (tradition primordiale) transmise pas initiation aux initiés.

L’occultisme (et les pratiques occultes) est la mise en pratique de cette connaissance occulte (magie, divination, astrologie, spiritisme, etc.).

Dans les pratiques occultes, il y a la recherche de la guérison et du bien-être et/ou la connaissance et la divination.

On distingue trois grandes racines aux pratiques occultes : 1. le yoga, la place du corps et les états modifiés de consciences ; 2. le magnétisme et la notion d’énergie ; 3. la magie, la guérison, la divination.

1. Le Yoga

Jusqu’au XIXe siècle, en Occident, on ne connaissait pas les religions orientales. C’est la société de théosophie, issue du spiritisme, fondée par Helena Blavatsky (proche de la franc-maçonnerie) et le “colonel” Olcott, qui fondirent un syncrétisme amalgament l’ésotérisme occidental, le bouddhisme tibétain, l’hindouisme et autres, en 1875. Le but était de fonder une religion qui englobe toutes les religions.

En 1893, cette société de théosophie organise à Chicago le premier parlement mondial des religions [excusez du peu]. Un nommé Swami Vivekananda (1863-1902), Indien hindouiste formé dans les écoles protestantes britanniques, y fait plusieurs discours qui favoriseront la connaissance et la diffusion de l’hindouisme en Occident. Il y reçoit l’ovation de 7000 personnes.

Brièvement, le yoga indien est une voie religieuse dont le but ultime est de parvenir à l’illumination par la m��ditation. L’Éveil est un état d’union avec le “dieu” intérieur (âtman) ou d’absoption de l’âtman dans l’Absolu (le Brahman). La voie du yoga passe par différentes étapes dont la dernière est l’état de Samadhi durant laquelle l’esprit du yogi réalise la “réalité ultime”.

En 1924, Tiramulai Khrishnamacharya choisi le hata yoga (yoga de l’effort) pour être adapté aux attentes des Occidentaux en s’inspirant de la gymnastique suédoise et du culturisme. C’est lui qui donne aux postures [asanas] les noms poétiques de “salutation au soleil”, “la cigogne”, [“l’arbre”, “le guerrier”], etc.

“Dès que le yoga s’exporte, il est marketé pour les Occidentaux. On le rend plus physique, on [en] gomme les aspects religieux tout en lui donnant une patine traditionnelle, on en fait une source de bienfaits, voire une alternative à la médecine.” (Marie Kock, spécialiste de l’histoire du yoga)

À ce stade, le yoga est une gymnastique exotique, mais qui porte en épithète un terme religieux, comme on détournait des termes comme chapelet, oraison [ou rosaire – ndr] pour en faire autre chose [un art martial, par exemple – ndr].

À partir des années 1960, des gourous indiens viennent en Occident avec un enseignement plus traditionnel du yoga dans leurs bagages. La dimension physique (asana) cède la place à la méditation (dhyana) pour parvenir à un état d’éveil. Le yoga vise désormais une transformation spirituelle.

Le yoga est inspiré du tantrisme qui est une voie ésotérique hindouiste et bouddhiste. Le yoga enseigne que les exercices de souffle [prânâyâma] permettent d’ouvrir les chakras et de faire l’expérience de l’éveil de la kundalini. L’illumination recherchée est perçue comme un état de plénitude, de bien-être, tant physique que psychologique. Il s’agit en fait d’un état de transe, d’ouverture sur le “monde invisible”.

Le prânâyâma se présente comme une méthode qui permet au prânâ (“souffle spirituel universel” [associé par d’aucuns au pneuma]) de pénétrer et de purifier le corps et l’esprit. L’hyperventilation provoque un état modifié de conscience pouvant aller jusqu’à induire un état de transe.

“Le yoga conduit à un état de fusion cosmique, induisant des états modifiés de conscience similaires à ceux que l’on peut obtenir par la transe ou par des rites initiatiques. Rien d’étonnant dès lors que ceux qui pratiquent un certain temps le yoga ou autres techniques analogues, se découvrent dotés de pouvoirs préternaturels. […] Un état modifié de conscience provoqué par des techniques longuement éprouvées par des yogis, peut provoquer des phénomènes d’emprises démoniaques.” (Josèphe Verlinde, L’Expérience interdite)

Rem du rédacteur. : Josèphe Verlinde que le père Thibaut prononce “vers l’Inde”, ça s’invente pas ; le Belge dira “veur Line de”.

La méditation du yoga cherche à provoquer une enstase, une plongé en soi-même pour découvrir son moi profond que le père Thibaut nomme “dieu intérieur” [Michel Odoul écrit “maître intérieur” ; C. G. Jung parle de “soi” et, en parallèle avec le travail des alchimistes, une plongée dans l’inconscient pour sauver notre âme qui a besoin de rédemption].

La méditation chrétienne et la prière permettent une extase, une union (non une fusion), une communion d’amour avec un Dieu transcendant.

Selon le père Thibaut, le yoga est tourné vers soi, la prière est tournée vers une altérité et dans ce cas, le yoga empêche de s’ouvrir à une altérité, son accès nous devient impossible.

“Le souci de l’harmonie de l’homme avec son environnement est important, mais nous constatons qu’il devient progressivement un absolu, une aliénation qui nous empêche de porter tout notre effort sur le vrai enjeu de notre vie : l’accueil de la grâce divine au nom de Jésus-Christ. […]

Pour ceux qui pratiquent le yoga assidûment, il devient progressivement un ‘art théurgique’, à savoir une voie d’auto-divination [1]. L’incompatibilité avec le christianisme saute aux yeux : nous croyons certes que nous sommes appelés à participer à la vie divine (2 P 1, 4), mais par grâce, c’est-à-dire par l’action de l’Esprit-Saint, et non par nos propres efforts ou par immersion dans les énergies créées de ce monde.” (Josèphe Verlinde, L’Expérience interdite)

Jalousie

À la demande de @harknessshi en espérant que ça va te plaire.

29"Pouvez-vous s'il vous plaît arrêter d'être si jaloux pendant une seconde"

Agatha x Lecteur

Reader, membre du Coven d'Agatha, se tenait là, entourée par ses anciennes amies et nouvelles compagnes d'aventure. Leurs regards se croisaient dans une ambiance chargée d'électricité, alors qu'elles se préparaient à affronter la nouvelle épreuve, celle d'Alice. L'air était saturé d'excitation et d'anticipation, chaque sorcière arborant un style rock qui tranchait avec le passé traditionnel de leur magie. Reader, avec son jean similicuir noir qui brillait légèrement sous les lumières, dégageait une aura de confiance. Son t-shirt en col en V noir, ajusté à sa silhouette, ajoutait une touche de mystère, tandis que sa veste rouge flamboyante, presque comme une armure, attirait tous les regards.

Agatha, bien qu'elle se tenait parmi elles en tant que leader, ne pouvait s'empêcher de jeter des coups d'œil vers Reader. Les souvenirs de leur amitié à Salem, teintés de rires et de secrets partagés, s'entrelaçaient avec le ressentiment causé par la quête insatiable de pouvoir d'Agatha. La tension entre elles était palpable, un mélange de nostalgie et de rivalité, comme une danse délicate entre le passé et le présent. Reader, consciente de ce regard insistant, ressentait un frisson parcourir son corps , à la fois intriguée et méfiante.

Autour d'elles, Jen, Alice et Lilia, et l'adolescent pleine de fougue, semblaient prêtes à plonger dans l'inconnu. Les éclats de rire et les murmures enthousiastes résonnaient, mais pour Reader, tout cela était assourdi par le poids de son histoire avec Agatha.

Dans l'atmosphère électrique de la salle, Jen ne pouvait s'empêcher de contempler Reader, son regard captivé par sa beauté saisissante. La façon dont Reader ajustait sa veste rouge, les mouvements fluides de ses bras, la manière dont ses cheveux tombaient en cascade sur ses épaules, tout cela faisait battre son cœur un peu plus vite. Jen, déterminée à ne pas laisser passer sa chance, prit une profonde inspiration et s'approcha de Reader.

« Hé, tu sais que cette veste te va à merveille ? » lança Jen avec un sourire charmeur, sa voix douce mais pleine de confiance.

Reader tourna la tête, surprise, mais un sourire se dessina sur ses lèvres. « Merci, Jen. »

« Tu es absolument incroyable, » répondit Jen, s'approchant un peu plus, ses yeux pétillants d'admiration. « Je veux dire, qui d'autre pourrait porter du similicuir et du rouge avec autant de classe ? »

Agatha, observant la scène de loin, plissa les yeux, un regard noir et méfiant s'installant sur son visage. Elle ne pouvait s'empêcher de ressentir une vague de jalousie en voyant Jen flirter avec Reader sous son nez.

« Jen, tu devrais peut-être te concentrer sur l'épreuve plutôt que sur… disons, des distractions, » intervint-elle d'une voix glaciale, le ton chargé de menace.

Reader, consciente de la tension qui montait, essaya de garder son calme. « Je pense que nous avons tous besoin d'un peu de distraction avant de plonger dans ce qui nous attend, tu ne pense pas Agatha ? » dit-elle, lançant un regard complice à Agatha

« Exactement ! » s'exclama Jen, ignorant délibérément le ton d'Agatha. « Et puis, je suis sûre que nous allons toutes briller. Mais je dois admettre, Reader, que c'est toi qui voles la vedette. »

Le regard d'Agatha se durcit encore plus, mais elle ne pouvait pas s'opposer à l'énergie qui émanait de Jen et Reader. La tension était palpable, une bataille silencieuse entre l'amitié, la rivalité et l'attirance.

~oOo~

Agatha était assise dans la cabine de son, le regard perdu dans le vide, la tension palpable dans l'air. Chaque fois qu'elle voyait Jen s'approcher de Reader, une vague d'irritation l'envahissait. Elle levait les yeux au ciel, sa frustration se manifestant par un léger soupir.

Reader, qui avait remarqué l'humeur d'Agatha, décida de la suivre. Elle entra dans la cabine et ferma doucement la porte derrière elle.

"Peux-tu s'il te plaît arrêter d'être si jalouse pendant une seconde ?" demanda Reader, son ton léger mais direct.

Agatha éclata de rire, un son qui trahissait une nervosité sous-jacente. "Je ne suis pas du tout jalouse," répondit-elle, feignant l'indifférence.

Reader croisa les bras, un sourire amusé sur le visage. "Ah, donc je peux passer tout mon temps avec Jen, ça ne te dérange pas ?"

Agatha leva à nouveau les yeux au ciel, silencieuse, son expression trahissant son malaise. Reader s'approcha d'elle, s'asseyant sur le bord de la chaise.

"J'aime bien te voir jalouse, mais ce n'est pas ce qui te va le mieux," ajouta-t-elle, son regard perçant cherchant à capter l'attention d'Agatha.

Agatha détourna le regard, mais un léger sourire se dessina sur ses lèvres. "Tu sais que je préfère quand tu es avec moi," murmura-t-elle finalement, la jalousie se mêlant à une affection indéniable.

Maggie Smith, Oscar-winning star of stage and screen, dies aged 89 💔

Dame Maggie Smith, the masterful, scene-stealing actor who won an Oscar for the 1969 film “The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie” and gained new fans in the 21st century as the dowager Countess of Grantham in “ Downton Abbey” and Professor Minerva McGonagall in the Harry Potter films, died early Friday in a London hospital.

Margaret Natalie Smith was born in Ilford, on the eastern edge of London, on 28th December 1934. Her father was assigned in 1939 to wartime duty in Oxford, where her theatre studies at the Oxford Playhouse School led to a busy apprenticeship.

One of Smith’s most iconic early roles was as Desdemona in Shakespeare's Othello. Laurence Olivier spotted her talent, invited her to be part of his original National Theatre company and cast her as his co-star in a 1965 film adaptation of “Othello.”

Laurence Olivier offered Smith the part opposite his Othello

Smith was frequently rated the preeminent British female performer of a generation with two Oscars, a clutch of Academy Award nominations and a shelf full of acting trophies.

The role that brought Smith international fame came in 1969 when she played the determined non-conformist teacher in the title role of The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie.

The role of Jean Brodie, alongside future husband Robert Stephens, won her an Oscar

The film was adapted from the 1961 novel by Muriel Spark, set in 1930s Edinburgh, and the character was based on the author's inspirational teacher.

"Jean Brodie," in which she played a dangerously charismatic Edinburgh schoolteacher, brought her the Academy Award for best actress, and the British Academy Film Award (BAFTA) as well.

Maggie Smith won critical acclaim for her role as Betsey Trotwood in a BBC adaptation of David Copperfield at the turn of the century. The part also brought her Bafta and Emmy nominations.

She appeared with a young Daniel Radcliffe in David Copperfield.

She starred alongside a young Daniel Radcliffe, who she would later act with again in the Harry Potter films.

In 2001, she took on the role of Professor Minerva McGonagall in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.

Dame Magie Smith is known to millions as Professor Minerva McGonagall from Harry Potter. Dame Maggie was reportedly the only actor JK Rowling specifically asked to star in the films.

In 2007, while working on Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince, Dame Maggie was diagnosed with breast cancer but continued filming. She was given the all-clear after two years of treatment.

From 2010, she was the acid-tongued Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of Grantham, in the hit TV period drama “ Downton Abbey,” a role that won her legions of fans, three Emmy Awards, a Golden Globe and a host of other awards nominations.

Downton Abbey - Violet Crawley - The period ITV drama ran from 2001 to 2015, followed by two films

One of Smith's most famous later roles was as a homeless woman in The Lady In The Van, as Miss Shepherd, a redoubtable woman who lived for years in her vehicle on Bennett’s London driveway.

Smith first played Miss Shepherd on stage in 1999 and earned an Olivier nomination for Best Actress

Smith added a supporting actress Oscar for “California Suite” in 1978, Golden Globes for “California Suite” and “A Room with a View,” and BAFTAs for lead actress in “A Private Function” in 1984, “A Room with a View” in 1986, and “The Lonely Passion of Judith Hearne” in 1988.

She also received Academy Award nominations as a supporting actress in “Othello,” “Travels with My Aunt,” “Room with a View” and “Gosford Park,” and a BAFTA award for supporting actress in “Tea with Mussolini.” On stage, she won a Tony in 1990 for “Lettice and Lovage.”

She was one of a select group of actors to win the treble of big US awards, with two Oscars, four Emmys and a Tony - as well as seven Baftas and an honorary Olivier Award in the UK 🇬🇧

Maggie Smith was made a Dame Commander of the British Empire 🏅 the equivalent of a knight, in 1990.

She will never be forgotten & her characters will continue on, for future generations to love 💫 🎭

RIP Maggie Smith 1934-2024 🥀 🖤

Storia Di Musica #350 - Miles Davis Quintet, Relaxin' With The Miles Davis Quintet, 1958

Per essere stata una piccola casa editrice musicale, la Prestige di Bob Weinstock è infarcita di leggende, come ho un po' raccontato in queste belle (per me, e spero pure per chi le ha lette) storie musicali novembrine. Che oggi toccano l'impressionante traguardo dei 350 dischi, e come tradizione vuole tocca a Miles Davis. Weinstock capì agli inizi degli anni '50 che Davis aveva un talento gigantesco sia come musicista ma forse ancora di più come band leader, tanto che fu uno dei suoi più grandi sostenitori ad intraprendere la costruzione di un suo gruppo. E Davis alla prima occasione dimostrerà il suo fiuto per la genialità musicale e nello scegliersi i musicisti, formando quello che è uno dei grandi gruppi di sempre, e apice dell'hard bop. Davis sceglie un giovane sassofonista della scuderia Prestige, John Coltrane, che in pochi anni diventerà uno dei giganti della musica del '900 e quella che è la sezione ritmica per eccellenza del genere: Red Garland al pianoforte, Paul Chambers al basso e contrabasso e Philly Joe Jones alla batteria. Siamo nel 1955: come accennato, Weinstock era uno che metteva la praticità davanti all'estetica, e spinge il quintetto a registrare. I musicisti la prendono come un'occasione per provare come suoneranno il repertorio dal vivo. Davis ha già registrato con la Prestige il suo primo disco da 12 pollici, The Musings Of Miles, nel 1955 con Oscar Pettiford al basso, e vedendo l'aura del personaggio crescere enormemente come seguito, Weinstock pubblicò in vari Lp tutte le registrazioni su disco da 10 pollici che Davis, con varie formazioni, aveva fatto agli inizi degli anni '50. Ai leggendari studi Van Gelder, Davis e il suo quintetto registrano in due date, passate alla storia del jazz: l'11 maggio e il 16 ottobre del 1956. Sono già così affiatati e coesi, la magia e la bravura a livelli così alti, che registrano moltissimo materiale, che il buon Weinstock è ben felice di avere, dato che ha notizie sicure che la Columbia vuole mettersi Davis sotto contratto, cosa che avverrà alla fine dello stessio anno, il 1956. Per questo motivo, e per la bellezza della musica, le intere quattro registrazioni vengono pubblicate come 4 dischi: Cookin' With The Miles Davis Quintet nel 1957, Relaxin' nel 1958, Workin' nel 1960 e Steamin' nel 1961. Sebbene Davis sia già passato ad altre magie stilistiche già nel 1958, quando pubblica quel capolavoro che è Milestones, i 4 dischi sono considerati insieme non solo uno dei gioielli del catalogo Prestige, ma come lo stato dell'arte del bop nella seconda parte degli anni '50.

Scelgo Relaxin' With The Miles Davis Quintet nella tetralogia perchè è unanimemente considerato il lavoro più palpitante e musicalmente ineccepibile, sebbene il repertorio scelto fosse, e da questo il titolo, il lato più intimo e dolce dei brani registrati. In questo disco la tromba di Davis, con i suoi interventi delicati e strutturati sulla ripresa di poche note caratteristiche del brano, diventerà iconica, tanto che chiunque pensi solo di avvicinarsi al suo stile verrà etichettato come "davisiano". Tra l'altro persino nelle versioni rimasterizzate più recenti, quelle del 2005 nientemeno che da Van Gelder in persona, rimangono ancora gli intermezzi di dialoghi all'inizio di ogni brano, dove Davis discute con i musicisti sul da farsi. In scaletta 6 brani, tutti standard, che in questa registrazione troveranno la loro forma definitiva: If I Were A Bell è un brano scritto da Frank Loesser per il famosissimo musical Guys And Dolls (uno dei grandi successi di Broadway, che ispirò il film Bulli E Pupe con Marlon Brando e Jean Simmons), qui è nella sua versione decisiva con gli assoli di Garlad e Coltrane e la tromba di Davis, che qui usa una sordina Harmon che diventerà una sorta di feticcio tra i trombettisti. You're My Everything è una canzone del 1931, altra canzone da un musical epocale è I Could Write A Book di Rodgers e Hart, cantata nella versione originale da Gene Kelly nel musical Pal Joey come It Could Happen To You, tratta dal film della Paramount And The Angels Sing del 1940. Due invece sono i brani scritti da jazzisti: Oleo è un brano di Sonny Rollins, il quale era molto stimato da Davis: i due spesso hanno suonato insieme, ma mai con assiduità, avendo un grande rispetto reciproco. L'altro brano è Woody 'n' You di Dizzy Gillespie, uno dei tre arrangiamenti realizzati da Gillespie per la big band di Woody Herman, anche se all'epoca non venne utilizzato; gli altri due erano Swing Shift e Down Under.

Nasce in questo disco la sintonia musicale quasi sincronica di Davis e Coltrane, che nel 1959 porteranno ai picchi inarrivabili di Kind Of Blue: la sezione ritmica diventerà lo standard, tanto è che Coltrane, che inizierà i suoi lavori solisti proprio con la Prestige, se li porterà appresso.

Il quintetto lavorerà fino al 1960, non senza dissidi e pause, primo fra tutti il fatto che Red Garland porterà Coltrane alla dipendenza dall'eroina, cosa che Davis non gli perdonerà mai (tanto è vero che Garland non suona in Kind Of Blue). Chambers, un genio, anche lui attraverserà una devastante dipendenza dalla droga e addirittura morirà per complicazioni da tubercolosi nel 1963, a 33 anni.

Nel 2006 la Concorde Records, che detiene il catalogo Prestige, pubblicherà in una scintillante confezione box da 4 cd The Legendary Quintet Sessions, che ai 4 capolavori aggiunge 'Round Midnight, presente in Miles Davis And The Modern Jazz Giants e una serie di registrazioni inedite in jazz club e show in televisione. Un tesoro per gli appassionati più accaniti, ma per un approccio genuino e affascinante al jazz basta ascoltare la bellezza del disco di oggi, una delle innumerevoli magie di Miles Davis.
