This one is gold

I rarely read Luther (for some reason). Probably because Lutheran church doctrine is not my thing.

But this:

is pure gold.

Notice the two conscious shocks in it. That is not far-fetched. They are right there. Meditation is the first, the more vaguely defined, though understandable, tentatio is the second.

Interesting that prayer is first (interesting in the context of the two conscious shocks).

The tone of that whole article is purely of a regenerate soul. It is modern because it rises up above its era. His donkey ears metaphor reminds me of the knight riding an ass in Parzival. - C.

ps- This article you could make a year-long project. I mean, some things should be foundational and remembered. I usually put such posts and emails on my Fourth Way or '+' blog and read through them every now and then. But lately I've had the idea to read the Bible in the Third State of self-remembering, so it has present meaning to me. Basically what Luther is talking about above.
