I have significantly restructured and simplified my site. Discrete Ideas has been live for ~3 months and over that time my vision for what I want it to be has shifted and grown. I am hoping that now it will be easier to navigate for first time visitors as I have removed the bloated number of sub-pages.

I am excited to see what the future holds for your site! How has your vision changed recently? Is it in connection to your recent entry in your chronicles?

Hi duvarki, it's more that I am focusing on the Chronicles posts as a way to write essays. When I started I expected I would write whole essays in one go - but its really not very realistic given the time requirements

I see, that does make sense. Mine took a year and a bit to write, so a more short-form way of sharing thoughts makes sense and I find it quite tempting myself. I just don't have many opinions or thoughts that I feel can be sufficiently justified with just a few words. But your approach does sound appealing, to share ideas as they come in order to compile them into a coherent essay if need be.

I have kind of the same feelings as you, that not only am I unqualified, but I'm a catechumen myself. I often feel like its not appropriate for me to be a teacher and I have to carefully navigate that. I look at the content on my site as anecdotes about my experiences and how I got to this point, so that maybe other other people can find their way, but ultimately we have to point people to real teachers.

I think that’s a great way to think about it. And yeah I think it’s natural that people like you and I would want to share our thoughts and perspectives but my hope is that, ultimately, people go to an actual Church. Btw I quite liked your posts about the practicalities of actually going to Church from the perspective of a former Atheist - it can be daunting

A theological telling of Star Wars. Cliché I am aware although the theological implications may be a tad controversial.

I had fun reading it! I haven't seen the Star Wars movies, but I think there is some truth to the monomyth idea

I can only vaguely remember seeing The Force Awakens, it kinda turned me off from watching the rest I think

That's your problem - I can't blame you for not getting into it if the Force Awakens was your introduction. When I wrote "by this I mean the six proper films" I excluded the force awakens.

Haha I see. If I were to start watching the series, where should I start? I heard someone recommend Rogue One before

Rogue one is quite good considering its a new film. But I would say two paths are best: Story order (Episode 1, 2, 3 (the prequels), rouge 1, episodes 4 , 5, 6 (original trilogy) Or release order to get the authentic experience (4, 5, 6, 1, 2, 3)

an HTML formatter is a useful tool. I had AI write one up for me so I can dump in my blog posts and get a full page HTML file without much of any effort.

I did see that and think it was a neat idea. Although my posts are just paragraphs in tags for the most part. Mainly I don’t post on my site when I’m not at my computer, which try to avoid on weekends

Article XVII, the longest article, has given me much comfort when it comes to the doctrine of predestination. I therefore treat it as one that I should not try to meditate upon as it is, much like the Trinity, incomprehensible to our minds bound to space and time. I believe it was St. Ignatius who said "pray like it all depends on God, work like it all depends on you". This thought has been sufficient for me.
I'm not sure. I think the trinity is something we can and should meditate upon and the same with predestination - that doesn’t mean we will understand them because of-course the very idea of an infinite God is not indescribable with finite thought or words.
sorry: "is indescribable " not "is not indescribable"
Perhaps meditate wasn't the right word to use. I meant that we shouldn't try to understand it fully, and that we should live accepting a reality we won't be able to comprehend. The article does indeed say that predestination should be a comfort to believers, but it can lead to all sorts of weird places if you were to try and dig deeper in a rational kind of way. I appreciate that Anglicanism leaves it at that.
Yes your probably right. Like I said in my post my thinking is basically vibes based "I think I have free will because I feel like I have free will" - I think this is a rational way to think, but to say much more I would need to study the corpus of Christian (and non Christian) writers who have thought about the topic a great deal.
