The Metaphysics and Phenomenology of Angels and the Cosmology of Creation 👼🏾🌍🪐✨🌖 #cosmology

Dr. Donald Wallenfang, OCDS discusses the being of the angels in relation to the metaphysical order of creation. Drawing from the Jewish Kabbalah tradition of the tsim-tsum, Wallenfang reflects on the hollowing out of divinity for the created universe to take its place. The logic of the double negative demonstrates the nature of individual personal spiritual beings in relation to material being. The philosophical methods of classical metaphysics and contemporary phenomenology are employed to access the different kinds of beings that populate the cosmos. A metaphysical cosmology is depicted with help from phenomenological description of the meanings and possibilities that structure common lived experience.
