The Art of Divine Enchantment
Dear Reader, As I mentioned in last Friday’s newsletter, after 60 straight weeks of writing Second Drafts , I took a break this week to focus on playing the role of Grandfather in Orpheus Ascending this weekend. In my absence, I asked friend and fellow pilgrim, Jake Aharonian, to write a guest feature, and he knocked it out of the park (as I knew he would) . I hope you enjoy it. In response to last week’s feature on Christianity Today self-reporting on sexual harassment (and the problem with sexual harassment in general), I received this email from a reader:
“I’m going to offer my guess as to why this problem of sexual sin within our Christian institutions is occurring so often. I feel much of the blame falls on broad acceptance of artificial birth control both from churches and from parishioners. What seemed like such an amazing idea to free women from their natural God-given fertility so they could be more free to work or enjoy the physical act of marriage without the consequence of a child. This certainly applies to men also. With the removal of the consequence of children for men, they quit looking at their wives as something to be treasured and turned them into an object that could now be ‘open for business’ any day of the month. This could also apply to premarital relationships where respecting the girl you were courting and looking forward to marrying and being intimate with could now simply be viewed as on opportunity to ‘getting the milk for free without buying the cow.’ Factor in the secular world embracing this even more than Christians and we have the place we are at now. For time’s sake, I will spare you the diatribe about the prevalence of abortion, even amongst Christians, that yielded similar results as the Pill. When Christians submitted to these secular ills, we gained perceived power, then corruption, etc.”
I don’t disagree with the significance the reader attributes to birth control; fifty years after the fact, most of us can’t imagine the cultural shift that must have been then and even since . While the milk/cow analogy is familiar and perhaps not as nuanced as some may like, it gets at the mentality of getting something with no moral obligation to or for it, which as I suggested in last week’s newsletter is at the heart of harassment. The issue is not (just) sex, but power . I always enjoy hearing from my readers. As always, thanks for reading and writing to tell me so. Enjoy this week’s Second Drafts ( and thanks again, Jake, for giving me a break ). Craig P.S.: As a reminder, you’re welcome and encouraged to email me directly with feedback, ideas, links, etc. at cmdunham [at] gmail [dot] com . Just know that, unless you specifically tell me not to, I may quote you here (though it will always be anonymously).
Divine beings of enchantment are often depicted as both benevolent and mischievous. They may use their powers to bring about good fortune, healing, or protection, but they can also be capricious and unpredictable. In many myths and legends, humans who encounter these beings are warned to proceed with caution, as their powers can be dangerous if misused or if the beings are angered. The main idea of the concept of divine beings of enchantment is the belief in supernatural entities who possess extraordinary powers and abilities. These beings are often associated with magic, beauty, and the ability to manipulate the forces of nature. While they can bring about positive outcomes, they can also be capricious and potentially dangerous if not approached with respect and caution..
Reviews for "Embracing the Divine Being of Enchantment: A Path to Inner Peace and Joy"
1. John Doe - 1 star
I was extremely disappointed with "Divine Being of Enchantment". The plot was incredibly convoluted and difficult to follow, with too many unnecessary subplots that didn't add anything to the overall story. The characters lacked depth and were unrelatable, making it difficult to connect with them or care about their development. The writing style was also quite dull, lacking any sort of creativity or charm. Overall, I found this book to be a major letdown and would not recommend it to anyone.
2. Jane Smith - 2 stars
While "Divine Being of Enchantment" had an interesting concept, it fell short in execution. The pacing was all over the place, with moments of intense action followed by long stretches of boring dialogue. The world-building felt incomplete and left me with many unanswered questions. Additionally, the romance in the story felt forced and lacked chemistry. I also found the writing to be overly descriptive, dragging out scenes unnecessarily. Overall, I was left wanting more from this book and felt unsatisfied with the end result.
3. Robert Johnson - 1.5 stars
I didn't enjoy reading "Divine Being of Enchantment" at all. The plot was predictable and lacked originality, making it difficult to stay engaged. The characters were one-dimensional and their motivations felt contrived. The dialogue was also clunky and unnatural, making it hard to connect with the story. The writing style was also riddled with grammatical errors and awkward phrasing. In the end, I couldn't wait for this book to be over and would not recommend it to others.
