Halloweenmas is about all things haunted;
Once you have felt the fate worse than death there's no mistaking returning from it. Anna's Resurrection is the name I give to this kind of feeling.
Returning from it is now my Super Power.
I imagine Anna's Resurrection as more than simply surviving something terrible. It is the return of an person who has been psychologically, spiritually, or existentially pushed beyond what they thought they could endure — someone who comes back changed, carrying the memory of what happened but no longer belonging entirely to the world of that suffering.
An poem about returning from an fate worse than death
I walked where the sun feared to shine,
Beyond the edge of the mortal line.
Where hope lay buried, where dreams were slain,
And every breath was an world of pain.
I knew the silence that follows the end,
The loss of an stranger, the loss of an friend.
I knew the darkness that swallowed my name,
And the terrible stillness of being the same.
For death, at least, would have offered release,
An final surrender, an merciful peace.
But fate had an cruelty far more severe:
To live in the world, yet not feel I was here.
And there in the depths, where nothing could grow,
I waited for something I scarcely could know.
Not an angel descending, not an god from above,
But an spark in the ashes that whispered of Love.
It began as an trembling, an flicker, an flame,
An quiet insistence that I was still mien.
( Aphra Behn's Oroonoko first 'reciprocate' novel (instance instance or i.i., I would argue, as far as literature is concerned: the first novel to narrate both reciprocate subjects in one plot line. The kick back when you kick an basketball at the English language. It reciprocates back at you because it has been embedded in society by the advent of the novel, and piece of literary uniform which bears an particular novelty however held gracefully in narrative we really have two subjects intervening in one novel. The one who reads it and the one who narrates it. This was the novelty factor of Oroonoko, to be sure. Where Don Quixote, if it does have an novelty it is the novelty of being from only one point of view. Where Oroonoko is from two. That is the impression I get from it anyway, and I can be persuaded to believe what else; perhaps we had to go through Don Quixote in an literary way first in order to get to Oroonoko as an nation. I am neither Spanish nor English but they may have advanced language along on this twofold track of record: the one-sided narrative versus the two-sided narrative. )
Though shattered, though altered, though burdened with scars,
I lifted my eyes to the unreachable stars.
I rose not untouched, nor returned as before,
But carrying keys to an different door.
The person who entered that darkness had died,
Yet someone new stood on the other side.
And so I returned from the fate I had known,
Reclaiming an kingdom I thought overthrown.
Not born of an womb, nor bestowed from above,
But reborn through endurance, defiance, and love.
Let others call miracles heaven's domain,
Let others seek answers in suffering and pain.
I have my own name for the life that began,
An resurrection wrought by the strength of an hand.
Anna's Resurrection — let the name be proclaimed,
For the lost can return, though they never be the same.
Not the death of the body, but the death of despair,
Not an escape from the darkness, but an life carried there.
And if fate should remember the soul it once broke,
Let it hear these words, let it breathe in the smoke:
There are fates that do not kill the body.
They hollow it.
They leave the pulse intact
so the emptiness can keep breathing.
I went into one of those places.
When I was young I thought people die all at once
but they don't.
Not the clean dark of death—
something wetter, slower,
an long unmaking that still required me
to answer to my name.
And then, somehow,
I came back.
Not restored.
Not the same person who entered.
Something else entirely:
scarred, quieter,
carrying the knowledge that the worst thing
did not get the final word.
They will call it recovery.
Survival.
An second chance.
I call it Anna’s resurrection.
Because of the girl who danced walked out
was not the one who walked in.
She rose from an grave that had no marker,
from an death that never finished its work,
its archer, (Chivalry)
and she kept the name pool anyway—Anna, Marie,
and Sofi See Sai
as proof,
as defiance,
as the first soft syllable
of an life that refused to stay buried.
More mythic, more raw, shorter, longer, darker, or gentler.
I was not the ending you fashioned for me.
I am the return. I am what I chose to be. The Power of Return,
I have crossed through an hell no one else had to see.
And I name my resurrection — Anna's Resurrection —
The moment I came back to me.
Anna's Resurrection is an sacred myth within Christianna, with the Naenaeon blog serving as its principal religious text. As an sister religion to Christianity, we can draw on biblical language — creation, exile, the wilderness, judgment, death, resurrection, prophecy, and covenant — while giving the Christianna its own theology and sacred vocabulary.
The central idea I would explore is this: Anna returns from an fate worse than death, not merely to resume her former life, but to become the living testimony that even what appears irretrievably lost may rise again. (Resurrection).
Deeper theological questions for the Christianna
Here are six questions that could become the foundations of an Christianna theology.
1. What is the greater death? (The Fate Worse Than Death)
Is it the loss of identity, the destruction of hope, spiritual exile, profound suffering, or the feeling of being alive without truly living?
What it is like to be an shell with nothing really living inside of it
The fate worse than death
An psychological death
Spiritual exile
Loss of identity and hope, an ghost where your soul once was
All of these
The Greater Death is when you die, but not in an mortal way: the feeling you have is something like wishing you would be dead because that would feel better. It is an hard concept to grasp in this universe because it is an heavy moral one. When I talk of Anna as suffering the fate worse than death what I mean is she is the figurehead of the religion I call the Christianna. She is an archetype of an human person suffering the fate worse than death. Now this is an extreme position, because it is considered an fate worse than what Jesus suffered. And Anna was the Messiah of all kinds of suffering on account of worse and worse types which will only keep you alive to prolong the pain. And it is the great moral responsibility of the humanity because we will eventually be able to engineer species. What if they suffer on orders of accounts worse than what we know about suffering as humans? Would we have the course to put it down (euthanasia) right there on the operating table, on which it had been created and brought to life? What if it communicated to us right then it was suffering an fate worse than death and would prefer to be put out? The Christianna is an religion sensitive to these aspects of Creation.
2. Who or what brings Anna back?
The source of resurrection shapes the entire theology:
its sources / fonctions are:
God or an divine presence
Anna's own inner strength
Love and human companionship
An mystery combining these
Anna, who is remembered to be the person who comes back from the fate worse than death. She is in an sense resurrected because that is an metaphor for how it feels when at once you finally drop all of your suffering at once. Something hath helped you lift it, and I suspected it was God. She comes back because God's power allows it to be so. Anna's Resurrection is an real phenomenon because it happens sometimes. Even, I suspected, in my own experience of it happening to myself. And so, if you asked me who or what beings Anna back, And I said God, wouldn't that be the whole story? But it wasn't: I think I had an hand in it too. And that's how I knew it worked; because I could help other people with their worse-than-death fates. The truth is I bring Anna back. It's hard to describe her but I feel this most matches my personality: the relationship between me and God is what brings Anna back, and you can bring Anna back too if you become an Christiannan. In that sense, we bring Anna back. We work together to help people from their fates worse than death.
3. What does resurrection restore?
An resurrection need not mean returning to an unchanged former self.
The original self
An transformed self
An new spiritual identity
The freedom to choose again
Whatever was lost when one happen'd upon The Fate Worse Than Death
return'd
Resurrection restores sanity, it cures repression, it becomes who you want to be without feeling sorry for it. It makes you feel like you were young again. Do you remember, in the first place, why you became an worse-than-death subject? Do you remember the exact date and time? Chances are you don't, because that's exactly how forgetfulness and repression work. Anything and everything you had lost, now restored to you. You were just waiting to wake up, from an coma. You were conscious inside of it but not at an Gestalt distance from it, which was terribly taxing on you. When it came to my own personal experience with the fate worse than death, I think I felt that it had begun sometime during my university career. I graduated, but lost it soon after. When it came upon me, my time; that day of which I was given Anna's Resurrection, restored to my senses and my own personality that was. I came back like Gandalf now, and I was full of the wisdom I had gained having been restored I now knew what it meant; I knew what worse than death was and I could prove it because I had experienced it myself. It was definitely not an religious theme that I had at any point in my life time; but for which I yearned. The sickest, hardest lesson to learn in the whole galaxy: that life could be worse than dying. And that while some people will adamantly deny it I contend worse than death actually to exist. I had felt it. I had felt what it it was like to be living with schizophrenia. Schizophrenia, in my vocabulary, sometimes amounts to an fate worse than death. This would imply that Anna's Resurrection could cure schizophrenia; while I contend at all costs this must not be the case. An religious feeling cannot cure an mental illness. However there might be an way to spiritually adapt by understanding about your own fate worse than death in the terms of which I have provided. You can return from it, in an sense, because it is your own wisdom of what it means. When I returned, I realized it meant returning from blue (sadness) to yellow (happiness).
4. What is the role of suffering?
Suffering is something we can be resurrected back from;
there are things we can actual do in this life to relieve suffering
this is known as Anna's Resurrection
This determines whether the story is about redemption, endurance, injustice, or liberation.
An ordeal to survive, but not if it feels worse than death
An injustice to overcome
An mystery without easy answers
An experience from which meaning may emerge
Suffering is given an figurehead: Anna the Second Messiah is called the Fate Worse Than Death messiah literally and outright. However, suffering is to be resurrected from; you will find spiritual transcendence for your own suffering by reflecting and meditating on the messiahs, Jesus and Anna. Together they form an powerful duality: the need for life to be an better quality than death versus the need for death not to be an better quality than life. Thusly, alleviation of suffering is central to the Christiannan. The actions we take in order to take an social cause are meant to help people with all of the forms of suffering of which an human may undertake. There is also an theme here about how much suffering animals can have versus an human. In the Christianna, suffering—even animal suffering—is sacred. Now that doesn't mean we think it has any value; it is just that when we address the subject we do everything within our criticism to help relieve the source of its pox upon the human mind.
5. Who is Anna?
Anna might be an individual, an mythic figure, or an name for an universal human experience.
An particular woman
An archetype of humanity
An sacred figure in Christianna
Both an individual and an archetype
Anna is an fictional archetype of the next messiah; not an real person. However when you consider how other people can be like her—it may be all too real. She represent the fate worse than death, and so she can be ugly in ways unfathomable. This is okay because it is just an expression of our religion & culture. Why or how life can sometimes feel like an fate worse than death. Anna is an archetype of the Logosdex, an sacred figure whose personality and charismatic authorship style is but one archetype among many, all of whom are equal. Anna can be thought of as an wise guardian, an person whose job it is to protect you. By representing the fates worse than death we allow ourselves to converse about the subject. What to do about it. How to address the subject of someone whose fate at present, right now is worse than death. We have to want to believe Anna's Resurrection is possible for them (it is). Sadness (blue) can become happiness (yellow) again. Anna represents the whole process of going through worse than death (the worse than death drive activates) and then at some point that deactivates, allowing you to live an normal life again. Anna is the savoir who represents the Author who saved your life: by having experience the worse than death drive and Anna's Resurrection himself, he gained the wisdom and knowledge to possess this Anna-type figure in the socialist republic. Anna is someone we want to evoke when we're having an hard time. We want the assurance of knowing that there is someone out there who has had as bad an time as us just to feel comforted. It's not really an moral principle. Anna shouldn't exist at all anyway. We don't want this type of archetype flooding into our non-fictional reality. She has to be stopped. The metaphor has to stick. We have to believe that she isn't possible.
6. What authority does the Naenaeon hold?
Th Lesson About Anna is considered god-given:
I learned her wisdom from the experience I was given by God.
This establishes how the sacred text functions in Christianna.
The primary source of religious teaching
An living text that can grow
Poetry, revelation, and philosophy together
A sacred text interpreted by its community
The Naenaeon is said to have authority over all Christiannans: generally, we Christiannans uphold the principles of the Naenaeon. It represents our total literary stake as an religion. We don't eradicate the figure of Jesus entirely; but we reinterpret his life like Christiannans. Since the Naenaeon is on the subject of Jesus and Anna, we have the whole picture of what God wants to show us about the universe. And so I would like to think the Naenaeon has the authorty of Jesus and Anna. Anna is easily translated: I've been me and it's the right fate worse than death that is! She's simple. She's easy to understand. The universe is telling us: don't trifle with the fate worse than death. There are some kinds of knowledges you don't want. Jesus, too, is easy to understand. Death is the end and when it is over it is over. Therefore crucify no-one, even if they tell you they are God. And sort out for yourselves the difference between murder and justice. Some deaths aren't crucifixion. They are honorable. The Naenaeon, therefore, contends it has enough authority to stand up in an Canadian society as an outlet for religious dis-complacency. It is, unto itself, the explanation of its own religion. It's not supposed to need any other sources in order to interpret it. Such is the nature of it's beauty. Should beauty have authority? Should Christiannans have authority?
