Grief, marriage, fairy tales, the Bardo,dreams. Still, there are certain refrains, themes, preoccupations. That is, in her memoir Davis gives us an astonishing amount, but a certain necessary and impenetrable privacy remains.ĭavis’ memoir is structured so that its dozens and dozens of vignettes may be experienced as intersecting facets of meditative reminiscence. The overall experience of reading Aurelia, Aurélia corresponded to what I feel about the almost spectral compositions of Erik Satie, which is that he creates startlingly pitched vignettes of melancholy, which we can fully receive into the soul, but we should never think that we can feel what Satie felt in order to compose them.
To be sure-must be called a memoir, but in essence it can only be fit into a much loftier category of literary regard: a work of great originality. Though all of l08 pages in length, the narrative-not strictly chronological-arcs all the way from Davis’ childhood up to her present-day widowhood, and what is even more remarkable is that its emotional dimensions are symphonic. Davis’ husband Eric, an “ecological economist,” died of cancer in 2019, and throughout Aurelia, Aurélia where there is not outright elegy there is elegiac anticipation. Those accusations can cause you mental defeat and lead to things like depression.In Kathryn Davis’ new memoir Aurelia, Aurélia life becomes more precious, language more urgent, and grief strikes deep chords. When someone accuses you of wrongdoing and you are innocent it may cause you to doubt, fear, and cower. In the book of Job it says that the enemy patrols the earth, watching and waiting to find someone to accuse. Accusations – Satan is the accuser of the brethren.If you are having thoughts of condemnation and feeling like you are unloved by God then you are under attack. The Lord says that you are a new creation in Christ and that all things are new. Condemnation – Perhaps you cannot seem to escape the feeling of shame and condemnation over your past.
Are you believing lies instead of truth today about who God says you are? Are you stuck in a place of doubt? Satan will attempt to deceive you into believing in him instead of what God says in his Word.
He caused her to doubt what God had said to her. From the very first time he entered the scene he started off by deceiving Eve. Below I’ve listed the tactics that you need to be aware of… However, spiritual warfare is real and it is intended to make us feel defeated. By no means does Satan have the power that God does and he is greatly inferior. The battle ensues, but the victory is ours in Christ. Demonic influences are at play and the attacks on the mind are one of the many tactics that the kingdom of darkness uses against us. I do want to clarify that while Satan himself isn’t exactly the culprit, spiritual warfare stems from him. Satan causes confusion and makes you question just about anything. He can make you believe things that aren’t true or that never took place. He often disguises himself as our own thoughts and inflicts various wounds by planting bad seeds. What isn’t new is his strategies, he is always attempting to devour us so we need to be able to recognize them. He has been doing it from the beginning and he won’t be changing anytime soon. It is no big revelation to hear that Satan attacks the mind. As we are in the discussion of spiritual warfare on my blog I only found it fitting to Feature Gretchen Fleming’s blog post “ 3 Ways to Stand Firm Against the Lies of the Enemy“.
