Relationship of man and God in the context of dwelling

In the essay, mentioned by Heidegger, with the example of the Greek Temple. It is the architecture and make a place, the earth presence. The art does not represent but present. The figure of the god was enclosed and this created a holy precinct with the presence of the god.

3 very important points about what to be preserved in the truth of art. 1) the temple makes "the god present". 2) the temple fits together and shapes the destiny of human being. 3) the temple that makes all things on earth visible.

This could sound a little exaggerated but I think it is possible if we really see through. For example that I know, Mayijima Shrine in Japan, with the Torii in the sea, it enables us to view over the sea, the sky, and everything on earth.

In a website article, "The god or goddess was represented by a cult image— usually a seated or standing statue— which occupied the central place in the temple." "The greek temples were meant to serve as homes for the individual god or goddess who protected and sustained the community. Their houses were the finest, equipped with a staff of servants to look after their every need." http://www.odysseyadventures.ca/articles/greektemple/greek_temple.htm

This can see that when the temples was treated as a home for the god, the god or goddess must be staying inside, and the temple being holy, there when the human go inside, they will feel very near to the god, with their presence inside, visually can see the figure in the center of the temple.

It is mostly centralized form in the arrangement of the sacred places like temple, mosque, church. Church's having an axis, and centralized at the place where the pastor and father would stand. Normally with a big cross in the middle, and I guess through this way, the people would feel the relationship between them with the god. However, in christian, where I heard from my friend, god is always living in everyone's heart as long as u believe god's existence. Controversy?

==================================================================

Relationship of Man and Nature

Fourfold of earth, sky, mortals and divinities, which are mirror to each other. and we really used to think of world in terms of physical, social or culture structure, but we forgot about other important thing, which is the nature. Very true as described in the essay! And the mirror-play mention above constitutes the world, an open "between". Everything's actually staying in between. man in between sky and earth, birth and death,joy and pain etc.

With nature as the concrete things on earth, it actually shape human beings. However in this decade, I realize human no longer wanted to live in "between". They go beyond, into the space outside earth. They never appreciate the site and nonstop digging the resources no matter it's recoverable or not. In the end, the nature will still get back the side effect on us, which can be seen at the green house effect that's happening

==================================================================

Place and Space

Heidegger with a concept saying "Things visit mortals" with an example of jug and bridge. The bridge gathers the earth as landscape around the stream. it gives some kind of live to the land through structure. It does not just connect banks that are already there, but they emerge as banks only as the bridges crosses the stream. The bridge thus makes a place come into presence. Earth and landscape is not merely topographical concepts here anymore.

Here compliments the thought that was brought up in the essay last week, how a spot become a place in human's eye, and from place to space. Last week was with the psychological setting of human, when we know the place and it plays a significance matter, the space would become a space. And here in the same way, when a structure of art, of architecture, is there, the things all around will be gathered and it would be place. It's the art that makes all the things present.

and everything on earth have become one, as a whole of totality.

Space, what is within the world, is within space. Still going through the same type of theory last week, a space could be describe and classified with words such as below, above, on top and so on.
===================================================================

Language

Language have been one of the art as well. In the essay, it was said that nature was somehow could be expressed in away of language, of poetry. "Itself was poetry, in the essential sense" and "Language by naming beings for the first time, first brings beings to word n to appearance"

and same theory as the place and space, the language, when a things was first name, then it would be recognize. Quite agree with this as well. When we never name it, it never could have been a real object. However, even if we name it, it could be one of the legend that happens before, jsut like the hanging garden of Babylon, with a lot of stories yet nobody really know it's existence.

Language as been a very useful tool to capture eternity. Words, poems. Like the literature we study in secondary school, "Sonnet 18", William Shakespear wrote that his lover's beauty, would now be captured eternally in his poem, even after a century or forever, as long as someone's reading his poem, they would know her beauty, is uncomparable for him. So beautiful. So touching. But I guess technoloogy created pictures, could save memories as well., lol

Language keeps the world. People could only understand things in language. I guess not only words. There are pictorial language, braille which uses the touching sense as well. As long as the human being could understand and communicate. With art, and without words, can a building be telling us stories and meanings underneath it, this is a very important point.

so amazing when the nature could be express poetically through a myth story in language, the god and goddess, zeus, mnemosine and so much more.
===================================================================

Dwellings

There Heidegger says human dwells between "work and word". Amazing. Where things are actually in mutual relationship, in a tension. The word opens up a world and the work makes the world present. woooohoo. And there, the human nurse n nurther the things that grow, and construct things that do not grow. Human nowadays seldom nurture things anymore, instead, they cut down trees, kill animals for their own benefits.

Buildings are constructed things, which gather a world and allow for dwelling. When thr's a piece of art, of architecture, when the nature has been gathered , the place could be an inhabited and known landscape.
