Sinopsis

In this lecture, I layout and give Beatrice's response to the following major questions from the Sphere of the Moon:    1)If heaven is perfect, and above the earth, it cannot be made of matter, but how do I, Dante, move in heaven if I have a body which is made of matter? (1-97-99)  2)Why does the moon appear to have dark spots if it is in heaven, and heaven is perfect? (2.49-51)  3)How do humans take what they see with their senses and then understand what they see with their intellects? (4.43-61)  4)What makes an oath unbreakable? What are the parts of an oath, and under what conditions may an oath be broken? (5.13-15)  5)If a vow is broken by the force of another, why would I be blamed for breaking the vow? (4.19-21)  6) Bonus: Why do souls not long for a higher place in paradise? (3.64-66)  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/alexander-schmid9/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/alexander-schmid9/support
