[In some ways, I am ‘Merican enuff to shun almost any value for royalty, just as the Constitutions of USA and Kentucky prohibit titles of nobility-- the “Gentlemen with Peerage” in Colony Virginia made literal bastards Stephens (formerly surname Stevens as proper English spelling) which was indeed a main reason for crossing the Eastern Mountains into “Kaintuck.” Edith Stein has an entire chapter in Die Frau, Woman which treats of a noble St. Elizabeth, which in better-flesh would have dealt with some saintly “Pug”/Cockney as I without any Peerage, BUT. . .]
At the end of this chapter, Stein gives me “the flesh” I spiritedly like better, about her putative differentiation between the faithwalk of human kind. . .
“In dem Bekenntnis zur ‘unverbildeten menschlichen Natur’ lebt der Glaube an eine formende Kraft im Menschen und sein Leben zu eine harmonischen, formvollenden Gebilde gestaltet. Wohl ist die Form im Innern verborgen,aber verstrickt in wuchernde Gewebe, die eine reine Auswirkung hemmen. . . Unsere Erkenntnis ist Stuckwerk; unser Wollen und Wirken, wenn es auf sie allein baut kann kein vollendetes Gebilde schaffen; kann es auch darum nicht, weil es Ziel zusammenbricht.” ‘In knowledge of ‘unformed human nature’ dwells Faith/belief on formation inhumans and their lives unto a harmonious, well-formed constitution. Exceedingly so, the formation is inwardly lost, rambling into a cobweb that kindles that which confines pure works. . .Our (feminine form) knowledge is but patchwork; our willingness and deeds, when she alone cannot make a well-formed constitution, such that as well meanwhile, as destroying Purpose.’
“Bad habits are facile; methinks due to the afterglow of the fire of Originalsin-- despite baptism an abundantly replicated concupiscence of humanity, often various by gender, but in all a love-of-mschief. I think that in my danglingly-evidenced-cis-gender, the ramble into flaming entanglements has been happily quelled in part by girly hormones (estrogen, progesterone, anti-androgen; now I am at peace loving all of Hers, but not for conjunction; I am now freer to serve Her, all woman kind being in Type or Archetype on the last of Maria Theotos, Mother of God, Mothers-All of Living. In other places, I think Stein has concurrence with this last postulate here. In good part,my shattered male hubris and Her Mercy as well as girling hormones are too making here in me a gentle man.
