Rather than as objects of the external world, stars are perceived as shapeless forms in the firmament of the mind or soul. In ultima analysi, a star is a 'code' for the soul itself, which unites with the primordial light of the sun, that is, of God. Such consummately 'internalised' astronomy or astro-logy is a unique phenomenon in late ancient religiosity, so far left unaddressed in the scholarshipČe je Origen v okviru tedanje helenistične filozofije vedno govoril o zvezdah kot o zunanjih kozmičnih bitnostih, ki so precej podobni angelom, le da imajo snovna telesa, pa so njegov poznejši učenec Evagrij Pontski in za njim nestorijanski sirski mistiki 7. in 8. stoletja takšna kozmološka razglabljanja v okviru svoje mistike izrazito radikalizirali. Zvezde zanje niso več objekti zunanjega sveta, ampak brezoblični liki na firmamentu uma oziroma duše. In ultima analysi pa je zvezda "šifra" za dušo samo, ki se zedinja s primordialno svetlobo Sonca, se pravi Boga. Takšna do skrajnosti "interiorizirana" astronomija oziroma astro-logija je edinstven pojav na poligonu poznoantične religioznosti in doslej v strokovni literaturi še ni bil obravnavanTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza v Ljubljani, Filozofska fakulteta
