    • Vision - From The Life Of Hildegard Von Bingen - Official U.S. Trailer:

    The story of twelfth-century Benedictine abbess Hildegard von Bingen—a Christian mystic, author, counselor, naturalist, scientist, philosopher, physician, herbalist, poet, channeller, visionary, composer and polymath—directed by New German Cinema legend Margarethe von Trotta and starring Barbara Sukowa. VISION opens October 13th.

    Hildegard von Bingen was truly a woman ahead of her time. A visionary in every sense of the word, this famed 12th-century Benedictine nun was a Christian mystic, composer, philosopher, playwright, poet, naturalist, scientist, physician, herbalist and ecological activist.

    In Vision - from the Life of Hildegard von Bingen, New German Cinema auteur Margarethe von Trotta (Marianne and Juliane, Rosa Luxemburg, Rosenstrasse) reunites with recurrent star Barbara Sukowa (Zentropa, Berlin Alexanderplatz) to bring the story of this extraordinary woman to life. In a staggering performance, Sukowa portrays von Bingen’s fierce determination to expand the responsibilities of women within the order, even as she fends off outrage from some in the Church over the visions she claims to receive from God. Lushly shot in the original medieval cloisters of the fairytale-like German countryside, Vision is a profoundly inspirational portrait of a woman who has emerged from the shadows of history as a forward-thinking and iconoclastic pioneer of faith, change and enlightenment.

    Ten facts about Hildegard von Bingen
    https://www.attenboroughcentre.com/n...ard-von-bingen

    1. Hildegard von Bingen was the first ever named composer. Although she had no musical training, she is considered the most prolific composer of the middle ages. Her hauntingly beautiful music is arguably the most enduring to come out of medieval Catholicism and Hildegard’s music was first played in the UK to mark her octocentenary in 1979. The first recorded album A Feather on the Breath of God won a Grammy in 1983 and went on to sell more than half a million copies. German composer Klaus Zundel shared disco remixes of her soaring monodies with Ibizan ravers in the late 1990s.

    2. Hildegard von Bingen lived until the age of 80 at a time when average life expectancy was 41.

    3. At the tender age of three Hildegard first saw a heavenly light: a life was defined by rapturous multisensory visions. Contemporary analysis suggest she was a migraine sufferer, however.

    4. She is celebrated as the founder of German naturalism and considered (one of) the first woman doctors and the first woman scientist. She compiled two substantial systematic works Physica - a study of botany, zoology, stones, metals and elements and Causae et Curae - a study of the causes and consequences of disease, with plant-based remedies.

    5. Hildegard ran surgeries, offering advice on health in general, and sexual relations. Considering her lifetime’s confinement in monastic institutions, she had an impressive grasp of the heterosexual sex life: “When a woman is making love with a man, a sense of heat in her brain, which brings forth with it sensual delight, communicates the taste of that delight during the act and summons forth the emission of the man’s seed.”

    6. Metal fans love her compositions and many 21st century music journalists cite the ‘origins of metal’ as sitting within Hildegard’s work.

    7. From a contemporary perspective, Hildegard was the original ecological activist too: “The earth which sustains humanity must not be injured. It must not be destroyed!” ~ “Glance at the sun. See the moon and stars. Gaze at the beauty of the green earth. Now think.”

    8. Many of Hildegards’s visions were prophetic. It seems she also foresaw the perils of fake news and manipulated social media: “We cannot live in a world that is not our own, in a world that is interpreted for us by others. An interpreted world is not a home. Part of the terror is to take back our own listening, to use our own voice, to see our own light.”

    9. Hildegard saw music as the ultimate connection with the divine. She tells us: “There is the music of Heaven in all things.”

    10. One of Hildegard’s more mundane divine revelations was the design of a plumbing and draining system for her monastery.And this is fun… so one more….

    11. “Cerevisiam Bibat! (drink beer for health)” Hildegard of Bingen.

    I've only just discovered this thread. (See, what do I know about the Avalon forum...?? )

    It's immediately obvious there's a huge feast of valuable information, wisdom and insights here, and maybe more than that. She lived in the 12th century (1098—1179) and in many ways was 900 years ahead of her time. And she might still be ahead of her time even if she lived today.

    Hildegard of Bingen (1944) | Full Movie | Patricia Rutlige | James Runcie (47 min)
    Hildegard of Bingen was one of the most remarkable women of the Middle Ages—an Abbess and woman of God, a visionary, naturalist, playwright, political moralist, and composer. Born in 1098, she was beset by the most extraordinary religious visions from the age of eight-visions which she wrote down, painted, dramatized, and set to music. This substantial legacy of her visionary writings and songs are unique for their mystic power and beauty. They serve as some of the most radiant and illuminating accounts of religious experience ever. Yet, despite this outpouring of religious creativity, her visions were called into questions, and she was put on trial by the Church in 1148.

    This is the story of events leading up to that trial and of the trial itself. The setting is the monastery of St. Disibod on the Rhine in central Germany. Hildegard's befriending of a young persecuted girl and the care she shows for a dying crusader eventually lead her into conflict with her Abbot. She is placed under an interdict, which results in Hildegard and her nuns being forbidden from taking communion and singing the divine service. After enduring the punishment for some time, Hildegard protests, and it is her subsequent examination and trial by the Archbishop of Mainz around which the story revolves. This beautiful film features excerpts from Hildegard's own mystically powerful writing as well as her exquisite songs of prayer.

    Arrow Re: Hildegard von Bingen

    I am sharing with you an extract from the book “the secrets of health and well-being” by Saint Hildegard of Bingen, the author Daniel Maurin,
    There is a large part which results from the choice of the author, from these beliefs and certainly practice of the Catholic religion. Out of six chapters, only two caught my attention Heavenly food (quote: tell me what you eat and I will tell you who you are)

    It is a question of the foods of joy: body – soul – spirit, for Hildegarde it is not only a question of nourishing the body well, it is also necessary to nourish it well through mental hygiene, because the content of our thoughts is as important as the contents of our plate. These foods of joy: spelled, fennel, fruits, dairy products (the latter certainly has nothing to do with what is sold on the supermarket shelves) because in the past we went to get fresh milk from the farmer, good milk whole raw and it is not for nothing that today there has been a counter-use of dairy products and diseases associated with a diet overloaded with lactose.

    There is still talk of ancient cereals, chestnuts, bread (but in the past the wheat grown was pesticide-free and it was not at all the same ears as those used for white bread today), vegetables in especially watercress and dandelion, the latter was widely consumed by our grandparents, you just had to go to the countryside to pick it between February and March before the flowers bloomed in April. Oleaginous fruits, the one recommended by Hildegarde, the almond for those who had an empty brain, I would add walnuts because the shape makes you think of the brain.

    […] Hildegard was not vegetarian, but she recommended practicing fasting regularly which consisted of consuming a kind of soup made from vegetables, spelled and selected spices taken in the morning and at midday and in the evening we prepared either a herbal tea, fruit or vegetable juice. Certainly a way to purify the body from meals that are usually too copious. A physical discipline that was combined with religious practice. Hildegard especially recommended river fish such as trout, pike, perch, roach, carp... regarding meats: chicken, deer, deer, duck, sheep, beef or the animals of the time hunted or raised on farms like butter, cheeses and eggs which have nothing to do in quality with what we can consume today!
    Regarding plants, anthemis was recommended against black bile, it is found everywhere in spring and psyllium. What is still mentioned: mint, lavender, centipede, nettle, sage, wild thyme, hyssop, licorice, parsley, sage, wild thyme, bay leaf and some spices: galangal ( commonly used in traditional Asian cuisines), nutmeg, cinnamon, pepper, cumin, cloves, etc.

    There would also be foods of sadness which Hildegard recommended avoiding or preparing in a certain way to make them more digestible. In cereals, barley and millet, for vegetables and legumes, leek unless soaked in vinegar, raw onions, cooked garlic, raw (cooked) cabbage in salad with nuts, cheese, black olives and white cabbage, which is more tender than red cabbage, watermelons, certain mushrooms, lentils (the more digestible coral variety). among the fruits: strawberries (unless you soak them in wine), peaches, plums or make a homemade pie. Two meats were kept aside: pork (in Muslim culture pork is considered impure) and horse. Spices ginger and mustard

    1000 years ago, certain foods were not known to Hildegard because they appeared on the market much later.

    Precious stones (the 12 chosen stones are indicated in the “Pectoral of the high priest”
    Agate for intelligence
    Blue chalcedony for peace and speech
    Amethyst for a radiant complexion
    Beryl for serenity
    Chrysolite for the know-how
    Diamond for fasting (it was recommended to suck it to save food before each meal)
    Sardonyx for purity of the senses
    Hyacinth for chastity
    Jasper for problem solving
    Onyx against sadness
    Ruby against evil spirits
    Sapphire for intelligence
    Sardonyx for clear perceptions
    (Source manual of medicine according to doctors Gottfried Hertzka and Wighard Strehlow)
    Originally these 12 stones were associated with the 12 tribes of Israel, then later with the 12 signs of the zodiac wheel

    There is a large part in the book of health and spirituality, the two being linked so that harmony is balanced between the body, mind and soul, choosing to nourish only the body and neglecting the health of the mind and soul will trigger imbalance by developing sadness associated with certain foods promoting unhappiness which has spread in our modern society through an exaggeration of junk food sold at 90% in supermarkets. supermarkets! This is what we must understand today, because everything is done not for our well-being, but to create false beliefs about miracle products. We are still in the Age of Pisces and the belief systems that have passed from generation to generation.
    I think it will still take time before the shift in beliefs shifts from one point of view to another. In her time Hildegard was an avant-garde on health precepts that we have in our modern society overused to the point of repressing, what is really good for oneself. How many fake foods are sold in the market today, passing them off as health foods. What is important is to consume seasonal foods and not so-called miraculous foods, which are not exploited for simple profit and which sometimes come from the other side of the planet where we are going to exploit them. large scale. In the past, health foods were the fruits and vegetables that you harvested from your garden.

    Holy spirit, making life alive,
    moving in all things, root of all created being,
    cleansing the cosmos of every impurity, effacing guilt,
    anointing wounds.
    You are lustrous and praiseworthy life,
    You waken and re-awaken everything that is.
