Of Cosmic Proportions

It came to my attention that the levels of heaven are divided by the seven planets in the solar system. This reading could not come at a better time considering the topics discussed at the honors lecture last Friday. The lecture was a foundation to Dr. Ward's book Planet Narnia in which he assigns each of C.S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia a Planet. Furthermore, he described the spiritual aspects that relates  medieval cosmology and the concurring spiritual symbols to the plot and depth of the books. It is interesting then entering into Paradiso with this on my mind. This made the complex descriptions of each layer so interesting and I would love to study this topic further. 

Side note. As I was reading this a friend leaned over and with a concerned look on her face ask if the trinity reminded me of the horcruxes in Harry Potter. This made me laugh so hard that I felt the need to share it. 

P.S. I commented on Brannen's post!
