The Journey: Transcendence Attracting in Schubert's Songs of a Wanderer

by Frank Ruppert

Overview

The Journey explores the ascent of a wanderer, everyman, toward a better world. The journey is facilitated by unique epistemological understandings of life that have a rich history and found important expression in German genius 200 years ago. This genius reached a highpoint in the art of Franz Schubert, most notably in his major instrumental compositions, epic works each of which was inspired by poetry.

In the face of the opposites of love and sorrow, hope and despair Schubert created a synthesis that reflects the sometimes hidden best of Christianity, constituting a unique kind of liturgy for The Journey. Seekers will be rewarded by this unique, in-depth experience of the ascent towards the transcendental Source and Goal of our dream.

About the Author

At the age of 20, Frank Ruppert entered a Roman Catholic seminary in Baltimore and at the age of 25 was ordained a priest for the Archdiocese of Washington, DC while earning a licentiate in theology at the Gregorian University in Rome. Ten years later Ruppert, along with other Washington priests, took public issue with Pope Paul VI on birth control and the rights of conscience. Ruppert left the priesthood. His interests focus upon the need for a better philosophy and deeper spirituality today. These can replace war-hungry Marxism and Woke with the health and growth that can flow from synthesis with its receptivity to transcendental invitation in the face of opposites.
