Development of Theology of Energy The Three Purposes of this Theology of Energy: 1) To promote the reality of God's Uncreated Energy (an Eastern Orthodox concept of God's grace, power and presence) and its relationship with created energy (in its various major forms or types) for the Divine Heavenly Family, i.e., the Most Holy Trinity and Its whole Family of Holy Angels and Saints; 2) To help renew or reaffirm the Roman Catholic faith --- according to the Magisterium --- for the Divine Heavenly Family; 3) To help educate and bring as many people as possible forever into the Divine Heavenly Family. A Handbook of Theology of Energy* As philosophy is the very foundation of theology, this handbook of Theology of Energy includes therefore a few volumes of Philosophy of Energy: Vol. 1/ Energy and Environment: The Spiritual-Human-Material Nexus (published in 1993) --- For further information, click here. Vol. 2/ Carriers and Radiators of Divine Energy (published in 1995) Vol. 3/ A History of the Supernatural and Natural (Done. Only a minor revision is needed. For further information, click here.) Vol. 4/ Discovering Being as Energy-Being: A Solution to the Problem of Being in Metaphysics This book is about 60 % completed on July 19, 2004. Vol. 5/ Discovering the Uncreated Universals in the Subject and the Object: A Solution to the Extreme Individualistic Subjectivism in Epistemology (The development of epistemology or theory of knowledge since the time of Kant has been too one sided with regards to nominalism, the knowing subject and the created dimension. Is it not about time to explore for a breakthrough with such an extreme individualistic subjectivism? As the author has written two major papers directly and indirectly on "universals" and "postmodernism" since 2000, this volume in fact is 15% done already.) Vol. 6/ Discovering the Uncreated Universals in the Created Universe: A Solution to the Extreme Postmodern Moral Relativism (As the author has written two major papers directly and indirectly on "universals" and "postmodernism", this volume is in fact 33% done already.

Vol. 8/ Christ, the Light of the World (17% done. Many significant projects in the world take time and oftentimes have to be delayed. Thank you for understanding.) Vol. 9/ Energy in the Natural Theology of Teilhard de Chardin (Done. Only a minor revision is needed.) Vol. 10/ Models of the Most Holy Trinity (20% done) Vol. 11/ The Mystery of Uncreated Energy and Light: An Interreligious Dialogue (20% done. For further information, click here.) Vol. 12/ A Theology on Happiness (Following the example of St. Thomas and others) Vol. 13/ A Charismatic Theology (10% done) Vol. 14/ A Mystical Theology Vol. 15/ Radiation of the Holy Eucharist (3% done) Vol. 16/ Cosmology of Theology of Energy (1% done) Vol. 17/ A Theology on the Nine Grades of Prayer (15% done) Vol. 18/ An Eschatology Vol. 19/ An Angelology and Demonology Vol. 20/ An Ecclesiology of Theology of Energy Vol. 21/ A Theology of Healing Vol. 22/ A Marian Consecration to the Most Holy Trinity (1% done) Vol. 23/ An Ecumenical Theology Vol. 24/ A Depth Theology Vol. 25/ Method of Theology of Energy Vol. 26/ A Liberation Theology Vol. 27/ A Missiology Vol. 28/ A Fundamental Theology Vol. 29/ Divine Milieus (3% done) Vol. 30/ A Sacramentology (1% done) Vol. 31/ A Paterology Vol. 32/ A Pneumatology Vol. 33/ A Little Dictionary of Philosophy and Theology of Energy (2% done) John Cheng/ October 7, 1999 --- Feast of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary. Update: April 5, 2005 As the author has become a doctoral student at the Department of Religious Studies, Fu Jen Catholic University, Taipei (since June 21, 2004), this section, as a whole, has to be put on hold for the next four years or so. Without a doubt, Ps 127:1 and Eph 3:20 are still very much blessing this project. All in all, there is no better place to study and do research on energy or chi for the Divine Heavenly Family than in a Catholic university, and in a culture in which everything has been energy or chi for more than two and half millennia. May the purpose of God, therefore, be fully fulfilled. Alleluia! The author has been experiencing a sense of intellectual harvesting and fulfillment of destiny here at Fu Jen as regards his thesis which is, gratefully, to be dedicated to Pope John Paul II, as well as his family, teachers and spiritual friends. At the same time, it is so exciting to hear Father Cantalamessa, the Pope's speaker, talk about Theology of Energy as he refers the following to what happens during Holy Communion that "a small portion of Eucharistic bread fills all our body with divine energy" (Zenit: ZE05030423) on March 4, 2005. Even if it is one of the sparks to get the fire going in Roman Catholic theology and spirituality, one has to be very patient. Praise God!
