Stigmata: Encyclopedia - Stigmata

Stigmata (plural of stigma) are wounds that were, according to the Holy Bible, inflicted on Jesus during his crucifixion. There have been many reports of other individuals who display similar wounds, the causes of which have been subject to considerable debate. Some contend that stigmata are miraculous, others argue they are hoaxes or can be explained medically. The infliction of stigmata is called stigmatization. Stigmata - History.

Stigmata: Encyclopedia II - Stigmata - History
There have been over 500 reported stigmatics who have displayed wounds similar to those inflicted upon Jesus. The first recorded case of these wounds was in the year 1222, by a man named Stephen Langton of England. Saint Francis of Assisi first suffered the wounds in La Verna, Italy, in 1224. Other famous stigmatists include Saint Catherine of Siena, Saint John of God, and Saint Marie of the Incarnation. The most famous stigmatist of the twentieth century was Saint Pio of Pietrelcina (1887–1968). Stigmata was more recently experienc ...

Stigmata: Encyclopedia II - Stigmata - Skepticism

There have been historical stigmatics that were known to have faked wounds, such as Magdalena de la Cruz (1487–1560), who admitted the fraud. Similarly self-inflicted wounds can be associated with certain brain disorders. Some people who fake stigmata suffer from Munchausen syndrome which is characterised by an intense desire for attention. People with Munchausen hurt themselves or fake an illness hoping to end up in a hospital where they can enjoy attention and care. People also fake stigmata knowing that some who had stigmata were declared holy by the Pope. In this way they try to gain recognition. ...

Stigmata: New Age Spirituality Dictionary on Stigmata

Stigmata

The manifestation on a living person's body of bleeding marks resembling the wounds suffered by the mythical Jesus when he was crucified. They are manifested on the hands, on the feet, near the heart, and on the head and shoulders.

 

The attribution of religious significance to wounds and scars predates Christianity. In many primitive rites, wounds and scars were deliberately inflicted as part of the religious ritual. The stigmata of Christ, however, allegedly appear spontaneously on the bodies of extremely devout people. The stigmata are not usual bodily lacerations (the blood appears to discharge through the unbroken skin), do not deteriorate in the usual fashion of wounds, and are not susceptible to medical treatment.

 

Francis of Assisi (later Saint Francis) was the first and best-known stigmatic, in September 1224 he reportedly began to bleed from his palms and feet after meditating on the crucifixion of Christ.

 

More than 330 cases are known of Christians who have been stigmatized. Stigmatics are deeply pious, and the stigmata often appear after lengthy meditations on the crucifixion or contemplation of a sacred image or object. Bleeding is also likely to occur during the traditional times of commemoration of Christ's passion - Fridays, Lent, and especially Good Friday.

 

In many cases stigmatization can be explained by natural causes such as the physical and psychic conditions of the person, along with a strong interest in and devotion to the sufferings of Christ. In a number of cases, however, stigmatization has been accepted by the Roman Catholic church as attributable only to supernatural causes; 60 stigmatics whose lives have been marked by great holiness and mystical experiences have been either canonized or beatified.

The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch - Back story. The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch takes place some time in the twenty-first century. Under the authority of the United Nations, humankind has colonized every habitable planet and moon in the solar system.

Stigmata: Encyclopedia II - The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch - Religious themes

Chew-Z is marketed with the slogan, God promises eternal life. We can deliver it. Those who take the drug have experiences akin to the afterlife in both western and eastern religions. Chew-Z allows a person to live “eternally” in that it seemingly eliminates time and space; a trip that actually lasts only minutes can seem to last hours, days or possibly years. It also is akin to reincarnation in that it allows a person to experience his or her surroundings as a new life form, a point th ...

Stigmata: Spiritual - Theosophy Dictionary on Stigmata

Stigmata (Latin) [plural of Latin, Greek stigma pricked mark, brand]

 

The mark produced on the skin of ecstatics, in the case of Christian ecstatics said to represent the wounds of Christ. Ecstatics could have produced any other kind of marks on their skin or body if they had been sufficiently strongly under the intense psychomental strain bringing about stigmata on the body by automatic reaction.

 

Any picture in the mind if it is sufficiently clear and definite in outline, and if held with sufficient intensity of feeling and thought, can be transferred to the model-body (linga-sarira) and thence reproduced in the physical body, where it is outlined in congested blood or pigmentation of the skin. It is not infrequent in these cases that extravasation of blood or serum occurs, producing the cases of bleeding wounds produced by emotion and thought power. Such instances of the body reacting thus to inner psychomental strain are common enough in all countries and ages, and have nothing to do with abstract religious or philosophical truth.

 

If the West possessed a genuine psychology, stigmata would not be looked upon with awe as miracles or quasi-miracles or considered to be inexplicable phenomena. They could be reproduced at will by the adept on his own body, but why should he do so useless a thing, involving not only an unnatural condition of his constitution, but possibly suffering of the body itself? The whole matter of stigmata in human subjects is but an intensification in very unusual circumstances of what biological science knows to occur commonly and automatically in the bodies of the lower creatures, which not merely change color, but undergo curious transformations under conditions of fright, anger, etc.

 

Furthermore, the curious birthmarks which occur are often traceable to some visual impression accompanied by emotion on the part of an expectant mother.

Stigmata: Encyclopedia II - Anomalous phenomenon - Examples

Anomalous phenomena seem to lack a clear scientific explanation, and thus are the subject of much controversy, debate, mystery, and potentially fear. However, at the same time, most of them are simply not widely accepted as real phenomena by mainstream scientists, who view them as hoaxes, lies, or conspiracies, perhaps going so far as to call their study pseudoscience. In other cases, the observation or sensing of a particular phenomenon is acknowledged as being a real, personal experience, but its interpretation - or the methods used ...

Stigmata: Encyclopedia II - Anne Catherine Emmerich - Signs

By 1813 she was confined to bed, and stigmata appeared on her body. Then followed an Episcopal commission to inquire into her life, and the claims surrounding miraculous signs. The examination was very strict. The vicar-general, the famous Overberg, and three physicians conducted the investigation with scrupulous care and became convinced of the sanctity of the "pious Beguine", as she was called, and the genuineness of the stigmata. At the end of 1818 Emmerich claimed God granted her prayer to be relieved of the stigmata, and the wounds in her hands and feet closed, but the others rema ...

Stigmata: Encyclopedia II - Cesare Lombroso - Criminology

Lombroso popularized the notion of a born criminal through biological determinism. Criminals have particular physiognomic attributes or deformities. Physiognomy attempts to estimate character and personality traits from physical features of the face or the body. Whereas most individuals evolve, the violent criminal had devolved, and therefore were societal, or evolutionary regressions. If criminality was inherited, then the born criminal could be distinguished by physical atavistic stigmata, such as large jaws, high cheek bones, handl ...

Stigmata: Encyclopedia II - EXistenZ - Trivia

In one scene, Pikul and Geller eat fast food take-out from a restaraunt called "Perky Pat's." According to the Canadian DVD commentary track, Cronenberg attributes the "Perky Pat" reference to Philip K. Dick's 1965 novel The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch. In addition, the major plot twist is highly reminiscent of Dick's under-acknowledged 1970 novel A Maze of Death. Science-fiction writer Philip K. Dick was one of Cronenberg's favorite authors and is considered a pioneer in the tradition of reality-bending fictio ...
