@RichardRohrOFM In messianism, the outward drive is considered equal to the inward. The re-establishment of all things in their proper place, constituting redemption, dissolves division between inwardness and outwardness, producing a totality in which one does not fall victim to the other.

Quoted by@stewartdantec An archetypal journey. For millennia, Empire has forced God’s promise underground - inward, stifled. But the walls fall now, and love, so long imprisoned, returns to its due, manifest fullness. The messianic promise, freedom for the captives, self-love inflowing out, it’s here.Quoted by@SophiaCycles The evolution of the world in love, then. And, planetarily-speaking, Heschel: "Justice bespeaks a situation that transcends the individual; historical justice is the illumination of all men, enabling the inhabitants of the world to learn righteousness.”
