@stewartdantec "The Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth" construct? Kabir (loathed by clerics of his era: but now interspirtually revered) referred to "the throwing of intensity forward," a universal salvationist fantasy which religions of status quo remain only too willing to encourage.

Quoted byRT @nick_routledge: @leashless As Wallace Stevens wrote and as James Hillman would later be fond of quoting, “the way through the world is harder to find than the way beyond it.” Simply setting foot on the Earth might yet turn out to be Paradise Regained.Quoted by@leashless As Wallace Stevens wrote and as James Hillman would later be fond of quoting, “the way through the world is harder to find than the way beyond it.” Simply setting foot on the Earth might yet turn out to be Paradise Regained.Quoted byRT @nick_routledge: @CACRadicalGrace 1/ Someone needs to say it: we have made of Jesus an idol. This hocus-pocus of false shepherds, our cartoon caricature of the Incarnation (“a sort of constant triumphal story” as @stewartdantec names it) effectively banishes the Eternal Gospel from reference in concrete reality.Quoted by@CACRadicalGrace 1/ Someone needs to say it: we have made of Jesus an idol.

What nature then, the Indigenous Christ alive? Here, Kabir, revered by Hindu, Moslem and Sikh, alike.
