@CarlMcColman It always seemed to me an essential power of the Jesus Event arose in His capacity to simply annihilate the ontological and narrative distinction between inner and outer reality, in a fundamentally comprehensible, democratic, accessible form. Mysticism for the masses, manifest. x.com/covidyoga/status/1421528331262971906

Quoted by@brightabyss "Now you see, the current theory of problem solving is that we must solve all our problems with solutions that make a buck. But if you're willing to put aside that notion, then the human future appears endlessly bright." ~Terence McKennaQuoted by@noonessleep 5/ Rare indeed is the text (Merton's 'New Seeds of Contemplation'?) 'effortlessly' dissolving esoteric and exoteric tensions in a seamless, inclusive, unifying embrace or, rarer still, a life functionally transcending the prisons of secular and religious distinction and division.Quoted by@brainpicker 3/ By all means let us celebrate genius, but let’s not conflate the excessive drive towards higher states of religious or scientific consciousness, or exultation in such exclusionary brilliance, with what is practically required to wed humanity, as a whole, to justice and peace.
