@iyad_elbaghdadi 1/ Correct, I suspect. So, given that politics can no longer save us, what next? How about tackling the unholy mess in the US, Palestine, India and elsewhere, concurrently and concomitantly, as one? Differing stories, cultures and contexts, yes. But the root pathology? Identical.

Tweet: And, more fully, a universal theology. How could any one culture, creed or nation be capable of the project? Simply stated, the sunburst of the messianic majorly concerns world-reality, not the minor of religious nationalism. It has to be true everywhere.

And subtweet: How could the true measure of planetary awareness ever amount to anything other than a fundamentally universalist experience and perspective of the world, its cultures, its peoples? We are united in a single garment of destiny, after all.
