@AimeTim @UniteThePoor 2/ In practice, seeing through a catastrophically diminished self-image of materialist and religious fetishism opens us to a life superseding the draconian limitations of a conventional way of processing reality constricted to a shadow of its co-creative powers and potential.

Two tweet excerpt from thread: 9/ Please don’t let self-appointed cultural arbiters blindly & unwaveringly invested in a caricature of realism, fool you, friends. Simply because most of us have succumbed to a vast, culturally-commanded dark night of sleep, doesn’t make this, Our Paradigm Shift, any less Real. 10/ Yes, away from the levels of reality well-lit by ‘the Expert State’, beyond the turmoil, controversy, bewilderment and totalizing freefall of a dominative epistemology and all that it sustains and disfigures in our eyes, our common Story evolves. Surely, you've heard?
@ThinkingFaith A social reality for everyone? Name your congruity. Secular? Religious? Liberal? Bible-centered (Prov. 26:17-28)? Such identifiers prove immaterial, in practice, to the experience of a common territory beyond. Illich: “the kingdom is a social reality at a transcendental level."

How does our community practice work? Easy, really. Firstly, ours is a ‘post-religious’ practice. That is, whether we identify as atheist, agnostic, theist, pantheist, non-denominated, fundamentally secular or entirely otherwise, simply doesn’t matter. Our practice is also ‘post-political’: whether we identify as conservative or liberal, native or immigrant, POC or white, binary or binary-busting, or entirely otherwise, our practice both honors and transcends all such distinctions in the formless integrity of our own, private, entirely unique experience, whatever and whoever we are, and however we identify to ourselves and the world. No creed is required, nor is prior experience - simply a commitment to join in exploring a particular inner theme of coherent community life.
