@AimeTim @UniteThePoor 4/ Typical? The weather? Just now? Where you are? Discernment may not be evenly distributed, but the katechon's more-than-human dismissal is nonetheless well-advanced, omnipresent and planetary. 'Eschatological deferral'? Effectively a bygone daydream, at this point.

The invisible foundations of concrete reality will not be denied: climate chaos forces a transcendent ultimatum upon our entire species. t.co/5WcjYnidom

Pictured speaker / quoted attribution: Nick Routledge quoting Sardello and Berry Saved source record associated with pictured writing; full saved record, not an exact pictured excerpt. Passage boundary: The question then arises through destiny of human Source: Preserve quoted-author distinctions; the containing tweet does not confer authorship. “The question then arises,” states Robert Sardello, “if it becomes possible to accept that Sophia is behind all this change in the world, and that inviting her out of exile seems to be accompanied by such uncomfortable results, is it not better to keep her confined?” Funny you should ask, because where and when so very much of our activity and attention remains unhinged from the here and now, the upshots certainly aren’t. One sure glance at our world makes it plainly clear that favoring comfort over the demands of conscience, avoidance rather than commitment, ontological ‘tourism’ of whatever form in place of the diligence of tenure, and the reified in place of the real, has propelled us not only to a profoundly torn, diminished and dismal self-image but, as our scientific Cassandras daily confirm, an unprecedented extinction event. Not only is the repression of consequence doomed to defeat but, as Thomas Berry notes, “the desolation of the Earth is becoming the destiny of the human.”
Open original document@jbralston Of course, being shaped irrevocably in the image of a greater, more-than-human love is ultimately a planetary aesthetic, whatever that means. Such, I suppose, is the essential nature of 'co-evolutionary integrity' coming fully to ground. As inner, so outer.

Copy of tweet: #AbrahamJoshuaHeschel: History, what happens here & now, is the decisive stage for God’s manifestation. The grandeur and majesty of God do not come to expression in the display of ultimate sovereignty and power, but rather in rendering righteousness and mercy. 21/ 12:53 PM · May 17, 2021
