@Eirikvi Unity in works of service? Johnson: "If one works faithfully and patiently at this task of balancing heaven and earth, eventually one may realize something more remarkable: that the two worlds are in fact one. Illich: “The kingdom is a social reality at a transcendental level."

@RevDrMatthewFox “How readily the idea of work as a role fits a new cosmology, that of work playing a role in making the cosmic wheel go around.” Brown: “Work is mystical.” QT James 2:17: "In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead." The Gita: "What is work? What is beyond work? Even some seers see this not aright. Action is greater than inaction. Yoga is wisdom in work." Heschel: "The prophet is a mystic in action." “Our action in the world matters," notes @RichardRohrOFM, "because it contributes both to the deeper incarnation of God and to the redemptive gathering of the whole world.” @RevDrMatthewFox: “We are talking about resacralizing our work worlds and therefore our whole world." “Work is that which puts us in touch with others, not so much at the level of personal interaction, but at the level of service in the community. A spirituality of work is about bringing life and livelihood back together again. And Spirit with them.” - Fox

Copy of tweet: In messianism, the outward drive is considered equal to the inward. The re-establishment of all things in their proper place, constituting redemption, dissolves division between inwardness and outwardness, producing a totality in which one does not fall victim to the other. Painting of Celtic Triquetra with calligraphy: The great secret, the great mystery, is this: there is a heart of the world and, in our depths, it is yours. Depth doesn’t mean ‘far-inside’, but our life ever-opening to ourselves and the world. The heart is our capacity to open to all that we experience, inside and out. In gradually opening our heart, in loving kindness for ourselves and others, no after the assaults or dangers, we step toward our shared, essential destiny, the evolution of the world in love.
