@davidrieff I beg to differ, David. Abraham Joshua Heschel, succinct: “History is not a blind alley. Beyond the mystery is meaning. And the meaning is destined to be disclosed. Ultimately there is only one factor upon which the shape of history depends: the moral conduct of the nations."

@UssamaMakdisi Our prophets universally depict this momentous revelation of the monstrous, wholesale moral destitution of our primary, international 'superpowers', as the rending of a well-wrought veil of deceit, a historical bifurcation point defining a providential, planetary dividing line.

Quoted by@Plough @BenQuash 17/ This is why justice-based regenerative design isn’t an “application.” It’s beauty’s enactment: cross-shaped love realized in ecological form—deep incarnation where Spirit transforms both human community and the earth itself. Beauty is both the path and what the path reveals.Quoted by3/ The prophets insist: history is not a blind alley. Beneath its surface runs a hidden trajectory—not toward despair, but disclosure. A truth so stark that no evasion remains. The collapse of illusion under the weight of the Real. A script must end.Quoted byRT @nick_routledge: @UssamaMakdisi 1/ Essentially, we've arrived at a 'paradigm apocalypse' - a reckoning with a form of civilizational exceptionalism characterized by structures of consciousness and power functionally consistent with the rationalizations of a kind of universalized, psychotic absolutism.Quoted by@UssamaMakdisi 1/ Essentially, we've arrived at a 'paradigm apocalypse' - a reckoning with a form of civilizational exceptionalism characterized by structures of consciousness and power functionally consistent with the rationalizations of a kind of universalized, psychotic absolutism.
