What is last and final is the blessing of the new creation in which righteousness and justice dwells"; the solidarity of social and planetary renewal; the simultaneity of human and earthly resurrection; 'the best is yet to come.'

@AimeTim 3/ We use the terms 'truth of the neighborly' or 'realocalization' to describe this emphatic, planetary shift in experiential locus, away from mediated Spectacle toward direct, proximate participation in a dynamic mutualism far transcending human limitations, genius and powers.

Copy of thread beginning here: Terrific. Perhaps also worth noting that whereas legacy forms of significance typically dismiss 'neighborly eco-social reality' as a defining, co-evolutionary pivot-point for personal and world transformation, it nonetheless remains our primary, bio-cultural 'space for agency'. Quote Nick Routledge · 1/ Tackle both, at once? Relocalizing experience *and* shedding reification's bastard claim on significance itself, essentially what it takes to get Real. Rohr: "The principle is this: we must struggle with the truth in one concrete place, and then universalize from there." twitter.com/nick_routledge…

Quoted byThe sunburst of the messianic is the point at which cyclical history and eschatological fulfillment align—the moment the world’s repeated cry for restoration is met by the transfiguration latent within it.Quoted byRT @nick_routledge: @CACRadicalGrace @brianmclaren And, Fintan O’Toole: "A false notion of greatness must be given a decent burial. If there is really to be a new creation, there must be no doubt that the old world is dead." And Benjamin: “The Messiah comes not only as the redeemer, he also comes as the vanquisher of Antichrist.”Quoted by@CACRadicalGrace @brianmclaren And, Fintan O’Toole: "A false notion of greatness must be given a decent burial.

Likewise, doomer dialectics depicting the ontological tempest, forced or chosen, of an ending, don't cut it. Merton had a way. Our Second Advent, he said, announces "not the last gasp of of exhausted possibilities" but "the definitive birth of a new world creation."Quoted by@stephenproctor @pauljpastor Right on.
