@Sophiologist_ A chorus of modern voices (Debord, McLuhan, et al.) go further, echoing planetary prophetology's epochal challenge to a form of totalizing, wall-to-wall propaganda (Ginsberg's "official version of history and reality") effectively "eclipsing the messianic experience". (Agamben)

Copy of tweet here: Exactly. Bly's 'wounds of abstraction' characterizing an all-encompassing pathology of consciousness; the totalizing hegemony this Spectacle of reification invisibly maintains; and homecoming to concrete reality as the salvational pivot returning us, finally, to freedom's ground. Quote 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.

@HeartOfBabel @BrianZahnd Totalizing, yes, even as the whole, damn shebang mercifully turns upon a Day. The original meaning of 'apocalypsis'? Not 'cataclysm' but 'unveiling': an abrupt sunburst of revelation yoking the irruption of a crowning authority to concrete, planetary, political reality, for ever.

The first coming was marked by patience; the second brings the crown of a divine kingdom. We look then beyond the first coming to the second.” - Cyril of Jerusalem Quote tweet "The second coming is but a deeper understanding of the first coming." – Moriarty 3/ "The Savior will not come to be judged again, but to judge those by whom he was judged. His first coming was to fulfill his plan of love, to teach men by gentle persuasion. This time, whether men like it or not, they will be subjects of his kingdom by necessity." - Cyril of J.

Quoted by@NatureSchoolSU @WifeMamaHome @RizomaSchool 13/ When the hidden frame that made all the old mapping between words, measures, reality 'valid' fails—who counts as witness, what counts as evidence, which metrics proxy the good—the result is not gradual refutation. Invalidation is systemic and simultaneous. A phase change.Quoted by12/ The plot turn: the system built for deception becomes the vector of inescapable truth. Human consciousness reaches an epistemic breaking point that is ontological in effect. This isn't metaphor—it's a phenomenological shift. Reality reorganizing at the level of experience.Quoted byRT @nick_routledge: @pauljpastor 1/2 Which brings us to a practical concern with the nature of evil, doesn’t it?
