@SherPoint 8/ Simply stated, in coming home to ourselves, each other and the Earth, in the same breath, we open to an experiential realm that mystics and religious together refer to as 'the heaven of earth'; or, in secular terms, a new world reality surpassing historically-crippling schism.

Copy of tweet thread here:

Our experience with the Agrarian Sharing Network - now entering a second decade in its current iteration - is that ideological diversity is simply irrelevant to an experiential territory of common concern and conviviality transcending political/religious/cultural divisions.

We do more than freely, identify, collect, distribute and propagate fruit, nut, vegetable and mycological diversity, mind you. Ultimately, we're fundamentally an exercise in friendship, within and between communities, and of course between ourselves and our very ground of being.

Fair to say all of us of have been taken aback by the discovery of a common territory of experience in which deep, abiding, meaningful, loving friendships spanning *vastly* different cultural sensibilities have been birthed and deepened. We know it's of the work and special.

@AimeTim @UniteThePoor 2/ In practice, seeing through a catastrophically diminished self-image of materialist and religious fetishism opens us to a life superseding the draconian limitations of a conventional way of processing reality constricted to a shadow of its co-creative powers and potential.

Two tweet excerpt from thread:

9/ Please don’t let self-appointed cultural arbiters blindly & unwaveringly invested in a caricature of realism, fool you, friends. Simply because most of us have succumbed to a vast, culturally-commanded dark night of sleep, doesn’t make this, Our Paradigm Shift, any less Real.

10/ Yes, away from the levels of reality well-lit by ‘the Expert State’, beyond the turmoil, controversy, bewilderment and totalizing freefall of a dominative epistemology and all that it sustains and disfigures in our eyes, our common Story evolves. Surely, you've heard?

Quoted by8/ And because it was real, it crossed every border. Hindu, Muslim, Buddhist. To this day, Kashmiris revere the Rishis not as a faction but as a people’s reclamation of the eschaton: resistance and revelation walking together in vernacular tongue, a sacred commons of breath.
