@SherPoint 6/ Ultimately, nothing is finally closer or more Real than homecoming to the quotidian wholeness of a life in which the greater unity arising in our experience progressively weds us to the unifying harmony, reconciliation and salvation of the heaven of earth, coming to ground.

Copy of tweet thread here: Why did Maximus say that the world fell at the very instant it was created? Surely because otherwise it would not have fallen at all? The world that has fallen is evidently unfathomably fallen. Yet one could also say with Karsavin that the real Creation never fell at all. In the dialectics of planetary prophetology, the Fall is the calamity that happened to us as perceivers, where the ‘Revelatory Principle’ restores our capacity to recognize our surroundings as the Paradise we never left, in a theophany of cognitive recalibration or reintegration.
@PageauJonathan A fine contribution, even as Josh's assertion that "the Green Man is a Christian/Judaic–derived motif" betrays a prejudice, likely unwitting, as yet clearly unaware of the significance of an essentially universalist, prophetic prototype with immediate, profound, global relevance.
