@ceisenstein Awareness is growing that the Messiah was murdered precisely because he insisted on the ultimate veracity of reality as a transformational, as distinct from transactional phenomenon. What then, of emerging therapeutic responses to the 'scarcity consciousness' of economic logic?

Copy of tweet here: In other words, 'power-differentials' matter not a whit when no less than evolutionary ontology itself settles terms between an essentially artificial compass, and one inhabiting the truth of the Real; between an economic-transactional reality, and ecological-relational living. ‘Rich’ and ‘poor’? Constructs distinguishing a ‘transactional’ or ‘quid quo pro’ (as distinct from ‘transformational’) stance with regard to experience and reality; the former pointing at a personal and corporate hell-realm of disassociation, alienation and inescapable Reckoning. You're not alone. No matter their era or area of origin, planetary prophets universally identify moneytheism and its full-spectrum dominance over the moral and ontological imagination, as ‘The Big Lie that economic logic is the only model that will work.’ - Shoshana Zuboff

"Intentional communities of mutual self-reliance and reciprocity are the wave of the future, and their currency is sharing. Gratitude and reciprocity are the currency of a gift economy, and they have the remarkable property of multiplying with every exchange, their energy concentrating as they pass from hand to hand, a truly renewable resource." Robin Wall Kimmerer * And he answered them, "To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given. For to him who has will more be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away." Matthew 13:11-12

Copy of tweet thread here: I try to practice unlearning capitalism by ensuring all my relationships intimate or remote, aren't transactional. We aren’t objects, we’re life expanding into more life: maps of possibilities. Bc its so conscious for me, its a soul refusal. Entitlement/clout chasing ≠access Nick Routledge Hereabouts, we're exploring traditional *group* practices which powerfully, experientially reinforce the ultimate veracity of 'transformational', as distinct from 'transactional' reality. Moving together into a common, social practice can prove astonishingly therapeutic, we find. Quote tweet: A gifting theology effects and requires a living therapy of abundance. Which models work?

Copy of tweet and quote tweet here: end/ We describe it as a relocalization of experience, in which a grounded, convivial, eco-social realm catalyzes and flourishes around a bio-cultural model of community, lived into manifestation, enriching human life beyond all comparison to material wealth, values and promise. Elsewhere..."Think of this as a revolution, not of guns, but of consciousness, which will be won by seizing the key myths, archetypes, eschatologies, and ecstasies so that life won't seem worth living unless one is on the transforming energy's side." #GarySynder 4/ We don’t even pay lip service to Caesar. We make no bones about being a consciously post-economic, post-political, post-institutional adventure manifesting a functional, bio-cultural therapy of abundance, together, for the common, earthly good. Eco-social physicianship, alive.
@AlanWattsDaily 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.
