@brianmclaren 24/ As such, the claim “Elias is come,” announces the profound potential an inclusive vision of revelation holds for addressing the question of meaning in our time, along with the guidance and nourishment its positive advent affords everyone, everywhere. No exceptions.

Excerpt of tweet thread here: Rohr: "Only God decides what to anoint—which, thank God, is all of creation and all of humanity from the beginning. No exceptions." Likewise, Matthew Fox: "Is the Cosmic Christ not an archetype about how we are all in some way anointed kings, queens, priests, and messiahs?" "What if every human being is anointed, Messiahed, Christ?" asks Reverend Jacqui Lewis. Yes, we are all anointed Messiah. No exceptions. Though, crucially, ‘to be free is nothing: to become free is everything.’ In order to inherit our freedom, we need to go toward it.

@pauljpastor 3/ At the planetary level, meanwhile, a vast complex of democratic insight clarifies the ontic advent of the Hindu Kalki Avatara, Jewish Mashiach, Muslim Mahdi, Buddhist Maitreya, East Asian Great Savior, Zoroastrian Saoshyant and complementary Indigenous currents.

[...] I am the Retributor on the Day of Retribution (dayyān yawm al-dīn). I am the Judge (qasīm) of the Garden and the Fire [...]. I am the first Noah. I am the instigator of the second Flood [...] I am the Hour for the deniers. I am the Call that awakes the inhabitants of the graves. I am the Lord on the Day of Resurrection (anā l-sā‘a li -mukadhdhibīn | anā al-nidā’ al-mukhrij man fī l-qubūr | anā sāhib yawm al-nushūr) [...].

I am the Concealed One, the Awaited One for the mighty Affair (anā l-ghā'ib al-muntazar li l-amr al-‘aẓim) [...].

Quoted byRT @nick_routledge: @lavitalenta Some might suggest such perversity amounts to an ersatz mythology born of the psyche’s misplaced attempt to create a source of intensity in a culture starved for depth; a meaning system, yes, but a fleeting substitute for the transformative depth the soulful imagination craves.Quoted by@lavitalenta Some might suggest such perversity amounts to an ersatz mythology born of the psyche’s misplaced attempt to create a source of intensity in a culture starved for depth; a meaning system, yes, but a fleeting substitute for the transformative depth the soulful imagination craves.Quoted byRT @nick_routledge: @Zheschool Thank you. I loved your piece. It's perhaps worth noting that world religion, in entirety, is in wholesale free fall, and the good questions are increasingly being asked from a perspective embracing the greater coherence, meaningfulness and liberation of a planetary articulation.Quoted by@Zheschool Thank you.
