@CACRadicalGrace @brianmclaren Brian, eco-social physicians aver the Kingdom is an 'actively inhabited' love affair. Every resurrection, then, is only ever a participatory manifestation, a dynamic homecoming integrating the more-than-human realm. Yes, salvation arises from the ground as much as comes to it.
@krumbbumm A perfect rejoinder, thank you. Wholeness, then, indivisibly embraces a co-evolutionary or indigenous dimension. Kabir cuts to a no-nonsense summation: "What is found now is found then." Not there, but here. Not escape: arrival. "Thy will be done on _Earth_ as it is in Heaven."

Copy of tweet thread here: "The Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth" construct? Kabir (loathed by clerics of his era: but now interspirtually revered) referred to "the throwing of intensity forward," a universal salvationist fantasy which religions of status quo remain only too willing to encourage. And, of course, the vacant transcendence of ‘Rapture' fantasies, which indigenous traditions in particular recognize as no more than wishful escapism from "a subordinate space - whether as a sinful plane, riddled with temptation, needing to be transcended and left behind; or...” “...a menacing region needing to be beaten and bent to our will; or simply a vaguely disturbing dimension to be avoided, superseded and explained away" (David Abram)
