RT @nick_routledge: @joynessthebrave Ordinarily, I find the word and phenomenon 'supernatural' belittled among those who identify as 'educated'. High-culture folk, typically. A serious surprise, then, the advent of a Day transparent to eternity, settling supernatural terms at the planetary level, once and for all.

Copy of tweet here: 3/ How is this bastard claim upon immanence itself, overthrown? Through a response recoupling the material world with its transcendent dimension, experienced in concrete reality as a seismic shift in our sense of truth, meaning, relatedness, significance, morality and sanity.
@BrianZahnd Indeed, I'd aver Schleiermacher's 'cultured despisers' of religion describes 'religious' as much as 'non-religious' dismissal of Reality as fully, supernaturally here. Incarnation, a participatory threshold defined by passing over from God-belief into God-experience itself, then?

Excerpt from tweet thread: Aṭṭār Christians who somehow manage to reconcile their faith with the sort of complacent, sneering scientism one would normally expect of a strident atheist or secular humanist are very puzzling. I had in mind smug dismissals of notions of enchantment (or, in a Barfieldian register, original participation). There's something genuinely bizarre about being at once a Christian and someone who thinks a participatory ontology is woo woo.
