It fits, of course, that Palestine, so central to shaping the histories and telos of Abrahamic peoples and cultures and, in turn, their outsized impact upon global structures of power and consciousness, is positioned as crucial to a planetary reset of sorts. 14/ Frankly, highly distinctive, unique, kaleidoscopic cultural forms corresponding to a common pattern or 'archetype' aren't exceptional. Their trans-cultural integration, united in mutuality as a powerfully configured, synergistic force and direction is more rare. 15/ Even where civilizations are antagonists and shadowed by fierce distance, a deeper, more compelling dimension of primordial, transcendent ground still serves as a relational magnet and bridge for the emergence of novel, cross-fertilizing iterations of a greater whole. 16/ This, as it happens, is the revelatory promise the Palestine conflict holds for us - a civilizational clash concomitantly enacting a modern elaboration upon and radical extension of collective, evolutionary prototypes already deeply associated with the Holy Land. 17/ How we get “from here to there” is the real measure of an amplitude drawing upon the tremendous potential this meeting of diverse cultures, fraught though it is, holds for positively addressing the crisis of meaning in our time and, indivisibly, our planetary metacrisis.
