@RDGStout Hold yer hosses, sir. World history, reality and scholarship far outdistances Occidental, Judeo-Christian, high-culture interpretations. If the Green Man has a persona, it's more completely a (still evolving) reconciliatory, planetary archetype surpassing any 'ownership claim'.

ACCIDIT UT POST DIES ALIQUOT, FORTE EX DIUTURNA continuata meditatione, visio quaedam eidem zeloso manifestaretur, ex qua elicuit quod paucorum sapientium omnium talium diversitatum quae in religionibus per orbem observantur peritia pollentium unam posse facilem quandam concordantiam reperiri, ac per eam in religione perpetuam pacem convenienti ac veraci medio constitui. —Nicolai de Cusa De Pace seu Concordantia Fidei 1, 1*

Passage boundary: It happened after some days Source: Preserve quoted-author distinctions; the containing tweet does not confer authorship. It happened after some days, perhaps as the fruit of an intense and sustained meditation, that a vision appeared to this ardently devoted Man. In this vision it was manifested that by means of a few sages versed in the variety of religions that exist throughout the world it could be possible to reach a certain peaceful concord. And it is through this concord that a lasting peace in religion may be attained and established by convenient and truthful means. —Nicolai de Cusa De Pace seu Concordantia Fidei 1,1 *

Pictured speaker / quoted attribution: Nick Routledge quoting Moltmann Saved source record associated with pictured writing; full saved record, not an exact pictured excerpt. Passage boundary: Judgment is not the last thing Source: Preserve quoted-author distinctions; the containing tweet does not confer authorship. Copy of tweet here: And, Fintan O’Toole: "A false notion of greatness must be given a decent burial. If there is really to be a new creation, there must be no doubt that the old world is dead." And Benjamin: “The Messiah comes not only as the redeemer, he also comes as the vanquisher of Antichrist.” If I may interject? “The ways of history do not lead directly upwards to the Kingdom of God, they pass by way of the final unveiling of the anti-Christ who conceals himself under the last mask to be stripped away - the mask of what is good and what is Christian.” - von Balthasar Moltmann: "Judgment is not the last thing of all. What is last and final is the blessing of the new creation in which righteousness and justice dwells"; the solidarity of social and planetary renewal; the simultaneity of human and earthly resurrection; 'the best is yet to come.'
Open original document@PageauJonathan A fine contribution, even as Josh's assertion that "the Green Man is a Christian/Judaic–derived motif" betrays a prejudice, likely unwitting, as yet clearly unaware of the significance of an essentially universalist, prophetic prototype with immediate, profound, global relevance.
