@ThinkingFaith At some point, hope may assume a katechonic momentum. That is, prayer alone will not suffice. “What is found now is found then.” Not there, but here: not escape, but homecoming. “Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” The incarnation, fully articulated, planetarily.

Copy of tweet: So greatly enjoy and affirm your presence, acuity and eloquence, Carl. I'd personally acknowledge a further essentially Christian, which is to say messianic, aspect to cosmic contemplation; namely, its contextual or evolutionary dimension, and all such integration represents. / Heschel spells it out, unambiguously: “Impartiality with regard to history," he says, "is a pretense.” Pivotal to such prophetic discernment is an awareness of ‘enlightened being’ as existentially indivisible from Teilhard de Chardin’s “irresistible march of evolution.” 6/ Simply stated, the prophetic mode positions contemplative awareness within trans-historical experience of an _evolving_ Universe; of Reality itself as an unfinished project. God is, after all, not a noun, but a verb: not a standing still, but life, co-evolving.
@GabrielSaidR Divine Comedy time, yes. Did you hear the one about Christianity no more owning the Gospels than Buddhism the Maitreya? Or Mansur Hallaj affirming recognition of the trans-cultural diversity of revealed faiths as providential? "I will die in the religion of the cross." ~ Diwan 67
