@MrEwanMorrison So obvious that we do not see it? Stevens: "The way through the world is harder to find than the way beyond it." Time to recalibrate then, through the root, concrete, archetypal substrate of immediate, grounded, unmediated, native experience. Homecoming, literally, to the Real.

Bly's 'wounds of abstraction' characterizing an all-encompassing pathology of consciousness; the totalizing hegemony this Spectacle of reification invisibly maintains; and homecoming to concrete reality as the salvational pivot returning us, finally, to freedom's ground. Quote 3/ We use the terms 'truth of the neighborly' or 'realocalization' to describe this emphatic, planetary shift in experiential locus, away from mediated Spectacle toward direct, proximate participation in a dynamic mutualism far transcending human limitations, genius and powers.

The original meaning of 'apocalypsis'? Not 'cataclysm' but 'unveiling': an abrupt sunburst of revelation yoking the irruption of a crowning authority to concrete, planetary, political reality, for ever. t.co/Q76IFU7bzM t.co/nRcpwYLNso
Open original document@riyeff I find him long on complaint and short on answers. Elsewhere, the 'deep incarnation' or 'realocalization' movement functionally constitutes a _reinhabitory_ relationship with the Real. Co-intelligently designed as 'home-field advantage', it fits. Home is where we live, after all.

Copy of tweet here: Polycrisis? What polycrisis? Yup, at one level, it's the Extinction Business As Usual. Elsewhere though, folk are waking to what's Real, what matters, and how they can plug in to an immediate, convivial experience of what works; digging in to the truth and love of the neighborly. There's Gary Snyder: "Find your place on the planet. Dig in, and take responsibility from there." And, of course, the perfect trans-Atlantic resonance in T. H. White: "Well, | can only teach you two things - to dig, and to love your home. These are the true ends of philosophy."
