RT @nick_routledge: @Plough Truly, deeply, money isn't the core issue, rather the ultimate veracity of a Way of relating honestly that opens upon Life itself, contrary to a transactional thanatomania enfleshing a personal and corporate hell-realm of disassociation, alienation and inescapable Reckoning.

Soon enough, I grokked it. Within a decade, I was a houseless, wandering mendicant, testing wisdom teachings - a deliberate choice. Now, I'm another 25 years further in. Some insights, then. t.co/x4rB2KiPsC

Cultured, cosmopolitian, worldly and, by then, righteously dechurched, my deliberate surrender to life as a penniless, peripatetic mendicant almost 30 years ago, proceeded to expose me to modes of significance and order I could never have anticipated. t.co/fpKT24SNWy

Open original document@lukeburgis @AnthonyMBarr: "I believe we cannot fully understand these teachings without understanding that Christ crucified is Christ executed." A question, then. Why was Jesus murdered? We know why @UniteThePoor
