@Plough 2/3 In other words, an agential symbiote of intra-action galvanizes an immanent, historical metaforce of inter-carnation, an interruptive novum rescuing matter, indeed materiality itself, from capitalism's bastard substitution of abstractions for material realities.

The poor inherit the Kingdom because what they have lived all along stands revealed as the ontology it requires. What seemed loss is the template for the New Creation coming into being. The last are now first. @nick_routledge Aug 12, 2020 The Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis: "Throughout history, it has been movements led by those most impacted by injustice and poverty, with faith communities and moral leaders as standard-bearers involved, that have fundamentally transformed society." @UniteThePoor I must admit to being a tad weary of framing the eschatological proviso as a futurity rather than as a present matter of maldistribution. The poor aren’t waiting for eschatology to arrive; they’re living in the violent gap between where it’s present and where it’s denied to them. 1/ All was good until his finale articulately dismissing the prophetic eschatology of deep incarnation as a form of otherworldly exile from the foreground we call history. @unitethepoor we categorize such takes as shopworn, smooth-tongued shilly-shallying for the status quo. end/ Cutting to the chase, the moral code built into dominative secular and religious epistemologies and their symbiotic structures of power, ordain and endorse a planet-sized house of endless worship of state violence against the world's poor. Simply stated, we're calling it. Subtweet: In other words, 'power-differentials' matter not a whit when no less than evolutionary ontology itself settles terms between an essentially artificial compass, and one inhabiting the truth of the Real; between an economic-transactional reality, and ecological-relational living. ‘Rich’ and ‘poor’? Constructs distinguishing a ‘transactional’ or ‘quid quo pro’ (as distinct from ‘transformational’) stance with regard to experience and reality; the former pointing at a personal and corporate hell-realm of disassociation, alienation and inescapable Reckoning.

No matter their era or area of origin, planetary prophets universally identify moneytheism and its full-spectrum dominance over the moral and ontological imagination, as ‘The Big Lie that economic logic is the only model that will work.’ - Shoshana Zuboff

Perhaps also worth noting that whereas legacy forms of significance typically dismiss 'neighborly eco-social reality' as a defining, co-evolutionary pivot-point for personal and world transformation, it nonetheless remains our primary, bio-cultural 'space for agency'.
Open original document@lukeburgis Raimon Panikkar: "I would define prudence as the harmonious union of the urgent (function of time) and the important (function of weight). The art of knowing how to combine the urgent and the important is a feature of wisdom, one of the conditions for living well."
