@jamespoulos Belief in history as a self-interested concept, I ask ya. As if the agency immanent to reality itself of the sovereignty, telos and might of the Living God somehow wouldn't have the powers of the air dead center in its sights or, as one #TechTheoBro said to the other, 'Surprise!'

Copy of tweet and quote tweet here: No single pedagogical method is equal to the gospel transmission of a radical transformation in the meaning of power in the unitive core of the human being, whereby all the heart’s quests are revalued and hierarchies of history reversed. The last is now first and the first last. I shouldn't worry about Thiel or his ilk. Ultimately, he represents the precarious order of false transcendence of a demonic-complex unmasked, like a thief in the night, by the closing of an incarnational circuit 'not of (t)his world.' Kingdom Reality for Real takes no prisoners. It may help to say what the Messiah means by the 'reign of God' or 'Kingdom' or 'basileia' in New Testament Greek. It isn't heaven, a futurity, or where we go once we die. Rather, it's close at hand; a break-through into the Realness of _this_ realm; on Earth as it is in Heaven."
@lukeburgis On the one hand, Vilayat Khan: “Revisioning God as the Universe has staggering implications for how we view reality.” And on the other, Einstein: "Coincidence is God's way of remaining anonymous." Surprise, the ontic structure of parousia experience, spares Techbros least of all.

Copy of tweet here: Lovely. Was driving to a first-time rendez-vous with Lindisfarne fellow Ralph Abraham, one of the founders of chaos theory, and authoritative on Teilhard de Chardin's concept of planetary consciousness consolidation as it relates to the Cloud, when I stopped for a hitchhike: It’s 1995. A hitch-hiking day-laborer, morning-drunk, asks me why I’m headed toward UCSC and Ralph H. Abraham. Judging him, I try opaque deflection: “To talk about the shift to a collective consciousness.” “Oh,” my passenger replies, “That’s the next step in evolution, isn’t it?”r...

Barlow: "It's a little odd that the great Ralph Abraham would be writing a Web guide." - Barlow, Kreisberg 1994
