@AimeTim In materialist terms, I'd argue that assessment accurate and timely. No wonder some are buckling or bolting. But we don't live in a materialist universe: we inhabit a fully supernatural intelligence, telos, power and portal. I'd hazard it's all going exactly to plan, on time.

Our 'Day' of liberation in which an Extinction Tyranny defined by maniacal, interlocking, global structures of secular and religious consciousness and power, is espistemically demolished by the planetary-saving righteousness of the force of truth itself. t.co/qJXf2RTSx1

Ultimately, an inclusive eschatology serves up a democratic claim. t.co/nXwe176qRY

Passage boundary: Source: Preserve quoted-author distinctions; the containing tweet does not confer authorship. Copy of tweet here: and 2/ His invocation, democratic. Moltmann avers: "Theology is the business of all God’s people." Moses went further, of course: "Would to God that all the Lord’s people were Prophets." The hermaneutic of @unitethepoor, then? Inclusive, universal, planetary, prophetic, interruptive. Thank you. If 'liberation theology is theology that liberates theology to liberate', then the interruptive ontology of an 'irruption of the poor' frees us from the containment of base, integral religious and political hegemony in a Day of universal, unifying liberation. Ultimately, the Hour isn't a promise to comparative theologians such as ourselves, but to the world's poor - of the revelation and liberation of a realm and reign of truth transcending all fictions and polemics sustaining secular, as much as religious, tyranny and division.

The applied revelation of a planetary prophetology simply end-runs the power play.

What this is not, is an interminable slog toward a dead end; rather, the disarray necessarily defining a phase shift of evolutionary proportions as one planetary paradigm crashes and another replaces it. Meade: “Welcome to the end of the world as we knew it.” t.co/pSJ5xLeJ7y
Open original document@trippfuller An unwitting paradigm-tell, in truth. Despite an admittedly brilliant intellectual and rhetorical performance, his mantric refrain was what? "I don't have a good answer." Not unrelatedly, I didn't hear God-reality mentioned once. Critchley's 'Metapolitical-Ethical Event', then...

Copy of tweet here: Perhaps it's timely to ask to what degree all of us have been 'NPC-ed' by the peak deception of a monolithic caricature of reality-in-actuality, and the immense array of epistemologies and institutions its all-pervasive optics exclusively represent, validate and secure? @nick_routledge and @johnrobb 2/ Then again, a culturally-constructed Spectacle passing for substantive reality is hardly news; nor, for that matter, is the dark sorcery of veiled powers commanding us to be fooled by appearances - ravenous wolves disguised as angels of light. There is another way, of course.
