@EsmeLKPartridge There's always Einstein: "Coincidence is God's way of remaining anonymous", and Vilayat Khan: “Revisioning God as the Universe has staggering implications for how we view reality.” When perception becomes generous, the eternal-temporal bridge is _lived_.

Copy of tweet here: @nick_routledge 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... QT: Dedicated to Pierre Teilhard de Chardin 1881-1955 - Frontspiece to The Web Empowerment Book, 1995, co-authored by Ralph Abraham, author of CHAOS, GAIA, EROS: A Chaos Pioneer Uncovers the Three Great Streams of History, 1994. Barlow: "It's a little odd that the great Ralph Abraham would be writing a Web guide." - Barlow, Kreisberg 1994
'He is Risen'? So what, if our essential, everyday allegiance rejects the costly obedience of messianic identity for the cheap grace of a religious science of containment. Are our days faithful to the cruciform messiahship of Jesus, or have we betrayed His resurrection?

Copy of tweet here: 1/ Someone needs to say it: we have made of Jesus an idol. This hocus-pocus of false shepherds, our cartoon caricature of the Incarnation (“a sort of constant triumphal story” as @stewartdantec names it) effectively banishes the Eternal Gospel from reference in concrete reality. Quote tweet: "The Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth" construct? Kabir (loathed by clerics of his era: but now interspirtually revered) referred to "the throwing of intensity forward," a universal salvationist fantasy which religions of status quo remain only too willing to encourage.
