27/ In this light, neighborliness becomes the lens through which the messianic is rightly seen. Not rapture, but rootedness. Sahaja. The return to truth. The architecture of shared life, rightly tended. Fruit trees, potlucks, refuge—these are not Rishi symbols, but sacraments.
@Eternally1776 @TaraAnnThieke Beautifully stated. I'm also reminded of Rilke's, "Somewhere there is an ancient enmity between our daily life and the great work", the spirited call to functionally resacralize the fullness of our days and, therefore, our whole world, as a substratively regenerative encounter.

Copy of thread here: N. O. Brown: “To find meaning is to find work. In alchemy, the Great Work of Transformation; transform the nature of work. Labor is fertility. Instead of Gross Natural Product, reproduction. Reproduction of the eternal earth. Ecology instead of economy.” · Brown: “And labor to be an act of love. Homo laborans, man in labor, is man amans amare, in love with loving, and seeking an object for his love. Return culture to the root; rediscover our roots, the radicalism. The Garden Project.” · N. O. Brown: “Laborare est orare, to labor is to pray. Overcoming the distinction between the active and the contemplative. Overcoming the distinction between works and grace. The Garden Project.” The heaven of earth, made Real. The Third Way.
