@PageauJonathan 11/ This archetype in human form is not metaphor, but the actualization of a dimension of the Real, otherwise unrecognized—putting flesh on ontological strategies that grant access to otherwise occluded planes of relational being, making what was once impossible, inhabitable.

Copy of tweet thread here: …he was speaking not only to those who sleep but to those who sit, awake, on the ontological sidelines… Prophetic vision is not contemplative realization out for an afternoon stroll. It derives from a capacity to access a dimension of existence accessible only through the dynamism of actualization. Contrariwise, quietistic mysticism remains at a distance from an integral ontology.. ...accessible only through an active, co-evolutionary engagement with the Other. The emphasis here is ‘active’ and ‘co-evolutionary’. In this light, what declares a prophet is neither recognition by others, nor a claim; rather, ontology itself… In the co-evolutionary flow of the prophet’s life, an entire realm of existence accompanied by a seismic shift in meaning, significance and potentiality, otherwise hidden, becomes manifest. The peaceable kingdom is but integral reality, actualized.
@pauljpastor 1/4 'Wait'? That, we call 'occultation': imagining our capacity to 'see' the heaven of earth as standing apart from our engagement with it; as though 'waiting', with key-in-hand, will somehow suffice to open the door upon a participatory realm escaping our perception, ‘for now.’

The territory of homecoming, already spread out among us, awaits a personal invocation. It will not come by waiting for it. 'In order to inherit your freedom, you need to go toward it.' "The problem is not to find the answer, it's to face the answer." "Everyone seems to be waiting: waiting for the villains to be exposed; for justice to be done: for government to be changed; for climate science to be urgently acted upon; for Truth to be spoken and acted upon; for a tidal shift in human morality and higher consciousness; for a whole systems transition to a global culture of peace; for spiritual values to prevail. We wait as if the future will save us but the toxicity grows while we wait and the present is immobilized by endless commentary on our predicament as we sit on every possible solution to our multiple crises. And yet somehow we will become what we are waiting for if we put more than a toe in the water of real transformation and if we give it an almighty shove of creativity.”
