@PageauJonathan 17/ The prophet does not hide—they are obscured. Not spectacle or herald, but pattern. The messianic doesn't so much "arrive" as "arise" through diffuse coalescence. The world’s grain splits open, and through this rupture the Real begins to reconcile, reconfigure, become livable.

Copy of tweet here: Dec 18, 2023Replying to @Sophiologist_ A chorus of modern voices (Debord, McLuhan, et al.) go further, echoing planetary prophetology's epochal challenge to a form of totalizing, wall-to-wall propaganda (Ginsberg's "official version of history and reality") effectively "eclipsing the messianic experience". (Agamben) Exactly. Bly's 'wounds of abstraction' characterizing an all-encompassing pathology of consciousness; the totalizing hegemony this Spectacle of reification invisibly maintains; and homecoming to concrete reality as the salvational pivot returning us, finally, to freedom's ground. 3/ We use the terms 'truth of the neighborly' or 'realocalization' to describe this emphatic, planetary shift in experiential locus, away from mediated Spectacle toward direct, proximate participation in a dynamic mutualism far transcending human limitations, genius and powers.
@CACRadicalGrace @brianmclaren Brian, eco-social physicians aver the Kingdom is an 'actively inhabited' love affair. Every resurrection, then, is only ever a participatory manifestation, a dynamic homecoming integrating the more-than-human realm. Yes, salvation arises from the ground as much as comes to it.
