@kuchiroma1979 @Plough @IsaacNelsonX17 John 10:10 states it. Embody the Way and we become more fully tethered to the immanent historical dynamism of a theo-drama transforming all of created reality, and to a harvest of meaning surpassing the experiential poverty that fails to explain the very engagement it longs for.

Embody the Way and we become more fully tethered to the immanent historical dynamism of a theo-drama transforming all of created reality, and to a harvest of meaning surpassing the experiential poverty that fails to explain the very engagement it longs for. 1/ No wonder the advent of a global, moral fusion movement remains occulted to mindsets defined by political and religious parochialism. Its version of perception and liberating activity so fully casts irrelevancy upon dominative secular and religious worldviews. 2/ In practice, seeing through a catastrophically diminished self-image of materialist and religious fetishism opens us to a life superseding the draconian limitations of a conventional way of processing reality constricted to a shadow of its co-creative powers and potential. 9/ Please don’t let self-appointed cultural arbiters blindly & unwaveringly invested in a caricature of realism, fool you, friends. Simply because most of us have succumbed to a vast, culturally-commanded dark night of sleep, doesn’t make this, Our Paradigm Shift, any less Real. 10/ Yes, away from the levels of reality well-lit by ‘the Expert State’, beyond the turmoil, controversy, bewilderment and totalizing freefall of a dominative epistemology and all that it sustains and disfigures in our eyes, our common Story evolves. Surely, you've heard? 3/ This, not some form of cheap universalism, rather a planetary reckoning with a Wholeness transcending supremacist epistemologies and their full-spectrum dominance over the moral and ontological imagination and “the infrastructure of all religions and all cultures.” (Girard) end/ Modernity? An isolated, isolating, fiercely constructed and constricted Story, predisposing us to the madness of a control complex gone mad for the illusion of separateness. Elsewhere? A horizon of hope and its earth-bound promise of planetary resurrection into eternal life. Quote tweet: 31/ The Kingdom is not a fixed arrival but an intensification of presence. This is the eschaton as co-creation: not spectacle to behold, but fidelity enfleshed. The Reign of God arises not from ideology, but from entangled communion. Incarnational integration in motion

@PageauJonathan 31/ The Kingdom is not a fixed arrival but an intensification of presence. This is the eschaton as co-creation: not spectacle to behold, but fidelity enfleshed. The Reign of God arises not from ideology, but from entangled communion. Incarnational integration in motion.

Quoted by@CTmagazine 6/ This question exposes the deeper grain: Are we simply enduring the interminable suspension between meaning and meaninglessness, between the promise of intelligibility and its perpetual deferral, or does this waiting possess its own form of revelation, agency and purpose?Quoted by@RxOnlyFL @cognazor 'He is Risen’? So what, if our everyday allegiance forsakes the costly obedience of messianic identity for the very powers and principalities Jesus came to exorcise. Loisy saw the counterfeit: “Jesus announced the Kingdom, but it was the Church that arrived.” Come out of her.
