@CTmagazine 5/ The nature of compromise hinges on how we answer this: do our actions in the darkness before dawn actually serve redemption, or do they merely mark time in a cosmic holding pattern, bowing to the world's inertia? If the latter, what does such passivity betray?

Can we also admit to a civilizational precipice limned upon the horizon of planetary eco-social collapse, and the Incarnation as a long convulsive struggle between the katechonic political theology of Empire and the activist political theology of the Kingdom of God? t.co/3HwS1w5dZI

Dominative global structures of consciousness and power militantly vested in a symbiotic, aggregate, existential imperative to eclipse the Messianic. No matter. The epistemic truth of Reality will not be denied nor its Time deferred. “The crises become “states of permanent exception and emergency,” and a permanent state of exception is, of course, no longer exceptional. Crisis is "our normal state", crisis that never resolves, “no crisis at all”. Why? Because resolving it would end the game.

Call it the mimetic crescendo of a 'Media Event' then, the second-tier fabulism of techo-modernity stumbling unawares into the sunburst of revelation of a 'plot device' overturning the tables of history itself. The fat lady singing. t.co/cQEvXAMr5u

Open original document@SophiaCycles Adorno: “Triviality is evil - triviality, that is, in the form of consciousness and mind that adapts itself to the world as it is, that obeys the principle of inertia. This is what is radically evil." Apropos Jung : "We move toward individuation both singularly and collectively."

Copy of tweet here: There is alas nothing more normal than to refuse to believe that a cataclysm — even when it is staring in your face — is about to engulf your life. While necessary for mental health, this instinct blinds people to oncoming calamities. What definition of ‘mental health’ exactly? A conscious identification with the unicity of planetary reality and consequence? Or the false freedom of subjectively-isolated deferral and denial? Heschel, routing the derangement: “Impartiality with regard to history is a pretense.”
