@alon_mizrahi 5/ And the prophet’s role? To make the method the revelation—break the spell and reset measure. Name the madness, revoke spectacle’s license, decouple desire from rage, and retune speech to the real. Show, somewhere, that truth can govern. After that, the work can begin anywhere.

What next, then? Planetary prophetology's unifying articulation names it: the surge of a crowning planetary authority revealing a realm and reign of truth transcending the mimetic crisis of chronically malignant fictions and fabrications sustaining the whole, aggregate shitshow. @nick_routledge Replying to @nils_gilman The real fight isn't politics. Rather the imperative to eclipse a puerile Spectacle imagining itself as the highest ground of necessity, probity and significance. We rise not as a political category but as a moral fusion movement obviating a pissing match pointed at a mass grave. Perhaps the deeper political significance of what are, in essence, maniacal purity cults, is the co-dependent Spectacle of totalizing distraction and denial sustaining the whole shebang. To see is to see through the show. Blake: "it is Burnt up the Moment Men cease to behold it." David, hi. Surprised to stumble upon a fundamentally secular community of interest and vernacular addressing "the political and temporal dynamism of eschatology" as it relates to "the possibility of a messianic Politics to Come." Nils' "radical philosophical event" comes to mind. Quote tweet: "Perhaps the clearest sign that we’re making progress will be when more policy proposals sincerely surprise us.” The contagion, now globally self-justifying. As Girard intuited, such totalizing, mimetic escalation ultimately warrants conclusive intervention at a planetary level.
Open original document@PageauJonathan 1/33 The mysterious Christian-Islamic resonance you note is no anomaly. When systems of meaning and power fracture, transformation breaks through in archetypal form—again and again, coalescing around a figure both ancient and new: the trickster, the hidden prophet—or both in one.

Copy of tweet here: 13/ As a rule, revelation manifests as meaningful coincidence or synchronicity, the primary hallmark of rich interplay at work. We look, then, to resonant complementarities spanning the richly diverse 'cosmovisions' (Panikkar) through which different peoples experience the world. 14/ Frankly, highly distinctive, unique, kaleidoscopic cultural forms corresponding to a common pattern or 'archetype' aren't exceptional. Their trans-cultural integration, united in mutuality as a powerfully configured, synergistic force and direction is more rare. 15/ Even where civilizations are antagonists and shadowed by fierce distance, a deeper, more compelling dimension of primordial, transcendent ground still serves as a relational magnet and bridge for the emergence of novel, cross-fertilizing iterations of a greater whole.
