@Agent888488 2\ Personally, I lean latterly. Close-in experience with, say, psychopaths, confirms the necessity of relentless moral precision for the common good. The smallest momentary misstep gifts evil all the purchase it needs. Do good and let God handle strategy, a secure course, I find.
@lukeburgis 5/ To see with eyes that outlast death is to experience the self that violence protects as vain. Nonviolence then isn't self-sacrifice but deeper recognition of a truer identity, transfigured and united beneath a fleeting dream of separation; the immortal life breaking through.

Copy of tweet here: 2/ I find a further dimension central, crucial; namely, as Adorno describes it, “Knowledge has no light but that shed on the world by redemption...” The experience of the redemption of the future from the power of history as a motivating principle in concrete reality, here, now. 3/ In the messianic light, humility, patience, forgiveness, the entire treasury of eternal graces, are perfected as the Tibetans say, in projecting the perspective through and beyond the death experience. Perhaps this is what it is to become immortal, in this realm of existence.
