2/ McLuhan maps the physics of the Cloud Event: how the whole ontology of experience is rekeyed. Teilhard names the direction of that shift: collective mind converging toward a single center. Together they describe a transition that is simultaneously technological and revelatory.

11/ The depth-realm’s breach reveals the eschaton not as distant horizon but as present crisis-event—the collision of history and eternity no longer confined to Bethlehem or Calvary, but bursting outward. Love breaking open across soil, seed, species, networks, peoples. Teilhard de Chardin saw this convergence as “planetization”—the world awakening in love and structure, spirit and matter, culminating in the divinization of the cosmos. As he envisioned it, the universe is not merely a place where Christ is present—it is becoming Christ. In both Teilhard’s vision and Pauline theology, the cosmos is not discarded but drawn up into Christ—the one in whom all things hold together (Col. 1:17) and through whom all things are reconciled (Col. 1:20). This convergence unfolds not only in forests and fields, but through culture and conviviality. For those with eyes to see, the circuitry of grace is forming. Nature and technology, neurons and networks, roots and rivers—these are converging threads in a single tapestry. Cyberspace and Earth-space are not opposites, but complements. Heaven and Earth, presence and perception, converge toward a healed world. To be human is to become agents of a cosmic sanctification that embraces both desert blooms and data centers, cloud-rains and the architecture of our connectivity. Subtweet: And, crucially, direction. De Chardin: "Not only does Life move, but it advances in a definite direction." Meister Eckhart: "You should observe, and have observed in which direction God urges you most of all to go." A stance consciously allied to the flow of Reality itself.
