7/ Lesser centers fail because they're exclusive, finite, and require managed ignorance to hold their boundaries intact. They can't scale to include what they've designed themselves to exclude. "The world set alight" is when such contradictions become existentially untenable.

Calligraphy:

And all shall be well and
All manner of thing shall be well
When the tongues of flames are in-folded
Into the crowned knot of fire
And the fire and the rose are one.”
― T.S. Eliot, Four Quartets

The Second Advent, then, as a _planetary_ pedagogical method equal to the gospel transmission of a radical transformation in the meaning of power in the unitive core of the human being, whereby all the heart’s quests are revalued and hierarchies of history reversed.

2/ "We do not preach only one coming of Christ, but the second as well, much more glorious. The first coming was marked by patience; the second brings the crown of a divine kingdom. We look then beyond the first coming to the second.” - Cyril of Jerusalem

"The second coming is but a deeper understanding of the first coming." – Moriarty

3/ "The Savior will not come to be judged again, but to judge those by whom he was judged. His first coming was to fulfill his plan of love, to teach men by gentle persuasion. This time, whether men like it or not, they will be subjects of his kingdom by necessity." - Cyril of J.
