@gustophagus @longnow @ahmedkabil @Jacobkupp We use the term 'realocalization' to describe this shift in experiential locus functionally constituting a reinhabitory relationship with the Real. That said, no wonder coming home to the truth of reality lands as 'home-field advantage'. It fits. Home is where we live, after all.

Copy of @bluesky thread: 1/5 Coming from a view where history includes mutations in meaning-making—changes in the OS of how humans perceive and value—Mitchell's right on. Also, as mediation itself collapses (institutional, platform, epistemic) and trust with it, place and immediacy become the only reliable unit of reality. 2/ Bioregional reinhabitation becomes political transition, not as retreat, but as a return to the structuring principle of life where personal agency and the larger processes of life converge—accessible not through ideological superstructures, but by direct, immediate participation in what's Real. 3/ The transition defines a Shift superseding the epistemological blunder enculturated as modernity's substrative structures of legitimacy and power, precisely where its claim upon reality (cloaking itself in metaphysical authority: “this is just how things are”) is unsealed. The Apparatus fails. 4\ When the public condition of reality is re-encountered locally—where claims meet consequence—agency rebinds to what is embodied, habitable, and coherent. The defective isn’t so much torn down as outgrown: superseded by the unveiling of reality’s truer structure. end\ I’ve mapped this elsewhere in a metaphysical vernacular. I’m aware that can irritate. What matters is the convergent point: religious and secular imaginaries have both failed us, and both can be superseded by the same turn toward a common quest for the Real.

@NatureSchoolSU @WifeMamaHome @RizomaSchool 💚 Hah! Just this morn I began work on a "Break the spell" thread. Our theme for decades, of course. But you know how it goes: consciousness evolves and everybody's with it and, all of a sudden, something's coalescing that simply couldn't before now. Within a few days, I pray.
