Extended description

` I once dismissed "possession" and "exorcism" as occult kitsch. But just now, watching rivalrous mimetics—war logic, genocide logic, nuclear logic—go total, seizing minds, narrowing futures, and demanding sacrifice, it lands as hard realism. Apocalypsis reads as exorcism at scale. Politics cannot do the job of an exorcist Politics are not ethics, and they make really bad religion. Their track record says enough, and brings us to a practical concern with systemic possession. As such, the Messiah: functionally, an exorcism recalibrating identity at the planetary level, establishing an axis of ontological legitimacy restoring individual and cosmic order. Barth, Illich, Moltmann, Girard, Ellul, Jung and Hillman among others, are clear: diagnosis requires naming—"the first act of exorcism" (Wink). In the metaphysics of exposure, unveiling and judgment arrive together. The Event unveils both the flood and our position in its path. 1/ "When the stakes are life on earth, all else is a diversion," notes the Australian, Roshi Susan Murphy. As such, perhaps we require an exorcism (Rev. Dr. Jacqui Lewis) addressing the existential apostasy or ‘wetiko’ (Algonquian) of an extinction tyranny at the planetary level? "Mainstream media outlets are often unable to tell a story that doesn’t fit within the established narrative. We must tell our own story. Social media afford us multiple outlets for the consciousness-raising that movements have always depended upon. Use them all." - @RevDrBarber Tweet: The Planetary Christ laying the smack down on the cursed exceptionalism of the Nordic Christ, in a statement issuing from the Holy Land, the Gospel's epicenter, the very birthplace of Christianity? It had to happen. Subtweet: Nick Routledge If I may interject? “The ways of history do not lead directly upwards to the Kingdom of God, they pass by way of the final unveiling of the anti-Christ who conceals himself under the last mask to be stripped away - the mask of what is good and what is Christian.” - von Balthasar
