We have said that #Christ is the projection of the best of ourselves. Our best aspirations: our capacity for compassion; for choosing justice vs. greed & injustice; choosing forgiveness vs. revenge, hatred, & rage. #Jesus tells us we are all capable of such powers. bit.ly/4yq4dk7

#GianluigiGugliermetto: #GaborMaté describes obstacles to trauma healing (guilt; self-loathing/rejection/sabotage/destruction, & memory blocks) as our "stupid friends." But fear, avoidance, rejection, or suppression of these "undesirables" only delays our emancipation from them. tinyurl.com/me29rhmd

Today’s #science tells us there are photons in every atom in the universe, bearing out Christ being called the “light in all things.”(John 1). Physicist #DavidBohm declares #matter is “frozen #light” / very slow-moving light, eliminating forever the dualism btw matter & spirit. bit.ly/4yq4dk7

#GianluigiGugliermetto: "It is completely pointless to compare individual traumas. We are called to work on our individual inner situation, expressed externally through our body, as it has been shaped by our individual #trauma, as #OttoRank intuited a century ago." tinyurl.com/mvh44bsw

Today’s #science has linked up w/ the #non-dualistic tradition in healthy #religion by reminding us that all #matter is flesh & all matter is light, thus we can erase forever the dualism of #spirit vs. matter & redeem the word “flesh.” bit.ly/4yq4dk7

#Religion has so often focused on the word #sin that our culture has little grasp or even language for the word #Evil —a far bigger word than sin. Sin allows evil in. Lakota teacher Buck Ghosthorse says, “Fear is the door in the heart that lets evil spirits in.” tinyurl.com/2s427k7f

#Evil must be put in a larger context of #originalblessing, seeing the universe as unfathomable gift & mystery of goodness & grace that has brought Life forward over 13.8Bn yrs. That we wrestle with evil is integral to our existence. But existence itself remains an ineffable mystery. bit.ly/4yq4dk7

It is humanity’s responsibility at times to name the depths of depravity by invoking archetypes that evoke our efforts to discern its pernicious presence among us & wrestle down its efforts to seize both souls & society & bear us away from our better nature. bit.ly/4yq4dk7

With many nations reverting to fascist ways, & w/ powerful corporations (Heritage Fdn, Opus Dei etc.) striving to end democracy; w/ white supremacy & “Christian nat'lism” rising & corrupt SCOTUS enabling, & Project 2025 guiding Trump2.0, the Antichrist archetype strikes me anew. bit.ly/4yq4dk7

#GianluigiGugliermetto reflects on #Justice: While justice can be achieved as a fruit of labor, e.g. through political action, in a deeper sense it is also a gift: not from anybody bestowing on us what is actually rightfully due to us...[but] a gift of the universe. tinyurl.com/8a9j8cjm

Many pundits have observed how the #RepublicanParty under T**** has become less a party than a “cult.” But they have not specifed what kind of #cult it is. In this book I raise the question: Is this cult a twenty-first-century version of a Cult of the #Antichrist? trumpmagaantichrist.com

#MeisterEckhart: "Everything praises God. Darkness, privations, defects, evil too praise & bless God.” How? Evil calls to our capacity for courage, love, forgiveness & discernment; it calls us into community & struggle so good, beauty & justice return & Christ overcomes Antichrist. bit.ly/4yq4dk7

It is easy for humanity to forget its powers of hope, healthy moral outrage, caring, compassion, prophetic vocation, love, forgiveness, courage. That is what the prophets of Israel & Jesus/the Christ & avatars from other traditions all call forth: “the better angels of our nature.” bit.ly/4yq4dk7
