After trying to read Your post 237, I had to go and lie down for an hour in a darkened room.
Not a clue what You are babbling about.
Hobbit"
HOBBIT / Thats classic! I think the only one with the pay grade to understand Dans reply to you is smelly. and I bet he's scratching his head too.
That’s a dense post.
I get his drift I think.
So we are in this Immateiral thread typing with material hands.
This is all about sleight of hand and metaphor.
Lots of confusion about the structure of the unknowable.
Dan is accusing you hobbit of being focused on the wrong source of the appearances. He thinks you are caught up in the phonomena.
I don’t necesarily read you that way. I think you are aware of the subtle like most aren’t.
I group what Dan would call animism with the subtle and the subtle is a reflection of something we can’t describe directly.
This gulf is what the confusion is about.
Immanetizing the eschaton. I have denied the historical prophetic tradition as corrupted. I have opted for direct mystical connection to the phonomena as well as a material one.
I deny Dan’s claim you and I are trying to immanteize the eschaton.
He and his ilk are!
We are sensing the actual flow while he debates philosophical and eschatological points.
We are as usual speaking past one another.
I have attempted to show Dan that you can sync down to source and get a sense for the flow and that’s what we should all be doing.
Our whole world is lost. It’s a dead world. We have killed God. Some see that as a boon and others a sign of the end times.
Here is what I say to all prophets...
Don’t know, straight on, STFU and walk straight on.
I won’t say eschatology is a waste of time, but there are much better ways of direct knowing.
The end result of a true path to me is loss of understanding.
Anyway, hopefully I make a little sense.
The world will not be saved per se, it is being dissolved before our eyes.
But we can spiritually see underneath events.
“Eschatology is the study of end times. The eschaton is basically the final stage of human history where the lion lies with the lamb and Justin Bieber is spoken of no more. It occurs after Armageddon when the Kingdom of God gets established here on Earth. But according to philosopher Eric Voegelin, who the term comes from, only God can establish this Kingdom. Popularized by conservatives like William F. Buckley, “immanentizing the eschaton” is Voegelin’s pejorative phrase for utopians who try to take the place of God in bringing about this final stage. Buckley’s critique is that these do-gooders usually use the force of government to ram down their vision of the ideal society without respecting the natural order and traditions that cause societies to evolve on their own.”
You and I are not Utopians are we hobbit?!
You and I hobbit are channeling the natural order.
I would say I am representative of where the natural order is taking us.
I can only speak for myself.
So Dan is totally wrong here.
Prophecy is immediately resolved in the ever happening now.
This is the gist of the Green Man book Dan and I have been reading. It’s not simple, but Dan I’m sure hates this.
We all can meet in the middle.
I like the middle way.
It’s simple.
There is no problem in the world, only in our view of it. We have made it unclear, but it is very clear locally.
Nietzsche and Christ aren’t actually mutually exclusive.
Dogma and literalism are the wrong way.
But Dan seems like the dogmatic one to me hobbit, don’t you agree? It’s ok and good actually to disagree on points. He is not an open sage that says go with the flow, well sometimes he says that, but he is trying to push and that’s not going to work.
Dan is not being authentic.
But I through my play tantrums and push people to make a point, but they are too literal minded to get the jab.
I use OMF to experiment with these ideas and see how people might respond.
I experiment in my personal life with people too.
Most can’t go any deeper than the material or some dogmatic nonsense, but that’s what this age was meant to do.
I’m a syncretic mystic and suspect hobbit is too.
We are often maligned and misunderstood by the herd, this is the way it happens. We are the scapegoats, my favorite roll.
I would say to Dan, he isn’t seeing clearly without the mystic lense.
