NO WAITING IS REQUIRED.
On 15/12/22, RRohr, of Contemplation in Action,
fueled these evolving thoughts………….
“God for us, we call Parent.
God among us, we call each Human Being
God between us, we call Common Good/ Holy Spirit.”
This threefold integrity is active, present,
profound, and undergirding, to be trusted,
even behind all brash human misconceptions,
born of egotistic interpretations and implemented,
in USURY, that false god of gain by exploitation,
in THEFT OF THE COMMONS, ownership replacing stewardship,
in humanly INSTITUTIONALISED AUTHORITY,
blinding so many of us to the AUTHENTICITY of
hope and love lived out self-consciously against huge odds
that obscure our own incarnation in the nature of all life;
thus, demystifying the enduring spirit materialised on earth.
gathered from dialogue on faith and action
We seek to encourage an integral and creative assault on
the exponential rise of these three structural faults….
Usury/ Land Exploitation/ ‘Power-Over’ by Institutional Structuring,
ANOTHER DAWN OF THE SUN PARADIGM.
Consciousness is our personalised experience of cosmic continuity,
and is always open to enlargement by discerning
dimensions previously beyond our ken.
Mysteries now appearing through the ultra-red eye
of Webb’s new probing telescopic sight,
are enabling our dim sight and shallow consciousness to
to brighten a Dark Paradigm by the rising Sun Paradigm
of the Webb’s open-eyed, open-minded, search.
WAR, PEACE AND COMMONS RENT
Alarms sound on every hand!
The root injustice is built into the current economic paradigm
that has led to the appropriation of great wealth by an elite few.
Unwittingly we have allowed a military-industrial-financial complex
to dominate the world with imperialist foreign policies.
Invaders, Resisters and Imperial wars perpetuate at incalculable costs.
Is there a Judeo-Christian prophetic voice for the economics of peace?”
Christianizing, civilizing, genociding: hardly the purpose intended.
One prophet anticipates four existential crises could converge in 2028
generating global conflict on a scale never before experienced by human kind.
To navigate through the threat to humanity, a new narrative is needed.
Nations would be united by understanding the unique qualities of Commons Rent
which contains the secret to conflict resolution, justice and peace.
However small our role in sounding this warning, we should all try.
A stable setting reminds us where we all began, helpless children!
That same story indicates our potential role;
an ability to find in our nature, nurture and maturity
a tiny but significance place in letting eternal love flow through
all our systems of an ecologically sound path to justice and peace.
“O greatest goodness! Today highest Godhead becomes poor humanity.
The eternal is born into time, the measureless is contained and concealed
in the form of finite being.”
From In Nativitatim Domini Nostri Jesu Christ
The Incarnation positions Jesus among those
PREPARING THE WAY TO…
an exceptional example of human response
to ‘God’, creatively incarnate in each of us,
from microbial stardust via the sun,
to being discerned in time in a stable,
thereafter identified as a lasting example.
Expand a genuine Faith – in new convictions
about our purpose and its daily pursuit.
Sustain Hope – through our aspirations and dreams
expressed in interpretation and action.
Pursue Love – acknowledging every aspect of
creation as felt in our daily actions and in all
aspects of that many-faceted key four-letter word.
Experience Joy– finding profound ease
in mutuality during ups and downs
sensed as our-selves inescapably in community.
Thus the ‘Primordial Pattern of Reality’
is known in a host of rich metaphors,
‘Christ’, ‘Messiah‘, ‘Logos’, ‘Blueprint’;
all aspects of ceaseless symbiotic creativity.
‘The Beloved Community’ is ‘All creation in motion’.
The ‘Offspring of God,’ is not just Jesus
but ‘All spirited energy expressed in matter,
not least in our own daily witness.’
Peter
