MLKJr: "Join w/ the Earth & each other to bring new life to the land, to restore the waters, to refresh the air, to renew the forests, to care for the plants, to protect the creatures, to celebrate the seas, to recall our destiny, to renew our spirits, to reinvigorate our bodies..." bit.ly/4kxtIcG

There can be no #community w/o a quest for #facts and #truths we can share in common. #Lies will tear communities apart from the inside out, indeed from "a #schism in the human heart." (~Jungian teacher Sue Mehrtens) bit.ly/3Tz8mQW

It is the #artist's gift to remind us of the depths of #goodness & the depths of #evil that #humanity carries within us. bit.ly/3Tz8mQW

#MeisterEckhart: We are all born "from the highest & best that a #creature possesses" & from "the most intimate depths of the #divine nature & its #wilderness." Here lie our #origins, our noble & divine origins. bit.ly/3Tz8mQW

The #Magnificat is a good antidote vs. those trying to displace #democracy w/ #autocracy. "He has routed the proud of heart. He has pulled down #princes from their thrones & exalted the #lowly. The #hungry he has filled w/ good things, the #rich sent empty away." #liberationtheology bit.ly/3Tz8mQW

#Fascism in all its incarnations constitutes a faux version of #masculinity & is incompatible with the #Christ. It is the opposite, a sign of the #Antichrist. bit.ly/3Tz8mQW

Let every man know that true #manliness isn't about power-over or the domination that #rape signifies. True manliness & #virility are about #virtue (vir means man in Latin). Let us teach that to our boys & men, court judges, politicians & media-buying billionaires. bit.ly/4kJtcbH

David French: "Our people #hate the right people" = "language of #grievance & #anger. There's a better way for #men - for all of us. It's rooted in #honor, #courage, and #love." bit.ly/3Tz8mQW

Andrew Harvey: The #Antichrist's plan "is to rubble the #divine image in #humanity & inaugurate a worldwide #authoritarian empire of lies & cruelty that has been exposed in #Project2025." bit.ly/3Tz8mQW

That #masculinity is in flux (& should be, given #patriarchy's damages & excesses) is no secret. But MAGA's definition is problematic: centering on #grievance & #anger leaves a lot out. bit.ly/4kJtcbH

There's a special relationship btw the via negativa & the via transformativa: as we learn more sensitivity from suffering, we tune more into the suffering of others, & moral imagination (vias creativa & transformativa) engages to assist in the relief of the suffering of others. bit.ly/3X5SbMD

#MeisterEckhart: "There can be no #love where love does not find #equality or does not create equality." Where equality is lacking, we are to bring it forth. bit.ly/3Tz8mQW

Theologian #JoseMiranda: "One of the most disastrous errors in the history of Xtianity is to have tried...to differentiate btw #love&justice." Split invites sentimentalism; Jung warns: scratch a sentimentalist & you get violence. Violence & sentimentalism are flip sides of same coin. bit.ly/3Tz8mQW

#4PathsOfCreationSpirituality deepen our #spiritualwarriorhood: The #warrior/prophet is the #mystic in action, grounded in the Via Positiva & Via Negativa. As warriors we must grow in #love & #gratitude for life, breath & beauty of a healthy #Earth, filling us for #struggles ahead. bit.ly/3X5SbMD

All of human #history has its #grotesque stories to tell - from #wars to #pogroms & the rest. That is why #truth is so important & guarding our #hearts individually & collectively is so important. bit.ly/3Tz8mQW Photo: #Kristallnacht - Nazi soldiers by a shattered Jewish storefront. Wikimedia.

#Aquinas: "Avarice gives rise to insensibility to compassion, b/c one’s heart is not softened by compassion to assist the needy w/ one’s riches. It gives rise to restlessness by hindering one w/ excessive anxiety & care for ‘an avaricious man shall not be satisfied w/ money’"(Ec 5:9) bit.ly/4kxtIcG

Talking about #evil is hard for Americans: Old Country trauma, history of #slavery, #indigenous peoples' land & culture stolen, the overselling of "sin" by religion minimizes evil. The archetype of #Antichrist names genuine evil. bit.ly/3Tz8mQW

In calling a contemporary #political leader & movement the "Antichrist" we are recognizing the power behind the instinctive impulses & patterns of behavior it elicits. bit.ly/3Tz8mQW

A gov't sans regulation is not a gov't of “we the people” but of “we the billionaires." Without regulation, gov't becomes available to the highest bidder & is guaranteed to be a gov't of greed, avarice & corruption. Of, by & for the greedy- What could possibly go wrong? bit.ly/3WQaZPq

The #promise of #America isn't #hate, #power, #patriarchy or "justice" serving corporations & oligarchs, but #justice that serves the poor, & a godlike #caring heart, as #Jesus taught: "Be you #compassionate as your Father in heaven is compassionate." #mercy #courage #truthtopower bit.ly/3Tz8mQW

#GianluigiGugliermetto: "We need lights in the dark night of #democracy that we are experiencing...the dark night of one of the major dreams of humanity, born in Ancient Greece: that chaos and violence could be tamed by means of democratic institutions." #Teachers #CriticalThinking bit.ly/3Tz8mQW

#Pruning creates #strength, richness, depth, tho temporarily pruning hurts & conjures up #doubt & #fear. It takes a wise individual to prune themself according to their unique needs & timing. But from this #lettinggo we become much stronger people. #OriginalBlessing #ViaNegativa bit.ly/3X5SbMD

I propose MAGA = “Make America Grotesque Again.” Public servants who vowed to defend the #Constitution are dismantling #democracy & the 3 levels of government that guard it. Good News? #Resistance is happening in the streets, town halls, media, Congress, courtrooms -- & ballotboxes! bit.ly/3Tz8mQW

#ZoharaHieronimus: "Divine grace is a power we can invite into our lives & we must do all we can...to prepare the way, as farmers do for seed. We are all rooted in paradise, craftsmen of noble souls & mortal bodies whose enabling energy comes from divinity's enduring love. bit.ly/4hkaVA6
