“The tyrant points to his own head, signifying that what he thinks & decides & pronounces will be the law & doctrine of the age.” This seems like a clear stmt about narcissism. He is in the thrall of himself, & his followers are in the thrall of him & his narcissism. #Antichrist bit.ly/4yq4dk7

#GianluigiGugliermetto: #Genocide is evil not b/c it kills, maims, or displaces more people than wars do. Genocide kills meaning...world view/purpose for living. Destroying an entire cultural/religious group...feels like an attempt to kill humanity, not just one’s enemies. #Gaza tinyurl.com/499a36kb

What is #Christ as #Archetype: #Light, #Truth, & #Wisdom; the “spark of the soul” inspiring us; our better selves; incarnated in Jesus & in all of us & in the world’s religions honoring light as divinity & divinity as light. #Justice, #Compassion, Forgiveness, Love & human solidarity. bit.ly/4xEil9B

#GianluigiGugliermetto reflects on current interest in "heretical" #Cathars massacred in 1209: pioneers of spiritual democracy, rejecting Church hierarchies & elevating women; embodying innocent victims but embracing anti-matter dualism. Interesting, tragic, but not GG's heroes. tinyurl.com/5n97sbsp

From the #Vedas: "Atman is a great #light residing inside of us...There is a Light that shines above this heaven, above all worlds, above everything that exists in the highest worlds beyond which there are no higher—this is the Light that shines within humans.” bit.ly/4xEil9B

These are apocalyptic times, but IMO in the most fundamental sense: a time when horrible happenings carry unexpected revelations. If we don’t heed such revelations, the times are simply bad. If we pay attention & connect the dots, we may learn something useful. tinyurl.com/f6hbx49r

The opposite of #Evil is not the Good (Bad opposes Good), but the #Sacred. This sheds new light on Evil, how to protect against it & work thru & transform it. Join us tonight for discussion & launch of Matthew Fox's newest book on #TrumpMAGAAntichrist, 7 pm ET - register at matthewfox.org!

TY to @philipgoldberg.bsky.social of #SpiritMatters for his searching interview with Matthew Fox today on "A Saint & the #Antichrist" - Trump, MAGA, St. John of the Cross, & the present #DarkNight of our culture & species. tinyurl.com/5azusb5h

Don't miss Matthew Fox & @lakedrivebooks.bsky.social's David Morris in conversation on the #Antichrist as archetype of #EvilInOurTime - TOMORROW, Tuesday 10/13, 4 pm PT! www.matthewfox.org

Those seduced & deceived by the #Antichrist's words will end up exchanging good for evil & evil for good, becoming lovers of pleasures & greedy for money, corrupt & immoral, violent & homicidal. The Antichrist #archetype is a very apt symbol for our troubling times. bit.ly/4yq4dk7

Praise for #SusanNeiman 's book #CallItEvil, offering substance to understanding ongoing evil in today's world - but ignoring #LiberationTheology & #basecommunity mvmt, one of 1900s' healthiest religious movements. Great lacuna, underscoring how secular philosophy has become. tinyurl.com/mr29rbtp

THIS TUESDAY - MARK YOUR CALENDAR!
Why does naming #evil matter? ​Matthew Fox & Lake Drive Books publisher David Morris join in live convo on Trump & the MAGA Movement as Antichrist: Recognizing the Archetype of Evil in Our Time. 10/13, 4:00 pm PT tinyurl.com/yy2ezzpp

Celtic scholar #JohnO’Donohue tells us “the Celtic mind adored the #light. . . . Ultimately, light is the mother of life. Where there is no light, there can be no life. . . . Light is the secret presence of the divine. It keeps life awake.”

#GianluigiGugliermetto: A wise mentor told me: Listening to somebody’s deepest concerns, anxieties, & dreams is one of the holiest human activities, to be approached w/ reverence...trepidation...“holy curiosity"... & avoidance of all judgment & projection. #PastoralCounseling tinyurl.com/y2c7u4ne

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
