Dear Gentles:
Are you
tired of reacting in the battle? Win a Big One here.
Try this.
(Aside:
This also illustrates rhyming cards, as I recommend for JBJ and Mike Bull).
1. Take as
a basis the names of the days of the week in English.
1a. I
presume these are relics of won battles in the culture war.
1b. The
gods and planets or Europe as incorporated
into the week.
2. That we
measure this significant time in 7 days indicates the victory of the One True
God, Creator.
2b. All
the other gods and creation are within this pattern.
2c. The
order in which they are presented echoes
the circle of fifths retuning after the Ascension, shown in Rev. 5:12-7:12.
3. But we
are in a bigger, world-wide battle to arrange the social firmament.
3b. @ the
Axial Age (Jaspers) God put challenges before the church-to-come: Greek
philosophy, Buddhism, Confucius/Lao-tse.
3c. Israel was in
Exile then.
4. I will
now rhyme/conflate 4 pattern cards.
4a.
Creation Week, retuned (as above)
4b. The
Axial age institutions to be incorporated (eaten)
4c. The 5
Cs liturgy pattern, sandwiched in the Already/Not Yet.
4d. ERH's
revolutionary pattern, forward-in-backward-out, as
imperative-subjective-narrative-objective (planetary service).
5. Thus,
The first
day of the new week (amening Creation, remember) is Already Day. Lord’s Day,
Sunday, WholeYMMM!! (a bonus, that last—we can have several days of the week
running concurrently, just as we have community calendars, work schedules,
church calendars, educational calendars [remnants of previous social orders]
running concurrently. One outer layer of the sandwich.
JesusAllTimesDay.
Forward. (See Gardner ’s
illustration of the Complete Cross of Reality in ‘Beyond Belief,’ or see Pella Square (first
page of search). These two are Call and Confess.
We are
cleansed into speechlessness, Inwardly, on Lao-Tse Day. But we have risen.
Abraham
Day. Backward to Consecration and Communion. We are given words. (The MittWoch,
as the Germans would say, middle of the week, Luminaries…(?), but that’s
conflating/rhyming another card! So would WotansTag/Wednesday/Mercury be.
Now two
days of Commissioning. [I didn’t say the
rhymes were perfect!] Buddha Day, out #1, and Greece Day, out #2.
And
NotYetDay.
Try it,
you’ll like it. Taste this echo of the Lord, and see that he is good.
Just as
ERH says that empires were conquered by Israel, Old and New, because they
rested every 7 days, amening The One True God, (New Israel said Trinity),
Creator, because by doing so, they amened that He had made all the things that
the empires worshiped (stars, parts of creation, planets…) and rested on the 7th
(rose on the 8th/1st), so too we ‘eat’ all these elements
of the social firmament into our echo of Him, glorifying. [Future such may
change—and it’ll take several jubilees for this to go from ‘weird’ to ‘that’s
the way it is. Maybe next time we’ll
have become more epistemologicall self-conscious about it?]
Love in
King Jesus,
and a
Joyous Buddha Day!
New
‘social firmament’ Charlie
PS: Recap:
We’ve fired a salvo in the Culture Wars, claiming that all creation is by The
One True God, Trinity, fitting into His categories. Thus: Worship Him, via the
Week, or as I’d prefer…
PPS: Let’s
practice. What’s today? Buddha Day, Out,
Commissioning #1.
OK, what’s
tomorrow? Greece Day, out #2, Commissioning.
Etc.
PPPS: You
can and will do better. This was a first
salvo in the ur-culture wars to come.
