Live Blogging The Eschaton (2012): part 4 A Guest Post from Kenn Day

Kenn and I often find ourselves on the same uncanny page, without actually realizing it.  It's hard to realize you're on the same page - canny or un - when we only speak but once or twice a year.  And I just missed the best chance of each year by skipping out on a Solstice party he and his wife host in Festive Cincinatti.  (Sorry, it's that damn Schismatic, Walkup....I can't be in the same room!!)

Anyway. Early this morning, Kenn  commented on one of my Facebook links to this blog.  "Are we immanentizing?", he asked.    As  a shamen, healer, writer and father, Kenn  has a unique perspective, and a keen writing style. 

 I asked him  to write 250 words or less (I'm a bastard) on" Imanentizing the Eschaton.  "

Immanentize is to bring to fruition. Like adding chemical fertilizer to a fruit tree to force its production, or genetically designing a white calf, in order to fulfill the biblical prophecy and usher in the millennium. This also has a subjective application. We can immanentize our own awakening by thinking, acting and being in alignment with our deeper self or soul. There are many practices, from sitting meditation and compassion to refuge vows and renunciation, which can take us forward along the path of personal immanentization of our private eschaton.

 

Maybe the 2012 event will transform my ability to be open about how I care for people.

Thanks, Andrew. I missed you too. Solstice wasn't the same without you, and heresy just isnt even worth the bother if there is no one to be offended by it.
I first encountered the terms "immanetize the eschaton" in university, reading the Illuminatus trilogy by R A Wilson and Robert Shea. I highly recommend it for anyone who has even a passing interest in the illuminati, sychronicity, altered consciousness or just plain silliness.

I like this guest blogging idea. Adds sparkly bits to the other sparkly bits.
