ANCIENT MESSAGE/TOUCH OF TRUTH
Social inebriation seems to be the net effect of modernism’s collapse. The world’s philosophers are waking up to the after effects of nationalisms hopes being dashed on the rocks of failed optimism that in effect were incubated within the womb of societal confidence and the humanistic expectations of bettering the cause celebrity concerning mankind’s innate abilities. A postmodern hangover permeates the philosophical awareness that has brought about this awakening concerning the aspect of the conditions of despair that have resulted from the unfulfilled potential of reasons desires. What is to become of this transitory period? That answer will become the apparent heir maker of cultural assumptions and ideological foundational considerations. This is the relevant aspect of Christianities potentiality.
The answers to neurotic societal behavior lie in the ability of the Saviors capacity to exorcize all that, which is untenable and problematic. It is funny, is it not, how the world has made a reversal concerning the fortunes of intellect and understanding? The fallacies of the Enlightenment’s failure to usher in a new utopian existence have exposed a King with no clothing, a naked absurdity that is really quiet impotent. Once all the hopes of a new era of human potential minus the God equation were the rage of the intelligences. Now, pre-modern permutations abound as humanity struggles to find its way through the newfound maze way of collapsing belief systems.
The implosion of the Kantian philosophical promises that reason would prevail coupled with the mitigation of the oppressive religious needs of primitive passions serves as a fictitious savior. These moorings of modernism’s lust for stability and self-actualization have turned upon those who esteemed philosophies provisional musings. A sensate based narcissistic and functionally existentialistic premise has now become posits for humanity’s salvation concerning truth, or, the lack of truths existence. Neurotic extremes are the norm as skeptical mysticism transcends the analytical landscape of thought, making allowance for a spirit of whatever comes your way to be superimposed upon the collective conscience of the bankrupt forces of mortal thoughts and philosophies. The abandonment of concepts of rationalisms premise is a telling sign of the troubles that exist in times of cultural transformation.
New paradigms are emerging that attempt to reorient the procedural practices of contemplative projections on the pillars of assumable importance. The problem that emerges in this illusive scramble toward the projected images are only phantasms, no more substantive than an early morning spring mist hovering above the Allegheny river prior to sun rise. Nietzschian bestowals of doubt and the abject rejection of God as a possible contingency transfix itself upon the vastly popular acceptance of pluralistic principles as applied to religious properties. The synthetic melding of factual exigencies with opulent fantasies through film and the sense of being loosened from ancient cultural moorings lend themselves into this lethal mix: all have blended into a mind-numbing alternate mode of approaching realities contingencies. Couple these aspects of societal upheaval with a resurging youth movement and a swift shifting of values becomes inevitable. Postmodernisms yearnings may be likened to the adolescent comfitures of youthful zeal without adult sensibilities. Multiple possibilities present a plethora of potentiality and miss’s actualization due to inexperience’s inept discrepancies concerning action for these personalities. Cinema and the smaller screen become a substandard replacement for experience, yet its siren song beacons all that fear any interaction that carries a sense of danger and intrigue.
Those who are apologetically minded have a sterling opportunity presented to them for initiating the Gospels prevailing promise within these intransigent variables of postmodernisms cathartic acceptance of multiplicious presentations. This can be witnessed in the expressed loss of a central estimation that invalidates spirituality as a necessary component of human experience. Communal comprehension projections also grant a possible inroad for Christianities necessary and logically concise truisms to find placement in this historically uncertain time.
The relevant aspect of social intervention and spiritually meaningful experience can intrusively insert the message of Holy Writ into the personal fabric of individual activities. This insertion brings with ti a stability that transcends the chaos of culture. Relational referents provide the means of communications foundation. In other words, God’s presence is best understood through the viable demonstration of those who accept His reality. Intervening into the modal bindings of human experience allows need satiation to give way to Gospel acceptance. Thus, the challenge to be servants takes on an increasingly important place in the social dialogue in the postmodern worldview. To be effective in this milieu, sacrifice is the expedient point of communications potential.
