***Justino Carneiro (@katechon22):*** 1. Agata Bielik-Robson, in 'God of Luria, Hegel, Schelling', writes: "Hegel manages to mediate between Christian, already fulfilled, and Jewish, not yet fulfilled, messianisms." This is correct, but only within the framework of Western pseudo-Christianity.🧵 https://t.co/1KvjXNCiGz ***Justino Carneiro (@katechon22):*** 2. Isaac Luria was the predecessor to both Hegel's and Schelling's notions of divine becoming, via Jacob Böhme—and his 'Christian Kabbalist' teacher, Balthasar Walther, who traveled to Safed in 1598 to learn Kabbalah from Luria's followers. https://t.co/6HAaFexOho ***Justino Carneiro (@katechon22):*** 3. The Filioque, as the heretical dogma at the foundation of Western pseudo-Christianity, opens up the space for the idea of inner development within God. Initially present in Augustinian speculation, this notion was later systematized in Scholastic metaphysics. https://t.co/hNmKq0XyRe ***Justino Carneiro (@katechon22):*** 4. Western theology is speculative metaphysics. The human intellect projects its own mental process in God, which is reflected in a 'logical order' within the Trinity. The Father 'first' and immediately originates the Son, and the Holy Spirit is mediately originated by both. ***Justino Carneiro (@katechon22):*** 5. Speculation unavowedly introduces temporality in God, since the human intellect is finite. This was historicized by Joachim of Fiore in the doctrine of the 3 ages of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The inner process of divine becoming is transposed ad extra in history. https://t.co/w8YWIyyHUR ***Justino Carneiro (@katechon22):*** 6. During the Renaissance, figures like Ficino, Pico della Mirandola, and Reuchlin initiated 'Christian Kabbalah', attempting a synthesis of Western Christian theology, Neoplatonism, Hermeticism, and Jewish Kabbalah. The central question became 'creation.' https://t.co/kWDSrtlKJh ***Justino Carneiro (@katechon22):*** 7. The Renaissance understood deification as participation in divine creativity, making the question of the creation of the world the most pressing speculative topic. The Kabbalah already had a metaphysical template for this in the doctrine of the Sefirot and the Four Olamot. https://t.co/k27lvboGGa ***Justino Carneiro (@katechon22):*** 8. Emanationist schemes of creation came to be seen as more appropriate within the metaphysical theology characteristic of Western Christianity. Since the West did not distinguish between God's Essence and Energy, God was necessarily conceived as a creator by essence. ***Justino Carneiro (@katechon22):*** 9. God contains within his essence the archetypes of creation, which unfolds as a consequence of the inner development of his own essential potentiality Kabbalah was envisioned by the Renaissance men as a better account for the 'mechanics' of creation, reserved for an elite. https://t.co/KUd0hkBMGr ***Justino Carneiro (@katechon22):*** 10. Luria's innovation lay in accounting for the otherness of the world in relation to God, reconciling the emanationist scheme with the radical alterity of the world, matter, and evil implicit in the traditional 'creationist' doctrine. In Hegel, alterity becomes 'negativity'. ***Justino Carneiro (@katechon22):*** 11. In Lurianic Kabbalah, God is initially infinite and boundless; in order to create the possibility for otherness, God contracts himself and releases an originary void or nothingness where creation can unfold. Negativity—God's self-negation—is the condition for otherness. https://t.co/NDhe647kFZ ***Justino Carneiro (@katechon22):*** 12. Within this doctrine, all 'Death of God' theologies are contained in nuce Atheism itself is conceived as a consequence of God's inner development. The autonomization of a world devoid of God is also a result of God's inner development. Apostasy too becomes theodicy. ***Justino Carneiro (@katechon22):*** 13. In this process of externalization, what is revealed is that, in speculative theology, Man was always already God. This is the secret theomachic doctrine of the Synagogue of Satan. But because man is created in the image of God, man as counter-image can only be transhuman. ***Justino Carneiro (@katechon22):*** 14. Man's self-deification through the internalization of the alienated Kabbalistic pseudo-divine dramaturgy can only spell man's self-destruction in a perverted and counter-natural self-creation. In becoming God, man must become his own homuncular lab rat. HOMO HOMINI HOMO https://t.co/Q93rxRPeJX
