On Earth as it is In Heaven
the primary & secondary beatitudes of Trinitarian & Cosmotheandric Perichoreses
In Heaven, we will superabundantly enjoy the primary beatitude of the beatific vision. And, Hell having frozen over, we'll also enjoy an abundance of secondary beatitudes, ie the stuff we protect during freeze warnings: people, pets, plants & pipes (organs of angel choirs).
In our primary beatitude, we'll finitely realize the very same enjoyment God has of Himself & Others. That reflects the special symmetry gifted us in our reciprocal bilateral personal relations. Other essential asymmetries refer to God-equalities not deemed in need of grasping after.
The above reflects our theological anthropology vis a vis the Trinity thru my Neo-Chalcedonian lenses. It speaks to the essential reality of an intrinsically perfect divine aesthetic intensity, as realizable by personal modes, both Infinite & finite.
Above has all been a set up:
Where & when it gets really interesting for me, spatio-temporally & anthropologically, will involve the whonesses & hownesses of any Cosmotheandric Christogony, both transiently & eternally, per an eternally dynamical aesthetic scope, wherein we'll enjoy the secondary beatitudes.
To address the hypostatic logic of any Cosmotheandric Christogony, both essentially & personally, in terms of symmetry & bilaterality, one best turn to JDWood's Maximian Christology. For me, his Neo-Chalcedonian account has further illuminated Gelpi, Bracken, Bulgakov & Jenson.
It will be good to recall, as I think out loud between Father's Day events, that we're more so talking about the meaning of the Gospel narrative, not speculating metaphysically. And logoi refer to - not universals or abstractions, but - concrete volitional expressions of persons.
So, like Jesus, even as His essentially adopted & not natural sisters & brothers, our primary beatitude, the beatific vision, realizes a Trinitarian perichoretic enjoyment. And, there's another perichoretic enjoyment in store, so to speak, yet another One & Many to realize!
By the very same logoic principles, "Who" eternally will/s the humanization of the Logos, the graced divinization of our tropoi will Help (via the Holy Spirit) each & every person to uniquely & co-creatively co-self-determine how we'll manifest the Christ!
Vis a vis how we'll manifest Christ per our tropoi, I refer to all manner of charisms & spiritual gifts as well as all manner of secondary beatitudes, i e. enjoyments of various finite creatures including - not only personal images & likenesses, but - shadows & vestiges of God!
re how each tropos will uniquely manifest Christ, it'll also involve each person freely, willingly & lovingly co-self-determining how they'll reveal Christ, each expanding their aesthetic scope by co-self-determining one form of eternal wellbeing after another, after another, epectatically.
How, then, might we best refer to the bilaterality (mutual conditioning per affect & intentionale) & symmetry (degree of reciprocity) involved in this Cosmotheandric perichoretic dynamic?
As a thoroughgoingly mutually constituted Many, the Logos eternally generates our Otherness as a beloved, concrete, social Absolute, wherein He loves & enjoys both Himself & every unique Other. Our perichoretic bilateralities (incl enjoyments) would be thoroughgoingly symmetric?
re our hypostatic naming, i.e. as Christs, & hownesses, i.e. as tropic manifestations, while there's no Trinitarian theogony in play in that perichoresis, there's no reason that the Cosmotheandric perichoresis need preclude a Christogony, not even an eternal & everlasting one?
Today's journey was to set forth more concretely where we're headed, i.e. what we're made for, oriented to & guaranteed (by HS) to realize. I'm sold on Creation as Incarnation. My interest going forward? How to proleptically realize it in prayer & service, devotions & practices, NOW!
Finally, how will we experience Jesus & how will Jesus experience us?
