You had me at Golgatha as Tzimtzum not economics in proximity to the Silmarillion. And I was birth-motherless for many decades. I found her. In Sebastapol. Thus Eden. Ha!

Thanks for this.

Really enjoyed this and these were my highlights ...

"There's a self-emptying or kenosis to, to open up a space for the creation. And so the crucifixion is in some sense, a repetition of that perhaps at a, at a higher octave. There's a recreation of, of the world and, indeed, of God, occurring in that moment."

"And what Ilúvatar does is just, you know, brings forth another harmony that includes the discord that Melkor had brought forth."

"Love wins in the end, and all the endings after that."
