Eschatology

One of the things that interests me in exploring the Law of Thelema is storytelling (or lack thereof) not only in how we offer up the narrative of Thelema but also in how we examine theological history from a Thelemic perspective.

Every religion has a specific outlook as to the unfolding nature of history that is wrapped up in its eschatology. While many think of history as movement of time from which we have come, through a theological lens, history is also about movement of time to where we are going.

To understand how eschatology ("the last things," ta eschata) fits within a worldview that recognizes a cyclic or evolutionary theology of time, the question of what is evolving and what these cycles teach us comes into play. More importantly, though, changing the perspective of eschatology from some kind of fantastical macrocosmic point in the future ("end of days") to the immediate moment ("die daily") shifts our very perspective on a microcosmic scale to where our existential concern meets our essential nature.
