Material drawn from the reflections
- The Edenic design. From Satan's Domain: "In the beginning, God painted a masterpiece of perfect harmony" - unashamed union with God, one-flesh union with each other, "their work a joyful partnership, every need met without striving... Life flowed from trust" (the garden and its charge to "dress it and to keep it," Genesis2). Humanity made in the image of God "as male and female together (Genesis 1:27)".
- Reality structured towards communion. From How the Kingdom Has Been Unfolding Since Christ: reality is "structured towards communion with God, self-giving love, and right relationship"; the eternal Logos is "the rational, personal, self-giving foundation of all reality". Living against that grain creates friction - the pressure dynamics of The Isolation Cycle.
- Restoration, not escape. The trajectory is "a new heavens and a new earth... where being human and reality itself are fully aligned with the love that birthed them". Cultures "bring their treasures to the doorway... The Kingdom does not destroy distinctives; it transfigures them." Creation itself "has been groaning and being renewed in tandem".
- Obedience as alignment with reality. Families as "seedbeds of discipleship where children learn that obedience is not oppression but alignment with reality itself".
