Paolo Soleri's Glossary of Terms

Second Coming

The very fact that reality is a becoming , i.e., it evolves, calls in the status of all the events emerging and dissipating , composing such becoming. As instruments in the making of reality they all seem of disposable nature. Unless reality is at last able to "testify" to their existence and contribution, reality remains an engine without virtue.

The Second Coming responds to the fatal flaw of an unmindful reality. The self-revelation of reality, at the end of its becoming-evolution, is the loco for the second coming of all those events, organisms and mind included. Their resurrection in Omega Seed transfigures their instrumentality as means and finality of ends. Reality's Self-Revelation, Total Recall , Resurrection , Second Coming , Duration are one and the same into Omega Seed .
