Maybe the idea of turning the self into God is an ideal to strive for...impossible, but a nice dreamy sales pitch.
What I see is deification of nature/climate, the Sustainability monster in disguise. The experience of unity may come about as you labor in your transformation, (doing the work (prosumption) required as the producer, in under the illusion of your own agency as this faith provides you with the virtue you should be seeking, that should satisfy the person whose liberation has begun, and the transformation in process.
Basically the tasks (life role, food, any expense or resource of society), as assigned, are to be completed for you to be in good standing of this 'liberation theology'. The faith part of communism for consumption by the current consumers. This is the skin-suit for all of us, not them. They are giving us purpose and permission to transform, but it becomes duty.
Thought provoking post- have to read again because right near the middle I got hung up, so I failed to completely process it.
I’m wondering if you’ve come across the work of Alison McDowell yet? She’s at WrenchintheGears and has loads of great research along these lines that might be useful for you.
