2. God is unveiling light and rememberance, the demonic is concealment and forgetting
3. Humans are divine image bearers and thus co-creators of the telos
4. The trajectory, or telos of life is shalom for all, love flows shalom
5. Sin is whatever blocks the flow of love, which builds shalom through unveiling light and rememberance
6. Persons are too small to do "evil," and so, evil is impersonal, the result of collectively blocking the flow of love
7. The good (shalom) is too big for a person, so creative kenosis (the divine) is always everywhere luring persons into interdependence, solidarity, and creative kenosis
8. Which all suggests that The Way to shalom is shalom by being divine image bearers
9. There is synergy in being divine image bearers together that can create more shalom than we have ever dared to hope for or imagine
10. It is beauty that will save the world, or it will not be saved
