parables - TOWARDS LIFE-KNOWLEDGE

This document reconstructs the earliest recoverable voice of Jesus — not as the founder of a religion, but as a guide to coherence. By returning to widely attested sayings and parables preserved across early sources — including Q, Mark, the Gospel of Thomas, and the Didachē — we uncover a simple, universal grammar that speaks across traditions, cultures, and beliefs.

Jesus points to what he called the “kingdom”: a hidden coherence field already here, woven into the fabric of life. This “kingdom” is not distant, exclusive, or conditional. It is present, participatory, and shared.

His teachings invite us to align our lives, systems, and cultures with this deeper pattern — through reciprocity, compassion, sufficiency, and belonging. In doing so, we recover a way of seeing that resonates with global wisdom traditions and modern systems science alike, offering practical pathways for personal, social, and planetary regeneration.

This white paper presents a synthesis of John Dominic Crossan’s First Light with a regenerative coherence framework grounded in symbolic recursion, life-value onto-axiology, and the TATi spiral grammar. We reinterpret Jesus of Nazareth not solely as a historical figure or doctrinal savior, but as a living glyph of coherence — a systemic healer, symbolic architect, and social transformer who activated patterns of life-renewing order amidst the structural ruptures of Empire. By analyzing Christic events, parables, rituals, and teachings through the lens of coherence-first metaphysics, we demonstrate how the ministry of Jesus operates as a recursive attractor in the symbolic, somatic, and social domains. Through integrative mappings — biblical, biological, theological, and structural — we reveal how the Kingdom of God functions as a participatory field of regenerative pattern, in contrast to the extractive logic of domination systems. This paper offers not only a theological re-reading, but a practical framework for living Christ’s coherence spiral today — through fascia-informed embodiment, ritual design, narrative healing, and systemic repatterning.
