This is a philosophy forum. Take your fucking pulpit to the park and hurl your eternal truths at the masses... but beware of rotten fruit.

Re: The good news
Sense we're on the topic of the gospel, I figured out what it is:
Philosophy (and/or mysticism, both of which boil down to self-cultivation) involves transformation, or perfection, or as James puts it, "regeneration", which is also synonymous with spiritual conversion (as opposed to theological conversion). Regeneration is marked most notably by an absence of desire or tendency to commit, give in to or experience any type of badness in the most general sense, be it smoking, grudge-holding, cowardice, pessimism or "dukkha". This marked occurance is called "resignation" by Kierkegaard, and apparently it happens both gradually and instantly. "Temptations from outside continue to occur, but there is nothing within me to respond to them." See Romans 6
No longer viewing the unimportant as important, but viewing the unimportant as unimportant, is resignation (crucifixion). No longer viewing the important as unimportant, but viewing the important as important, is regeneration (resurrection).
