The twelve goods.
The tempter cannot create, only distort. So every made thing participates in some real created good God did make. These twelve are the goods most concentrated in screens and the tools coming after them. Each is a distinct discipline of discernment.
Light
What am I looking at, and what is it making of me?
Presence
Does this bridge a real distance toward fuller presence (with another, with God, with myself, with the room I am in), or substitute for a presence I could have?
Image
Is this image a window I look through to Christ, or a mirror I look at?
Word
Are these words building up or tearing down? Both what I speak and what I take in.
Memory
Is this preserving testimony that turns me toward God, or curating a self I worship or escape into?
Gathering
Is this a real gathering that draws me toward the embodied body of Christ, or a login that lets me feel gathered while staying alone?
Time
Does this honor the shape of time God gave (its edges, its seasons, its inner weather), or flatten time into a frictionless 'anytime'?
Beauty
Does this beauty lift my eyes to the Creator, or stop at glamour, objectification, or aesthetic consumption?
Naming
Does this name and recognize persons in their God-given dignity, or reduce them to data, labels, and metrics?
Mind
Is this helping me think, or thinking for me?
Place
Does this root me in the place I have been given, or scatter me away from it?
Provision
Does this teach me to trust the Giver of daily bread, or to optimize my way around needing one?
