Transhumanism

David by Michelangelo Transhumanism | Saturday – February 7, 2026 I am someone who, for metaphysical purposes, advocates for the complete abolition of the human body, and eventually the complete abolition of humanity, or some part of humanity, and since this post is part of my " Future series ", I recommend that you go read more about my thoughts about the future, and this is not the first time I've brought up topic in this series, so again go read more.     Before I go on about transhumanism, allow me to explain shortly why I believe that the human body must be destroyed. In my view—I happen to take on a traditional and cyclical view of the nature of the world— destruction (Kali in the Hindu tradition) plays a central role in governing the balance of the scales of the celestial order, and as such I hold that the human body is the complete material representation of degeneracy and corruption of the primordial tradition ; really, the human body is the outwardly (exoteric...

Yahweh in  (יהוה‎) : Moses and the Burning Bush Should you have faith? Friday – February 6, 2026 In my post about " knowledge ", I wrote about knowing as opposed to faith, and if you want to find out more about knowledge, you should read that post and discard this one, and if you will you can always return to this post later.     Should you have faith? Well, that's actually an easy question to answer, but only once you have a skillful understanding of "faith". From a theological and perhaps more importantly a metaphysical point of view, there's a difference between faith and knowing, and I've also covered this lightly in my post about " Temporal Power ", and a good way of thinking about faith and knowledge is how temporal power relates to spiritual authority, and from this point of view it would be quite accurate to ascribe the quality, or really function of, faith to temporal power, whereas the quality/function of knowledge lies squarely and ...

Photograph of the Atlas globe Fear! Thursday – February 5, 2026 Are you afraid? I hope not, but the people in power want to keep you afraid, something that I've already lightly covered here . See, modern propaganda, something that I've also covered in the past , works not by attempting to re-direct your attention but rather by overwhelming your attention, to the point where you just give up on the concept of an objective reality all together, this is also relevant in my post " The end of history ". I don't intend on going over things that I've already described in the past, and that's why I keep linking to past posts. But, fear is a very important tool that can completely re-shape reality or the way you and most other people relate to reality, because fear is an emotion that is able to override whatever other faculties you rely on to orient yourself in the world, especially your rational mind, but also to an extent in your supra-rational mind; however, wh...

Temporal Power

Tibetan depiction of Red Jambhala ( ཛམ་བྷ་ལ་དམར་པོ་ ) Temporal Power | Wednesday – February 4, 2026 T emporal power—what moderns refer to as the state —constitutes the terrestrial manifestation of primordial wisdom or knowledge , and this power, the word power being used to symbolize some physical ability to change or alter the conditions of the material domain , is always derived from the mandate of Heaven, as the Confucians put it; the sovereign is in other words the envoy of the spiritual authority. Spiritual authority is different from temporal power, and according to most scholars it is fitting to delineate the words "authority" and "power" in this manner by evoking their different application: authority being inherent in wisdom and knowledge and therefore a part of contemplation, or the nature of the sacred and the immutable ; whereas power is something much more immediate and terrestrial, having very much to do with action and change, as previously mentioned;...
