Hindu ( ॐ ) depiction of Tantric ( तन्त्र ) goddess Bhairavi ( भैरवी ) and her consort Shiva ( शिव ) depicted as Kāpālika ascetics ( कापालिक ) The Puritan Fallacy | Thursday – June 11, 2026 I n some ways "Puritanism" can be helpful , but more often than not people who obsess over being pure this and pure that, have one or two skeletons in their closet. Particularly this appears to be the case with fundamentalists , read " The Hypocrisy of the Pious ", who use puritanism, often as it pertains to the sensual arts, to cloak themselves in lies that tell a story of something that simply is not the case, while this also allows them to demean the actions of other men, and according to many psychoanalysts this would be a case of "projection", a kind of projection of one's own deceit, which makes these false preachers another kind of counterfeit that you will be sure to encounter in the modern world .

John of Patmos ( Ἰωάννης ὁ Θεολόγος ) watches the descent of New Jerusalem ( יהוה שָׁמָּה‎ ) The Great North | Wednesday – June 10, 2026 P rofane Science accords to the initial man that he was African, or rather African by modern standards , and to the extent that he likely originated from one place, profane science is not wrong; whether or not this original man appeared in Africa is rather another question, and surely there are many views to be considered in this regard, read " Hyperborea ".      If indeed the primordial body can be said to be black is also rather another question that I do not intend to deal with here; except that I will assert that skin color alone is not something that can be said to account for a mans race more than what the texture of his hair can, and besides there is a conflation going on here between the pseudo-mechanistic concept, read " Mechanism ", of man as a creation of his environment and man as a reaction to his environment, and whi...

Hindu ( ॐ ) goddess Matrika ( मातृका ) Brahmani ( ब्रह्माणी ) Further Notes on Addiction | Tuesday – June 9, 2026 F or some time I have refrained from broaching the subject of addiction , though I have referred to it in many posts, mostly because I find that most people are so unbelievably ignorant about this topic that I actually struggle to understand and certainly accept that so many people allow themselves to be so opinionated about an issue that is truly nonpareil when it comes to dealing with the outstanding consequences of materialism . Again, why are pretty much everyone an addict of one sort or another these days? Is it perhaps because modern people are all bums? Well, to some extent it would be true to say and really assert that most people are bums, for most people have a kind of blasé "I don't care" attitude these days, but the specific issue of addiction is of course far more complicated that this: sure most people are lazy and will never realize their full p...
