Hindu ( ॐ ) depiction of Ganesha ( गणेश ) on his Vahana Mūṣaka ( वाहन ) Happiness? Wednesday – May 13, 2026 H appiness, is it even important? You see, there has been plenty of talk about happiness or the need to always be happy, as if a person that is not "happy", per se , is somehow defective. But is it really the case that human beings should go on and be happy all the time? What is the point in being continually happy? Of course not, and the whole point of being happy would just become defeated if humans experienced nothing but constant happiness, and indeed many people who are "happy", or perhaps more so seemingly happy, properly belong to that, somewhat problematic category , of the insane , read more about that here . Indeed, a person that is continually happy is usually labeled a "maniac", for maniacs tend to display this kind of overly happy and overly optimistic, and perhaps above all a kind of motivation that is too strong for any kind of good, a...

Personal Note XLVI

Yahweh in  (יהוה‎) : Moses and the Burning Bush My Views on "Neighbors" | Tuesday – May 12, 2026 N eighbors, are they not annoying and weird, and really is not the entire concept of neighbors really bizarre to begin with? Of course, and as usual the concept of "neighbors" is another expression of  the rampant and confused individualism in the West . The fact that people can go on to live completely compartmentalized and segregated lives so close and parallel to each other, yet in so unfamiliar manners as to be almost complete strangers is indeed a new phenomena under the Sun, really something quite unknown to previous generations, read " Multiculturalism ". Of course, I do have personal experience with this, read more of this series here , and it has always been something quite striking, yet most modern people seem to hold the view—because moderns always hold views, they never quite know —that this kind of life, or " lifestyle ", is quite natura...

Eugenics

The norns Urðr, Verðandi, and Skuld beneath the world tree Yggdrasil ( ᚢᚴᛏᚱᛅᛋᛁᛚ ) Eugenics | Monday – May 11, 2026 E ugenics is on my mind, not because I believe that the concepts of eugenics are any more salient today than say a century ago, but because the question of modifying humanity, read " Transhumanism ", is very salient. Of course, you may dismiss the concept of Eugenics as something that once was salient, but the fact is that a lot of people still believe, rather foolishly, in these principles, and yes partly because they are stupid and misinformed but also because most people believe, read " The Case For Education ", all sorts of stuff, because when people do not know of the world they are very easily influenced, and in those moments cynicism tends to prevail, particularly in the internet age , which is somewhat of an indication of the mentality of most people , and another argument against democracy of course, but that is a point for another time. I sh...

The Hypocrisy of the Pious

The Crescent Moon ( هلال ) By Ali Fekri The Hypocrisy of the Pious | Sunday – May 10, 2026 H ow dare you? How dare you invoke moral purity without adhering to the doctrines , the teachings, and the principles? Really, how dare you, read " My Views on Fundamentalism "?. Well, a lot of people do "dare" to operate in this manner and these people are false prophets and really the first politicians  or at any rate the precursors to politicians and politics in general, because if you ever scrutinize politicians close up you should notice how they themselves almost never live up to all the talk they like to make. No, metaphysics is NOT about moral preaching or politics. Metaphysics is about higher principles, higher knowledge, and above all the unseen, or really those aspects of the manifestation that require proper qualification . Moral preaching is only truly about the exoteric aspects of one tradition or the other and more often than not these " exoterisms ...
