Habits?

Hindu ( ॐ ) depiction of the Bhagavata Purana ( भागवतपुराण ) Habits? Tuesday – May 5, 2026 H abits belong to the category of things, places and spaces that pertain to " ordinary life ". Ordinary life, of course, belongs to another category, or rather you may say that ordinary life is an inferior principle of the larger and overriding principle of modernity, or if you want to put it this way: anti-traditional action . Now, I do not care how you choose to conceive of these matters; what is important here is that you understand principles and operate from within them, and this begins with the recognition that a principle may only be suited for a particular modality, and that principles that are subordinate may never be fully adequate enough in the anterior modalities; an example of this would be how faith and religiosity operates in the exterior modality as opposed to how true knowledge operates in the esoteric modality, read " Qualification " for more on that. This ...

Observations About the World, Part Thirty-One

Photograph of the Atlas globe Western Fragility | Monday – May 4, 2026 F rom a historical point of view, even a recent one, the pathetic state of the West is actually quite shocking, and even hard to understand because of how evil it is at the same time. What we are dealing with here is indeed evil and it would not be a stretch to call it demonic and satanic, but this disease , this mindset of the pray is no longer only contained to the West, which should be worrying, at least for those who claim that the world is yet to have entered into the last and terminal phase of this cycle . For me, on the other hand, the manifestation speaks for itself, as everything so far mentioned on this page is in keeping with the Kali Yuga and the approaching cataclysm . For me this fragility is not so much concerning as it is hauntingly telling, because indeed what we are dealing with here is haunting, something quite beyond concerning . Of course, I should mention, that evil is nothing new, but in th...

After all, education is rather useful, at least within the context of some system; the problem with modernity is, of course, that the system itself makes no good use of education. See, education tends to become and more narrow and granular as you ascend toward higher and higher material pursuits, you may call this complexity, but the inverse is of course true for metaphysical and sacred knowledge : the world becomes more and more complete as you ascend above the material, which means that modern education is really the very opposite of true knowledge, really doubtfulness is a ...

Naturalism and Its Confused Opponents

When life finds a way By Rawan Ahmed Naturalism and Its Confused Opponents | Saturday – May 2, 2026 T here is much talk of resilience in these times of individualism, both as a general concept but also within a larger and often overriding naturalistic narrative about the supposed " evolution " of the clearly manifest, not that most serious biologists would necessarily argue that life itself is good in and of itself, or rather that what is being manifested as life is merely a function of a kind of "survivorship bias", and really what is meant, seemingly, by " the survival of the fittest " is not that the mighty have a reason or a right to survive, but that they are mighty at the moment, remember that the medium of life exists within continual movement and change, because they are the survivors; at any rate, this is the more granular materialistic explanation for life, an explanation that most men indeed fail to ever understand, because they are stupid, read...
