My views on the nature of reality – July 1, 2025
The world as the material expression of reality is the most salient and manifest form of the creation, for it makes itself apparent without effort, even to the man with no sight, and indeed the material nature of the world can be quite overwhelming and intoxicating to the man of mortal flesh and imperfect intent, the man of the primordial, the man of us all without perfection and high quality. This has prompted man, in his imperfect state, to seek profound insight into the world, for the betterment of himself, his society, and his prodigy, but this insight, while still converging around the source, is being challenged in the material game of politics and short term gain from all angles, thus reducing the sight of modern man – indeed the more modern man has become convinced of his own high status, the idolatry of modern man, among the many and growing material stations of the Earth he has lost his sense of the sacred and the traditional, he no longer knows of the bounds of morality and reality. For any man to exist and properly operate within the material domain and keep the distance to the multitude of ways the creation makes itself apparent across the world and across multiple dimensions, it is a necessary prerequisite that he should know of the proper balance of the celestial scales so that he may relate to the world in the most functional and proper way possible, so that he may align with nature effortlessly.
In modern times however, it has become quite fancy and commonplace to actively seek out the untruths and the falsehoods of the world, often made up in the attempt to defend the indefensible in the name of egalitarianism, tolerance, and indiscriminate acceptance of every act justifying the material victory of the supposedly reasoned and liberal man – thus rendering modern man's relation to the world a chaotic ocean of free floating specs of truths connected with falsehoods and untruths that do not properly explain the nature of the world or of man himself, but that do fulfill the ideological requirements of the humanist axiom. Verily, insanity has been imposed on modern men, for only the state of unmitigated chaos, the willing chaos of modern man, can explain the complete degradation of morals, quality, and effort in the modern world, and as fewer and fewer men can relate to other men, the world, and indeed themselves, for it is a necessity to understand the world so that you may understand yourself, the chaos will continue and the human condition will further devolve, until man has rendered himself no longer alien from the beast – once the transformation into the beast at the height of the Kali Yuga is complete. To ask a man to throw out his worldly direction—his sense of societal harmony, hierarchy and the natural order—is indeed to ask that man to fall into complete disarray, to embrace the insanity of the beastly way, and such is indeed the case with most modern men. For what has the world to offer without direction to guide the man seeking meaning and enlightenment?
