My views on reason – June 10, 2025

(अमितायुः)
What is being referred to as "reason", and has been referred to as such, since the beginning of the final phase of the Kali Yuga, the so-called "enlightenment", is the rationalization of materialism and the limits of the material domain, all for the purposes of rejecting the transcendental and the sacred. Reason is the result of living by the varying and ever erratic tendencies of the beast, and in order to make sense of the destruction in the footsteps of being controlled by and lead by the beast is in modern times, not to reject the beastly nature of modern man, but instead to embrace this nature even more, in hopes to finally fix the material circumstance of the human condition. Since modern man has convinced himself of his own greatness and his own godly and infalible nature, he is left only with his own ability to manipulate and alter the material, and this has worked to the degree that material conditions have become better, but at every step towards this betterment, this "progress", man's connection to ascendent has diminished, and it is this ever growing distance to the cosmos and the transcendent that is being celebrated by reason.
To reduce man to the beast, the animal of the homo sapiens sapiens, has been the greatest achievement of this ideology of "reason", to deprive man of his ability to reach true enlightenment and true transcendence, and to doom him to the iminent entropy of the material domain is the victory of reason. Notice that nothing in the moral domain ever improves in the era of the Kali Yuga, because the temptations of the beast keeps pushing the limits of the moral boundaries of the universe, for they stand in the way of ever greater profits, and hedonistic pleasures, and as such the moral and the sacred has been deemed immoral and "reactionary". To preserve and protect the sacred qualities of life is being deemed an offense, particularly in the West, because to uphold the moral order is increasingly challenging the revolutionary ruling class, who keeps concentrating more and more power into their hands, and thus depriving more and more men of independence and true freedom; instead freedom within the material and transactional context is the only freedom allowed in the West. The highest bidder, he who claims the biggest purse, is ever more the arbiter of morality in the modern day, and anything that stands in his way is deemed immoral and evil and something that is impeding his freedom.
