My views on quality – June 20, 2025

The antithesis to the modern world and the modern way of doing things: the ideological and the schematic way of the program, the robot, and the corporation – is the cultivation of true quality. Every aspect of quality bears the mark of cultivation and hard work, for it is only through consistent hard work beyond the time of any individual lifetime and any individual lust and need for materialism that quality is cultivated – quality is the aspects of materialism that brings with them transcendence, for they are inherently good and noble, and represents the celestial order and Gods love for his creation; within quality exists at the core some part of the source and every human soul. Quality is a part of the landscape, the fabric of society, it has a history, a lineage, and it has always been there, it is a timeless quantity that can't be clearly defined by modern ways of science, but nonetheless makes itself apparent in every aspect of life – it is the natural, the organic, the talented without effort as manifest in the creation, quite apart from the inscrutable, forced, mass recreated and orchestrated industrial society of the liberal man, driven by his most beastly instincts. Quality is in other words: self-evident and requires no further inquiry and certainly requires no misguided efforts at being measured, quantified, clearly defined, and simplified for the material man of the liberal mindset, because the material man has no appreciation for quality; for him quality is only that which can be sold in enormous quantities and made into a product or easy to understand concepts – the liberal man had no sense for quality to begin with for his quest was always to tear down that which put the celestial order in balance on Earth.

    Modern man has allowed for the complete degeneration of quality in order to descend down to the level of the beast, for the beast finds no appreciation in the qualities of life, and today only those men that have sought the light and earned their ranks can see the quality in the various aspects of life on Earth, for quality requires profound insight and transcendental knowledge. While quality and quantity can be seen as complementary, it has too often been the case, in the modern world, that quantity should have come to completely replace quality, ultimately leading to the atrophy of quality, the source, and of man himself. In a lot of ways, quality is the transcendence making itself apparent on Earth, and quantity is the beast making himself apparent in the material on Earth, but quality and quantity do complement each other to the extent that the human spirit is not possible without both of them, but in modern times quality is ever less manifest in the human condition.

Tibetan Mandala (मण्डल)

   The essence of quality is the source, but the source is diminishing ever more because of man's obsession with the material in the form of the beast at the center of the material human condition; the warrior has been replaced. Man has committed idolatry in his own image, yet he has severed all connections to the transcendental and his image, even in the material, has lost its high quality: in the form of such things as obesity and other diseases related to the materialist and short term pursuit of the beast, this is no warrior. The warrior spirit has been replaced by the loyal servant of the modern man in love with himself and his ability to rearrange the material domain to fit his short term needs, while his soul has been in a state of atrophy and decay. Degeneration, decay, and death have all replaced the otherwise earthly qualities of duty, honor, and bravery, for there is nothing to be dutiful to in the age of the Kali Yuga and death, but this death shall not last, and there will soon come a time of rebirth, when the qualities of life will shut out the darkness and the celestial order will find itself at the center of the Earth, putting in motion the equal scales of the equity of quality > quantity, and only the noble, far seeing men will be around to witness that time, while the rest will fall into the decay and disappear. Do not let the dilapidation of qualities in the modern world affect your soul, depart the material and seek the light – exit the modern world!
