My views on society – June 23, 2025

The societal fabric is the canvass of the human story, it is the product of destiny and of the sanguine flow of providence, and as such society is the central feature of the human context or the human condition really – without society there is no human story to tell and there is no humanity to be a part of. Fate has ordained that any given society should be shaped by its own particular and parochial peculiarities, based on the material circumstances of the region that the given society came out of, and as such the source—or the transcendent values as manifest in the world, or as they make themselves apparent in that particular society—becomes salient at different points across different societies, but they all converge around the source and the all – this is the essence of the parochial and the particular and these qualities shape the fabric of society and they also enable each individual to become a part of that society. Society has been shaped by the forces of time and hardship and the traditions that come out of society are all based on man's strive to come nearer to the transcendental and to put the scales of the celestial order into balance, for mankind cannot survive in what the liberal man imagines as the completely liberated state, away from the moral constraints of the celestial order, and in this regard society acts as the bridge between the higher order and the material world – society puts the moral and the righteous into action and shapes the material by celestial decree. In this regard society therefore becomes sovereign and can claim to act on part of the ascendant and this is why any society needs rulers that are governed by the conviction in the ascendant and their own ability to transcend the material and forgo the dastardly ways of the beast.

    In modern times however, there is nothing moral to ascend to, because modern man regards his transformation into the beast as the highest state of man and thus he has granted himself the right to act on behalf of the cosmos and the transcendence, for modern man only considers the invariable material constraints that come about with his claims on and against the world to be the true source of the sovereign and thus he has made the justification for democracy and egalitarianism the only valid justification to rule, which is the only thing that the revolutionary elite needs when they make their grand claims about the nation and the individual man as the standard unit of man. Away with the aristocracy and the noblemen! Such are the ways of the rule of the bourgeois intelligentsia. The beast in his many forms is the only way for man to act and interact with the world, for man only exists in the moment and in the material and he may only be governed by his so-called reason, always steering his mind towards the ideological and the willing chaos of the modern world – to be ruled by large numbers is modern man's logos, the reign of quantities.

    The beastly collective of complete degeneration, derived from the sin and the lust has replaced society and all the previous societal norms derived from the celestial order – this is a sign of the Kali Yuga and as we enter the final phase of this era the decay of the world will be made more and more apparent. The world is being conquered by the beast and he has almost conquered the whole world, but in the end he will not win, for the forces of good derived from the moral order of the cosmos will not bend to the will of the beast. Idolatry will not serve the beast in the end for he will destroy the grounds for his own justification, and his society, the beastly society of the modern world, is not the true society, but the true society does remain, not in plain sight but hidden all around us, and it will resist and stand up against the wicked ways of the beastly collective, driven only by hedonism and self pleasure, all at the expense of quality. I will however, always continue to say the same: seek the light and walk towards it in great fortitude and be stalwart in your effort for this will acquire you true skillful means here on Earth; and always traverse the material with the full knowledge of the pure and the sacred.

    The case, the basket case indeed, of modern man is that of the so-called "natural" man, completely in awe of his own image (idolatry), without sense for the sacred and the holy, and this will not and has never served him well, and now he finds himself on the high seas, without a compass or way to dry land – the close of the Kali Yuga is upon us and modern man is beyond the pale and rescue. The serpent's nest, the western world, will fall and it will be conquered by the righteous and hidden army, made up of true warriors, fighting for the descent down to the Earth of the moral law – do not resist this onslaught. Embrace purity and the source – become one with the all.
