My views on temptations and sin – June 7, 2025

In the world, there are certain qualities that remain absolute – these qualities have ascended the material world, or rather, they enable man to ascend the material world and stand independently in perpetuity above the Earth, in one with the source on the transcendent plane. The moral domain, the orderly quality of the universe, remains static, in an otherwise chaotic and seemingly arbitrary existence. This is the essence of the moral and the transcendent plain, and this is also the ideal in line with the logos of the Bible, as something that can be viewed as a call to depart the material world, and enter into the transcendent and see the light of the source. Right and wrong remains above the beastly mentalities of man, and they may not be altered, for short term gains and materialistic comfort; the tendency of the sinful and the material temptation of man to alter this sacred quality of the universe is the driving force behind mans decay and the downfall of men to the level of beasts, particularly in modernity – it is the original sin manifest today.

    In modern times, men no longer strive to ascend above the material, instead men strive to free themselves from the moral boundaries of the universe, always for more material comforts, and always driven by the beastly and animalistic instincts of man as merly the animal, with the only intention in mind to embrace the hedonism of the idol of man himself – this is the essence of humanism as well, to impose the ideal of the "natural" man of the beast on the world. It seems that at every turn, the sin and the temptation is either being embraced, or excused, always in the name of compassion or because it requires sacrifice to remain pure and righteous, thus morality itself has been made subject to change in an ever more promiscuous manner, to enable the beastly man and to justify his assault on the sacred qualities of life – this is the way of the degenerate man, departing ever further away from the source and the moral order.

    Progress(ivism) as a political ideology is therefore: the imposition of animal nature and sin on man, the degradation of purity to the level of the beast, and the justification for the contamination of morality in the name of materialistic lust and temptation – such is the nature of progress(ivism). But as humanity and the world spirals towards the armageddon, the destruction of the world, I call on any far seeing man to embrace the close of the Kali Yuga and strive for the dawn of a new era – void of sin and of hedonistic materialism. Further, the concept of politics, something I will cover in more detail at another time, is the attempt by man to define the appropriate boundaries of morality, completely without regard for the sacred, something that has enabled the acceleration of the decay and downfall of man, in the form of the nation-state. By rejecting the sacred moral boundaries of the universe, modern man has made the choice to transform into the beast, and to become one with the material, something that represents the further descent from the pure. Disease, decay, and death is the essence of the Kali Yuga, and the ever degenerate nature of man, as he transforms into the beast, should stand as a testament to the times – the signs are clearer than ever.

    Temptation and sin has been made man's highest goal, as he achieves the state of chaos, willing chaos, in his departure from the source and everything pure and sacred. Idolatry, in the image of man himself, will be the downfall of man, as the moral order collapses all around him – but righteous men will be back.
