What is selfishness? | July 29, 2025

Selfishness is often portrayed as the man only concerned with himself—the man that stands in no regard to other men and/or to society at large, the man that is navel-gazing—and while this description of selfishness represents a form of selfishness I hold that it is important to try to understand what selfishness actually is and the many forms that it takes and how being human has destined man for a life of selfishness, regardless of his actions in the material world. Verily, in modern times men are completely self obsessed for they have been thought and encouraged by the liberal paradigm, the humanist axiom, to idolize themselves and other men, for modern man has lost his cause and his reason for contemplation and action, moving towards the light, because to him only the immediate and the short term, invariably at the expense of the sacred and the honorable, has taken up his imagination and he has become convinced that the adventure to seek is firmly within the material world of the material world, civilization, and thus modern man has been disconnected and deprived of his love for nature and the unknown. To act and operate for the benefit of the all, the Bodhicitta, means to allow for the your own and personal benefit to also benefit those around you, which includes all sentient life and extends far beyond mere relationships with other men, and in the sense that operating for the benefit of the all is to uphold the celestial order and the pure indeed a selfish act, which is why I do not consider selfishness in and of itself to be immoral, at least not as long as selfishness can help man to gain and acquire skillful means, for every act in the material sense is an act that is selfish. Even the act of helping someone in need is selfish for that act allows the man that helps to indulge in self idolization. Selfishness is immoral whenever man exists in a system that would actively deprive other men of material status and benefit if one man where to gain such status and benefit, and indeed that is very much the case in the material world, and explains why the soul of modern man has become so diseased and depraved, for in modern times the virtue of selfishness for the personal gain at the expense of other sentient life is being extolled and celebrated as man's righteous freedom to impose himself on those beings that do not consent to his ways, which can be interpreted as the primordial reason for imperialism, that is to say might is right for mighty men. Verily too, liberalism in its most advanced and vanguard form is nothing but unhindered material freedom for the imperialist, the man who may claim the largest purse, and inherit in that enterprise is the invariable imposition of unjust force and coercion on other men and other sentient life that did not and do not consent to being ruled by the beast, and as such the beastly disease and condition is being spread and proliferated to other men, while the forces of the wrath moves against man for he is increasingly out of order with the intentions of Yahweh.

    The natural response to this ever growing hedonistic love for the entropy is for the liberal man to conjure up enormous and fantastical ideas about the nature of society and how society should operate for the benefit of some parts of society, and these ideas are the primordial particles of politics, ideologies, and increasingly they have replaced the sacred and the traditional both institutionally and on a profoundly personal and spiritual level: men are not operating for and by the sacred, in harmony with nature; men are operating for themselves under the societal rubric of the great utopia, the final solution to the human condition. Selfishness has been made unbearable in the Darwinian illusion of the "survival of the fittest" and man's heart and soul has become hard and unforgiving, while his respect and admiration for nature has been rendered completely void in his pursuit of industrial victory over nature. Selfishness is not a virtue nor is it a sin if selfishness can coexist with the intention to work for the betterment of the all. To provide an example of selfishness in the material domain: human beings are created as depraved and diseased beings and if not for man's pact with the serpent all human life on this planet, the Earth, would have been wiped out a long time ago and just as well, for man is a fundamentally sick and depraved being, and as such man is a creature not able to act out of selflessness, yet he continues to yearn for the selfless act as the highest and most compassionate form of being. Verily, selflessness is the most compassionate form of being, but mortal men are not capable of this act; only the man who has earned the noble rank can be said to be capable of complete selflessness. In my personal opinion, selfishness is undesirable, but a necessary step towards the close of the Kali Yuga and the defeat of the beast, and this should and could take the form of Radical Peace. I believe in retreating from the material world.

    In the imperial core, the worship of the cult of selfishness is intensifying and this is a good thing, for this will provide the staging grounds for the coming cosmic warfare between the forces of good and evil, and the forces of evil, the men that embraces the beast, will be defeated for they will defeat themselves, and in the meantime I call on all far seeing men to embrace celibacy and to retreat from the world. Indeed retire from this dope filled world! As long as you remain in the world you will never be able to not act out of selfishness and if you do intend to remain in the world they you have two options: either you act out of pure selfishness in the moment, in an attempt to defend your honor against the depravities of the modern world; or you transform into the beast in material form only, which is a subject I intend to cover at another time. As we approach the close of the Kali Yuga another thing will also become apparent: the men of the willing chaos, the men that have embraces the beastly agenda with open arms, will be the one's first to suffer the dire consequences of their actions, and this is just as well, for the people that will feel the wrath have been cosmically ordained to be struck down by the righteous and the pure. I don't believe that there's any hope for humanity and most men in this the latest reiteration, but do not fear this for the celestial order is ordained to put the world back into proper order and in order to preserve sacred and essential wisdom's into the new era of rebirth I call on all far-seeing men to reject the allure of politics and embrace the selfless act of anti-politics, for the serpent is attempting to manipulate you into embracing the destruction of your character, and such is the final and inevitable destination of the game of politics – the beast in his final and most advanced from. Depart, I say, the material world!
