My views on the formless man – July 9, 2025

In line with the humanist axiom of the liberal world order, man has been stripped of his manly and masculine qualities, for he has been rendered the beast in the formless man of the mass – the inscrutable individual floating aimlessly in the human ocean of individuals lost and disconnected from their ancient ways. The sacred qualities of man, the particles making up his soul, have been removed from his manliness, for the new man in the beast has been imposed on all men and anyone straying away from this lesser form of man is considered the enemy in modern times. Every form and feature that makes man the man, has been striped away and worn down by the malign influence of the call to transform into the beast and indeed in becoming the beast, and in his final form the beast is the formless man, the man driven only by lust and motivated only by the justification of sin, in the name of such things as "peace" and "tolerance", even when this does the opposite, thus the imperial nature of the beast is a prerequisite in his very being. The man without form and feature is the anti-man, the man without history and without a future, for he is lost in the ocean of entropy where no feature shaped by tradition, meaning, and deep time can stand, for every particle in the cosmic soup is completely equal, for they equally make up the fundamental standard unit of the universe, and thus man is nothing but a temporary aberration in this meaningless entropy and anything but the liberation of man from this state is deemed unacceptable and immoral – liberalism is the invariable function of decay not the cause of decay.

    The call to enter onto the transcendental plane was the call to religion and religion in turn was the call to dedication, to self discipline, and to display in yourself those qualities you wanted to project onto society and the human condition in general. Verily, the call to ascend the material was the call to self betterment and in turn the betterment of the world and the condition of all sentient life, it was the call to become enlightened and to leave the troubles of the material condition on Earth behind – to become the nobleman and to operate for the benefit of all life. In the era of the Kali Yuga, the sacred has been attacked and the thin layer of civilization, like veil on top of the sacred, has convinced man of his own ability to replace the creator as the nonpareil and infallible being, on top of the world, and in his state of idolatry modern man has become blinded to his own weakness, namely that of the fallacy of ideas – his self love has blinded him to the decay of the world all around him. The hero and the beast while quite the opposite do also complement each other in a cosmic sense, for the absence of the former has very much enabled the disease like growth of the later, and with him the invariable destruction of the world has been made imminent.

    To acquire form in the modern world, is to walk in complete and open rebellion against the ways of the beast, against lust and sin—it is to embrace purity and enable the soul to gain its potential form, often but not exclusively in the practice of celibacy. Verily, any practice that puts man above the animal is rebellious and against the world order as imposed by the beast, for the beast is sin in its human and material form, and the man that embraces sin also embraces the beast—he transforms into the beast and thus he loses his manly features and becomes one with the enormous multitudes of other beasts in the modern world, he becomes formless. It is harder and harder to come upon real men in the modern world, particularly in the imperial core, and the ones that do exist have either been completely shunned by society, the beastly society, or have been forced to resort to the closet and appear in the form of the beast among other beasts, but these men are not formless because they have allowed their sacred qualities to remain sacred and uncontaminated by the malign influences of the Kali Yuga, these men surely exhort in themselves heroism in a dark time, and any attempt on their part to encourage other people to uphold the celestial order would be a daring task. But the men of ascendant class is the hope of the new era, the era of rebirth and the beast will be defeated, but in the meantime the world will continue to degenerate and fall into disarray, as we approach the close and the final battle of the Kali Yuga. Do not fear this, instead continue to cultivate inside you the sacred qualities of the transcendent and reject the beastly and the profane – embrace purity in the form of celibacy and other means of rejecting sin and lust. The light of the moral will once again reign supreme and the celestial order will vomit out the beast and the land in ruins will turn into a land anchored in the orderly and the moral. The destruction of the beastly will come, but in the meantime choose the pacific route and reject the beastly.
