H A P PY  N EW   Y EA R   2 0 2 6 ! Ah, so far this year has sucked and since it's over, I guess I'm in the clear: 2025 sucked and perhaps that's because life in general sucks? Well, I don't know, but I do know this: steady as she goes. Indeed, steady as she goes. I have no intentions of changing myself or embracing someone else's truth. Not at all, because I see more clearly than ever now, that only I can forge my own path; only I can carve out my own destiny. Away with all that sentimental crap! I have no great promises to make and I've got no confessions to make, and I think that I too can say that I've got no enemies to curb. Indeed, I am complete in the sense that I am in a position where only I can decide for myself and while this provides me lots of freedom, it makes life that much harder and uncertain. Of course, freedom may be overrated, right? Only if you like daddy to tell you how to live, and indeed that's preferable for a lot of people. But ...

Fire by Marisol Benitez 2026 | Thursday – January 1, 2026 Yes, it's 2026 and I don't have much to add , at least not in the usually cheap and sentimental way that most people do this time of the year. I don't have any fantastical and delusional promises to make, and I don't have any false confessions to make. But I do have this message: steady as she goes. Yes, I intend to keep up my work on this blog and I intend to continue to allow my words to take me on a journey, a spiritual and metaphysical journey, and wherever I end up, I am sure that I will continue to explore new horizons, beyond all that material and mundane. How fantastic it should be that I—here in the profoundly material 21st century, really at the supposed end of history—should long for the days of a more insightful world. Indeed, but many modern men keep making the mistake of assuming that because the world was seemingly less materially advanced in the past, that the world conversely also had to be less ...

Photograph of the Atlas globe New Year's Eve! Wednesday – December 31, 2025 Much like with Christmas , I do not celebrate New Year's Eve (NYE), because this is a fundamentally material event that has nothing to do with celebrating the aspects of life that I regard as important, those including mostly the sacred aspects of the material domain. Of course, apart from being a profane celebration, in most western countries in particular this event is highly associated with much bad and immoral behavior, and really if anything seems to be celebrated above all else it is the socially acceptable occasion to drink . It's not that I don't believe that people celebrating and being happy is bad—I am of course neutral in regards to this behavior—but what does make me genuinely upset, for it violates my good conscience and really the good conscience of the most upstanding men, when people allow themselves to behave completely like animals, and indeed not only do they allow themselves...

Latin translation of Gikatilla's Shaarei Ora ( יוסף בן אברהם ג'יקטיליה ) Knowledge | Tuesday – December 30, 2025 Knowledge can be said to be divided into two categories—on a very low resolution level: the first being intellectual or profane knowledge, and the second being sacred and metaphysical knowledge. While I have no problems criticizing the largesse of the material world, what I refer to as the Material Order , I don't consider material and intellectual knowledge to be bad or immoral in and of themselves, but I do consider their apparent application or misuse to be immoral, something you may read more about here .     I believe that a well rounded and fit man, really a man the seeks true insight, should allow himself to absorb and surely apply both of these aspects of knowledge in his life: indeed without the intellectual curiosity to explore and understand the material domain, there would be no light to sustain his urge to reach beyond the profane, his need really to...

Communist poster by Kacper G Boundaries | Monday – December 29, 2025 As I've covered in this series " Collectivism & Individualism ", there are certain boundaries that define the multitude and always growing political groups in the modern world. Yes, modern men like to talk a great deal about the fantastic nature of multiculturalism , but they never admit that the only thing this ideology has brought forth is more and more imposed awareness about the need to create social boundaries and political objects out of more and more people. Of course, in the past people lived far more simpler lives and they just weren't aware of all of these modern social labels and signals that one is supposed to respect and understand to be considered an upright citizen and really to be allowed into "polite society". But boundaries are important and I can always sense the tension between those who always seek to expand the collective to encompass ever larger bodies of people a...

Yahweh in  (יהוה‎) : Moses and the Burning Bush Thoughts about the new year | Sunday – December 28, 2025 Indeed, the year of our Lord 2025 anno domini is soon over and I have some reflections to share in this post. I believe that 2025 has been a bad year, and this is mostly because of our era, the Kali Yuga. But I believe that bad things prompt good men to seek the light: indeed I believe that the light can only grow more intense in darkness and to that extent I believe that by starting this blog I have contributed to my own insight. Well, allow me to qualify that previous statement: the light can of course grow more intense without darkness but it's surely the case that the light works against the darkness enveloping it. After all what would the purpose of lightness be without darkness; that point would be the final liberation . No, this year has been bad and next year will be worse, but these things are of course to some extent arbitrary. What I mean by this is that we really d...

Photograph of the Atlas globe The Liberal Messiah | Saturday – December 27, 2025 In my note on western intervention , I made it clear why I am profoundly opposed to western colonial wars of aggression and imposition around the world, and if you're interested in understanding my point of view in more detail then you should read that note. As I've also covered on multiple occasions, modern and liberal men tend to take a messianic approach to the world and to their own worldview: the humanist axiom . I like to refer to this phenomena as "The Liberal Messiah" and indeed this is fitting because if there's anything that this crude and animalistic approach to the world focuses on it's the oppression of individual rights  but only to the extent that this rather narrow focus benefits the revolutionary elite, because indeed they, the revolutionary elite, has one important mission, namely to impose themselves and their system, the material order, on the entire world, and...

Cakrasaṃvara ( འཁོར་ལོ་བདེ་མཆོག་ ) 18th-century painting, Technocracy | Friday – December 26, 2025 As the capitalist production base grows ever larger and as the materialist order replaces the natural life in the collective unconscious of society, technocracy becomes more and more ascendant, even if the term democracy is preferred by most proponents of the humanist axiom . Democracy has always been a top down imposed system and as the world approaches a technological singularity democracy will become more and more synonymous and tantamount to technocracy. What then is technocracy? Technocracy is basically a completely material approach to government and this is in keeping with the approximate trajectory of the modern world: the more materially complicated and dependent the world becomes the more these so-called "experts" will assert their influence on society and this means that yes the humanist axiom will be replaced by the post-political paradigm , it's really a necess...

Yahweh in  (יהוה‎) : Moses and the Burning Bush Further thoughts about Christmas | Thursday – December 25, 2025 As I stated in my post from the other day : I do not celebrate Christmas but I am open to the idea of celebrating other holidays that are grounded in sacred traditions, such as the Norse pagan tradition of Yule. This is again because I view Christmas as a materialist holiday void of any really sacred truths, and even more sinister I believe that Christmas which I regard as a European cultural confluence has been hijacked by the revolutionary elite. I did however just want to again clarify that I do not regard the wish or intention to celebrate as immoral or wrong; I do regard the object of celebration to be immoral and degenerate, in this case material pursuits that are completely empty of sacred truths. I do encourage people to celebrate sacred truths and this could be carried out by celebrating such things as Yule or celebrating other holidays. I do believe that there ...

Picture from Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol, 1843 Christmas! Wednesday – December 24, 2025 Do they know it's Christmastime? Well, probably not since most of them were starving to death due to another man made catastrophe in the so-called age of reason . But on a lighter note I am happy to be able to assert that indeed far fewer people are starving in this year of our lord 2025 anno domini. Verily, it's Christmastime and there are many celebrations about, even in some cold, atheist, humanitarian quarters. I gather as well that there are many interesting conflations about the origins of this celebration and tradition going on, the most common being with the old pagan tradition of Scandinavia known as Jul, Jule, or simply Yule. I have no intentions of trying to figure that one out, but I will say this that it's indeed perfectly possible that Jesus of Nazareth was actually born later in the spring, but the Bible never provides a clear birth date, which may be another ...

Photograph of the Atlas globe Crime and metaphysics | Tuesday – December 23, 2025 In my post " How to deal with the insane " I made the claim, the metaphysical and theological claim, that certain criminal behaviors—really certain anti-social behaviors—serve a cosmic purpose and that some people that the state labels "criminal elements" are really cosmic agents whose purpose on Earth it is to remind men of why there's always a need to seek justice : indeed these agents of cosmic disorder should serve as a reminder of our times the Kali Yuga and the willing chaos of modern civilization . To make it clear not everyone that is labeled criminal can be said to be a cosmic agent of disorder and not everyone who isn't can be said to not be agents of cosmic disorder: indeed here I really refer to the most heinous of crimes such as murder, rape, and generally violent acts committed by persons who are clearly emotionally developmentally disturbed, anti-social, but that...

Mockup iPhone 13 by Matteo Vella "Smart" technology | Monday – December 22, 2025 In my latest post about cameras I made the argument that women are more susceptible to the eye of the camera and that this vulnerability is used by corporations and states to spy on them and their male partners, and indeed this is true. But beyond cameras alone there has been a rise of so-called smart technology over the past 20 years, and yes these things do appear to be smart, but upon further exploration it becomes clear that they are smart not for the material benefit of the user but for the material gain of the creator. See, these so-called smart phones, iPhones, iSmarts, etc are used to spy on you and this is so evident that nobody is even attempting to deny this anymore, see my post about the European Union proposed Chat Control measure . Any man that thinks of himself highly should ask why he is allowing this to happen: why am I allowing the state and major corporations to spy on me? Wel...

Yahweh in  (יהוה‎) : Moses and the Burning Bush How to deal with time | Sunday – December 21, 2025 Since time's always running out in the material domain you likely need to learn to develop certain techniques in order to deal with the rapidly and accelerating passage of time, because indeed as you age the passage of time will accelerate, or at least your senses will increasingly lose track of time, which means that this ability to track time and to deal with time becomes more urgent and really acute as you age. This is a problem more so in the material domain than what it used to be, and this stems from the hubris of modern man : when you have been taught to deal with the world in a way that make you ultimately responsible for the particular disposition and circumstances of all material conditions you become forced to increasingly deal with time like a fleeting quality. Of course, from a metaphysical point of view, time doesn't matter, largely because of the divine providence ...
