Never trust your body!

Never trust your body!
Friday – January 23, 2026

In Hindu mythology the concept of Advaita Vedānta (अद्वैत वेदान्त) means "not-two", and from a metaphysical point of view this concept is basically the negation of the material delineation between the self and the world, Atman (आत्मन्); really one could describe this concept as the ontological opposite of the concept of individualism, but describing the Advaita Vedānta in this way is surely not very skillful, but then again, the English language is profoundly void of metaphysical and intellectual depth, and this lack of meaning is by design. Yes, I would even go as far as to describe the English language as a monstrous bastard of linguistic cosmopolitanism; English is inseparable from the cultural chaos that is inherent in this worldview, read multiculturalism. But this post is not about the English language, so allow me to turn back to the subject at hand: why you should not trust your body. Before I do that, allow me to finish my metaphysical inquiry. In the Western world, individualism is the norm, but always individualism in multiplicity—read my "Collectivism & Individualism series"—and this means that there are at least two confusions at hand: the first relates to the humanitarian assertion of "universal" and unanimous individualism; and the second relates to the existential crisis in modernity. The first confusion can be easily understood as merely another function of the quantitative and numerical obsession inherent in the rule by matter, and thus it's not only assumed that the natural state of man is liberal individualism and induction by "reason"; individualism is the only moral framework in which men can relate to the world, severing any connection to the primordial past, thus enabling imperialism and colonization in a messianic and fanatical conviction that the humanist axiom must reign supreme and that every corner of the Earth, day and night, has to submit to this abnormal metaphysical state, in other words a form of metaphysical warfare, or rather lack of knowledge in the form of a continual negation of true intellectualism, for after all man is only an animal and should only be expected to exist on this level and understand the world form the narrowest point of view, that of matter. The second confusion that exists in the modern world is the ongoing existential crisis that this lack of intellectual depth and metaphysical perversion has caused, and the material solution to this problem is always continued division, as if this compartmentalization of the world is supposed to solve anything, and once the individual man becomes completely compartmentalized, he is essentially put into a mental prison, that only few men can break free from; this is what I label the beast in his most advanced from. These two modern confusions are not separate from each other; they are merely expressions of the same thing, namely the material order and the rule by matter. This modern expectation that you are only in life for yourself is surely a very diseased and confused, may I add satanic, thing and it leads men to believe that the only thing that they can trust is their own body and their own materialist intuition, which means that really nothing outside the immediate domain should be considered, unless significant effort has been made to recreate some aspect of the temporal domain in the profane sciences, and this is then taken as "evidence" and "law". Yes, from the point of view of merely grounding men I can understand this attitude, but this approach is nonetheless evil and destructive to the mind, read mental illness.

    Yes, your body will let you down, at least from the materialist point of view: after all you are only an assortment of matter ruled by matter, but the rules of matter are never quite the same as the "rule by matter"; you have to limit your understanding of the world to the claims made by the profane sciences, but you can never expect this to be the final judgement, because the second you lose attention you get sick, you get ill, your body lets you down. Why is this? Well, disease is nothing but the normal course of event in the materialist domain; everything has to be destroyed and disintegrated, as matter is only temporal and tends towards chaos, and from a material point of view this explanation should be satisfactory, you are merely a biological mass, a product of matter, a vector in space heading in the same approximate direction as the universe; your body has no interest in you and you are merely an illusion and a product of the random flux, all of that which profane science fails to understand and will always fail to understand. Thus, you are ruled by the unsettling and ever imminent existential rupture, and nothing more may be said from a materialist point of view – this is it and now you should focus on material division and rearrangement in order to distract yourself. How can you trust your body under these circumstances? How can you trust your body under the circumstances that prevailed before you came into the world? How can you accept the arbitrary nature of yourself, and finally how can you identify with yourself, given the lack of clarity? You can't, because you are not merely a body isolated from the rest of existence – you are a part of the creation and you have always been a part of the creation, this material form of yours is just the latest iteration of your essence. Indeed, you were always here, you were here in deep history, in recent history, during the creation of the Universe, during the creation of the first life form, during the French revolution, during all of humanity, and you will be here in the future – you are inseparable from the universe and once you allow yourself to detach meaning from your body you may take the first step towards sincerely deep contemplation, but in your current state you are diseased and ruled by material confusion and modern hubris. Your body will let you down – as it should. To this fate there is no solution to be found in the material and the temporal, and an attempt to do so would be futile, actually an attempt to do so would inherently be futile since the temporal cannot govern the eternal and the essential – seek the light. Modern reason is nothing but a negation of everything that isn't immediately and materially evident – it is a lack of skill and an imposed lack of skill that can only turn into totalitarianism, but perhaps above all, "reason" is intellectually lazy.
