“Pure immanence without Transcendence remains nothing but deaf existence. ... Transcendence does not enter into a blind soul.” — Karl Jaspers

A heightened spiritual and mystical life is the road to the victory over sin. As the world enters a catastrophic period of division... The external, everyday, moderate Christianity is breaking up. But eternal, inward, mystical Christianity becomes stronger and better established.

There is a reality beyond the material world. We all instinctively know this, yet in the modern mind, anything beyond the material is considered "unscientific" and cast with a wide net.

That wide net denies everything, putting metaphysical discussion on par with discussions about the Easter Bunny or the Tooth Fairy. It's a disingenuous argument and one that any honest person recognizes as flawed. Yet to the midwit mind, it's enough to deny the meta-physical. The beyond that we don't understand very well.

Still, it's hard to live in an existence without anything of the beyond, of the metaphysical. A purely material world is a cold and lonely place. A place of meaninglessness and purposelessness. Yet it's a frame so many people accept readily, much like "scientific consensus" or conventional wisdom.

The reason authorities push a purely material world is because a purely material world means much less justification is necessary for what they are doing. They don't have to answer to any authority beyond their own. They don't have to because in a purely material world, morality is completely subjective.

Ethics is a particularly thorny problem for the materialists. How do you determine whether something is good or evil? To deny that evil exists would be ridiculous on its face. We see it every day and too many people would riot if such a thing were asserted. Even the most compliant sheep would recognize that something is really wrong.

But to assert your own morality! That's the ultimate authority, being able to define good and evil for other people. Indeed, that's the power that authorities now have. To use the wrong pronoun is a grievous evil. As is not getting vaccinated, or not supporting Ukraine, or not supporting unlimited bank bailouts.

It's a subjective morality and it's easily justified in a purely materialist philosophy.

We've been made compliant by the destruction of philosophy.

“As a man who has devoted his whole life to the most clear-headed science, to the study of matter, I can tell you as a result of my research about atoms this much: there is no matter as such.” — Max Planck

“Materialism is false.” — Kurt Gödel

Пребывая в состоянии эйфории от своей победы в холодной войне, Запад проявил высокомерие и упустил исторический шанс — на этом тезисе обычно заканчивается анализ того, что на фоне современных реалий выглядит как непростительная ошибка США и ЕС.

Но только ли в «высокомерии» дело? Или за «высокомерием» скрывались вполне себе прагматичные расчеты? Известный российский эксперт Дмитрий Тренин уверен, что скрывались, — и он даже знает, какие именно.

“The U.S. provoked Russia in Ukraine. But you don’t have to take my word for it. Here is a list of all the times Senior U.S. diplomats, journalists, academics and secretaries of defense spoke on the United State’s involvement in provoking Russia’s attack on Ukraine.”

О благороднорожденный, для тебя наступило то, что называют смертью. Ты покидаешь этот мир, но ты не одинок: смерть приходит ко всем. Не привязывайся к этой жизни — ни из любви к ней, ни по слабости. Даже если слабость вынуждает тебя цепляться за жизнь, у тебя не достанет сил, чтобы остаться здесь, и ты не обретешь ничего, кроме блужданий в сансаре. Не привязывайся к этому миру; не поддавайся слабости.

The truth you won't read in Western MSM:

Maligned in Western Media, Donbass Forces are Defending their Future from Ukrainian Shelling and Fascism.

https://covertactionmagazine.com/2022/11/19/maligned-in-western-media-donbass-forces-are-defending-their-future-from-ukrainian-shelling-and-fascism/

The kid misbehaved, we're taking back all the presents.

It was easy to prevent the conflict by complying with the Minsk agreements and by guaranteeing Ukraine’s neutrality. They refused. It was easy to stop the conflict by accepting the independence of Donbass and the already happened re-unification of Crimea with Russia. They refused. They wanted to push Russia to its limits in the hope that we will back off and then suffer everything we suffered after the defeat in Afghanistan until Russia collapses just like the USSR did. They failed to see that Ukraine is no Afghanistan, this time we are fighting the evil of American imperialism and Ukrainian Nazism on Russian historic lands (randomly attached to Ukraine by the Bolsheviks) populated by ethnic Russians. We will not stop until we defeat the evil and liberate our people. But you can continue believing Russophobic propaganda and supporting Nazi Ukraine. The question is where your blindness, arrogance and stupidity will bring you eventually.

Unless Westerners realize that they are responsible for what their evil elites are doing in Ukraine and are morally obligated to stop them, soon they'll find themselves in the midst of a nuclear war they failed to prevent. Stop tweeting, go outside, protest, beat the shit out of the demons.

Without seeing the truth of transcendental phenomenology, which is ultimately the truth of ontological idealism, we will never see what the body really is — a noematic (phenomena+meanings) self-representation of transcendental subject.

Demons are among us, but we are too blind to see them.

We have defeated Nazism once, and we will defeat it again no matter how much it is supported by the evil US-NATO empire. For God is with us.
