NATO is a subterfuge. It’s a machine to disguise the stranglehold of America over Europe. Thanks to NATO, Europe is placed under the dependence of the U.S. without seeming to be.

After the US-backed/organized far-right coup in 2014 Ukraine never intended to stay neutral, it even changed its constitution to cement its NATO aspirations.

NATO’s existence became justified by the need to manage threats provoked by its enlargement. ... It is the West that is whipping itself into a war frenzy. Instead, western powers should recognise that neutrality — not NATO membership, as was promised to Ukraine in 2008 — is the only feasible option for a divided Ukrainian people.

“My country, the U.S., is unrecognisable. I’m not sure who runs the country. I do not believe it is the president.”, says Jeffrey Sachs in a speech at a Saving Humanity and Planet Earth (SHAPE) seminar, Melbourne, Australia. “U.S. actions are putting us on a path to war with China in the same way that U.S. actions did in Ukraine.”

– Когда-то человечество изобретало машины – в надежде, что они сделают людей свободными. Но это лишь позволило одним людям закабалить других с помощью этих самых машин…
– «Да не построишь машины, наделенной подобием разума людского», – процитировал Пол.
– Верно, так заповедовано со времен Великого Джихада. Так записана эта заповедь в Экуменической Библии. Но только не так бы надо записать ее, а по-иному: «Да не построишь машины, наделенной подобием разума человеческого».

If Russia falls, China will be next, and then there will be no one to stop the globalization of the evil US-NATO empire, leading to a global dictatorship. Unfortunately, India doesn't seem to oppose this because of its Sinophobia and historical subservience to the Anglo-Saxons. The future of humanity depends on Russia and China.

Once a dictatorship has been set up it cannot be got rid of again from within: Germany and Italy were set free from without. All attempts from within came to grief. This might be a coincidence. But if we call to mind the way in which a terrorist régime operates with the means of total planning and bureaucracy, it becomes evident how fundamentally insurmountable is the machine that maintains itself almost automatically, and in which everything that appears to oppose it from within is obliterated. The means of modern technology give the de facto ruler a tremendous preponderance of power, if he makes ruthless use of all the means at his disposal. There is just as little chance of overthrowing such a régime as there is of the inmates of a penitentiary overthrowing the governor and his staff. The machine reaches the peak of impregnability when the terror includes all, in such a manner that those who do not wish it become terrorised terrorists, killing in order not to be killed themselves. Hitherto such despotic terrorist régimes were local. Thus they could be annihilated from without, if not from within. If, however, the peoples should fail to absorb this into their consciousness and into their concern for the future, if they should all slip unawares into such a dictatorship in the shape of a world dictatorship, there would be no further prospect of liberation. The danger of this state of affairs coming about is all the more acute when people feel safe from it, and suppose, for example, that only the servile Germans could find themselves in such a situation. If the same fate befalls the rest of the world, there will be no more outside. The rigidification of the whole in total planning, stabilised by terror, would annihilate liberty and mean the road to increasing ruin for all.
— Karl Jaspers
He says that Mohammed warned against allying with infidels because in their (our) civilization there is no unity and loyalty. Will at least the threat of global dictatorship unite us against a common enemy—the evil US-NATO empire, the civilization of the coming Antichrist? It's time to recognize the threat.

When [transcendent consciousness-in-itself (tathāgatagarbha)] is impregnated by the habit-energy of beginningless fabrications, it is known as [transcendental] consciousness (ālayavijñāna) and gives birth to ... [phenomenal] consciousness. It is like the ocean whose waves rise without cease.

“This world flows on without beginning.” — Vasubandhu
The problem with the idea of the absolute beginning is causality: nothing happens without a cause, and for every cause there must be a cause, and so on into the infinity of time; causality and temporality are inseparable; the absolute beginning seems impossible. However, causality and temporality do not exclude the possibility of supracausality and supratemporality of Transcendence, which we, constrained by causality and temporality, cannot in principle imagine. Thus, the infinite and eternal universe of transcendental subjects and intersubjectively constituted/projected phenomenal worlds (e.g., this particular world) could be created in a mysterious way: instead of philosophically struggling with the unthinkable absolute beginning of our individual existence (the stream of successive states of consciousness), we can think of all discrete states of consciousness — all "moments of time" — as of the eternal act of creation. So if there is a beginning, it is now. Right now. Forever now.
"Buddhist temporal cosmology describes how the universe comes into being and is dissolved. Like other Indian cosmologies, it assumes an infinite span of time and is cyclical. This does not mean that the same events occur in identical form with each cycle, but merely that, as with the cycles of day and night or summer and winter, certain natural events occur over and over to give some structure to time." — Wikipedia

In its original form, an expanding Einstein model had an attractive, economic elegance. Alas it has since run into serious difficulties which have been cured only by sticking on some ugly bandages: “Inflation” to cover horizon and flatness problems; overwhelming amounts of “Dark Matter” to provide internal structure; and “Dark Energy”, whatever that might be, to explain the apparently recent acceleration. A sceptic is entitled to feel that a negative Significance, after so much time, effort and trimming, is nothing more than would expect of a folk-tale constantly re-edited to fit inconvenient new observations.

The only God's will in time is freewill and conscience. The only God's mercy/wrath in time is karma. To each his own.
Illusions of earthly happiness no longer have any power over us. The sense of evil should become stronger and sharper in the new Middle Ages. The power of evil will increase, take new forms and cause new suffering. But man is given the freedom of the spirit, the freedom to choose the path.

BREAKING: The past five days are now the hottest ever recorded in terms of global temperature.
Who is going to feed the West when its crops get badly affected by the global heating? Russia, for our agricultural sector is the sole beneficiary of the climate change. It's not surprising that the US-NATO empire wants to crush our resistance to its globalization and grab our lands & resources together with the lands & resources of Ukraine.

#Ukraine Timeline Tells the Story
Without historical context, buried by corporate media, it’s impossible to understand Ukraine. Historians will tell the story. But the Establishment hits back at journalists, like at CN, who try to tell it now.

Husserl's problem was that although he saw the transcendental dimension of consciousness (aka ālayavijñāna in Yogācāra Buddhism), he was blind to its transcendent dimension (aka vijñānamātratva, nirvāṇa, śūnyatā, tathātā, tathāgatagarbha, dharmakāya, dharmadhātu, etc. in Yogācāra Buddhism) — transcendent consciousness-in-itself, the non-dichotomic Light of mystical/transpersonal experiences — whose "universal wavefunction" (a mathematical description of infinite potential) is "collapsed" by transcendental (inter)subjectivity down to the stream of particular states (hence mathematical "quantum states") of phenomenal consciousness/objectivity. Thus, although Husserl saw the truth of transcendental idealism, he was blind to the truth of ontological idealism — the truth that Consciousness is all there is.
