Humanity cannot be saved without a renaissance of faith in Transcendence and without a renaissance of ontological idealism — the truth that divine Consciousness is all there is. But such a renaissance is impossible without the resumption of the Eleusinian Mysteries in a new form. The transformative experience of divine Transcendence must be made available again to all human beings. This is the only cure for humanity's darkest spiritual state. This is the only way to save humanity from catastrophe. No philosophy can do this alone.

In the history of mankind, it has happened many times that from the most natural impulses of people then suddenly unnatural monsters grew.

[W]herever power does not limit itself, there exists violence and terror, and in the end the destruction of life and soul.

The West is completely discredited by its support of Nazi Ukraine and Zionist Israel.
In days of war, we tend to forget that we all are ultimately One, brothers and sisters in God experiencing itself in an infinite variety of empirical forms of individual existence and intersubjectively projected phenomenal worlds. We are at war with ourselves and thus with God. Forgive us, Father, for we are mad.

"[Man’s] existence in the spatiotemporally pregiven world [is] the self-objectification of transcendental subjectivity." — Edmund Husserl
Would we harm each other and other sentient beings if we could always be aware of the supreme truth that all humans and animals as empirical subjects are phenomenal self-representations of ontologically identical transcendental subjects rooted in divine Transcendence — brothers and sisters in God?

"Violence is not necessary to destroy a civilization. Each civilization dies from indifference toward the unique values which created it." ― Nicolás Gómez Dávila
Faith in Transcendence is the most fundamental value at the foundation of Western civilization since the Axial Age (500 BC). In the XIX century Nietzsche proclaimed that faith in Transcendence is dead, and the horrors of the XX century proved him right.
What comes next?

"Heroic surrender … is true in the self-destruction of a martyr. There is dignity in this will to be destroyed. It realizes the absolute dedication of a mundanely indifferent life to the transcendent truth grasped in that life." — Karl Jaspers
Christ showed what happens when you don't resist evil with violence — you are crucified by this infernal world. This non-violent path is impossible for a society, it is only possible for an individual who is ready to become a martyr for his faith in Transcendence. To each his own path.
"The Sermon on the Mount should be a mandatory requirement, but following that requirement will lead to the destruction of all. The respectful consistency in following the commandments of faith is visibly revealed to us in the martyrs and saints as something that cannot be in this world, except as its end. This is why theology becomes a work of composing compromises, reinterpretations, twists, to cover up the conflict between the requirements recognized, given in revelation, and one's own conduct not even approaching those requirements, and to make possible existence as duration and peace. Independent philosophizing appeals to honesty in order to either resolutely follow, or resolutely not follow the commandments." — Karl Jaspers
"To abstain from violence toward the violent is to become their accomplice." — Maurice Merleau-Ponty
"The only salvation is a world order based on the rule of law and possessing the power to preserve peace, by meeting every act of violence with superior force that robs it of all chance of success, and by punishing it as a crime." — Karl Jaspers
Don't believe those who are saying that the attack on #Israel by #Hamas and other forces of Palestinian resistance came by surprise. Just as in the case of 9/11 in the US, Israeli neocons wanted to be attacked to go forward with the final solution of the Palestinian question. Demons.

Sometimes a work of art expresses the deepest and most sacred truth in a way that no philosophy can do, but still, in order to see this truth, one must first perceive it from philosophy or from one's own mystical/transpersonal experience of Transcendence.
"Subjectivity is what it is—an ego functioning constitutively—only within intersubjectivity." — Edmund Husserl
Why? Because all transcendental subjects are rooted in one divine Transcendence — transcendent consciousness-in-itself, the nondual Light of mystical/transpersonal experiences. We are ultimately One — God. Hence, intersubjectivity has a higher ontological status than pure subjectivity. Alone I am nothing. Therefore, personal karma and collective karma — the cause-effect streams of subjective and intersubjective experiences — are one karma in which the personal is inseparable from the collective, and the present is inseparable from the past.

Every collective volition creates collective karma. If you betray Transcendence by obeying the Shadow (even if you don't realize what it is), if you commit genocide, if you kill the Teacher of brotherly love, etc., be ready to reap collectively in the future the bad karma you collectively sow now. Justice.
Hardly any of those who made a nationwide deal with “God” on Mount Sinai realized that the counterparty was not at all what it seemed. The same happened to other conductors of the “otherworldly” manipulative “will”, who hastened to conclude about its “divine” or “angelic” nature.
When you read in the Bible about how the ancient Jews got their "promised land," you will be horrified by the genocide they committed against the tribes who lived there before the Jews came from Egypt crushing and killing. What they have been doing in #Palestine since 1948 is their ancient genocidal tradition.

The ideas of the ruling class are in every epoch the ruling ideas, i.e. the class which is the ruling material force of society, is at the same time its ruling intellectual force. The class which has the means of material production at its disposal, has control at the same time over the means of mental production, so that thereby, generally speaking, the ideas of those who lack the means of mental production are subject to it. The ruling ideas are nothing more than the ideal expression of the dominant material relationships, the dominant material relationships grasped as ideas.
— Karl Marx
The problem of demonism is the central problem in Huxley's last and most important book — "Island". The inability of the sane society to deal with demonism of only one man brings the society down. The apocalyptic finale of the book is the message to humanity: if you don't find a way to stop your demons, they will take you to hell.
Killing demons is an easy solution in the short term, but it doesn't solve the problem in the long term, because demons will bring their bad karma back into this world in their future incarnations. We must change the world in such a way that demonism cannot triumph in principle. If we fail, the world will end one way or another.
In place of the old bourgeois society, with its classes and class antagonisms, we shall have an association in which the free development of each is the condition for the free development of all.

Well-schooled people are irrelevant. They can sell film and razor blades, push paper and talk on telephones, or sit mindlessly before a flickering computer terminal, but as human beings they are useless. Useless to others and useless to themselves.”
— John Taylor Gatto
The poor, by thinking unceasingly of money, reach the point of losing the spiritual advantages of non-possession, thereby sinking as low as the rich.
— Emil Cioran
The heart is the dwelling place of God; or, in another terminology, the heart is the mirror in which God reflects Himself. But this mirror must be polished by constant asceticism and constant acts of loving submission until all dust and rust have disappeared from its surface, and only then will it be able to reflect the eternal divine Light.
