During the Cuban Missile Crisis everyone knew the world was on the brink of WW3, the fear of nuclear war prevented the end of the world. Now we are on the brink of WW3 again, but few people seem to care, there is no fear of nuclear war. These are the perfect conditions for the Catastrophe.
"Naïveté is the rebellion of the originally natural sincerity of mankind against the art of pretending that has become second nature." — Immanuel Kant
It is true that historically Russians are very open and naïve, and our enemies abuse our openness and naïveté. They think they benefit from that, but that’s pure shortsightedness.
The West has betrayed and lost Russia, and they already begin to enjoy the karmic response. The worst is yet to come.
The West-Russia conflict is much deeper than it seems—it is the conflict between the godless anti-traditional civilization, in which the features of the Antichrist civilization are becoming more and more clearly visible, and the civilization of the faithful of all denominations.
To be anti-modern is to undertake the only effort capable of success to save the West from its own degeneration.
— René Guénon
The average person, while he thinks he is awake, actually is half asleep.

Undoubtedly, the Orthodox Church has preserved much more than the Catholic Church; in particular, it has preserved to the present day a genuine initiatory transmission in the form of Hesychasm, which seems to be directly linked to the Desert Fathers.
— René Guénon
Transcendence of all religions, including Buddhism, is the same Transcendence. The mystical (transpersonal) experience of Transcendence — the experience of the transcendent Light — is the same experience. Only the conceptual objectifications of that experience — the stories we tell each other about Transcendence — differ.
From the point of view of philosophical faith, every religion is a symbol of faith in Transcendence, not an objective knowledge about Transcendence, which transcends the subject-object dichotomy, and therefore cannot be objectified, no statement about it can be considered an objective knowledge. Only faith and mystical experience of the Light are possible about Transcendence.
Philosophical faith is the bridge of mutual understanding between all religions.
Atheism is a mental illness, for to deny Transcendence means to deny the nature of one's existence and the existence of the world — the nature of transcendental subject and phenomenal objects.
The constant decrease in the number of believers and increase in the number of atheists in the modern world speaks of the terminal stage of development of our civilization.
Kali Yuga.
On the way from the Renaissance to our days we have enriched our experience, but we have lost the concept of a Supreme Complete Entity which used to restrain our passions and our irresponsibility.
— Solzhenitsyn, 1978
After reading the Old Testament, I am not surprised by Israeli brutality, it is all in their book that inspires them.
No one ever proposed evil ends: evil is always disguised as good, and detracts from the good.
— Nikolai Berdyaev
Watching the opening of the Paris Olympics: René Guénon was right, this is Kali Yuga. Literally. The West is hijacked by satanists. It's undeniable. That's why they hate Russia so much: we are an island of sanity on the way of their insanity striving for globalization. We must stop them at all costs
A normal civilization ... can always develop without posing any danger to other civilizations; aware of the exact place it must occupy in the whole ensemble of earthly humanity, it will adhere to it and create no antagonism, because it will have no claim to hegemony...
— René Guénon
Assuming that we have any descendants, they are likely to view us as we do the European elites before 1914: trapped by their inherited culture and institutions, they pursued policies that seemed rational to them, but in retrospect look completely insane.

...According to all ... traditional doctrines we have entered the last, final stage of Kali-yuga, the darkest period of this "dark age", the epoch of dissolution, from which it is possible to come out only through a terrible cataclysm.
— René Guénon
Humanism was the first form of what has subsequently become contemporary secularism; and, owing to its desire to reduce everything to the measure of man as an end in himself, modern civilization has sunk stage by stage until it has reached the level of the lowest elements in man and aims at little more than satisfying the needs inherent in the material side of his nature, an aim that is in any case quite illusory since it constantly creates more artificial needs than it can satisfy.
— René Guénon
Power attracts pathological personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it is magnetic to the corruptible. Such people have a tendency to become drunk on violence, a condition to which they are quickly addicted.
— Frank Herbert
Today ... it is the defense of the West that is more often spoken of, and this is strange indeed, since ... it is the West, in the maelstrom of its own chaotic activity, that threatens to drag all of humanity into the abyss. ... Indeed, the West feels the need for protection, but only protection from itself and from its own tendencies, which, if carried to their logical conclusion, will inevitably lead it to destruction and death.
— René Guénon
...If the West were to return to its own tradition in one way or another, its opposition to the East would be immediately eliminated by this very fact, since the roots of this opposition are to be found only in the perversion of the West, and it itself is reduced only to the logical opposition of the traditional and anti-traditional worldviews. Therefore, contrary to some of the above opinions, the first result of a return to tradition should be an immediate restoration of mutual understanding with the East, as it always should be in the case of civilizations based on similar or identical principles.
— René Guénon
History teaches that demons understand only the language of violence. The demons running the US-NATO empire are no exception.
