"Experience without theory is blind, but theory without experience is mere intellectual play." — Immanuel Kant

Seek radical experiences and you will eventually see radical truths such as the truths of idealism and pantheism. Those who rarely or never leave the "normal" state will remain blind.

Metaphysics is philosophical thought regarding Transcendence; its entire substance lies in the origins of the transcendent experience, and its seriousness lies in making that experience possible.

2026-05-05T19:11:50Z

There is only one effective solution to the problem of AI, one that Frank Herbert, the author of "Dune", saw clearly: a total ban on this technology and the death penalty for violating that ban. Man shall not be replaced by anything. Humanity’s goal must be the comprehensive development of every man's highest abilities, not their mimicry, replacement, and ultimately enslavement by an algorithmic golem which must be seen as one of the worst sins of our godless, technocratic world, which has lost faith in God and the divine nature of humanity. Alas, this will not come to pass. The Shadow reigns, and humanity, led by its demonic agents, will reach the very bottom on the path of its madness.

Stop overestimating Einstein's mathematics. All mathematical models of "nature" are incomplete and transitory because they struggle to objectify that which projects all phenomenal objects — transcendental intersubjectivity.

The only serious racism that has existed in history is Jewish racism.

I do not know whether the German racists notice that they are imitating the Jews. .... There have always been and are two races in the world, and this division is reckoned more important than all other divisions.

During the 1947-48 war that led to the creation of the State of Israel, a number of massacres, as well as the rape and murder of Palestinian women, were committed by Jewish troops. In addition, between 450 and 500 Palestinian villages were simply wiped out. We know that because of the work of a group of so-called "new historians" — Israelis who challenge traditional views of history. The best known of these is Benny Morris, whose study of the 1948 war is based on extensive archival research of predominantly Jewish sources. As a result of these massacres and rapes, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians fled their homes, often in fear of what might happen to them.

[T]he emptiness that follows Christianity produces a deification of emptiness, a nihilism that seeks the destruction of things, people and reality. Nihilism is the matrix of the new religions. The real new mass religion today is a cult of war.

Roman Catholicism was not Christianity; ... Rome proclaimed Christ subject to the third temptation of the devil. Announcing to all the world that Christ without an earthly kingdom cannot hold his ground upon earth, Catholicism by so doing proclaimed Antichrist and ruined the whole Western world.

Trump could easily end the war in Ukraine by cutting off all aid and sanctioning the criminal Kiev regime and its supporters. Instead, he broke his election promises and chose the path of a proxy war with Russia that leads to WW3. Demon. Russian blood is on his hands.

The denunciation of the evil and sin of war should not be permitted to lead to absolute pacifism, to peace at any price. In the evil condition of our world, war may be the lesser of two evils.

I believe that hope and new insight transcending the narrow limits of the positivistic-mechanistic thinking of social science today are needed, if the West is to emerge alive from this century of trial. Indeed while Western thought from the thirteenth to the nineteenth century (or, perhaps, to be exact, up to the outbreak of the First World War in 1914) was one of hope, a hope rooted in Prophetic and Greek-Roman thought, the last forty years have been years of increasing pessimism and hopelessness. The average person runs for shelter; he tries to escape from freedom and he seeks for security in the lap of the big state and the big corporation. If we are not able to emerge from this hopelessness, we may still go on for a time on the basis of our material strength, but in the long historical perspective the West will be condemned to physical or spiritual extinction.

Hitler and his accomplices, that small minority of tens of thousands, are beyond moral guilt for as long as they do not feel it. They seem incapable of repentance and change. They are what they are. VIOLENCE ALONE CAN DEAL WITH SUCH MEN WHO LIVE BY VIOLENCE ALONE.

2025-06-20T10:34:28Z

Metaphysical guilt is the lack of absolute solidarity with the human being as such—an indelible claim beyond morally meaningful duty. This solidarity is violated by my presence at a wrong or a crime. It is not enough that I cautiously risk my life to prevent it; if it happens, and if I was there, and if I survive where the other is killed, I know from a voice within myself: I am guilty of being still alive.

Hardly many of those who made a nationwide deal with "God" at Mount Sinai realized that the entity they were dealing with was not at all what it appeared to be. The same goes for other agents of otherworldly manipulative will who have rushed to the conclusion that it is "divine" or "angelic" in nature. Unfortunately, confusing Light and Shadow is a human tradition.

Your [American] prominent figures, like George Kennan, say: entering the realm of big politics, we can no longer use moral guides. This is how, by mixing good and evil, right and wrong, the ground is best prepared for the absolute triumph of absolute Evil in the world.

...There are only two types of people in the entire West... To the first type belong hardened idiots who take loud slogans seriously and believe in their "civilizing mission" without even noticing the degree of materialistic barbarism to which they themselves have fallen. To the second type belong insidious scoundrels who take advantage of the general mental degeneration of the majority to indulge their filthy instincts of violence and self-interest.

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.

2025-06-14T07:52:00Z

Sometimes the modern West is called Christian, but this is completely false. Modern consciousness is profoundly anti-Christian because it is essentially anti-religious. And it is anti-religious because it is anti-traditional in the broadest sense of the word.

Between the traditional spirit and the modern spirit there is really no consensus, and every concession in favor of the latter is made at the expense of the former, because in essence, the modern spirit is only the negation of all that the traditional spirit represents.
