Can anyone explain to me why it's so shocking that nations which have been our biggest ideological enemies are the very nations causing the greatest human suffering at present? The very fact that we have chosen to do business with them is abundant proof of the depths of our own complicity and naivety. Stop with this faux virtue signalling outrage. Since the West chose to get into bed with Beelzebub we ought not to be surprised that our whoring has resulted in creating Satan's spawn.
The locus for the nexus of the Divine encounter exists only at the level of the individual. Social collectivism is a rejection of the spiritual nature of our humanity. Not a single culture has ever evolved which didn't have an ontology to provide individuals with a framework which could give life a higher meaning and purpose. Social collectivism is an expression of the nihilism which is the inevitable consequence of rejecting such an ontological framework. It is an attempt to create, as Nietzsche warned, the Ubermensch, namely the man who would become his own god. And it invariably has led to murderous antihuman tyranny.
On December 1st, 1939, at the Swiss Federal Institute for Technology (ETH) Carl Jung is quoted from his lecture as stating that “we fall captive to the herd animal if we cannot reach the individual Divinity within ourselves”. In this short statement he described the reason for the totalitarian tyranny that was the predominant ideological pathogen of the 20th Century which resulted in the murder and oppression of countless millions around the world. All because mankind rejected his own individuality, sovereign, and spiritual nature. In this he echoed what Nietzsche had asserted “God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it?”
Western authoritarian governments seek to fulfil these sacred games by creating a version of political ideology which rejects the Divine, loathes the individual, and seeks to create some version of future utopia which will be built on the corpses of its citizens and the ruins of the institutions their ideology is corrupting. And there won’t be enough water to wash away the filth of their perversion of constitutionally limited responsible government. This is the very reason that voting cannot solve our ideological crisis. We must become the counter-revolution. This toxic ideology must die under our knives which must be forged by reason and religious passion to place our Christian heritage and values once again in the fore. As Jung asserted the responsibility for this task rests solely on the individual and his or her encounter with the Divine within themselves. Salvation cannot be found in social collectivism because no one is responsible or accountable for our individual sins but each one of us. They must be brought to God and repented of for us to find forgiveness and salvation. It is only by this process that society writ large will be healed because every soul brought into proper relationship with the Divine nexus within will affect healing which will extend beyond ourselves into our family, friends, and fellow citizens.
“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.”: Matthew 5:14-16
