43. About you: Chapter 17: The law: divide and conquer

 

Those commands that suggest dividing society, the family, uniformizing them, erasing those who stand out, and glorifying those who dare to separate from their families, possibly singles and transvestites, can easily lead to slavery when we willingly accept it, because we have given up our human dignity and allowed our universal self to be erased. The principle of "divide and conquer" serves the interests of power, aiming to make us forget our universal selves, forget our traditions, and only have an individual self. We are told repeatedly to weaken it, to sow doubt within ourselves and among our peers, to cultivate a desire for materialism and consumption. We are encouraged to devour, to enjoy life, and to pay for overconsumption. If possible, we should rush so quickly do not notice the person beside us or the landscape in which we live. Also do never consider tending to the sacred responsibilities entrusted to us, do not try to quiet our minds, nor should we reflect. Reflection is punishable because it does not generate profit. 

If we want to increase our bank account amount quickly, maximize the profit, and increase the revenue, we do not live in the present, not in proximity to the One and Only, not in silence, but we are fulfilling the commands of the invisible hand, the backstage power. We should understand that development and progress, the maximization of profit, only exist in our minds, only because, in our induced confusion, we lack a reference point, which is universality. We don’t even ask the question: compared to what are we progressing or developing? If we advance in our material state, we are simultaneously distancing ourselves from the One. Let us not forget that the theory of development was formulated by the non-pagan capitalist and communist twins. In their theory, they start from the assumption that the current society is the best, or at least better than the previous one. Industrial progress, technological development are indeed higher in the latter, so-called modern societies than in the previous ones, but the spiritual state is the exact opposite. 

The dogma of law in socialism was that work ennobles, and in the death camps, it was that work sets you free. In both cases, the central element, the essence, was the work. In the capitalist formulation, the profit means, economic efficiency, the accumulation of material, development and progress. We have already mentioned the Nobel Prize-winning slogan "the business of the business is the business," meaning that profit must be generated at all costs, even if we destroy ourselves and the environment. Before the emergence of this slogan, Hungarian folk tales already recognized it long time ago as the "small Gömböc syndrome," when the small Gömböc, i.e., profit, devours everything until it bursts. Speaking of profit, there is a theory which seems to support the idea that the population explosion of the 20th and 21st centuries was intentionally generated because humanity was allowed to breed itself in order to provide cheap labour for capital accumulation. The invisible global hand connected cheap labour with the cultivation of the consumer society. It has been shown that with this increased cheap labour, capital income (profit) grew five times faster than the price of labour (wages). Furthermore, it has been shown that due to the rules of the global market and cheap labour, today the wealth of the wealthiest 85 people is equivalent to the wealth of 3.5 billion people. At the beginning of the 21st century, human overbreeding is no longer necessary; on the contrary, there needs to be thinning, possibly through various diseases, or if that doesn’t work, at least by creating fear, so that people live shorter lives and do not reproduce. 

Material and spiritual development cannot be equally "served" or "developed." Our Initiate Master said: "Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's." We must choose—either material or spiritual. Opposed to the materialistic view is axiology, where the value of society and the individual lies precisely in the existence of transcendent consciousness, in how much the individual can recognize and identify with the One and Only. This is what re-ligion is, i.e., re-connection, which means that after leaving the shared space with the One, we return to the redeemed state. On the spiritual level, we should not be developing, but rather returning, “de-evolving” to the One, maturing, and living according to the One’s love law. The re-paganized person should become Christian again. What we now call the primitive man was the true Christian, the person closest to the One, who knew that if he took something from the created world, he had to return it. That’s why there were the so-called atoning rituals, which later turned into prayers, to conciliate the spirits if they consumed more than they should have. This also means that they understood the concept of measure. In a somewhat chaotic way, this is what is called sustainability today when we try to rediscover the measure that our ancestors knew. Since the modern, ignorant person does not understand the concept of measure, they continue to associate sustainability with development, which, as we know, is a contradiction. We should not be developing, but rather recognizing the meaning and purpose of life: returning to the One and Only. We need to return to the measure, to the old, true human qualities and behaviours. In the framework of the concept of sustainable development, development should be achieved in a sustainable way, which is impossible because development is only possible beyond the measure. If we want to use a correct term, it might be the sustainable coexistence.
