69. The new Paganism

There have been, are, and will be many religions of power, but perhaps the religion of those who have sunk into matter will ultimately take the palm. Perhaps it is simply because, throughout history, humans have produced more and more material and have increasingly served their own and others' comfort with it. The accumulation of more and more material disconnects the man from their sacred nature and their duty to care for others. The religion of those who have sunk into matter is an irrational activity seeking self-justification, a religion for the mass man, a sort of new paganism. It is a religion that protects matter, comfort, and the comfort zone, pulling humans out of metaphysical existence and turning them into earthly mortals—quality-less masses—who accept that they were made of dust and will return to dust. Semitic linear thinking erases the encoded universal metaphysical consciousness within them, the understanding that they are the image and analogy of the One, who has not only an earthly life but also existence, meaning there is life beyond, which can be called resurrection. The world is not linear, but circular and binary. To understand this, one must go beyond the Semitic decimal system, where one end of the number sequence is zero and the other end is infinity. The world, like the language of computers, is binary. 

The religion of the new paganism declares that you are a small god enclosed in matter, and there is nothing and no one beyond you, except what you can touch with your hands and see with your eyes. You are the centre of the world, and replace the Creator with yourself. You are the linear beginning and end. As the individual self-rules over the universal self, man has disconnected from the One, who embodies the perfect truth, order, and freedom. If a religion requires doctrine, morals, and rituals, then the religious doctrine of the mass man who has sunk into matter is: consume without measure because everything is for you; its morality is: pay for every consumption; its ritual is: believe in the power of the invisible hand—politics, marketing, media, the lending bank—and do not think about living according to the laws of your creation, because there is no life after death. 

Those exercising power present the world to the material man, the masses, as materially natured because this is what they can perceive with their five senses—they can see, hear, smell, touch, and taste. They are led to believe that their self is nothing more than the material body, that their feelings indicate the state of the body, and that their thoughts are simply rational responses of the body (the brain). Similarly, they are taught that the sacred nature can also be grasped, learned, achieved, dissected, and reassembled. The illusion that is mistaken for reality comes from the material delusion. Those who live in this illusion reverse the eternal reality and derive their senses, thoughts, and soul from material nature, whereas the truth, reality, thought, speech, and action stem from the intellect soul. There are two evidence that the material man reverses reality and places the illusion before the true invisible reality: one, that the material world, or the world of objects, can be recognized as an illusion (e.g., through awareness, awakening); and the second, that while the body dies, the prepared soul, the universal self, remains. 

Sinking into matter indeed brings external, material comfort, but it also causes many spiritual illnesses and, worse, spiritual poverty. This materialistic religion, opposing the tradition of the One, is without of spirit, and because it does not speak of the truth of being, it represents a lie. Its purpose is to deceive, manipulate, reprogram the man, overturn order, and assert the opposite of things. This is a world turned upside down, where we claim that the false is true, the ugly is beautiful, the above is below, and the woman is a man—such as in the case of gender theory—and it is difficult to navigate through all these falsehoods. If the emperor has no clothes and is running naked around, we must still praise his beautiful clothes. We constantly experience the manipulation, deception, and the "divide and conquer" principle. 

Those who believe in matter and comfort live in a material dream world, where at least three theses prevail: everything can be obtained with money, it is not important to deal with our soul because life ends here on earth, and there is no resurrection. These three dogmas direct us to one thing: that at the end of the path, there is no need to account the consumption, and humility and love are unnecessary. Thus, man does not freely choose to endure, but instead, out of fear, persists, lies, acts arrogantly, and consumes more than necessary. This chaos gave birth to the materialism of the last century, and to this century’s modern slaveholding, liberal, and democratic society. The worldview that prioritizes matter has its roots in the old scriptures, more precisely, in the literal interpretation and its practical application—such as in the communist experiment of the 20th century, which cost millions of lives. Religions that prioritize matter work according to principles, dogmas, worldviews, and/or ideas of dictators. Their religion products can be called enlightenment, renaissance, materialism, atheism, or perhaps globalism, money power, economic growth, hedonism, or simply exploitation, robbery, or sin. They are all the same. The material man manipulates with abstract, vague concepts—he looks with his eyes, but does not see, he listens with his ears, but does not comprehend.
