„Das Heilige ist, wie wir gesehen haben, das Reale schlechthin, es ist Macht, Wirkungskraft, Quelle des Lebens und der Fruchtbarkeit. Das Verlangen des religiösen Menschen, ein Leben im Heiligen zu führen, ist das Verlangen, in der objektiven Realität zu leben, nicht in der endlosen Relativität subjektiver Erlebnisse gefangen zu bleiben, in einer wirklichen und wirkungskräftigen - und nicht in einer illusorischen - Welt zu stehen. Und diese Sehnsucht findet ihren stärksten Ausdruck in dem Bedürfnis des religiösen Menschen, in einer geheiligten Welt, also in einem heiligen Raum zu leben.“ — Das heilige und das Profane • Mircea Eliade

Iran Now First Line of Defense of BRICS and the Global South „Israel’s shock’n awe on Iran – straight from the trademark US playbook - essentially failed, despite the initial combination of speed, meticulous military planning and the element of surprise, including hacking the Iranian electronic communications within the military grid; decapitation of the vertical IRGC nomenklatura; the spiderweb drone attack playbook; and bombing – ultimately ineffectual – of key nodes of the Iranian nuclear infrastructure. It took hours for top Iranian technicians to get their grid back. And once that happened, the tide began to turn, to the point that after surgical missile volleys deep in the night on Sunday, the IRGC announced its capability to seriously disrupt Israel’s command and control systems using “enhanced intelligence”, thus breaching Iron – or Paper - Dome.“
