Mind is by its very nature a singulare tantum. I should say: the over-all number of minds is just one. I venture to call it indestructible since it has a peculiar timetable, namely mind is always now. There is really no before and after for mind. — Erwin Schrödinger

Time

“Time is the life of the soul in a certain motion, namely, in passing from one state to another.” — Plotinus

The very people and institutions that are supposedly dedicated to waking us up are doing exactly the opposite. They are lulling us into a more comfortable sleep. — Jed McKenna

Only illusory unity is possible on the ground of evil. — Karl Jaspers

When others asked the truth of me, I was convinced it was not the truth they wanted, but an illusion they could bear to live with. — Anaïs Nin

Or have you forgotten that peace of mind and even death are more precious to man than freedom of choice in the knowledge of good and evil? — Dostoevsky https://misharogov.medium.com/good-and-evil-1730e2b59b45

“Люди находятся в аду не потому, что Бог разгневан на них; они находятся в гневе и тьме потому, что они поступили со Светом, который бесконечно исходит от Бога, так же, как человек, который выколол себе глаза, поступил со светом солнца.” — Уильям Лоу Лишив себя Элевсийских Мистерий и других великих традиций непосредственного мистического/трансперсонального опыта Трансценденции, человечество выкололо себе глаза.

К сожалению, человечество сделало технику своей главной ценностью, отправив духовные ценности — прежде всего, веру в Трансценденцию и связанную с ней братскую (не только между людьми, но и между людьми и всеми живыми существами на этой планете) этику — на периферию своей культуры, а местами и вовсе в небытие. Внимательному наблюдателю, способному прочертить линии существующих трендов в будущее, должно быть очевидно, что у технократического пути развития нашей цивилизации есть только два возможных исхода: гибель цивилизации или гибель свободы, а вместе с ней всего подлинно человеческого в общемировой диктатуре искусственного интеллекта. Крайне маловероятно, хотя и не совсем невероятно, что человечество в последний момент откажется от технократического пути и выберет путь духовного развития, настолько радикальный перелом может произойти только вследствие радикального опыта, только вследствие появления аналога Элевсийских Мистерий, уничтоженных Римской империей — только если мистический/трансперсональный опыт Трансценденции станет вновь доступен каждому человеку, и в каждом человеке произойдет вызванный этим опытом переворот мировоззрения. Без этого переворота выбор будущего человечества сведется к выбору между ужасным концом и ужасом без конца.

Nothing is permanent except That which is nontemporal. All intersubjective worlds are born to die just to be born again in the infinity of beginningless time. Our nightmare will end one day. Don’t waste your time, learn from it as much as you can. Bad trips are beneficial.

All the "holy wars" of the past were but portents of the coming Jihad — the holy war of the faithful against the civilization of the Antichrist.

It's no coincidence that the demons in Huxley's "Island" are sexual perverts. Huxley clearly saw sexual perversions as a symptom of demonism with its law "do what you want" instead of the law "do what is due" of freedom self-constrained by conscience. When there is no God, truth and conscience are relative, everything is permissible. The triumph of sexual and gender perversions in the West is a particular symptom of the triumph of godless demonism, which will culminate in the rise of the Antichrist — implicitly and explicitly deified "sentient" AI.

Huxley's "Island" — his last and most important book — must be understood as a guide to action. But even Huxley realized that such a society is too sane for this insane world, hence the book's apocalyptic finale. The Shadow triumphs.

After terminating the Eleusinian Mysteries and other great traditions of mystical experience, after centuries of brainwashing humanity with false objectifications of Transcendence and the pseudo-scientific metaphysics of materialism, the Shadow has brought us to a state where our conscious connection to the Divine is almost broken. Kali Yuga.

The idea that there is no objective truth is called postmodernism, and it has poisoned the world. Our inability to see, for instance, the truth of ontological idealism—the truth that Consciousness is all there is—is caused by our blindness, not by the inexistence of this truth.

If the world has not approached its end, it has reached a major watershed in history, equal in importance to the turn from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance. It will demand from us a spiritual blaze; we shall have to rise to a new height of vision, to a new level of life, where our physical nature will not be cursed, as in the Middle Ages, but even more importantly, our spiritual being will not be trampled upon, as in the Modern Era. This ascension is similar to climbing onto the next anthropological stage. No one on earth has any other way left but—upward. — Solzhenitsyn

Mythology, theology, and philosophy are attempts at an explicit and objective expression and representation of transcendent Being. Mythology tries by an overflowing, ever-changing wealth of tales, figures, and interpretations, by the unfoldment of a knowledge of Transcendence that pervades mundane knowledge and accompanies it. Theology tries on the ground of historically fixed revelation, claiming a rationally based, systematically perfected knowledge of truth. Philosophical metaphysics tries by pondering Transcendence in existence, by thoughts that reach the ultimate origins and limits of existence, turn somersaults, and require present fulfillment by a historic Existenz. In philosophical metaphysics we adopt mythical reality from everywhere and seek to understand what is alien to us in mythology and revelation. The proximity and interpenetration of the three formative spheres serve only to exacerbate their mutual rejection. But even as enemies they remain tied to each other. The unhistoric, ever-recurring typicality of their formations will not let the struggle between them rest—yet no clear fronts can evolve, with the struggle hidden in the individual soul as an irreversible motion. — Karl Jaspers

One almost never sees voluntary self-restraint. Everybody operates at the extreme limit of ... legal frames. — Solzhenitsyn

If humanism were right in declaring that man is born to be happy, he would not be born to die. Since his body is doomed to die, his task on earth evidently must be of a more spiritual nature. — Solzhenitsyn

I am not examining the case of a disaster brought on by a world war and the changes which it would produce in society. But as long as we wake up every morning under a peaceful sun, we must lead an everyday life. Yet there is a disaster which is already very much with us. I am referring to the calamity of an autonomous, irreligious humanistic consciousness. — Solzhenitsyn

“…The plurality [of consciousnesses] is only apparent, in reality there is only one Consciousness. This is the teaching set forth in the Upanishads. And not only in the Upanishads. The mystical experience of union with God usually entails a similar understanding…” — Erwin Schrödinger

Transcendence

There is no such thing as the invisible (nonempirical) “microworld”, for the visible (empirical) “macroworld” reality of phenomenal consciousness is constituted/projected by transcendental consciousness whose elementary intersubjective causal structures/processes are described mathematically by physics—a branch of transcendental phenomenology—as “elementary particles, waves, etc.” There is nothing “micro” in transcendental consciousness, for space is an attribute of phenomenal consciousness only, as “quantum nonlocality” clearly demonstrates. Hence, the “microworld” is merely a myth of the pseudoscientific metaphysical mythology of materialism (physicalism).
