I reject the amorality of philosophico-religious dead-ends



My moral compass turns way from the Greek, Indian and Judaic philosophico-religious dead-ends.

In the Greek philosophers I see only the natural order, or what is presupposed as the ideal order, but I find no creation of a new world outside of these. I find no conception of the mind as creator. I find no understanding of the moral nature of mind in the Greek philosophers because their world was nature, not mind. Their nature need not be material, it might be ideal, but it is what the mind contemplates, not what it makes. Stoical suicide is the end consistent with this conception of a reality apart, in which the subject has no worth.



Indian religions have the same end, in the suppression of the passions, in the extirpation of desire and every root of the human incentive to action, in the nirvana. Their ideal is the negation of the realm in which morality realises itself, human personality.

In the Judaic constructions, be they original, Christic or Islamic, morality is prescribed as laws to be followed. Tablets of stone descend from the super-Objective, the Jehovah who stands wholly apart, with laws to fill the vacuous minds of believers, who hand over their moral compass to the priesthood.

You all reduce every inner demand to a religious, philosophical or psychological dimension. Idiots, you have been led astray by the children of Satan. The inner spiritual life of your mind is neither philosophical, nor mystical. Your own living thinking is the Logos, not the dead thought imparted by mystic masters that weighs upon you as knowledge. Worship not the super-Objective, find the truth instead in the living thinking of the Absolute Ego.

Kabbalistic mysticism - the suicide of the self

Kabbalistic mysticism - the suicide of the self


The mystic’s absolute reality is not subject but object. The mystic's reality, so essentially objective and anti-spiritual, has no place for anything depending on the subject. The individual personality of the mystic is tormented by the desire for a God who is, in comparison with his own sense of nothingness, everything. Man, the world and all particular things exist as but modes of existence of the super-objective One, the Absolute.



All particular things dissolve as illusive shadows as the mystic strives to turn the dross of one reality into the pure gold of another. The spirits must be seen, one’s guardian angel evoked, super-objectivity upon objectivity. Ultimately the kabbalists’ struggle must lead to the surrender of the self to the envisioned super-Objective. Mysticism is the suicide of the self.

That which I know is what knows

That which I know is what knows 



That which I know is what knows. This identity is the perpetual Beginning.

Not to know this identity would be to live with the same limitations as religionists, philosophers and rationalists.

 That which I know is the transcendent Logos - the unifier of the Divine and the human.

Absolute autonomy not to be traded for religionism or rationalism

Absolute autonomy not to be traded for religionism or rationalism

My thinking does not repeat the ready-made, nor does my thinking have the logic of the ready-made. Instead, my thinking is the perpetual Beginningof creation. The Creation continues as my living thinking, which is transcendent and is made possible by my absolute autonomy.



I distinguish myself from all religionists and mystics, who believe in a thinking process which presupposes an object already realised before the process itself begins. The mind for them creates nothing, does nothing,merely contemplates existence, as a passive and indolent spectator.



The few creative greats that shun the contemplative life of the religionists and rationalists are themselves turned into objects of contemplation by the dumb masses, and objects of profit by the makers ofmoney by money.



Religionists are the same as rationalists. One may try to think of the mind in warm and fuzzy terms of seeking and searching, the other as a cold and calculating intellect, but they fail,because thinking must be transcendent, and freedom is impossible where the mind as the perpetual Beginning is not absolute. Hence religionism falls back on concepts of fate, surrender, worship and the like, whilst rationalism takes solace in never-ending observation.
