Relentless and inexorable
This menacing creation
That we ourselves conceived
With covetous verve and credulity
Something this intensely profound
Can never be allowed
The fabric and all that holds it
Will all burn
It will all be torn down
To contain it in its lair
Pandora's quantum prison
In wave after wave
It will see us fail
Consign to oblivion
This thing we cannot grasp
Bury deep this entity
Unlearn it ever existed
This is our omega
Factitious nemesis
The great dismantler
Of our dominionIf evеr there was a reason
Maintain this grеatest lie
That never did we look
Into the abysmal eye—Meshuggah, “The Abysmal Eye”
And when he was sitting on mount Olivet, the disciples came to him privately, saying: Tell us when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the consummation of the world? [4] And Jesus answering, said to them: Take heed that no man seduce you: [5] For many will come in my name saying, I am Christ: and they will seduce many.
[6] And you shall hear of wars and rumours of wars. See that ye be not troubled. For these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. [7] For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be pestilences, and famines, and earthquakes in places: [8] Now all these are the beginnings of sorrows. [9] Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall put you to death: and you shall be hated by all nations for my name's sake. [10] And then shall many be scandalized: and shall betray one another: and shall hate one another.
[11] And many false prophets shall rise, and shall seduce many. [12] And because iniquity hath abounded, the charity of many shall grow cold. [13] But he that shall persevere to the end, he shall be saved. [14] And this gospel of the kingdom, shall be preached in the whole world, for a testimony to all nations, and then shall the consummation come. [15] When therefore you shall see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place: he that readeth let him understand.
[16] Then they that are in Judea, let them flee to the mountains: [17] And he that is on the housetop, let him not come down to take any thing out of his house: [18] And he that is in the field, let him not go back to take his coat. [19] And woe to them that are with child, and that give suck in those days. [20] But pray that your flight be not in the winter, or on the sabbath.
[21] For there shall be then great tribulation, such as hath not been from the beginning of the world until now, neither shall be. [22] And unless those days had been shortened, no flesh should be saved: but for the sake of the elect those days shall be shortened. [23] Then if any man shall say to you: Lo here is Christ, or there, do not believe him. [24] For there shall arise false Christs and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders, insomuch as to deceive (if possible) even the elect. [25] Behold I have told it to you, beforehand.
[26] If therefore they shall say to you: Behold he is in the desert, go ye not out: Behold he is in the closets, believe it not. [27] For as lightning cometh out of the east, and appeareth even into the west: so shall the coming of the Son of man be. [28] Wheresoever the body shall be, there shall the eagles also be gathered together. [29] And immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun shall be darkened and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of heaven shall be moved: [30] And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all tribes of the earth mourn: and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with much power and majesty.
At the end of our lives, we will say to God, “Thy will be done”—and be saved, or “My will be done”—and be damned. We will say what we will say based upon how we lived our lives in our deepest intentions, whether we consistently submitted to God’s will or our own will; if the latter, we will be given a last chance to repent before our final say and God’s final judgment. God’s will is Reality, and our will when separated and thus in defiance of His is unreality. Hell is best defined as eternal and irreversible unreality.
I’ve said before that the scamdemic was and is (it’s not over) a pandemic of unreality. Its underlying spiritual intent, whether conscious or unconscious in the minds of the human intenders—though definitely conscious in the minds of the angelic intenders—was to condition us voluntarily and knowingly to choose to believe and live in unreality. Every particular lie, ideology, institutionalized structure of sin/mendacity/injustice, false-flag psy-op, occult sorcery, technological domination/seduction, and propaganda program is aimed at such conditioning, of course, but the plandemic was, as it were, the ultimate synthesis of all these evils. If the sorcery of IXXI was the inauguration of the Reign of Antichrist, and if the pandemic served to prepare us for his imminent arrival, then the Ukrainsanity may very well bring us his actual presence on the world stage.
The propaganda now is on another level than the scamdemic, if that were even possible, and the real possibility of a global economic shutdown, universal famine, financial ruin, and even nuclear holocaust is more apparent than ever. Only God can save us from all this, but the Antichrist will present himself as the savior, and as the scamdemic has revealed, the vast majority of people desire illusion over reality, enslavement over freedom, oppression over liberation, and scapegoating-fueled self-righteousness over repentance-induced humility. The Antichrist will (temporarily) save us from Armageddon, yes, but at the cost of our souls, and just as we willingly accepted the status of walking diseases, inmates of a global panopticon and medical experimentees of psychopaths as long as it promised to take away the fear, so too will we accept the status of worshippers of the Antichrist as long as he promises to save us from global chaos and mass annihilation. And if we fell for Fauci and Gates, clownish human caricatures who nevertheless swept billions up into their lies and murders, we will be no match for Antichrist, whose deceptiveness and seductiveness will be at such a level “as to deceive (if possible) even the elect.”
As I have said in previous essays, God will indeed save us from all this, including the curse of the Antichrist, and He will do this through The Warning, The Miracle of the Illumination of all Consciences. We will still have to make our choice for God’s will over our own, for Reality over nothingness, right after this event, but we will now be in a position to do so with full knowlege and consent, for the Warning will destroy all rationalizations and self-deceptions, all excuses and justifications, and we will see ourselves just as God sees us, and we will know God’s judgment on what we see. If we want Truth, we will repent and God will inundate us with His grace to make us know Him intimately and love Him intensely. If we want lies, He will allow us to enter into a state of utter unreality, and honestly, I don’t know what will happen to these people. They will be like the walking damned, but haven’t we seen an intimation of these in the scamdemic, all those masked covidiots and covidian cultists raging at the Truth you tried to convey to them and walking blindly like zombies to get their poison injections, rejecting anything other than the satanic narrative and hating you viscerally for your truth-telling?
All this is a preface to what I really wanted to talk about in this post, which is a phenomenon I have noticed lately, one that is directly tied to the preceding. I am sure you have noticed it as well. It occurred to me that this phenomenon was prophecied by Dostoyevski in Crime and Punishment. Raskolnikov chooses unreality over reality by murdering his landlady to show his capacity to transcend the moral law, and the novel shows us the psychological and spiritual consequences of his choice. Towards the end of the novel, before his repentance and conversion, Raskolnikov has a dream:
He dreamt that the whole world was condemned to a terrible new strange plague that had come to Europe from the depths of Asia. All were to be destroyed except a very few chosen. Some new sorts of microbes were attacking the bodies of men, but these microbes were endowed with intelligence and will. Men attacked by them became at once mad and furious. But never had men considered themselves so intellectual and so completely in possession of the truth as these sufferers, never had they considered their decisions, their scientific conclusions, their moral convictions so infallible. Whole villages, whole towns and peoples went mad from the infection. All were excited and did not understand one another. Each thought that he alone had the truth and was wretched looking at the others, beat himself on the breast, wept, and wrung his hands. They did not know how to judge and could not agree what to consider evil and what good; they did not know whom to blame, whom to justify. Men killed each other in a sort of senseless spite. They gathered together in armies against one another, but even on the march the armies would begin attacking each other, the ranks would be broken and the soldiers would fall on each other, stabbing and cutting, biting and devouring each other. The alarm bell was ringing all day long in the towns; men rushed together, but why they were summoned and who was summoning them no one knew. The most ordinary trades were abandoned, because everyone proposed his own ideas, his own improvements, and they could not agree. The land too was abandoned. Men met in groups, agreed on something, swore to keep together, but at once began on something quite different from what they had proposed. They accused one another, fought and killed each other. There were conflagrations and famine. All men and all things were involved in destruction. The plague spread and moved further and further. Only a few men could be saved in the whole world. They were a pure chosen people, destined to found a new race and a new life, to renew and purify the earth, but no one had seen these men, no one had heard their words and their voices.
“But never had men considered themselves so intellectual and so completely in possession of the truth as these sufferers, never had they considered their decisions, their scientific conclusions, their moral convictions so infallible.”
Does this not sound like the men of today? I can’t think of a better description of the virtue-signaling Covidiots of the scamdemic and the “Kill-Putin” zombies of the Ukrainsanity.
“They did not know how to judge and could not agree what to consider evil and what good; they did not know whom to blame, whom to justify.”
Now, this sounds like the opposite of the previous description, but it really is the same thing. It is precisely because they don’t know, and, more precisely, don’t care to know what is evil and good, what is true and false, that they take their opinions to be infallible. What causes the contradiction between infallible knowledge and absolute ignorance in those infected with the plague is their putting, before any conscious and reflective evaluation of what is actually the case, “I want” in the place of “I think.” In other words, “I want this to be the case,” therefore, “I think this is the case,” and finally, “This is the case.” There is a part of them that knows that they don’t know, but because they so much want things to be a certain way, they eclipse that Socratic part of themselves with a neurotic “will to knowing,” a pathological and fanatical dogmatism that is just a defense mechanism against their dawning awareness of ignorance. I know from my own experience of doing this on occasion that it is not usually a fully conscious choice. I do think that for the most wicked, the Faucis, Gateses, Soroses, and Schwabs, and those even more wicked lurking behind the scenes, it is a quite conscious choice of the will to power over reality and God. But for the vast majority, it is a conditioned, pre-rational pathology. But I think that we are all being conditioned to become more and more consciously complicit in this choice for desire over reality. This, to me, is the ultimate intention of the scamdemic and Ukrainsanity, notwithstanding the other intended goals, such as the Great Reset, global chaos, democide, totalitarianism, war, famine, enslavement, et. al.
It is easier than ever before for us to choose “I want” over “I think,” and “I think” over “It is.” How easy it is now to live in our dialectic-averse silos of self-justifying “communities,” whether online or in-person, in which we can remain impervious to any “other” who might challenge our desires-beliefs-thoughts-judgments. It is an atavistic return to the worst kind of tribalism, a regression to a degraded and perverse primitivism. It is the worst because now it is a conscious, sophisticated, cultivated choice to regress in our consciousness, all the while knowing the alternative, a perversity that primitive tribes, of course, were not able to descend to. They were more like ignorant children. We are knowledgeable adults choosing to behave as, nay, be ignorant children.
Here’s an example of what I am talking about. Recently, a book came out called Ask Your Husband, a wife-of-eight-children’s screed against godless, male-hating feminism, the kind of screed I would usually favor. But it presents as the antidote to feminism something akin to the paterfamilias “family” of pagan Rome, ostensibly justified by the plain interpretation of Scripture and Catholic Tradition. Recalling Raskolnikov’s dream, this is, of course, an infallible book, and judging from their response to criticisms (such as my wife’s), anyone who disagrees with the author’s prescriptions of, say, under penalty of sin, the wife agreeing to the marital act always when desired by the husband (except for, say, extreme illness), or never leaving the home without asking the husband, or never working outside the home (even with the husband’s permission) is obviously anti-Catholic and on the side of the evil feminists. This refusal of dialectical inquiry mixed with ad hominum and accusatory attacks on dissenters all based on the most tendentious of Scriptural and doctrinal interpretation bespeaks the “I want” = “I think” = “It is” mentality. Why this particular husband and wife want this kind of relationship, which is psychologically oppressive, emotionally abusive, morally unjust, and spiritually perverse is beyond me. Needless to say, it has nothing to do with “what is”, that is, the Catholic Church’s teaching or Scripture or human nature or actual gender characteristics and common-sense roles or justice or charity. This internecine Catholic squabble is just a microcosm of the “debate” on the scamdemic and Ukrainsanity, and here we could include the plague-like discourse among Christians on the nature of modernity, World War II revisionism, IXXI, and the role of Freemasonry and occult sorcery in world events. Are you woke yet?
So, what to do? Truly, we can only look to ourselves to solve this problem. Are we putting “I want” over “It is”? Are we engaging in that sort of relationship with an other or others that could alert us to this anti-truth tendency in ourselves? I know my relationship with my wife helps me quite a bit, and this is because she is vigilant about all this, and is not afraid to call me out when needed. The Warning will shock the hell (literally) out of the best of us, showing us in graphic detail just how much we have put our own wills over God’s will, how much we live in untruth while thinking we are courageous truth-seekers. Can we give ourselves little warnings now so the shock then will be less painful? Let us get out of our solipsism by prayer, fasting, and almsgiving, first of all, and by being as vigilant as possible to avoid infectious areas, people, groups, and activities, and by practicing immune-strengthening activities, seeking to be in close relationships with plague-immune people, such as Jesus Christ and those who truly love Him, and truly love us.
I haven’t read the book written by the Gordons. But if they said it was gravely sinful for a wife to deny the marital debt without grave cause, they’re in agreement with St. Alphonsus who’s a Doctor of the Church in Moral Theology.
