The way I look at it our current technological society, and looming technocratic society, are reflections of the implementation of Enlightenment Philosophy. Of course that was introduced in order to replace a Christian theory of reality; it has largely been successful. Enlightenment Philosophy first and foremost denies God, and then makes the interesting assumption that man, on the basis of his own efforts, can attain a paradise on earth, or at least a manageable and sustainable future. In that respect technological society can be compared to the effort that went into the construction of the Tower of Babel -- exactly analogous.
So right now we're in an intermediate phase: God has been discarded, and on the surface things look sort of neutral, spiritually speaking. But the next step in this process is the opening up of the spiritual dimension, only this time the goal will be the worship of Satan and the demonic host, instead of God.
Gosh, I remember reading his books a long time ago. This is a wonderful post, Anthony. Thank you.
"The way to live in a society that is anti-human, self-loathing, violent, chaotic and schitzophrenic does not lie in valorizing perverse lifestyles.
We can instead create our own “New Normal”. A simple life of love, creativity, independence and purpose."
I couldn't agree more.
As my bestie always says "if it isn't part of the life giving matrix, I don't want any part of it".
I did not remember that he was so concerned with war.
