Wokeness: The Secular Conclusion of Christian Morality
Woke ideology represents the secular culmination of Christian morality, transmuting the biblical mandate to "remove the log from one’s own eye" into a framework of inward-directed criticism and hyper-awareness of ancestral guilt. By prioritising the pacifism of "turning the other cheek" over logical self-preservation, this ethos risks facilitating the very evils it seeks to avoid when encountering aggressors incapable of shame. To resolve this cognitive dissonance, we must embrace a Jungian "tension of opposites," negotiating between the archetypal forces of Ares and Aphrodite. Ultimately, the Ego must act as a context-sensitive mediator, recognising that both justified strength and compassionate love are necessary to protect the fundamental values of Western civilisation.
Faith is a Muscle
Logic has its limits. While we often view faith as a defensive shield or 'blind' certainty, its true nature is more dynamic. From the grounding roots of trust to the scientific process of doubt, this post explores why faith isn't just a feeling, but a muscle that defines how we navigate the unknown.
Myth is Supernatural
While we often dismiss myths as relics separate from the "cold precision" of natural laws, the human condition is governed by a force that is fundamentally supernatural: the power of the Story. These invisible narratives exert a metaphysical pressure on our world, shaping our faith and morality more effectively than any physical law. Whether we realise it or not, we are often mere pawns to these "ideational spirits". To find our way back to a stable core, we must bring these unconscious stories into the light of consciousness.
