Today
the world, political as well as religious, is managed like
a huge factory flanked by a film studio. Whether that industry is
thriving over there (Asia) or jousting against hard economic problems
around here
(Europe, singularly France), the fundamental controversies and crises
of conscience are no more,
nowhere having much influence on it, on its white kings,
blacks
kings, laws, lookouts and even its rebels,
or on its magic
lantern, its TVs, CDs, DVDs, commercials, technology and fashion feats,
news, etc. The
intellectuals are no more uninfluential, to say
nothing of the spiritual!
Besides, are there any spiritual men left?
This is definitely the tragic question that, in 1974 and 1977, makes
the Maker, continually consumed with love for his creature, come down
to Earth, in Arès, to call on the spiritual men, the souls
(Rev of
Arès 17/1-7, XXXIX/5-11) therefore, to come back to life.
For a spiritual man is not specifically a man that believes, in view of
the fact that a man can believe in just about anything. A spiritual man
is specifically a man with a soul. How can a man give himself a soul?
Through
penitence,
that is, goodness, love, forgiveness, peace, freedom,
intelligence of
the heart. Read or reread The Revelation of Arès!
The world has a pressing need for spiritual people not only capable of
resisting the cold calculations of rationalists and dull materialists,
which goes without saying, but of resisting general relativism, because
good as well as evil is by no
means relative but
in the
heart of the disillusioned citizen, who is dangerously wrong. Good
is good and evil is evil.
The world requires
men and women who will work hard gaining both good
without compromise with evil (Rev od
Arès 15/6) and an ethical stature
to influence society much more extensively than outsiders can do.
As people's trust put in religious dogmas as well as
political ideologies is disappearing, which a magma
of opinion—in which the "democracy of opinion" belongs—is replacing, a
magma liquid by nature, conditions for a small remnant
of spiritual men to develop are slowly being fulfilled. Only, the small
remnant cannot come into existence, if they let themselves
be
consumed by the magma of opinion. A real spiritual man is necessarily a
penitent, whether he is or is not aware to be so,
who
knows that Good never draws on the generally
accepted ideas,
because
they
at best would make him remain in a state of opposition, while he has to
be in a state of proposition, construction, civilisation. This is why I
replaced violent, retrospective French words like "révolution,
rebellion or opposition" with "insurgeance", because the former mean
nothing but substitution of a system for another system, while in fact the
world has to change, that is, Eden has to be re-created
(Rev of
Ares 28/7).
The spiritual man, whether he is or is not an Arès Pilgrim, follows the
absolute liberating concept of The Revelation of Arès.
A major mission of the spiritual men consists in making
mankind
absolutely free (Rev of Arès 10/10), making it
sober from
people subjected to the imperious cultural ideas, like the idea that
reason calls for the system, into people aware that society, whatever,
can thrive without it. What is true for man a long time
before
Adam, the thinking animal (Rev of Arès VII/1),
is false
for man once turned into the Creator's image and likeness
(Genesis
1/27). God states unambiguously through The
Revelation of Arès that
once the white king (all of religious powers) and black
king (all of non-religious powers) disappear, a new balance
settles naturally, freely: the changed world, if a small
remnant
of penitents has gathered to counterbalance the
risk of chaos.
Another major mission of the spiritual person consists in awakening
man's spirit of responsability or, stated with the peculiar words of The
Revelation of Arès, replacing the vassals
(the ruling
institutions and co-opted authorities, 3/5) with the
bans of
moderation and gentleness, the Assemblie's great council of penitents
(25/9)—great spirit of responsability, natural but not
institutional—to make sure that the Beast (Rev of Arès 22/14),
the empire of the rulers, princes,
political parties,
privileges and their mandarins and experts, will never get back on its
feet. Its is definitely by recreating
himself that the spiritual
man
reappears in the world so as to help it recreate itself.
