- John (ch. I, v. 1)
Gaudily clad in his belief, the prophet weaves us a cloak of dreams. Dreams to entice us, dreams to excite us, dreams to incite us. Who is this preacher we are talking about ? This preacher who deals us a platter of hope spiked with the choicest of falsity ?
Preach unto us o great one , cries the masses , and he goes on in his sacrilege !!! The blindness of faith has guided him into the spiral of destruction . Destruction of all that is dear , all that was made in the six days. He is dogma, she is fanaticism, it is belief !!!
Knowledge is but which is true, infallible and arrived by a system of self-consistent beliefs. She is the both the means to the end and the end itself. The journey of knowledge is as rewarding as the journey to knowledge. But then in these heathen days we are all but mute spectators recording the pilgrim's progress. Always the scribe but never the protagonist. We have been shut out the fundamentals and created a credo based on axioms of falsehood.
The knowledge of all is now polluted with the lack of the basic qualities which define knowledge. We are being driven by our faith, without seeking the justification, without seeking the reliable basis. We all worship the false gods based on the belief of some. We all have lost the basic tenets which led us to progress. Man is falling into the death spiral guided by his faith in what he feels has been his source of progress.
Look back into antiquity and we find that faith was just a way of life, not life itself. Religion was principle, not tenets. Society was aggregation and not structure. But cut back to the present and we are deluged by the crisis of beliefs. Not the lack of them but the innumerability of them. We are meant to follow the path, we are meant to fit in the wall ,we are the bricks on which the giants of falsity are standing. We are deluded by the fact of being individuals , when we are just the dynamos in the engine of regression that is going towards atavism on a massive scale.
Norms which were one just quirks are now unbreakable tenets. We are taught to be rebels who will create a new structure where the excess bricks will fit in.From Religion to culture to society we are all bound by the various tests of beliefs accorded to us. And we happily pass in all of them and go on in our fool's paradise. We believe that we are meant to be someone. We believe that we will change the world. We believe that we believe.
The shackles of the sky has bounded us to terra infirma. We are not living under a false dream, we are a false dream which has become real. We are driven by ourselves to be destroyed , we are being killed by our ethics, we are being killed by our system of aesthetics, we are being killed by our will to live. we have fallen in a cycle from which the man knows no escape... is there hope ???
