"Someday the will of the Russian people for divine perfection, for godlikeness will overcome the heavy gravity that returns us to the world of shadows and to disorders. Through the efforts of the creative people, Russia will attain that kind of resurrection, after which there comes immortality. This is what we talked about with President Putin in his Kremlin office. And in this office I heard the word "immortality" from him. It is the most Russian, most beautiful word, put into Russian lips by God Almighty himself." (Alexander Prokhanov)
If you ask Man whether he wants to die on his own free will or on someone else's will, hardly anyone in their right mind will choose the latter. Even those who believe in the afterlife and hope to find themselves in the promised paradise will agree: it is better to go there when you yourself have decided that the path has been completed, but not when someone or something - chance, illness, fate or another person - decide for you. Until that hour, the NATURAL CHOICE is life - purposeful, clear, fulfilled. Sometimes people, tired or falling into some philosophical exaltation, drop phrases about their readiness to die not of their own free will.
Every genuine evolution is of destructive character. Not because it is basically aggressive, but because the new cannot be born in the womb of the old without tearing it apart. Just as capitalism could not grow out of the depths of the feudal system, so the idea of defeating death CANNOT take root within the framework of the existing world order. The systems that have reached the limit of their maturity become not the bearers of the future, but its MAIN OBSTACLE. In order to create something qualitatively new, the old must be dismantled to the ground, and not only as infrastructure or institution, but as logic, value, the very FOUNDATION OF THINKING. The construction of the future does not begin with building of the walls - it begins with clearing out the area from the dead weight of the past. For any attempt to fit a new idea into the old frames WILL NOT BRING us to either any renewal or breakthrough - it will only result in another modification of the old, an upgrade, and mimicry.
The modern era is not merely a moment in time — it is the point of total human saturation. Everything that has accumulated over the last 18,000 years in the human mode of being under external control — distorted forms of thought, perverted mechanisms of social organization, excessive passions, and parasitic structures — has now reached a critical density. This density is not physical, rather it is energetic-informational. It represents that very RESIDUAL LAYER, molded from functions which people performed not as individuals, but as operational elements within someone else's control system. Long epochs of interventional oversight shaped the human not toward unfolding and development, rather toward optimal suitability — suitability for the execution of imposed and thus deeply alien meanings.
Nowadays, modern Man lives in the time of extreme technology and information saturation - and at the same time - in the state of deep internal disorientation. He is surrounded with explanations, but does not understand the point of them; he is able to measure, but is not able to distinguish; he knows how the world works, but has lost the understanding of why he is in this world.
We are used to thinking that we live in the present — a narrow strip of time dividing the past from the future. However, the present is not a fleeting moment; it is a permeable fabric woven with the shadows of what has been and the projections of what may come. It is not confined to a frame, nor does it end with perception. The present is open: it flows through us, opening passageways to what has not yet happened, and to what has NOT GONE.
"Only a handful of thinking people need the truth, and the crowd must just "obey", but what to believe in - this is no longer of great importance. The main thing is that people obey. And what is presented to them in this case - this is actually secondary. The truth is dangerous. The world has always been based on lies... The main thing is that this lie is interesting enough for a “short-sighted minds” to follow it... And if in this case you begin to prove to the crowd the real truth, disproving their "faith" in God knows what, you will be torn to pieces by this same crowd". This was said in the middle of the sixteenth century. Is it acceptable now, in our time? The reader will answer this question on his own.
The beginning of the third millennium has raised questions before the civilization, the answers to which will determine the future of the Individual and Society. The landmarks of freedom, equality and fraternity, which once inspired the movement towards social justice, have now given rise to the other side - the post-industrial era of MASSIVE FLIGHT from responsibility.
