The New world cannot be born out of the old faith.

We must burn the temples,

in which lies have settled,

so that the Mind begin to shine in the emptiness.

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. “Neither do men put new wine into old bottles; else the bottles break, and the wine runs out, and the bottles perish. But they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved” (Matthew 9:17). For otherwise everything breaks: both the old, which is unable to withstand the pressure of the new, and the new, which does not have an appropriate container.

Modern civilization resembles a rotten building, ready to collapse under its own weight. We DO NOT FACE the choice: to preserve or to destroy. This choice has long been made by the logic of history itself - the only question is whether the destruction will be controlled. Either we recognize the NEED FOR DISMANTLING and do it with understanding, caring about the future, or everything will COLLAPSE CHAOTICLY, burying under itself even those who sincerely wanted to "preserve". To keep the rotten building means to doom to death all those who still live inside and pass by. Great transformations ARE NOT MADE out of mercy for the past. They are made out of responsibility to the future.

The destruction of religion as a stable system of consciousness control, formed over more than two millennia, CANNOT be achieved by tearing down the external architecture. Temples are destroyed not with a sledgehammer, but with knowledge. The true dismantling of a religious structure begins not with the stone, but with information - the one that gave birth to both faith and its material expressions. The temple is a consequence, NOT A CAUSE. Faith is primary; the temple is only its shadow. Any attempt to "convert people to faith" through the construction of temples is a paradox turned inside out. It is like trying to grow a tree starting with leaves, ignoring the seed. This is exactly what the campaign that began in 2011 in Moscow and then throughout the country looked like, and which continues up to now: the mass construction of reinforced concrete structures in the form of Orthodox churches UNDER THE GUIDE of "spiritual revival". What is presented as a return to the roots is essentially a RITUAL OF SIMULATION - a mechanical reproduction of forms without content. An attempt to give birth to faith through concrete forms is as absurd as the desire to start trains by building stations, but forgetting to lay tracks and make engines. Faith is NOT a DERIVATIVE of architecture. True spiritual experience is not born in the liturgy, but is born in DEEP COGNITION. True transformation always occurs from the inside, through awareness, not from the outside - through decorations. These discrepancies between the form and the essence especially acutely manifest themselves in the main question of any religious structure - the QUESTION OF GOD. This is where the main crack in the established system lies. God is not just an object of faith; here is a nodal point in the algorithm for controlling mass consciousness. The transformation of the image of God is simultaneously the transformation of the picture of the world and the position of man in it. Religion, as an institution, COULD NOT exist without this image. But this image, upon closer examination, turns out to be an INFORMATIONAL PROJECTION, and not an essential reality. It is created, supported and transmitted for the control, but not for enlightenment. And therefore, as soon as the information code underlying this structure is revealed, it WILL BEGIN TO COLLAPSE by itself - without war, without violence, without desecration. Kozma Prutkov¹, in his deep irony, once noted: "Small causes can have very important consequences." And indeed, one accurate blow to the point of semantic support brings down the entire superstructure built over centuries. This article DOES NOT CLAIM to have final answers. Rather, it tries to throw a seed of doubt that can grow into an INDEPENDENT INSIGHT. And if this seed sprouts in one of the readers, perhaps you are already on the path to YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING.

The idea of God (the Supreme Mind) is most clearly presented in the concepts of the level and hierarchies of intelligence in the Universe. Being is characterized by the presence of multi-level intelligence. At the same time, a higher level cannot be cognized from a lower one. Let's start from scratch. With the exception of artificial mind, at least all inorganic matter belongs to it. A stone CANNOT get information from the outside and, based on it, carry out certain modifications of its own. If we take a head of cabbage growing in a garden, then this is a FUNDAMENTALLY DIFFERENT level. It gets a lot of information from the outside: illumination, temperature, humidity, availability of nutrients in the soil, etc. Based on this information, the arrangement of leaves, the density and length of roots, and much more change. However, the animal world, for example a goat, is NOT INCLUDED in the circle of "ideas" of a head of cabbage about the universe around it. For it, this level of organization of the Universe is “uncognizable” in principle. And when a goat plucks a leaf from the head of cabbage, then for the cabbage it is a certain equivalent of intervention of forces unknown to it, the intervention from Above. But in addition to the animal world, the Universe also contains a higher level of intelligence - HOMO SAPIENS. And its essence is beyond comprehension of the animal world, although it is detected by them at the level of a material object. The assumption that Man in this hierarchy of intelligence designated by us is the top of the Universe seems primitive and unnatural. Such ideas can be compared with pre-Copernican views on the material STRUCTURE OF THE UNIVERSE. The Earth is in the center - everything turns around it. Here too, Homo Sapiens - and the entire global Universe, INCOMPREHENSIBLE to him, are at his feet. A more logical view seems to be of Man as one of the sublevels of the Global Universal Intelligence, above which there is a higher level. It is incomprehensible for us, and there is nothing strange in it, if we keep in mind, even if primitive, the analogy with a head of cabbage. This higher level of the Universal Mind IS GOD, or the Supreme Mind. Lev N. Tolstoy said the following about this in June 1908: "Both the earth and the material world are supposed to have consciousness; only it is inaccessible to our understanding, like Human to a bug."

Worldview ideas about God are extremely important for the idea formation about Man’s physical existence and his Spirit. Primitive materialism reduces existence to a purely physiological material phenomenon. With such a view of life, Man can accept the idea of obtaining earthly goods at ANY PRICE. And in this case, he really can put off the proposed article. He has other problems. If you carefully read, for example, the Koran, OTHER SOURCES of the Single Testament, then you will have other ideas about the meaning of life. Existence (being) is the way of self-development of a human Soul. The most general model of evolution is a multitude of individual developments of the Brain (Entities, Souls), with multiple incarnations in different bodies. Our memories of past lives at the level of consciousness are BLOCKED for the MAJORITY in order to stimulate thinking and creativity and to manifest the true state of the Brain (Entity, Soul), and not its conjuncture - which, in fact, was implemented within the framework of the Old Control System when solving problems aimed at the developing of specific brain genotypes. For a thinking person, the ABSURDITIES OF DARWINISM are obvious, they can be proven mathematically. New bodily forms of the Brain existence (as a more objective concept - Spirit, Soul) are created from the above, when the previous ones have exhausted themselves, when a certain amount of the Brain, in the process of evolution, has reached such a level that its further development in this form BECOMES IMPOSSIBLE. Further, we will note indirect evidence in the work of the Old Control System or, if you like, Genesis. We will limit ourselves to classifying only our deeds, thoughts and actions consistent with the Old Control System (in our concepts - God's providence). They can be distinguished by two criteria. Do what does not depress your genetics, the genetics of your children and grandchildren, DO NOT HARM others, if this is not connected with the suppression of greater evil. Where are the criteria? - Only in the Brain, based on the information given to you and the SENSE OF MEASURE. Indirect evidence of the Genesis is the preservation of this idea of God throughout the centuries in all countries and among all peoples. Notions about nothing are possible, but they CANNOT support the entire thousand- year history of mankind.

If the idea of God can be elusive, internal, spiritual intuition - then the Prophets are the most direct, most tangible and clear evidence of the presence of the SUPREME MIND in the history of mankind. Moses, Buddha, Jesus Christ, Muhammad - these names cannot be erased from the map of the earthly memory. Each of them, in their time, in their space, brought to people a fragment of the SINGLE TRUTH, emanating from ONE CENTER. And if we take in our hands the original sources, cleared of later layers, we suddenly discover: everything they said is about different things, BUT FROM ONE. We see a SINGLE TESTAMENT, expressed in the languages, symbols, rituals of different peoples, but bearing the same essence: about the STRUCTURE of the UNIVERSE, about the tasks of the soul, about the connection of Man with the Source. God is one, but there are many religions. Religion is the clothing of culture, the cut of which depends on climate, language, tradition. Faith is NOT RELIGION. Faith is an inner state of living connection with the Supreme. Worship of God SHOULD NOT be reduced to a rug, a dome, an icon or Scripture, especially if it is dead and ritual. The true faith is a LIVING PRESENCE, it is the breath of the spirit in Man, and it is a constant inner dialogue with conscience and Providence.

A true believer is outside of any confession. He can pray with the words of Christians; reflect like a Buddhist; feel a thrill like a Muslim, follow the Law like a Jew. But he is NOT a PRISONER of any of the cults, because his cult is the Source, not a channel. Such a position is not ecumenism², not an artificial unification of all religions into a hybrid ritual. This is a movement toward the Primordial, a cleansing of the paths, a return to the Truth before divisions, before political church structures, before historical traumas and institutional hypocrisy. This is the return to the words that sound in the Scriptures like water through the fingers - clean UNTIL it IS STAINED by the system. And before arguing about Christianity, let us clarify what kind of Christianity we are talking about. About the one that was formed in Jerusalem? Or about the one that was formed at the Councils in Byzantium? Or, perhaps, about medieval Catholicism, or about the Protestant movement of the 16th century? They all call themselves bearers of the Truth - but they contradict each other. Maybe the truth was before all of them - in the words of the Teacher, sounding in the mountains and boats, and not in the altars?

I, as well as Nicolai Levashov, distinguish at least four different teachings, each of which, erroneously, to the extent of misunderstanding, is called Christianity by many. True Christianity was preached by I. Christ during his life and directly. I. Christ (Radomir) is the only one to whom the TARGET INFORMATION was sent down from Above, which was designed as the Gospel or Good News translated into Russian. NEITHER John, NOR Luke, NOR other evangelists RECEIVED the Gospel directly from Christ and this is already the methodical INCONSISTENCY of the BIBLE. The second modified teaching, which was preached by the apostles, the Disciples of Christ after his passing away to another world, during their life directly, i.e. the period from 33 to 100. The third teaching is characteristic of the period from 100 to 325. And finally, the fourth has specific earthly sources - the Nicene Ecumenical Council, which adopted the Nicene Creed, very far from true Christianity, distorting the teachings of Christ. It is with this pseudo- Christianity, which is in the service not of the Lord God, but of conceptual power³, that we HAVE TO DO today. The text of the Bible of the synod translation contains the prophecies of Solomon and the prophecy of Isaiah, which characterize God from directly opposite points of view. Thus, the Bible gives ideas about two COMPLETELY DIFFERENT gods, which testifies to its illogicality. Here, instead of monotheism, you will find the dogma of the Trinity and the deification of Christ, who was one of the Messengers of God, and many other absurdities, especially in the economic sphere. In the economic sphere, the Bible is a satanic doctrine of direct robbery and enslavement of other peoples, which will be discussed below. By the way, the question of the deification of Christ, which he himself opposed during his lifetime, was decided only at the Council of Nicaea by the majority vote (218 for, 2 abstained). For the sake of brevity, documentary argumentation is NOT PROVIDED here; however, regarding the fact of the distortion of Christ's teaching, I would like to refer to the reflection of this circumstance in M. Bulgakov's "The Master and Margarita". During the interrogation by Pontius Pilate, Yeshua testifies about the tax collector Levi Matthew: "... he walks alone with a goat parchment and writes continuously. But I once looked at this parchment and was horrified. I said absolutely nothing of what was written there."

In 988, the BYZANTINE HIERARCHY INVADED Rus' and, with the support of local compromisers, carried out an ideological coup called the "Baptism of Rus". Our ancestors were fed legends about facts that took place on foreign soil a thousand years ago and were completely falsified by that time. The social mechanism of baptism was methodologically equivalent to the mechanism of Perestroika in the 80-90s of the last century. The local "elite" wanted a sweet life; similar to the one led by Byzantium, which was being killed by anti-Christianity. The entire past was declared vicious and subject to oblivion as a nightmare. Russia was plunged into an era of atheism - precisely atheism, since it is diverse.

The most primitive - materialistic atheism is professed by those who believe that there is neither God nor Messengers of God. They behave according to the principle set forth by F. M. Dostoevsky: "If there is no God, then everything is permitted." There is another, more sophisticated type of atheism - idealistic atheism. The point of this atheism is that it recognizes the existence of God and demands that people strictly adhere to the commandments, dogmas and symbols of faith characteristic of a certain confession. For example, in the practice of Christianity, contrary to COMMON SENSE, faith in the One God - the Creator and Almighty was replaced by the worship of ritual, the dogma of the Trinity, the absolutization and deification of one of God's messengers. At the same time, everyone considers their teaching to be MORE CORRECT and declares all others who adhere to other symbols to be enemies of God and is ready to fight them until they either believe or are destroyed. Their unity on this issue is used by the conceptual power to organize military conflicts. On the basis of idealistic atheism, LUSH CULTURE, secular and ecclesiastical, can develop, which, as we see in the example of historical Orthodoxy, will constantly lack harmony between people in society and harmony between people and Nature. Any church hierarchy is organized in such a way that the closer Man is to the church, the further he is from God. Well, and it is appropriately here TO REMEMBER THE POSITION of Leo Tolstoy, who accused the official church hierarchy of Russia of magic and concealment of the true teaching of Christ. This is stated in his response to the Synod on the act of excommunication: "The fact that I renounce the church, which calls itself Orthodox, is completely fair... And I am convinced that the teaching of the church is theoretically a cunning and harmful lie, and in practice - a collection of the crudest superstitions and witchcraft, concealing the entire meaning of Christian teaching." By now, Russia has overcome both idealistic and materialistic atheism and is already irreversibly FOLLOWING THE COURSE (goal vector) defined by the New Control System. Malicious attempts to return Russia to the bosom of idealistic atheism will be stopped not only by earthly common sense, but also by the Control System itself or the so- called Divine Providence.

Gross distortions of the original teaching of Christ are NOT JUST a historical fact, but a conceptual crime aimed at replacing the Meaning with a symbol, and Living Knowledge with a dead dogma. That is why in the search for the truth one has to pay attention to LATER SOURCES, one of which is the Koran - a collection of Revelations voiced by Muhammad and recognized as the last Prophet of the One Testament. According to historical tradition, the Koran was sent down to Muhammad over 22 years - from 610 to 632 AD - directly, in the form of inspirations recorded in the oral speech of the Prophet and written down by his contemporaries. Muhammad, in fact, was a pure transmitter - he could not write, was not a scientist and did not go through the formal stages of knowledge. This, oddly enough, became the guarantor of authenticity - the source of the Revelation WAS NOT intellectually "brainwashed" or built according to the logic of the author. The meaning came — and was voiced. Of course, the Koran did not escape the influence of human mediation: editors, historical context, peculiarities of perception. The accepted canonical version was recorded under the third caliph Uthman two decades after the death of the Prophet.

Codification of the text, as always in such cases, entailed the RISK OF LOSS of the chronological sequence, logical connections and nuances. The suras are not arranged in the order of their revelation, but on other grounds, often far from the internal plan. Nevertheless, the Koran turned out to be SIGNIFICANTLY MORE RESISTANT to distortion than the Bible. Its structure — verses (ayats), numbered and rhythmically designed as blank verse — does not allow a mechanical editing. Any change entails the destruction of internal harmony. This makes the Koran a UNIQUE TEXT in the degree of formal and substantive self-preservation. But this is not the main thing. The main thing is that the Koran contains ideas and depths that CANNOT BE ATTRIBUTED to the creative imagination of an illiterate person. His internal structures, paradoxical insights and philosophical foundations do not correspond to the intellectual background of the time, which in itself is the sign not of "inspiration", but of the source from above.

The key advantage of the Koran is its universalism. It DOES NOT CREATE confessional boundaries, does not absolutize the figure of Muhammad and DOES NOT COUNTERPOSE him to other Messengers. On the contrary, the Koran recognizes Moses, Jesus and other prophets as equal bearers of a single divine will. This is the most important signal: GOD IS ONE - only the methods of conveying the Truth to different peoples in different historical eras differ. Surah⁴ (2) raises questions of justice in the economy, exposing the root of evil - not as a financial scheme, but as a spiritual deformation introduced into the consciousness of society. Modern financiers, no matter what titles they have, are either unable or unwilling to show these meanings. Surah (5) is about monotheism and malicious distortions of revelations, about the inadmissibility of elevating man to the rank of God and about the responsibility of all religions for distorting the ORIGINAL TESTAMENT. The Koran sharply emphasizes the uniqueness of Allah. God is omnipotent, omnipresent, all-encompassing, eternal, and consubstantial. He has "no partners" above all that... is associated with Him" (9:31).

One of the most subtle forms of blocking universal Knowledge has become the manipulative translation of the Koran. As Pushkin wrote, translators are "dummy horses of enlightenment". Their task is not to convey the meaning, but to distort it in the cultural context of the audience. If, honestly translate the Koran from Arabic, then the word Allah should be translated as God. But such a translation will immediately make it clear that for both Islamists and Christians God is one, only the rituals differ. But how in this case to conduct an organized pitting of peoples against each other on the basis of religious differences. And in the modern world you will practically not find military conflicts of any other kind (Chechnya, Karabachos, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Yugoslavia).

After reading the Koran, you understand that the fictions about some kind of "Islamic fundamentalism" could only be invented by those who HAVE NEVER TAKEN the Koran in their hands, with its respectful attitude to each of the Teachings sent down from Above, or those who maliciously and not selflessly form FALSE IDEAS about the essence of the Koran. And various kinds of absurdities of historical Islam are associated with the deviation allowed by the Muslim church hierarchy from the Koranic revelations⁵. Thus, if you cleanse Christianity of its malicious biblical distortions and carefully read the Koran, their ABSOLUTE IDENTITY will appear before your eyes, and you will understand that you are dealing with a Single Testament, "sent down" from Above. It teaches how to organize human society in peace, harmony and justice and build an earthly paradise during one's lifetime. However, justice and happiness for all on Earth DO NOT FIT into the worldview of the current owners of the Biblical Concept.

To destroy the civilization given rise by religion, the civilization which has become the instrument to control the masses does not mean setting fire to temples or smashing squares, but DEACTIVATING ITS hidden logical nodes on which the entire superstructure rests. It is not the walls that support a house, but the structure. If you pull out the load-bearing connections, the building will collapse on its own, not from an external blow, but from an internal loss of meaning. In order to move from criticism of the system to the technology of its dismantling, three successive steps are necessary: to determine the key load-bearing elements of the civilization framework, to understand how they can be neutralized, to formulate a clear and EFFECTIVE METHODOLOGY for dismantling these supports. And the first of these load-bearing elements is the Goal. Every civilization begins with goal-setting. Without it, it is impossible to even distinguish which way the wind is blowing: whether it is helping or doing harm. The goal is the coordinate axis from which the conceptual pair of Good and Evil is derived. Good is what helps to achieve the goal. Evil is what hinders. And from this distinction there appears the scale of values, which regulates everything: from actions to thoughts, from family models to intimate morality. This scale is NOT GIVEN to man from above as a natural given - it was CONSTRUCTED AND EMBEDED into his consciousness. As a result of multiple repetitions, cultural pressure, ritual and preaching, these values were absorbed into consciousness, became a second self, and are called - Morality. But to be precise - this is nothing more than a social habit that has turned into an UNCONDITIONAL REFLEX. Morality is the "frozen will" of the system. Man lives by it, like by an internal compass, NOT REALIZING that the needle of this compass is artificially oriented to an external goal, not necessarily his own. This is how models are built: what kind of family is considered "true"; how a "real man" or "worthy woman" should behave; where is the boundary between "one's own" and "another's"; how to act in certain situations. And if Man faces a challenge that DOES NOT FIT into the given goal, he "freezes". His internal program DOES NOT KNOW how to act. There occurs a failure - an identity crisis. It should be understood: all settings are derived from the Goal. If you trace any of them to the very beginning it will bring you to some primary goal-setting - to the philosophical foundation that formed the basis of the civilization project. These goal-settings are not an accident, not a whim, not a by-product of culture. THESE ARE the TOOLS that were created by the System to reprogram Man. Those who do not fit into these settings are apostates. In any society, in all eras, the Inquisition operates - under different masks and names. It always suppresses deviations from the canon, because any deviation is a threat to the goal-setting structure. This is how the entire system is arranged: from religious dogmas to secular morality, from family scenarios to state policy — everything is arranged AROUND THE GOAL that can be imposed, but is rarely realized. And therefore, to destroy a civilization means to destroy its goal, revealing to man the fact of alien control over his own life.

Every civilization carries a program — a vector of goal, fixed through a religious or ideological shell. From this goal grow cultural forms, moral principles, norms of behavior, habits of perception and even ways of feeling. However, the goal can be forgotten, religion — lost, context — erased, but the form CONTINUES TO EXIST - like the shell of an already hatched egg. Over time, the meanings that gave birth to the forms disappear. The conditions from which a certain morality or behavioral model was born, go into oblivion. But the habit lives longer. It remains in the body of culture, in the body of Man, as inertial memory, as behavioral automatism. And even when following these principles becomes harmful, Man CONTINUES TO ACT within their framework — out of habit, out of inertia, like a biorobot that is no longer executing his own program — which, in fact, is what we are seeing today. If the economy is impossible without common units of measurement - length, weight, volume — then civilization is impossible without a common system of coordinates: a common goal, common ideas about good and evil, a common scale of values. If these foundations are erased, then civilization LOSES STABILITY, like a market where everyone has their own idea of how many grams are in a kilogram. In this phase, there begins decomposition. Civilization enters the stage of an ideological vacuum. THE GOAL DISAPPEARS, and with it - the meaning. It is replaced by a consumer society, where man is deprived of the idea of the future, but is still subordinated to the habits of the past. He lives to absorb, in every sense of the word - biologically, psychologically, and culturally. His interest is absorption. He lives WITHOUT A GOAL, but by inertia continues to follow the guidelines that once had meaning. Such a civilization is like a tree that has lost its soil. The root system no longer absorbs nutrition — the meanings have dried up. But the wood still retains some life-giving residue. The branches are still hold on the wood, the leaves move in the wind, the birds sing — but this is FALSE VITALITY, a slow dying. There is an inertial existence of a dead structure that has not yet realized its own death. When the residual sap runs out, the leaves will become a herbarium, the branches — dust, and the trunk — material for firewood. And those who DID NOT UNDERSTAND this in advance will panic and save the external form, not realizing that the internal content is already gone. Our task is not to preserve a dead tree, but to PLANT A NEW ONE, whose roots correspond to the new soil, whose nutrition grows from a living worldview. An old tree cannot be revived — the old world cannot be returned. Its values, its purpose, its religious and moral architecture cannot be reconstructed. They are finished, burnt out, exhausted. It is time for a change - a CHANGE in WORLDVIEW, a change in the vector of goal, a change in the understanding of Man himself and his role in the Universe. And a new tree of life must be grown from new seeds of Understanding.

Any civilization is not based on stone and steel, but on the BINDING CEMENT of concepts derived from its main idea - from the worldview core. As long as this idea is alive, the structure is stable, even if the walls are cracking and the roof is sagging. But as soon as the root system of meanings is cut, the building begins to sag under its own weight, turning from a semantic structure into a COLLAPSING HEAP of forms without content. The most effective action is not to fight the consequences, but to expose their dependence on a long-forgotten cause. It is important to show that what people perceive as self- evident values are in fact only consequences of the WORKED OUT WORLDVIEW, by-products of the lost meaning. These "values" live only by force of habit, like leaves that have long been cut off from their roots, but still retain their green color by inertia. This is the main fraud of the consumer civilization: to present the generated as original, the secondary as primary, and the habitual as true.

Human thinking has HIGH INERTIA. People rarely analyze the origin of their moral norms or cultural taboos. They do not ask the question: "Why do I think so?", because they are accustomed to consider obvious what they have heard many times. It seems to them that this is a given that does not require justification. But every element of morality is always a consequence, always a conclusion. It DOES NOT EXIST outside the vector of the goal and the picture of the world in which this vector acquires meaning. Consumer civilization did not grow out of nothing. It is rooted in humanism, and humanism, in turn, is rooted in Christianity. If we follow the genealogy of concepts, we get a chain: Christianity → Humanism → Consumer model of the world. This means that the norms that we consider universal and traditional are in fact a continuation of the Christian doctrine, its moral heritage, disguised as AUTONOMOUS VALUES. Modern morality is a renovated religion⁶ that has forgotten its origins. To destroy this structure means to show its dependence on the forgotten foundation, to admit that “self- evident” is not at all evident, but has simply been repeated for a long time. Morality, as follows from its Latin origin (mos – disposition, habit), means nothing more than “generally accepted habit”. And a habit that has lost its functionality turns into cultural ballast – an aesthetic piano that no one listens to, but everyone is afraid to throw it away. People are afraid to break the familiar, even if it NO LONGER PLAYS, but only gathers dust. They are afraid because they did not put it up, and therefore they think that it is not for them to throw it away. The goal is to start a CHAIN REACTION of awareness, making Man think for the first time about what he CONSIDERS OBVIOUS. At that moment, the disintegration of the structure will begin from within. The human psyche is designed in such a way that the truth, once exposed, requires dissemination. It strives to be heard.

One of the main traps of the old world is the ILLUSION of NATURAL, generated by habit. Human behavior has long ceased to be a direct reflection of nature; it is the result of the long training, turned into a norm. Morality is NOT SO MUCH conscience, as much the generation memory about the permitted. It lives not in the highest thoughts, but in deep reflexes, in the spinal cord of culture - and that is why it is almost NOT SUBJECT to doubt. Moral patterns inherited from the time of religious dogma and social archaisms are not recognized as temporary conventions. On the contrary, they are passed off as ETERNAL PRINCIPLES, as if embedded in the human from the beginning. And therefore any challenge to these norms is perceived not as a renewal of consciousness, but as a threat to man himself. An attempt to change public opinion overnight is an EMPTY THING. Most people die in the same ideas in which they were born. Logic is powerless against the force of habit, which has become a substitute for happiness. Fear of the new is fear of self- disintegration. People DO NOT WANT to re-evaluate their views because they are not ready to destroy the foundation on which their personality stands. They run away from the new not out of malice, but out of the need for spiritual comfort, which ONLY THE FAMILIAR provides. The familiar is a synonym for the reliable. The unusual is dangerous.

The mass consciousness does not strive for creativity, it strives for imitation. It wants models that can be followed, rules that can be implemented, and goals that can be accepted WITHOUT THINKING. The unchanging refrain of the time: "Show us what is fashionable, what is decent, what is worthy of respect - and we will immediately adapt." In this desperate desire for identity, humanity imitates meaning. Women scream: "Give us standards of beauty - what to wear, what to paint our faces with, how to look like?" And they get thousands of instructions from stylists, brands and bloggers. Men echo them in unison: "What kinds of cars, hairstyles, watches, and gadgets indicate status? What will confirm my importance?" And magazines confidently answer them: brand, model, style, and algorithm. Happiness becomes a FUNCTION OF CONFORMITY to a model. The more accurately a given contour can be reproduced, the brighter the emotional response. At this moment, a person feels "normal", and therefore, worthy of existence. But behind this imitation lies the paradox of the post-civilization world: THE MORE a person strives for the ideal, SO MUCH THE FURTHER he is from himself. And the more universal the template, the more depersonalized the soul.

Apart from the appearance requirements, everyone is instilled with social standards. From childhood until they turn gray, people are given an idea of what success and happiness are, what it means to be a real woman or a real man, what must be done, and what SHOULD NOT be done under any circumstances. The information is presented under different sauces and in different forms - people are shown films, songs are sung. As the result - information permeates the entire society "to the roots of the hair and to the bones."And now for people this is NOT JUST information, but the HOLY TRUTH. It is not customary to think about such a truth, to ask questions about what and how. Such a truth must be fulfilled.

Man proclaims freedom - as a slogan, as a dream, as an ideal. But as soon as he approaches its very line - he retreats. He is afraid of it, as one is afraid of emptiness, as someone who grew up in a cage is afraid of the abyss. Freud once remarked, "Most people do not really want freedom, because it implies responsibility, and responsibility frightens most people." Man needs an EXTERNAL SANCTION on meaning. He does not believe in his own ability to create ideals. He demands that someone from the outside - a system, a party, a god, a prophet, fashion, tradition - hand him a ready-made route, SET A GOAL, explain how to live in the right way, and give a blessing for the movement. Such Man does not live - he follows. He is like a locomotive that can rush at great speed - but only on rails laid by others. Remove the rails - and he falls over on his side, helpless, restless and stupidly humming in despair. And such are the majority. The Old System PROGRAMMED PEOPLE for the good, but not in the sense of people’ good, but in the sense of the system’ own benefit. The ideals that it has been instilling for the last two thousand years were aimed not at the development of man, but at preserving the System’s OWN STRUCTURE. In this, man became an ant of the social hive - even today, within the framework of the New System, he does not know why he does what he does, but stubbornly does it, because "it is right". THIS IS THE AUTO-MOTOR-LIKENESS of today's human behavior. Man is a program, not a subject. For the sake of fairness, it should be recognized: up to a certain level of development, the interests of the individual and the system really coincided. The System provided structure, security, and a frame limit - and man grew in this, or rather, his BRAIN GENOTYPE developed within the frame limit of the goal vector of the System itself. But from a certain point, the same system began to strangle him. Like the skin that a person has outgrown, but DOES NOT DARE to get rid of. Today, the System is becoming the shadow of the past, to which people still continue to pray. Its auto-motor - likeness still inspires that questioning the "sacred truths" is a betrayal, that asking "do I need this?" is blasphemous, that going beyond the program is madness. And so millions of them continue to live in the rhythm set by the dead past, being convinced that everything is right. They perform actions that were useful yesterday, but are harmful today - and DO NOT SEE this. They resurrect dead algorithms and swear allegiance to them. To see the harm of the system, logic is not enough. You need a point outside the system. You need a question about the goal, about what is good, and about the meaning of life. Without this, there is no liberation. Without this, Man CANNOT distinguish between the way leading to the light and the pathway leading into darkness. He will be eternally faithful to the "rails" that no longer lead anywhere.

As long as Man is deprived of true meaning, he is NOT CAPABLE of asking great questions. He is not ready for them - not because he is stupid, but because his life is reduced to an algorithm, and not to thinking. He lives within the framework of pre-set programmed settings, each of which has the status of the"sacred truth", and, following them, he mistakenly takes them for his own desires. But true desires are not those instilled by the consumer civilization, nor those decorated by culture and supported by fashion, but those that are rooted in the VERY NATURE of being, in the metaphysics of the spirit, in the beating of the living life will. However, these desires are frightening. They seem too unattainable. Confronting them causes anxiety, and Man blocks them, replacing depth with a convenient illusion. The problem of overcoming death is the most striking example. Most are afraid to even think about such a possibility -not because it is empty, but because it is TOO GREAT. When you suggest that people consider immortality as the meaning of mortal life, and ask them to name a goal higher and more worthy than overcoming death, they remain silent or laugh nervously. They have nothing to object to. But they CANNOT accept it either. Why? There is no answer either. The program just does not allow such questions. The program DOES NOT CONTAIN the file "immortality" - and therefore any talk about it is perceived as absurd. It is precisely this deafness that makes Man reliable. He fits easily into the system, he is convenient, controllable. He avoids questions that can shake the foundation. As Dostoevsky wrote in "Demons": "And finally, the most important force - the cement that binds everything – this is the shame of one's own opinion." And so they disperse, these reliable ones, into their little lives, strictly corresponding to the rules, and equally MEANINGLESS - be it a rich life or a poor one, official or marginal - all of them - to nowhere, all of them – waiting for death. It is naive to think that they understand what is happening to them. It is naive to think that they feel deceived. THEY ARE SURE - this is their choice. If you instill in them the opposite meaning, they will turn 180 degrees and will be just as sincerely convinced that now they are free. To see the absurdity of the situation, it is enough to imagine a country where everyone has long worn sheepskin coats. It was logical and convenient. No one ASKED the question: why? It is like breathing, like blinking, like living. And when the climate changed, but sheepskin coats continued to be worn, people began to sweat, get sick, suffer, but they could not refuse - after all, it is not just clothing, it is PART OF THEIR SELF. Once the rational carried weight: a sheepskin coat was put on out of necessity – to protect from the cold. But emotion was superimposed on functionality. Gradually, clothing that protects from the cold became a symbol of the continuity of generations, respect for ancestors and the sacred duty of memory. Thus, a common practice acquired the status of the sacred ritual. The climate changed, it became hot, but the sheepskin coat remained. People continued to wear it not because it was cold, but because IT HAS TO BE DONE. Any rational question - "why?" — was followed by an irrational answer: "This is how we do it," "This is the way our ancestors lived," "This is a sacred thing." And if it is a sacred thing, then common sense is cancelled.

The sacred is not discussed, it is fulfilled. Meanwhile, the younger generation, who grew up in the time of warmth, understood less and less why they should wear a sheepskin coat. But under the pressure from the collective, they wore it. At first, as expected. Then, -unbuttoned. Then, they simply threw it over their arms. Soon, the FIRST DARED PEOPLE appeared who went out without a sheepskin coat at all - dressed according to the weather, and not according to tradition. This was a shock for the trustworthy society. "The youth has completely lost all sense of shame! They do not honor their ancestors!" grumbled those who still wrapped themselves in the garments of past meanings. But the number of "refuseniks" grew. More and more people began to appear in society who dressed according to the season, and not according to the instructions. They could not be intimidated by the past, because they knew the past only from stories, and therefore its emotional burden was insignificant for them. THE SACREDNESS WAS FADING, only the heat remained. We are witnessing the same process today. Humanity continues to wear the sheepskin coats of the past - in the form of moral principles, civilization taboos and behavioral patterns that have long lost touch with reality. People sacrifice freedom, health, and goodness, just to NOT DEVIATE from the ritual. They endure pain and absurdity, but continue to wear the symbol of loyalty to tradition, not even knowing why and to whom they make these sacrifices. But even if someone dares to ask the SACRAMENTAL QUESTION -"why?" - The answer most often sounds magically evasive: "Well, maybe it has to be this way..." Thus, rationality drowns in ritual, life gives way to myth, and nonsense is taken for wisdom. It is like in the experiment with five monkeys, which were placed in the cage with a hanging banana. When they tried to get the fruit, they were doused with cold water. This is how a taboo was formed. Then the monkey that knew about the danger was replaced with a new one that knew nothing. She would climb up to the banana, and her fellows would stop her, protecting her from a punishment that no longer existed. After several replacement cycles, only those who HAD NOT BEEN doused with water remained in the cage, but everyone still followed the prohibition, the meaning of which had been lost. It was no longer a reaction to the threat, but a tradition. The symbol. "That's how it's done." "That's how it should be." But the banana was tempting. And when one daredevil broke the tradition, a chain reaction would occur: from contempt to imitation, from fear to liberation. The experiment showed a universal mechanism: formation, inertia, and DESTRUCTION OF THE NORM. First - a meaningful reaction, then meaningless imitation, then misunderstanding, and finally refusal. For monkeys, this process took a few days. People needed centuries because human "sheepskin coats" - morals, norms, concepts of good and evil - are intertwined with social instincts. They suppress common sense and block the understanding of reality.

To speed up the process, you have to clearly see: KEY ATTITUDES of consumer civilization are fed by instincts. Thus, the sexual instinct underlies ideas about family, marital fidelity, norm and deviation. The instinct of self- preservation is the basis of the concepts of justice, equality, patriotism. These ideas seem eternal, like breathing. They are not questioned by thinkers, religions, or the state. They are accepted AS DOGMA, as the "natural order of things", not seeing that this is the result of specific historical conditions, culture and environment. But the WORLD IS CHANGING. Warmth comes to replaces cold. But "sheepskin coats" continue to hang on people, suffocate, limit, and interfere with breathing. They are not thrown out, because they are "sacred". Because this is the way our ancestors lived, because it's scary without them, because there WILL BE NO "support" without them. But if we show that under these sheepskin coats there is emptiness, and behind the moral screens there is not meaning, but habit, everything will change. The system that relies on them will begin to collapse. Our task: TO LIFT THE SCREEN and show what is hidden behind it. As soon as people see what they did not even expect to see, the system that relies on "sheepskin coats" will inevitably crumble. Its collapse will release a huge amount of energy into our sails.

¹ Kozma Prutkov is the pseudonym of Alexey, Alexander and Vladimir Zhemchuzhnikov and Alexey Tolstoy, under which the four writers published plays, poems, fables and aphorisms. The idea of such collective creativity was born from a joke: the authors wrote fables to prove the "excess of praise" of Ivan Krylov.

³ Conceptual power is a type of power associated with ideas, concepts, systems of ideas that influence society and its development over a long period of time. This power is manifested in the ability of people to generate social processes that change society in accordance with the developed concept. In other words, it is the power of ideas and concepts over mass consciousness and practice.

⁴ The word "sura" comes from the root "sur", which means "fence" and "fortress wall". That is, the suras firmly guard, fence the verses and unite them into one whole

⁵ The Koranic revelations, called "wahy", are the means by which divine messages are conveyed to prophets in Islam, particularly the Prophet Muhammad. These revelations are considered to be the direct word of God, sent down through the angel Jibreel (Gabriel).

⁶ The term "renovated religion" is not well established in religious studies or theology. Usually, when people talk about "renovation" in a religious context, they mean the renewal, restoration, or modernization of religious buildings or rituals.
