Mysticism

Humanity imagines that it can steer a straight course; illogical towards the severe supernatural forces that spur such errant themes. This unawareness acts like a yoke, guiding the common herd that links everyday calamities with miracles. Six-thousand years of vain strivings, divisions. Yet today, there is common bewilderment respecting the cruxes of life.

Global suffering despite God’s providence, blessings amounting to essential food, water, shelter (indeed, humanity controls these things but does not create them). And it becomes apparent that everybody does not warrant even minimum protection. One must bend the knee in worship of self-styled lords over creation and endure servility. To camp followers exalting obedience to the second estate, this is sensible, righteous living. Freedom sold for a song. How marvelous!

Peace remains a deliberate outlaw. Or is it a chance that illuminates improved warfare? Fortuitous that non-combatants make up most dead and mutilated during armed conflicts? Fawners in reputed developed countries abide in wonder amid these circumstances that prevail on the conscience like a tidal wave upon an oceanfront. Given the spike of wholesale cruelty towards human life, inveterate self-indulgent creatures may put aside their racial, ethnic, gender pride crusades—sweeping across the landscape like whirlwinds—and petulant national political party concerns to conduct unified focus, formulation, and decisive action against this damning craze towards malice and indifference. Alas, the host remains perplexed in the light of these tribulations, thus retreats further into darkness; sheltered from scorching realities.

So fanciful notions of deliverance from politicians intrude upon the psyche. Yet, wealthy donors and the ruling elite (forming the rear of the governmental body) carefully craft and coordinate universal immoralities. As for denizens, loyalty transcends intelligence, therefore. Respecting the evidence would mean confessing to inapt trust, plus a confrontation with one’s inability to act accordingly (oh, a decadent faith). Rather, forge a prescription which induces visions of political candidates as faith-healers, possessed with transcendent qualities that will abruptly usher in prosperity. Whence these attributes, why a select few?

People hold an intuitive sense of bliss. Alas, blind to what they see (their exaggerated selves), individuals desist and conclude morality, ethics, and nothing else. Furnishing high moral codes may seem plausible to the irreflective mind. However, analysis of the historical record, along with present reality, insinuates bleak prospects. Leastwise, impure thoughts precede harmonious actions. The faint-hearted hold that these indelible wicked thoughts are peripheral, even inadmissible. An inane postulate, borne of cowardice, for the annals of history alone serves as a glaring indictment.
