ON THE APOCALYPSE

OF THE INFINITE UNSEEN

"7Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.

8For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened."

[Matthew 7 7-8]

Not once has the word apocalypse, throughout its long history, signified a calm transition to something different, nor has it functioned by degrees, because it has always imposed the overturning of situations, things, and bodies of knowledge that, before its appearance, were taken for granted.

An apocalypse does not align itself with positivity or negativity as people define them, but, as its shocking nature dictates, it occupies the middle ground, that is, neutrality. Yet we, as creatures who invest in our progress through evolution, are inevitably shaken when something utterly unknown emerges to the surface and threatens to crack the foundations of certainty and security that the current evolutionary narrative provides. This last element is the reason we as a whole so often assign a negative tint to such a trigger, because of the unpredictable consequences and disturbances it can cause in the collective psyche.

But what would happen, theoretically, if there were the possibility to marry the two fraternal components, an apocalypse and the upheaval it brings, and allow them to be forged within us as a defining part of a unified individual expression? Naturally, the content of such magnitude always exceeds the limits of self-control; it provokes explosive emotions; by definition, it is radical, whether with a positive or negative hue. In other words, the possibility of changing completely from passive recipients of an apocalypse to its stakeholders. What would be the impact on our collective identity as we all know it today?

What does it mean to exist as a being who would constantly seek to surpass the bar of the self rather than choose compromise and submission?

Radicalism, however fiery, rarely runs aground from the source from which it springs. When the womb of information is by nature contaminated, and insofar as it plots against our race, then its product will be of a corresponding quality. Therefore, should we consider the possibility of transforming ourselves into beings whose radicalism of an inner revelation does not surprise us but ends up flowing like blood in our veins, or the oxygen our lungs inhale?

That is, for these to become second nature to us through blind trust?

For the purpose this present undertaking represents, the answer must be and indeed is a resounding YES; because every person on the planet, regardless of race, gender, social, educational, or spiritual standing, is by their nature entitled to set in motion a lifelong, fiery natural mechanism. It relentlessly radicalises the intellect, which will henceforth devote itself to surpassing the boundary that once-mighty self-limitations, family and State factors were keen to impose. Based on all of the above, the question arises: Does sound radicalism exist? Is there a way to distinguish it from the contaminated categories?

One need only look back at the long History of the race, with cases in which enormous steps of progress were made. From the philosophers of Antiquity, pioneering visionaries like Alexander the Great, or later, figures such as Ioannis Kapodistrias, and his global egalitarian vision, and even the most radical of figures, Jesus Christ, whose teachings and proposals remain ground-breaking and unsurpassed thousands of years later. The absolutely real source that elevates us on every level is the guide that, impartially, we would all do well to integrate within ourselves for the sake of collective survival.

For millennia our world has been inhabited by two diametrically opposite categories of people, which the more or less familiar divisions of gender, origin, education, wealth, etc., have never managed to blur. The majority are those who spend their lives far removed even from the suspicion of the existence of the aforementioned internal natural mechanism, a, if we may be permitted the word, switch. The flipping of that switch literally has the power to turn our most splendid creations to ashes and to build upon their ruins not anything unknown or new, but something that pre-existed and that the darkness of ignorance had carefully concealed.

The emergence of the unbound, untamed, free, fiery character will not be a distortion but rather the revelation that the surface personality, wholly dependent on plastic narratives of supposed correctness, legality, and, of course, the cultivation of submissiveness that once gave value to now-charred achievements, was prevented from expressing itself as it ought to. The dissolution of addictions, preconditions, fixations and plutocracy, of the egotisms and arrogance of past successes are only some of the radical transformations of this incredible ignition that the few, the minority, have experienced across time. These were permitted to tread untrodden primordial peaks and to meet our ever-invisible Parent who upgraded them, because that hyper-entity is the fiery living womb of all the most sacred and immaculate secrets of our race.

This goes for anyone who sincerely wishes to know their gigantic hidden sibling, their family, which only desires to steel our soul against anything that tramples dignity and offends the purity and integrity that our collective authentic, largely unknown identity represents. Our Parent shares everything and fills us with gifts that overflow from within, while unlocking potentials we did not even know we had.

Having said that, this written project is not a recipe for the acquisition of a specific commodity, nor a step-by-step guide to achieving a goal in a few minutes, but something both simpler and absolute. It is a record of the actual ignition, its long-term effects, the highlighting of a guerrilla direction that the awakened consciousness chose to follow, since those who experienced the change for themselves display stark similarities in their transformations regardless of date, century, millennium or cultural background. The once-faithless, self-declared atheist author, after having 'asked and received,' had to learn and continues to learn, many years later, how to coexist with his revealed 'sibling' who always accompanies him in every decision.

The fire of an apocalypse is a very serious matter for anyone who seeks to kindle it, and its raw power must not be underestimated! It concerns the permanent demolition of once immovable strongholds and shelters and the abundant light that replaces the darkness of ignorance. It does not mean that we should not seek to taste the flame, though. Specifically, to feel the immortal power of the fiery, anonymous light, or, in other words, the Holy Spirit, in seconds, turning our mighty self-satisfaction and the unbearable toxicity that no one dares to admit abounds within them into ash.

May the Holy Spirit illuminate the horizons of all who trust in It. Amen.
