Few are aware of the danger of our time. Because only few understand the nature of evil and how it takes over reality. The West is so relativistic that the entire concept of absolutes - the nature of morality - is beyond its cognitive grasp.
The source of all his evils, is the willful suspension of one’s consciousness, the refusal to think—not blindness, but the refusal to see.

Evil, not value, is an absence and a negation, evil is impotent and has no power but that which we let it extort from us.

I saw that evil—the irrational, the anti-real—was impotent and that its triumph was the willingness of the good to serve it.

As a being of volitional consciousness, man knows that he must know his own value in order to maintain his own life. To be wrong is danger.

To be wrong in person, to be evil, means to be unfit for existence . . . No man can survive being evil. The end is insanity or suicide.
