The Deconstruction of Man

We have always wanted to hear from the one who “made the heavens and the earth” after and in the time when men can no longer govern themselves whatsoever. When natural destruction and entropy has come like the recoiling of the earth in agony, then the plot of human history and moral actions come to a conclusion. Men like art itself needs judgment. We need critical judgment, which comes from an absolute standard, with a measurement of code and composition.
A good painting often contains a sublime quality which speaks to our tastes, commands our attention and intensifies our imagination. Each object in the world has definition, for we know what we study, we have given a name to each object, whether it be inanimate or animate in nature. We observe life from in our consciousness and make decisions, not in blind illusion or delusion but all things are composed in the rational mind of choice, we view planets and burning stars beyond a billion solar masses, but they do not look up us with conscious minds.
We are the one’s who make determinations about beauty and moral judgments about mercy, altruism and empathy to others. Such exists despite the modern religion of progress and the reductionist schools of thought that have placed man’s thought and life in a textbook definition and therefore devalue the status of humanity to that of mere elevated barbarism.
I do not believe in the religion of progress nor do I give science the religious sphere of hysteria and devotion. We have heard before and right through history that each human being has a “heart shaped box” as the mathematician Blaise Pascal once stated.
All peoples and societies worship one thing or another, it is the crowning passion of a person’s life, where his heart lands after he has thrown it out in front. Even the cultural anthropologist has to admit that society in its core and man in his instincts right back to pre-history has been naturally inquisitive to the supernatural. This curiosity was seen in the early art forms of early societies. I do not believe that science naturally equates atheism, but a belief system or philosophy that comes from the inert choices of the individual. A man’s life is ultimately made up of his choices, that form a long chain of events unto the conclusion of his life.
The futurist dream of scientific perfection that began at the dawn of the twentieth century floundered like a lead balloon in time, from the sinking of the Titanic, through the world wars and the dropping of the hydrogen bomb, man witnessed with cinematic fear and trembling his propensity for destruction, as the media has the ability to hone in on the great levels of destruction on the world stage, but yet it offers no real solutions, other than to pander on negative tones and observations.
The west has benefitted immensely from the epitome of the Christian Gospels. Where else has the work of charitists, philanthropists and abolitionists come from but the moral power of the life and examples of Jesus Christ himself?
Our ridiculous modern pursuit and obsession with the technicalities of human rights have transformed our continent into a legalistic, bureaucratic, web of hypocrisy and single-minded thinking. One will be abused and hated for having said “one has found the truth” or “knows the truth.” It is tragic to think that when the people have been released from the limits and entanglements of the powerful state church (which were both good and bad honestly) that a rejoicing of the generations should commence in a mass abandonment of our traditional core, absolute morality and identity.
I know that in the past horrific things have been committed by those claiming to do the “work of God” but we know that one’s actions betray the true sentiments of the heart. One must practice what one preaches and it boils down to choice, it boils down to the freedom and the power of being a creature with a free-will.
People gravitate in a curious magnetism to where their beliefs exist, men seek to be fulfilled, but often do not fully know the deep reasons for their pursuit and their deep existential tension that lives beneath the layers of societal appearance. The deconstruction of man shall continue, because we are lead through the appeals and enticements of the modern machine in all its seductive force. Laws do not change hearts and recycle men into examples of near-perfection, only a radical alteration of the way we view the fundamentals of life can do this, and this requires the work of the one “made the heavens and the earth.” Meaning is essential to living and the quality of its core, we must not simply exist, but live beyond the life before us into hereafter and this requires a lofty effort but great love exists in the one who made the heavens and the earth.

Paths of life Copyright Robert Fullarton 2015

Paths of life
Copyright Robert Fullarton 2015


We used to love in the fabric of our life
Hidden in our human cave
From the sea of the city
We used to love and weep simultaneously.
Life was different, when we were children,
Our little games, our innocent perceptions
Without interruption
Before the knowledge of war
And murder, and human rage
And declarations of extinction
And condemnations against
The labels of race or creed

Upon the mountain of the night
You looked down upon the kingdom of the day
But you whose deeds were dark
Could not withstand the light
And did not venture into the day
Because such deeds expose
Hidden hearts in time


Cannibals come forth from jungles
And lay waste to village life
Where wells of thought are poisoned,
What devil has seduced you?
To the amour of a sanctimonious slaughter


Who has deformed your vision of life?
So that the thin boundary of good and evil
Has gone beyond your sight
And left you in full possession of your madness

The tears of the witness have turned to stone
Becoming blasé to the name and number
Announced on the airwaves
And the masses are incredulous.

The charisma of power
And the promise of force
Spins round for another generation
Where the gun comes full circle


II


Turning like jackals upon the gnawing marrow
The gun-ho blind boys, playing soldier
Dream of toppling ivory towers
Remember well oh men of war
Oh men of hatred, of annihilation!
The days of earth
Are a self-made broth
For all in time take
A fateful drink,
Be careful
For the days of heaven
are a paradox, a mirror for all mankind
for the adulation of the killer
is turned to reveal the victim’s cries
the former “lords of the earth”
shall be made to lie down
where once they made the innocent beg,
they lie down in beds of blood
for where they made their bed
for the utterly vacant motive
for the utterly empty heart

the wounded bird
lay in the ground
some say it was a phoenix
but no it is a dove
and it shall rise again,
oh soft melody maker
of the day
that flies high in the sky
above and beyond
the stone coronary heart of the decay
where is the way back to my home
i say
where is the way back to my home?

On Modern Media Manipulation By Robert Fullarton Copyright 2015

On Modern Media Manipulation
By Robert Fullarton
Copyright 2015



It is a shame to think that the media of the west today is mostly concerned with matters which are sensational, controversial and dominated by the cautionary language of political correctness. I can safely say that they do not speak for me nor will they ever speak for those who are opposed to the modern zeitgeist. Our era is the religion of “human rights” where all fingers are pointed, accusations are made and all appearances are neatly cemented over in a post-colonial and post Christian Europe. The old solid powers of state and church are diminishing on a wholly conventional sense. Nothing can be done in the modern world, between the swamps of liberalism, bureaucracy and corruption; one can ultimately state that a governmental body will pass whatever piece of legislation it desires, because the people will have no say nor full knowledge of what greatly concerns the fragile situation we are in.

Ours is the time when one can “see no evil”, “hear no evil” and certainly “speak no evil” and call a spade a spade or state one’s mind in a legalistic limbo of nonsensical pretensions. In this age of legalism, where justice is denied on technicalities of legislation, the dogma of “rights” is cried in the face of justice and the moral absolutes that cemented our predecessor’s in place have been removed in the amending of laws and the tide of nihilism that swept Europe over the previous decades. Europe at the present rate and in acceleration will become unliveable.

A society that is based in the relativistic rhetoric, the pluralistic ethos and liberal mindset goes without a solid foundation for which moral harmony can be grounded and held together, such was seen after two world wars with the cynical pessimistic worldview that was garnished with the existential philosophers that promulgated a hedonistic and utterly selfish lifestyle.
Our media is secular and is made up of adherents who believe in a sort of wish-washy utopian idea that all peoples, all cultures, all lifestyles, all practices (of course other than Christianity) are acceptable and placed under one banner in the state. Such a social experiment has failed to a certain degree and full social integration has not come about on all levels of the social stratum. Those who despise democracy and are kept in a medieval mindset of extremism will not be gently persuaded by the comforts of the western world, (despite what the western governments desire) and such extremists ultimately desire to destroy the beloved doctrine of rights and luxuries (which the secularists deem to be “holy writ”) The political power I speak of wants a hegemony or theocracy (which was and will be the most brutal known to all) that is a retrogressive dive into the dark ages and it wants global dominion. Rather than be silent in a world where the western world is cultural, politically and spiritually in a vexatious demise, one must speak out.

The western society which was eager to abandon its heritage, traditions and spiritual identity, is slowly reaching its nadir after the apex of wealth and luxury that had given much, privilege, luxury, social benefits and comforts. In such times of great comfort, people tend to take the spiritual and religious matters of existence for granted.

Media is the modern weapon that yields its audience into a subliminal message, a power that binds people’s attention to a product, to a person or to a way of life. The power of the media is relentless in this age of ours it does not ebb so long as the money keeps flowing. What disturbs me the most is how controlled the media is for a particular agenda that harasses and bullies those who dissent to the constant changes and the damages that have come through the manipulation of the media. The media has helped to shape us into narcissistic clones of consumerism who seek perfection and pleasure, and basically have lost sight of deep truths and eternal hopes.


I do not believe that time brings progress, nor do I believe that the years add comfort, enlightenment or freedom. I know that the de-valuation of our belief system in an absolute morality and in the Judeo-Christian religion has been exasperated by the quicksand of critical thinking, scepticism, cynicism and a sheer lack of understanding. The scholar has the tendency to analyise every matter into disrepute, until nothing can be called solid, truthful or eternal in their language. Man has truly eaten from the tree of knowledge and the fruit has tasted rotten for some time. Man knows that in time, all he can commit adds to the bill of terrible legacies that have scarred the generations and the memories of entire people, until no nation fully trusts another, but more honestly all strangers are in fear to a certain extent of each other.
