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.
