KANTNIET: WHEN THE MIND MEETS GOD

-

 

In a reality far more complex and wondrous than reason alone can contain, man, through reason, arranges his ordered tiles on the carpet of life, which GOD promptly disarranges.




Kant had erected the austere edifice of Reason against the unpredictable tides of love, a cold and glittering citadel, a meticulously ordered garden. Before the tribunal of the categorical imperative, love would have been condemned to become a mere duty, almost a guiding light.


But love between two souls is a burning fire, an unstoppable frenzy, a feverish passion, a leap of irrational passion, a chaotic wave that overwhelms everything. Nietzsche, the philosopher of the hammer and the noon, would have placed love in the box of the will to power. But even the will to power collapses before the Will of GOD. Job lacked the will to power; only God pulled him out of trouble. Job 42:10.


Love is a vital force, almost a creative impulse: When you love, you don't think; you are. You don't calculate; you create. A feeling is not a syllogism. The intellect tries to divert the course of the river of love to control it, but the irrational overflows wherever it wishes.


In a world made predictable by the desire for certainty, love is unpredictable, a force capable of detaching the order established by rules. Reason seeks to build the perfect city; love desires a wild and untamed forest.


Water that turns into wine and the dead that are resurrected break the causal chains of reason as it searches for the cause. The cause is the Holy Spirit. The power of GOD, the power of faith. Reason is turned upside down because the functioning of reality is called into question.


Man and reason have found their limit: GOD. When GOD meets man, the mosaic of human understanding is enriched because it begins to reflect towards a more complex and wonderful reality.

THE FALL GUY

It's difficult to play an intelligence game where you don't know where the pieces are. Mr Genzman: Would you characterize Oswald as a possible counterintelligence threat? Mr Jones: I considered him to be a counterintelligence threat at any time that he would have been in the area that I was responsible for operations. Mr Genzman: on the day of the assassination, did you know that Lee Harvey Oswald was located in Dallas? Mr Jones. No I did not. Colonel Jones, officer in charge of the 112 MI group in 1963, did not know that Oswald was in Dallas on November 22, 1963. Lee Harvey Oswald or Alek James Hidell, someone with an Intelligence-rich background. A piece that someone knew was in the city of Dallas. The name Lee Harvey Oswald and the name Alek James Hidell, hides within themself the name of the city of Dallas. L ee H a rvey O s w ald = DALLAS      A lek J a me s Hi d e ll = DALLAS Oswald, which of the two doubles? A marine? A communist? A Marxist? A...

THE GHOST IN THE MACHINE

  Like a master weaver, intelligence gathers threads of data, transforming them into the rich tapestry of insight     Which man knows all the answers? You must create an artificial celestial map. A borderland. Of course, the sublime and wonderful, the transcendental and the valuable, the wonderful elegiac can hide even in coffee and bourbon. In fact, the great revolution of the Intelligence essentially consists to have taken the individual vocations of its team – be able in a certain way – has led to unity the individuals ferment, the elective affinities.   The Ghost in the machine: apparently cold and gray, with an innate ability to capture the essence of the events. The Ghost's claim –  Sacrificium intellectus  – to make  Intelligence  a kind of method of knowing, that glimpse him with deep awareness of the critical operational needs.   In the actions and human wills, that are always subject to the –  finite limit...

MULTIPOLAR WORLD: THE POWER IN MANY HANDS

-
Image
"The compass of power no longer points north, but spins, catching glints of ambition from every horizon."  For decades, the world order operated under a relatively straightforward power dynamic. The Cold War pitted two superpowers against each other, creating a bipolar landscape. Then, the collapse of the Soviet Union ushered in an era of American dominance, a unipolar moment that many believed would define the 21st century. However, the global stage is now undergoing a profound transformation, shifting towards a multipolar world, where influence is increasingly diffused among multiple centers of power. Today's multipolarism is more multifaceted, encompassing economic, technological, and soft power. Today, while ideological differences exist (e.g., democratic vs. authoritarian systems), the global ideological landscape is arguably more complex and less binary than the Cold War's clear divide. "In the grand orchestra of nations, no single conductor holds the ...
