Does New Zealand Need A Sadhu System?

New Zealand is currently beset with the question of crime and punishment. The country appears torn between two failed approaches to justice: excessive softness and excessive hardness. Swinging back and forth between the two has led to great dissatisfaction with the Justice System and even talk of vigilante group formation.

Our attitude to justice reflects our moral confusion in the face of what has previously been called the Clown World Fork. Our basic morality is torn between two polar opposites: a wretched, pitiful, Christian doctrine of infinite forgiveness, and a sadistic, paranoid, bestial doctrine of utter destruction. Not having rational balance in our moral philosophy, we also don’t have it in our Justice System.

This has led us to a situation where gang member rapists get lighter sentences than people selling food without a licence. Outcomes like this are possible because we no longer have a shared sense of moral philosophy. There is no longer an agreed scale of heinousness, such that different crimes can be readily apportioned a length of punishment.

It’s time for a moral reset.

It’s time to admit that both Christianity and atheism are dead, and that neither are useful as moral philosophies any more. This means that it’s time to start experimenting with new philosophies. It’s obvious that some kind of new balance needs to be struck, between mercy and severity, for actual justice to be done.

In India there exists something that could be described as the sadhu system. In the sadhu system, criminals can repent by living a low-consumption lifestyle with a view to burning off accrued karmic debt, instead of going to prison. It’s a form of public repentance that New Zealand has no equivalent to. Perhaps we could benefit from one?

A New Zealand equivalent of the sadhu system would involve certain criminals, upon pleading guilty to a crime, to agree to forfeit the right to own property for a set period of time. In exchange, their basic food, clothing and shelter needs are met by the state, and they don’t go to prison or to home detention.

The logic is that many crimes, especially ones of property and violence, are ultimately motivated by egotism, and egotism is ultimately caused by a lack of spirituality. In other words, only a non-spiritual person would become so attached to the material world that they thought it was worth committing crimes to advance oneself here.

In the case of some criminals, dilemmas abound. Some are too dangerous to be allowed to roam the street, but at the same time there may be numerous downsides to sending them to prison. It’s apparent that a third approach is necessary.

This article suggests that certain criminals be offered the choice of prison or becoming part of a new, experimental sadhu system based on the Hindu model. This would entail that the criminal forfeit their right to own property or to accumulate wealth for a certain period of time, in exchange for agreeing to live as a spiritual penitent.

Indian sadhus use a lot of cannabis, which is known to be a spiritual sacrament that induces detachment from the material world. New Zealand sadhus could be given as much cannabis as they feel they need in order to develop beyond their innate clinging to the material world.

New Zealand doesn’t have many Hindu temples, so any introduction of a sadhu system might depend on the previous establishment of a national religion that can accommodate penitents. This might involve a new religion for the Age of Aquarius, such as Elementalism or similar. Perhaps funding could be directed to the construction of an Elementalist temple in every New Zealand town.

Elementalist temples in every town would mean that sadhus could travel as wandering ascetics from town to town, staying at the various temples and hanging out smoking cannabis with the Elementalist priests. These priests, trained in true psychology and not mere huckstering, will be able to help heal the souls of the various sadhus.

The advantages of such a system are many. For one, the Elementalist priests would serve as a kind of psychiatric service to the sadhus, helping them understand their place, and the place of humanity, in the grand scheme of creation. They would explain the laws of karma and the possible reasons for a lowly birth in this life.

The inevitable, knee-jerk reaction to this idea on the part of many is to bemoan the low productivity of the sadhus. But productivity and consumption go hand-in-hand. If we’re going to make a genuine effort to prevent the destruction of the Earth’s climate, we need to encourage people to live low-consumption lifestyles whenever possible.

A sadhu system could provide a neat and voluntary alternative path to rehabilitate criminals. We’re tried breaking them into submission and we’ve tried treating them like children – both approaches failed. Let’s try the spiritual approach, wherein we incentivise the criminally-minded to abandon the material world and to work on eliminating karmic debt.

If Darkness Ruled

Have you ever wondered what our world would look like if it were ruled by the powers of darkness? Imagine that the evil and self-absorbed demiurge Yahweh, or Satan, or Lord Mara of the Buddhist tradition, held total dominion over the world. What could we expect to see?

If darkness ruled, we would have evil posing as sanctity, from the lowest of places to the highest places of power in order to breed shadow, to mislead and blaspheme against Truth.

Because the world would be a hellish quagmire of the soul, it would be forbidden to spare a child being born into it, so abortion would be categorically outlawed, as would those in unbearable suffering being provided the mercy of an assisted death. This is an attempt to seize the power of birth and death as its own hellish tool, yet the motives of darkness would be shrouded in a veil of righteousness and sanctity. Those enslaved to the powers of darkness would never see through that holy shroud into the hypocrisy behind it, and they would defend it to the death.

If darkness ruled, we would be told that the highest service to the peace of the world is to engage in warfare and destruction. We would be enslaved to the degree that we would find delight in the tools of destruction, claiming defence of the material body against danger as the highest religion. The darkness would insist by almost unseen increments of cultural pressure that its soldiers become religious fundamentalists in order that their sense of empathy for their enemies is disengaged and their primitive capacity for causing unbridled trauma with no recourse to conscience is potentiated.

Darkness would have learned this from its much earlier experiments in interfaith warfare.

Darkness would entrain a culture prepared to be excited to kill. Being such a skilled liar, the darkness would have also learned the mastery of claiming that the brutality of these wars had nothing to do with inter-religious violence. It would also demand that its subjects carry out the most heinous of crimes against humanity under the banner of what they value most, which is a false sense of freedom offered conditionally by their patriotism for ‘their’ country (they would be convinced they were members of a country, not a world of people). The darkness would have found a way to take what makes them feel special and turn it back into what makes them feel separate, then use that as fuel for violence, domestically and globally.

If darkness ruled, every man woman and child would have the freedom of their souls bound to a new device like a mass-produced weirdstone. This demented implement would nefariously track their thoughts, by watching their faces, as well as by subtle twists of dark psychology tell them what to want and think, carefully implying where their allegiances lie.

It would also bestow great power, allowing them the illusory freedom of temporarily entering other dimensions, and have some of their most obscene fantasies seemingly materialise out of thin air. Such devices would be seen as novelties for the wealthy at first, but would soon be considered necessity even to the most poverty stricken in society.

If darkness ruled, our leaders would not be in the least concerned with communicating truth. Nothing would be more important to avoid. They would first and foremost become perfectly adept at communicating mistruth before any other consideration came to mind. Since truth is like a lantern to darkness, as in psychopathy, their total focus would be fully entrained upon appearing to others how they intend to appear rather than ever once broaching the topic of truth.

What such leaders say must fit their agenda, otherwise it would never be uttered.

Such a trait would be so fundamentally objectionable in any social situation that they would be forced to rely upon entirely different personalities for dealing with humans in their personal lives so that they are not met with a sense of enduring horror. Selective slivers of this human aspect would also make its way to the media so that people were reassured of the leader’s fundamental humanity, despite not realising that this had been a most brilliant ploy.

If darkness ruled, every platform of media would be screaming and shouting with the distraction of what was the least important in life. We would have distraction and triviality marketed to us at breakneck speed, at the most oppressive volume. We would be up to our eyes in the refuse of the world which either comes to rest in our oceans or our brains, never to decompose or be removed unless the most revolutionary of actions is taken.

If darkness ruled, our natural resources would be stolen from us beneath our noses, sacrificing the freedom and well-being of every future child to be born on this planet for the fattening of billionaires’ already swollen coffers. Water that could not be bought would be destroyed at the source by nefarious means weakly claimed in ignorance, destroying the planet’s living systems, enforcing further scarcity onto an already overpopulated world of sad, lost, dying beings.

If darkness ruled, the power of the divine light would have been attempted to be stamped out at every occasion. Powers of darkness would strip the authentic specialness of any occasion to make room for a calendar in which each day is claimed to be filled up with misery and nonsense. The sacredness of nature would be seen as a threat, so inch by inch, it would be razed to make way for the Satanic altars of enslavement and mass production.

If darkness ruled, our ideologies would be so skilfully divided so that wherever your political allegiances lie your hand would be forced to support long-term dysfunction and harm.

If darkness ruled, you wouldn’t want to spend another minute under the spell of such a world, no matter how unwell your mind had been made in the process, demanding a steady supply of sickening thrills and demonic highs. Knowing about it would mark the beginning of the end of illusion, the power of the spell would begin to wane, and the only sane recourse would be to begin the process of detoxifying our souls and healing.

The Cosmic Penitentiary

My mother has a theory that this world is one gigantic prison, known as “The Pen”. This theory is based on the observation that most of the people walking the streets of the West look like the inmates of mental asylums. It’s apparent on first glance that there’s something seriously wrong with most people here – so what’s going on?

This essay will explain from an Elementalist perspective.

Many of us have found ourselves wondering how we got here. Of all the possible worlds that one might incarnate into, what did we do to deserve to incarnate into this one, full of violence, sickness, death and misery? It seems like a punishment to be born into a world where we inevitably die, and almost always in extreme pain.

The truth is that we’re all in The Cosmic Penitentiary, a.k.a. “The Pen”: a prison for criminal souls.

As above, so below: we got put in The Pen for the same reason that criminals in the human world get put in prison. In the human world, society decides that certain elements within it are injurious to the greater good, and so it expels them into quarantine zones that we call jails, prisons or penitentiaries. This is roughly analogous to how the human body expels excrement and urine.

In the cosmic world, elements that are injurious to the greater good are similarly expelled – into lower dimensions that serve as quarantine zones. In Elementalism, these dimensions are collectively known as the Hell Realms, as depicted in the theology of many different religions. This world is one of them.

If we do enough self-inquiry, and are fully honest with ourselves, we will agree that it’s perfectly fair that low-frequency fragments of consciousness are forced to incarnate among their own kind. Once this is accepted, it’s possible for true healing to begin; it’s possible to direct one’s life in such a manner that low frequencies are transmuted into higher ones.

A penitentiary is somewhere a person is sent to if they are too arrogant and need to learn some humility. Each of us have been forced to incarnate into The Pen on account of that our selfish behaviour in previous lives has disgusted God. The punishment for this is to die – that is to say, to experience the utter helplessness of dying and death, with a view to being inspired by this into spiritual reformation.

The beings in the higher dimensions, who we share the Great Fractal with, did not want to have low-frequency consciousnesses stinking up their otherwise pleasurable experience. This is entirely understandable. Public restaurants don’t allow people who haven’t showered for months to stink up the ambience, so why would beings in higher dimensions allow the spiritual equivalent?

We are forced to incarnate among our own kind, whether we like it or not.

In the same way that trashy people attract trashy people in this world, and in the same way that classy people attract classy people, trashy fragments of consciousness attract trashy areas of the Great Fractal, and classy fragments of consciousness attract classy areas of the Great Fractal. As per the Law of Assortative Reincarnation, every fragment of consciousness reincarnates in a world full of similar frequencies.

All of us have a relatively low frequency of consciousness as a result of crimes committed in previous lives. Some of us were murderers, others were rapists, robbers, liars, fraudsters. All of us were odious enough that the majority part of the Great Fractal does not want to be associated with us. But because of our pride we are unrepentant. As such, we have to be punished.

To punish a criminal consciousness, it isn’t enough to subject it to suffering. So the Hell Realms are not full of demons who were created specifically to torment their victims. It’s much simpler than that. The Hell Realms are populated by beings who create Hell around them through their own selfishness. And as such, they punish each other.

A being sentenced to The Pen, therefore, has behaved in such a selfish manner that the rest of reality has forced them to incarnate here, where they are surrounded by other selfish beings, and thereby learn that selfishness is antithetical to Godliness. This they learn from the suffering caused to them by the other beings, all a reflection of themselves.

Proof that this world is one of the Hell Realms comes from the fact that everything here must die, and that we must kill each other to live. Such a grisly reality makes clear to even the most incalcitrant fragment of consciousness that selfishness is against the Will of God. And if it doesn’t? You just reincarnate here again until you do figure it out.

A world in which one must die is a perfect ego shredder. Just as people are humbled within this lifetime by being put in prison, people are humbled between lifetimes by being put in The Pen.

Explaining The Abrahamic Obsession With Anti-Racism And Anti-Nationalism

No-one virtue signals harder than Abrahamists bragging about how anti-racist they are. Some have argued that this reflects a deep-seated guilt complex – the Abrahamist’s attempt to atone before a wrathful deity. This essay will argue that the Abrahamist rejects race and nation for the same reason they reject family: because Abrahamism is an inherently unnatural mentality that perverts all thought and all morality.

For all their disagreements, the followers of the various Abrahamic cults can agree on one thing: cult comes before kin.

For the Christian, this is simply following Jesus’s threat from Matthew 10:37: “Anyone who loves his father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.” Here Jesus, like any other cult leader, rejects those who will not reject their own family in favour of him.

This sentiment is harmonious with the sentiment that, for Christians, there is neither Jew nor Greek, for all are one in Rabbi Yeshua. The Christian abandons his ties to the natural world in order to earn the grace of his universalist god. Yahweh and his prophet Rabbi Yeshua are not pleased by those who maintain the natural consciousness of family, nation or race. All are to be subjugated to cult consciousness.

Muhammad, for his part, is recorded as having preached that “All mankind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab, nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a white has no superiority over black, nor a black has any superiority over white except by piety and good action.” Here, “piety and good action” means, of course, submission to Islam.

This has led some to state that “The religion of Islam forbids racism and racial inequality.” Certainly, the Muslims of the Barbary slave trade were not white supremacists. Like the Christians, Muslims are happy to admit that they consider people who share their cult, but not their race, to be of greater importance than those who share their race but not their cult.

This is why both Christians and Muslim immigrants to the West are constantly screaming about racism. In destroying the national consciousness of their host nations, they achieve the Abrahamic objective of destroying all competing power structures. It’s also why Christians credit all of the achievements of whites to Christianity, but blame all of the crimes of Christianity on whites.

It’s more complicated for Jews. Being both religion and race, Jews lack the self-destructive, self-righteous masochism of Christians and Muslims. But, like their Abrahamic brethren, they still do everything they can to destroy family consciousness, national consciousness and race consciousness. This is why organisations that lobby to increase refugee quotas are often full of Jews.

Marxists, who are realistically just a secular form of Abrahamist, are little different. They seek to destroy familial, national and race consciousness for the same reason as the other Abrahamists – because those are competing loyalties. The Marxist puts his ideology above his kin, just as the religious Abrahamist puts his cult above his kin. Also like the other Abrahamisms, Marxist ideology is universal, which manifests as globalism in secular space.

For the Abrahamist, religious or secular, creed comes before kin, always. In fact, it goes much further. The more you can reject your own kin, the more righteous and holy you are. The highest moral achievement of the Abrahamist is to completely sever ties with one’s blood family and race. Yahweh is a jealous god, and all other loyalties must be abandoned. It must be all Yahweh, all the time.

Highest of all in the Abrahamic moral hierarchy is the one who can impassively watch on as their nation or race is destroyed, or who can even assist in that destruction. To resist the destruction of one’s own kin, in the Abrahamic mindset, is to cling to the material world, and is therefore a spiritual failure. The person who identifies with their blood family and race is the equivalent of the devil worshipper.

Someone indifferent to the destruction of their family, nation or race, on the other hand, can be said to have transcended petty material concerns and become something truly holy. If you can sit back indifferent while your family, nation or race is destoyed and replaced, you have truly achieved divine status.

Like everything else Adharmic, this mentality is an unbalanced phenomenon that goes against natural law, and therefore will not exist forever. The balanced Dharmic view suggests that one’s yin energies might come from one’s physical incarnation, and that one’s yang energies might come from one’s spiritual incarnation, and therefore that the two must be kept in balance.

The mentally ill person says No to life, sacrificing the physical as if it was something evil. They do not play their role as a being trying to overcome challenges for the sake of entertaining the gods. Rather, they withdraw, and neglect their physical, recreational, social and even their survival needs.

The mentally healthy person says Yes to life, and exults in the niche that they inherited from their forebears. They set aspirations, and then strive to achieve them, overcoming the challenges that they encounter. They understand that the material world is not something to cower away from, but is rather the stage on which the play of life takes place.

This doesn’t mean that saying Yes to life requires indulging in all of the cruelties of the natural world.

It means finding the correct balance between spiritual and material concerns. The Elementalist suggestion is to live one’s life to the fullest, but in the knowledge that the material world is not the fundamental basis of reality. The material world is one Great Fractal dreamed up by God for the purpose of entertainment, and the most important thing is to correctly play one’s role within it, whatever that might be.

The Abrahamist fails to understand this need for balance, choosing instead to virtue signal their moral superiority to the material world, which they reject in favour of a promised land in the afterlife. This is a fundamentally unhealthy and unnatural attitude that only leads to great suffering.
