Kali Yuga — the age of spiritual degradation — can only end with a catastrophe, because only a catastrophe can ensure the radical transformation of humanity's worldview that will ensure the beginning of Satya Yuga.

“Pure immanence without Transcendence remains nothing but deaf existence. ... Transcendence does not enter into a blind soul.” — Karl Jaspers
It's undeniable that we are living in the age of spiritual degradation, also known as Kali Yuga, the West is being led by the agents of the Shadow and they are dragging the whole world into the abyss. Those who still have the light of faith must not fear the end of this dark age.
The West exists only to teach the rest of humanity the lesson of mass insanity. If our species survives the coming Catastrophe, this lesson will be remembered for millennia.
Although we pride ourselves on having conquered nature, we are in fact its hostages, for we have not even learned to control our own nature. Slowly, but, it seems inevitably, we are breeding catastrophe.
— Jung
During the Cuban Missile Crisis everyone knew the world was on the brink of WW3, the fear of nuclear war prevented the end of the world. Now we are on the brink of WW3 again, but few people seem to care, there is no fear of nuclear war. These are the perfect conditions for the Catastrophe.
"Naïveté is the rebellion of the originally natural sincerity of mankind against the art of pretending that has become second nature." — Immanuel Kant
It is true that historically Russians are very open and naïve, and our enemies abuse our openness and naïveté. They think they benefit from that, but that’s pure shortsightedness.
The West has betrayed and lost Russia, and they already begin to enjoy the karmic response. The worst is yet to come.
The West-Russia conflict is much deeper than it seems—it is the conflict between the godless anti-traditional civilization, in which the features of the Antichrist civilization are becoming more and more clearly visible, and the civilization of the faithful of all denominations.
To be anti-modern is to undertake the only effort capable of success to save the West from its own degeneration.

Undoubtedly, the Orthodox Church has preserved much more than the Catholic Church; in particular, it has preserved to the present day a genuine initiatory transmission in the form of Hesychasm, which seems to be directly linked to the Desert Fathers.
— René Guénon

Transcendence of all religions, including Buddhism, is the same Transcendence. The mystical (transpersonal) experience of Transcendence — the experience of the transcendent Light — is the same experience. Only the conceptual objectifications of that experience — the stories we tell each other about Transcendence — differ.
From the point of view of philosophical faith, every religion is a symbol of faith in Transcendence, not an objective knowledge about Transcendence, which transcends the subject-object dichotomy, and therefore cannot be objectified, no statement about it can be considered an objective knowledge. Only faith and mystical experience of the Light are possible about Transcendence.
Philosophical faith is the bridge of mutual understanding between all religions.
Atheism is a mental illness, for to deny Transcendence means to deny the nature of one's existence and the existence of the world — the nature of transcendental subject and phenomenal objects.
The constant decrease in the number of believers and increase in the number of atheists in the modern world speaks of the terminal stage of development of our civilization.
Kali Yuga.
On the way from the Renaissance to our days we have enriched our experience, but we have lost the concept of a Supreme Complete Entity which used to restrain our passions and our irresponsibility.
— Solzhenitsyn, 1978

After reading the Old Testament, I am not surprised by Israeli brutality, it is all in their book that inspires them.
No one ever proposed evil ends: evil is always disguised as good, and detracts from the good.
— Nikolai Berdyaev
Watching the opening of the Paris Olympics: René Guénon was right, this is Kali Yuga. Literally. The West is hijacked by satanists. It's undeniable. That's why they hate Russia so much: we are an island of sanity on the way of their insanity striving for globalization. We must stop them at all costs
A normal civilization ... can always develop without posing any danger to other civilizations; aware of the exact place it must occupy in the whole ensemble of earthly humanity, it will adhere to it and create no antagonism, because it will have no claim to hegemony...
— René Guénon
Assuming that we have any descendants, they are likely to view us as we do the European elites before 1914: trapped by their inherited culture and institutions, they pursued policies that seemed rational to them, but in retrospect look completely insane.

...According to all ... traditional doctrines we have entered the last, final stage of Kali-yuga, the darkest period of this "dark age", the epoch of dissolution, from which it is possible to come out only through a terrible cataclysm.
— René Guénon

Humanism was the first form of what has subsequently become contemporary secularism; and, owing to its desire to reduce everything to the measure of man as an end in himself, modern civilization has sunk stage by stage until it has reached the level of the lowest elements in man and aims at little more than satisfying the needs inherent in the material side of his nature, an aim that is in any case quite illusory since it constantly creates more artificial needs than it can satisfy.
— René Guénon
