Enlightenment
is the name of the search for approach to reality under humane
conditions. The goal is protection of life, improving living
conditions by avoiding and reducing harm and suffering.
By
acting like this, the nature of mortality is in no way denied or
suppressed, but the reference to reality of all philosophical
considerations in relation to lifestyle and meaning of life is
presented.
Humanity
is gaining its special value and responsibility by the uniqueness and
irretrievability of every individual life.
The
term of “sacrificing one's life” for people, ideologies and
religions, especially under modern aspects, is demanding a new,
really revolutionary definition with an adequate practical
realization. “Revolutionary” doesn't refer to “aggressive”,
but to a, so to speak, evolutionary (long overdue and long-desired)
step forward. The moral justification and explanation is deduced from
the murderous history of the entire humanity. For history, ever
since, is fully depicting oppression, war, murder, and manslaughter.
All the actual talking about peace, liberty and emancipation is
reflecting a permanently wrong picture which is created by ideologies
of power in the functional role of serving the sociopolitical,
national as global aberrations and lies by growing violence and
increasing options of extermination.
The
much-quoted phrase of King Friedrich II from Prussia, everyone can be
saved in his own manner (facon), is just characteristic for an
unfinished enlightenment, a real establishment of the useless
and destroying views of the world. For almost all of the religions
and ideologies are claiming, all in all, to be in possession of the
one and only truth and, even more, to have the right to impose this
truth on other humans enforcing
their
“facon” by sanctified injustice and inhumanity. Social
institutions and charitable purposes should not obscure the facts. At
the level of the international world community, regional ideologies
and religions are hostile to each other, chaotically incapable of
peace and addicted to primacy.
Thus,
if real peace is the purpose, the principle will not be the
superficially pacifying tolerance of unpeaceful delusions but the
clear analysis and invalidation of such world views which commonly
embed the term “freedom” in their dogmatics: The human allegedly
is free as long he or she is willingly integrating, which is nothing
else but being suppressed.
By
submission the individual is weakened, it is extinguished for the
abuse in various missions as calculable mass, as military cannon
fodder, as a steerable conglomerate of consumers or to be exploited
herds of poverty.
The
unceasingly praised “freedom of religion” entirely complies with
the unfinished enlightenment because the “own facon” is a private
matter and no right of public compulsion. At the stage of state it
has no influence at all according to the separation between state and
church.
Of
course, by such thoughts you don't change anything on the disastrous
global relationships of mankind. But at the beginning of changes
there is recognition that, for the enlightened human, is becoming
apparent from the mess of disinformation slapping into the face of
truth, from the agitation of experts and from follies of salvation.
But
knowledge is the basis of enlightenment, hence also the keeping of
the mass stupid, hence the insufficient education and rampant
indoctrination.
Ignorance
ignores knowledge, is fighting it openly and subtly.
Enlightenment
must be aware of this.
Christianity
is divided into countless divisions but it pretends unity and
ecumenism, even claiming to be the “origin of enlightenment as,
without any doubts, there are humane aspects within Christian
teachings. But to stress out such philanthropic wisdoms there is no
need of any divinity but simply a sensitive and logical intellect is
necessary.
Weakening
of Christianity and the secularization facilitated the essential
fundaments of enlightenment which slowly established itself by own
power and intelligence, up to now, with modest influence.
Christians,
like all other totalitarian systems, are claiming to stand for the
“only true humanity” and they systematically lead objectivity,
causality, logic and science ad absurdum, against the richness of
life diversity and against true attentiveness.
Enlightened
humanity, as an attentive humanity, has just a shadowy existence but
it is there verifiably. For the enlightened human there is no
question to take sides with humanity and, as far as possible, to come
into the open without abrading himself senselessly or even
carelessly. The world is needing prudent activists and no desperados.
May
29, 2018 was the tenth anniversary of the first publication of my
admittedly exceptional Cosmonomical Bolg.
Heartfelt
thanks to all companions!
May
any longer even much more people over the world share stimuli and
hopes with me.
Cosmonomy
is describing enlightenment, is offering it as pleasure of thinking,
recommends it as engagement for humane life and outlaws every war
and every myth of nationalistic and “divine" election.
The
Cosmonomic Manifesto is an invitation to all people really yearning
for peace.
You
can find the manifesto in the internet:
When
it is getting ever darker again, there is still something to think it
over.
