There is a perfect antidote to the World Economic Forum’s demonic three pillars of E S G which are currently decimating the well-being and wealth of our civilisation. It is the three pillars of wisdom of the Greek philosopher Hesiod: Truth, Beauty and Goodness. When those three pillars, T B G, are erected in our heart-souls, the light blazes out of us and the shadowlands of the demons naturally fall away.
We talk a lot about the importance of Truth – saying what we think and doing what we say, in order to keep our Hara lines straight. I’ve also posted about the importance of Beauty, about how Eros is the god that governs that pillar. I haven’t, though, until today, written about Goodness… perhaps because it’s so hard to describe that virtue outside of metaphors, like the aroma of bread baking in the oven, or a Latin mass tuned to G major, or the twinkle in the eye of a baby gazing up at its mother, or the way a bird flies across the full moon…
I think, though, we have to try to define Goodness because just as Truth would overturn the lying E (Environment) pillar of Net Zero until no stone was left upon another, and Beauty would banish, at a glance, the ugly S (Social) pillar of sexual perversion and transgenderism, so Goodness would be the perfect answer to the racist pogrom of the G (Governance) pillar that makes all white-skinned males verbotem.
True Goodness is really difficult to describe. So perhaps we can approach it by defining what it is not: It is not about going to church on a Sunday. It is not about obeying the Ten Commandments. It is not about compliance with dictatorial government diktats.
So is goodness about feeling good? Well, yes and no. When you are in a state of goodness, it is a sentient feeling. However, what we have been taught makes us feel good doesn’t actually give us a feeling of goodness.
Drink and drugs don’t make us feel good; they make us feel something, but that something is not the sublime state of goodness. Masturbating to porn doesn’t make us feel good; it’s just the temporary easing of an itch. Pigging out on comfort foods doesn’t make us feel good; it just makes us fat and miserable.
So it seems that in blindly following the demands of our five senses, in order to ‘feel good’, we just end up in the Desolation Row of disease and depression.
There are, indeed, no short cuts to the wisdom of Hesiod’s pillar of Goodness. It is god realisation, and it cannot be faked. It is the aim of the spiritual path, the path of the shaman. We have to realise who “God” really is to be able to see “God” in our ourselves. When we do, our hearts fill with awe and joy, and we emanate our gratitude, like light, from every pore of our being, and all the demons run away.
