Friends have been wondering and waiting… Nevertheless, there’s a “reason”, or a “method to the madness”, or a “symbol” behind the silent waiting…

I have no doubt that the 2024 Trump victory is potentially — in both senses of possibility, i.e., as that which is above and beyond actuality, and also in terms of what might still come to actually happen — one of the most significant (geo)political events of the 21st century.

One of the most noteworthy reasons for this is the breathing room it offers to us dissidents. The system, its minions, its tentacles, and its operations will be completely, desperately scrambling to focus on him and whomever he positions around him. The systemites are in a much weaker, discredited, and targeted position than they were in 2016-2020-2024, whereas he has much stronger positions and a far deeper understanding than back then. Moreover, he has what they don’t have: he has faced death, he calmly and methodically seeks vengeance, and he has nowhere else to go besides prison and/or whatever awaits him after this incarnation. Therefore, the political spectacle will be a real, brutal, unavoidable drama for the first time since… does anyone even remember?

And he shall sow CHAOS, and it will be fun.

Outstanding. Cool. Great. Now, provided that we’re serious men and women who think rather than consume, let’s get back to the underlying and transcending reality at hand.

In this situation, being able to take a breath, the absolutely worst thing that could happen would be that dissidents get sucked into the political spectacle, “retire” to watching the news with smug complacency as if everything is soon to be actually better, forgetting everything that we have been knowing, thinking, saying, and carrying in silence, not to mention everything we have yet to figure out again/anew in the faint trails of our ancestors and in the face of the revelations waiting for humans to come to. Being “on the edge of your seat” in consuming gaze is no being at all — it is not how we started, it is not how the Trump victory was influenced and interpreted, and it is not how you and yours will be able to live meaningfully now or four years from now.

The Trump victory, as enchanting, interesting, “rightful”, and potentially far-reaching as it is, is still but a speck on the timeline, a blot of ink in the book of nature, one play in the World Soul, and most importantly, one grin shot at us from a distance by the Divine at the minute-millennia upon midnight. If this seems to be a lot, it is only because we have hitherto been left with and remain so little. “Clinging” is a real danger precisely when things seem encouraging. I dare to suspect that the Dharma-knowers being brought into the Trump administration know this.
