The Passion in Secular Easter and Praise to the Courage of Free Man Jesus

The Passion in Secular Easter and Praise to the Courage of Free Man Jesus

I stopped attending Mass at the age of 14 and ceased considering myself an atheist between the ages of 25 and 30. Since then, there has been a wandering and relentless drift: antagonism towards doctrine has gradually made way for agnosticism, doubt, curiosity, and eventually, an unconscious pursuit of a different perspective for our weary Western society. This very opulent society has revealed itself as a glittering metaverse, a black hole filled with materialism, utilitarian calculations, and an addiction to manipulating truths, incapable of genuinely embracing virtuous paths.

This preamble serves to acknowledge a self-declared distance from theological themes. On the other hand, the proximity and participation in the educated and responsible community that nurtured me urge me to dare by emphasizing the perspective and progression with which Christianity appears to be emerging in its humanistic roots, secular symbolism, and unsuspected revolutionary mission in response to the Great Reset.

These are controversial themes that should demand erudite preparation and compelling arguments to withstand rigorous tests of source reliability. However, the sense of urgency should erase any indulgence. Fully aware of the risks and simplifications involved, we should take a position that, albeit open to debate, may forge a new rationale and inspire a different paradigm.

Call of duty, Obedience, and Free Will

The Western model of social order, rooted in a sense of duty and obedience to various authorities, (to the teacher, to the priest, to the general, to the boss, to the law, to the government......) has long utilized Christianity as a means of enforcing conformity within civil society. It has been a foundational principle for upholding norms and recruiting citizens as civil soldiers. The conformity reading of Christianity has often clouded the collective conscience, leading to misplaced blame on external executors rather than outing internal instigators.

The current compression of every spatiotemporal friction, propelled by the globalized agenda promoted tirelessly by ruling elites endorsing the World New Order, leads to striking revelations:

  • Evil, symbolizing humanity's relentless impulse towards rationalizing self-destruction, appears pervasive,
  • Good, representing the search for genuine equal opportunities inspired by the superior algorithms of nature, demands courage, determination, and freedom of thought, predominantly reserved for the selected few,
  • Social and economic progress do not necessarily align,
  • The plutocratic elite pursuing global supremacy risks being devoured and expelled by this very planet under their unprecedented siege.

Humanity navigates a complex era where surrendering indisposable rights aligns with the new norm of fluidity. The secular pillars of a system self-promoting flagging liberalism, pluralism, and democracy face trampling live on various media platforms, showcasing an unsustainable disparity in accessing opportunities amid a multi-paced world.

In our materialistic haven, teetering on the brink of a moral abyss due to excessive supply, even non-practicing individuals may not ignore the ongoing essential challenges. Understanding the implications of dehumanization for individuals and families, freedom and well-being, religion and inclusion, progress and evolution, economy and science, nature and humanity becomes imperative.

In a social and technological upheaval prompting a fundamental reevaluation of human-machine relationships, the de-Christianization of the Western world, historically rooted in a pervasive Christian heritage, parallels the marginalization of family life and gender fluidity—collateral casualties in a reckless agenda aimed at erasing Free Will from humanity's collective memory.

Courage and Freedom

Secular Easter rises as an allegorical dramatization of religious liturgy, the apex moment of Christian rebirth; Easter, with the unrepeatable narrative suggestion of crucifixion and resurrection, martyrdom and renaissance, pays the most solemn homage to the individual's responsibility of the right to be free. It celebrates Courage as the cornerstone of the behavior of the Righteous, the centrality of doubt, the triumph of Good over Evil; the fulfillment of freedom over manipulation.

Secular Easter glorifies Courage, which is the ability not to turn one's head the other way, to be faithful to ideals and loyal to fellow travelers... it is the Courage to live life passionately, neither in the reckless undertaking of actions to be immortalized in exciting memories and wonderful images...nor the pursuit of fleeting thrills but in the steadfast refusal of complacency and the cultivation of independent thought. ...the Courage to say no to panem et circenses, if the price of comfort and protections is the give up of dissent and the cultivation of independent thinking.

In summary, Passion in secular Easter cleanses our gaze and calls us to build the last trench against the consciousness' flattening exerted by the manipulations of communication priests, the arrogance of anarcho-capitalist billionaires, the shallow politicians, and the tightrope walkers of data. As an antidote to The Great Reset and a vaccine against dechristianization, Easter calls us like Lazarus to remove the headstone and traces the path to the moral Renaissance of Humanity, a resurgence of Courage and Freedom against Mediocrity and Arrogance
