On the eve of the anniversary of Daria Dugina Platonova's assassination (20-8-22), her father, Alexander Dugin, as geo-political strategist, and as Platonic philosopher and traditionalist Orthodox Christian, shared some valuable original thoughts that will help us to understand better what is happening on world stage and war, and to commune with him and his daughter Daria, with Russia and the Christian and Spiritual Tradition of Humanity. Here they are:
«Trump is absolutely untrustworthy. He is the very embodiment of being uncooperative. It's an epic fail in everything. But that's not a big deal. If we understand soberly who we are dealing with, we will find a way out. Just no illusions, please. It's not about Trump—it's about the West as such. The attempt to join him has always ended in failure in Russian history. The eras of confrontation with him led to our rise. It is not evil itself that is frightening, but the transition of a person to its side. The West is not a geopolitical, but a metaphysical, religious, spiritual problem. This is a problem of pure evil. A person is free to choose: between good and the West. By choosing the West, a person betrays themselves, their soul, their homeland, and ultimately God.
The West was not always like this, but it gradually became so. It is its fate. In the west, the sun sets; there, before the beginning of time or in the very first moment, Satan fell like lightning. Even a part of the angels chose the West at some point. And fell. "A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand."
For a moment, Trump seemed to be the chance for the very West—the far West—to divert from its fatal trajectory leading into the abyss. But nothing worked out. It was an illusion. And probably, yet another deception, another trick, another temptation. What else could one expect from the father of lies and the misanthrope of the West?!
The devil is impossible to kill, but that doesn't mean we should surrender to him. You have to fight him. To the last. Victory is granted by God. To those who remain on His side no matter what. This is our Russian fate. The West is our enemy. For now, it is what it is. It will change, we'll think about it. And if it turns out to be sincere, we will rejoice. But for now, there is war.
That's why the "spirit of Anchorage" is unacceptable. Not Anchorage itself, but the "spirit." This is an evil spirit, a spirit of betrayal. You can't trust the West.
And Trump is completely incapable of making agreements. The equation has balanced.»
«Yesterday on the program Escalation on Sputnik, I tried to highlight one important methodological point: we (almost) always (almost) do everything with a delay. At the very least, all the good things, and all the bad things, for some reason, happen quite quickly. If we follow this, we will have to criticize every step and get more and more entangled, because no one wants to listen and they continue to be late.
But if we impose a moratorium on this speed argument and evaluate only the direction, its vector, then the picture will immediately become much brighter. With a huge delay, but under Putin, we are doing everything right. Along the vector. We almost never retreat. Almost. And we keep pushing, even if we retreat. We don't give up and we don't lower our hands. Never.
Everyone is shaking their heads, wondering why it's so slow, but if you remove this timing, the picture becomes quite acceptable and even hopeful. It's like high-dimensional cycles. Mercury darts around the sun like a madman, while Saturn moves steadily and unhurriedly. As if frozen, stuck. But that's an illusion - he is following his own path on his own trajectory. We are definitely not Mercury. Something closer to Saturn.»
But even now, half the country is already living in a constant state of war. Of course, now something will be shut down, something will be restricted, something will fall, something will explode. Anyone can die at any moment. There are no more safe zones. And there won't be any from now on.
There's not enough gasoline... This is an important reason to think about whether it is so important for us to be where we are rushing to. Is it a matter of life and death? But in war, everything is a matter of life and death. In human existence, everything should be a matter of life and death.
We need to take everything more calmly: we are all on the front lines. Let's focus on what each of us has done for Victory at this very moment and what we can and will do in every subsequent moment. And why does everyone live on this earth? An important question. If we don't care about anything—about meanings, about the country, about Victory—then we shouldn't be given any gasoline at all. It’s not worth anything at all. That's how a moth lives. Not humans, but insects. Even by internet cards, it wouldn't be worth distributing. At first, the answer: what is the meaning of life, brother? Otherwise, maybe you're not a brother at all. If for you the meaning of life is in comfort and services. And you don't want to think. You don't want to, and no one will think about you. That's just how it is...»
«With the Transfiguration of the Lord! In this feast, the essence of Christian teaching is concentrated. The Lord Jesus Christ is the Eternal God. And His Light is uncreated. Those who have been deemed worthy to behold this Light in their hearts transcend, by grace, the very bounds of creation. This is the foundation of hesychasm, the most inner and mysterious dimension of the Orthodox tradition.
This is the core of Russian philosophy, as the philosophy of Transfiguration.»
May we and receive the Light of the Logos, and contemplate it with our spiritual eye and feel it in our hearts, living it with courage and joy, doxa, ananda, xvarnat (khvarenah).
