The sick of soul

 "For they have a zeal... but not according to knowledge".

"I'll pour this pestilence into his ear". Iago - Othello.

Most zombie films bore me. I guess it's because the genre is best served when you can add something genuinely unexpected into the mix, so que Shaun of the Dead! One personal exception to this proved to be the Scorch Trial series.In a totally dystopian and decimated world, it made sense that the real trouble was an engineered virus that turned normal people into monsters.

I say all this by way of pre-amble to recently coming across the work of Peter Boghossian. Peter has spent a great deal of time travelling around university campuses in America seeking to engage with students in respect to their views and how easy it is to express these in a public manner. His conclusions are whilst there are certainly a diversity of views to be found, many of these are not allowed to be openly expressed and discussed because of the dominance of those on campus who seek to hold and steer such realms to their woke message.

This, he notes, is a cancer that is killing the country.

The dreadful truth in this is that we are seeing a generation that has entirely lost its place, because it has become rootless.

In a fascinating extrapolation derived from reviewing Douglas Murray's new book, Richard Grannon examines what has happened to the essential nature and state of those who have given themselves to this movement. He concludes they have placed themselves into a state that is essentially the worst of all worlds - people who have buried their vital nature beneath a mountain of lies that have to be held to avoid truth.

The consequences of all this painful in the extreme. In this short video, Doug Wilson astutely comments on Jordan Peterson's righteous, angry response to the social raping of an entire generation.

These are the very core issues we are facing, but so few are willing to engage with these in the manner that is necessary.

What Boghossian, Grannon, Murray, Peterson and Wilson's comments all share in common is that they point to a far more deadly virus at work amongst us than anything caused by climate change or the recent pandemic. That richest 1% have decided to grasp everything for themselves and leave the rest of the world sinking in the mire of an acidic political correctness that deems anything which genuinely brings wholeness in society as evil and thereby due for immediate extinction.

The growing cult of social self righteousness is the weapon our times is encouraged to employ, continually, to murder itself in a miserable mantle of guilt and unrelenting shame, whereby we are enslaved into a misery of inherent extinction - having no worth, no identity, say that of what is 'defined' for us by the 'message' of the day.

Beyond the corruption of now, outside of the negation of ourselves to the blankness of the present moment, there is a health that cures each and all of the cruel incarceration so murdering this day. The vital reality is that another kingdom, a brighter day, a heavenly and eternal reality, has already broken into the hear and now, and if we can but glimpse that healing, we can be set free, forever, from the destruction that is eating us alive.

It is time for us to look to a truth far deeper, higher and richer than the abyss that is tearing apart our wrecked and violated world. Jesus Christ provides the answer.
