Alexander Solzhenitsyn gave the most controversial speech *against* Western Civilization at Harvard in 1978. As a survivor of the Russian Gulags, they expected him to praise the West. Instead, he made a jarring accusation: The West is a dying civilization. If it doesn't change its ways, it is doomed to collapse. In fact, he said this has been the case for 500 years, when the West made a crucial mistake: "How did the West decline from its triumphal march to its present debility? ...the mistake must be at the root, at the very foundation of thought in modern times. I refer to the prevailing Western view of the world which was born in the Renaissance… I refer to humanism — the proclaimed autonomy of man from any higher force above him." Solzhenitsyn said humanism made man autonomous from God, Truth, and objective morality. If all morality is subjective, then man has nothing to live nor die for. Naturally, he loses his courage, embraces materialism, and grows effeminate to modern evils. So, what is the solution? A return to belief in a transcendental morality under God: "If, as claimed by humanism, man were born only to be happy, he would not be born to die. Since his body is doomed to death, his task on earth evidently must be more spiritual… The fulfillment of a permanent, earnest duty so that one’s life journey may become above all an experience of moral growth: to leave life a better human being than one started it." All cultures live, or die, based on their respect of the True, Good, and Beautiful. To save the West, Solzhenitsyn says start with beautifying your soul, for that is both how you live well, and begin to make civilization itself beautiful again.

I spent 25 years in spiritual exodus. Started in new age, then to deep witchcraft, conjure, and the occult. I was ordained to the highest level of priesthood in an ancient indigenous African religion. I was a professional astrologer, medium, and conjurewoman. I was known and respected. I taught classes. I studied under the most esteemed elders in every field. It. Was. My. Whole. Life. A few years ago, I felt things changing. Not only in the secular world, but the spiritual. Things were getting darker. Positive work wasn't sustainable. It wasn't lasting. Protective work was less effective, increasingly. Not just for me... for everyone. The people were changing--they were becoming more hostile, tribal, suspicious, losing all judgement and restraint. The spirits were changing--they weren't playing by rules which were widely seen to be foundational, unbreakable, and thus relied on for "safety." It was as if positive spirits were showing their duplicity, and negative spirits were getting stronger. I began telling people who came to me for advice that if there was any way for them to be Christian... that's what they needed to do. That they would be safe there. Because, despite all the knowledge I had gained over those years... everything stopped working. Except for one thing. I'd only reach for it as a last stitch effort. Because I was so invested in it NOT being the only true way. That was the name of Jesus Christ. I am not going to tell you that the things I did were fake. They weren't. Those spirits? They're real. They're powerful. They're out there. But... they are not what they claim to be. And we have no way of discerning their intentions, their capabilities, or their lies from truths (yes, they can tell both). They don't answer to us. They don't fear us. They don't obey us. There's only one thing they responded to, every time. Only Jesus. So I started sending people to Him. I thought it was too late for me. That I was too far gone. That I had forfeited my right to return. That I was... unredeemable. I was wrong. I searched all over this world, and the next, trying to prove that there was another way. Take my word for it... there is not. Only Jesus, my friends. Only Jesus.

I’m a big fan of AI. Ancient intelligence.

Once your culture is gone, it isn't coming back. If the schools and universities won't teach us the great books of the West, we will do it ourselves. We are forming an independent group dedicated to the study and preservation of the Western canon of literature — the books that built our civilization. If that sounds like something you'd like to be part of, please join us. We tackle a new classic text every month. Currently, we're reading Virgil's Aeneid, and discussing it together. We meet biweekly.

My most expensive Hardback is $14.49 and my most expensive paperback is $12.99. This IS the cheaper end, as — after processing fees and the cost of shipping — indie authors barely make a profit. You can complain all day about our prices, but we authors put years into these books.

A lot of meetings to transform El Salvador into a regenerative country. Less chemicals. Healthy soil. Better food. It’s as simple as that
