Post 34 – The Unfolding of Eternal Necessity: Technology, Destiny, and Religious Eschatologies

The Unfolding of Eternal Necessity: Technology, Destiny, and Religious Eschatologies

In the previous article, we explored how technology, as a manifestation of nihilism, exposes the illusion of transformation and affirms the ultimate necessity of eternal being. This article continues by examining the necessary unfolding of the Structure of Being—also known as destiny—and how it contrasts with religious eschatologies. We will also discuss the Recognition of Necessity, which unveils truth and infinity, dissolving all contradictions and errors within the eternal order of being.

The Necessary Unfolding of Being: Destiny

The unfolding of the Structure of Being is not a process of change or evolution but the manifestation of what has always been. This is the essence of destiny—not a linear progression, but the eternal necessity of being revealing itself. The belief in transformation is the final illusion, which dissolves when the unfolding of eternal being becomes apparent. What appears as technological “advancement” toward a perfected future is merely the outward expression of a deeper truth: nothing truly changes, and all is as it must be.

Destiny and Religious Eschatologies

Many religious traditions contain eschatological visions of the end times—events in which the world is transformed and reaches its ultimate fulfillment. Christianity speaks of Christ’s return and the establishment of a new heaven and earth. Hinduism’s Kali Yuga leads to the destruction of the world, followed by a new cycle of creation. Islam anticipates the Day of Judgment, when ultimate truth will be revealed, and the righteous rewarded.

While these religious eschatologies anticipate a transformative end, they share the underlying assumption that reality will undergo a radical alteration or that humanity will transcend its current state. This assumption mirrors the deeply ingrained human desire for progress—the expectation that meaning and fulfillment lie in a future event. Yet from the perspective of the Structure of Being, destiny is not about future transformation but the revelation of what has always been.

Religious eschatologies, though profoundly spiritual, often reflect a misunderstanding of the eternal order of being. They may intuit the presence of an eternal truth but obscure it with the belief in becoming. Christianity’s final judgment suggests that humanity must undergo dramatic change before reaching its ultimate destiny. Hinduism’s cyclical vision, while capturing the repetition of appearances, still assumes an ongoing process of renewal. Islam’s Day of Judgment places ultimate truth in the future, as a decisive transformation of the world.

Yet, despite these differences, religious eschatologies bear a striking resemblance to the Structure of Being. They point to a final unveiling of truth, the recognition of the eternal, and the resolution of contradictions. The key distinction lies in the notion of becoming. Religious traditions frame the end as a transformation—a passage from one state to another. The Structure of Being, however, reveals that what appears as transformation is merely the necessary unveiling of an eternal truth that has never ceased to be.

In this sense, religious eschatologies, while tied to the illusion of change, contain an intuition of necessity. They sense the inevitability of a final revelation but misplace it in time, as a dramatic event. In contrast, the Structure of Being reveals that the true “end” is not something yet to come but the recognition of the eternal that has always been, dissolving the notion of time-bound transformation.

The Recognition of Necessity: The Appearing of Truth and Infinity

The Recognition of Necessity is the full realization of being’s true nature—not as a future event, but as the eternal truth that has always been. This recognition is the appearing of truth and infinity, where all appearances of change and transformation dissolve. The errors that portrayed the world as in flux are revealed as misunderstandings of eternal necessity.

This recognition is not a sudden event but a continuous unfolding of what has always been present. It is the appearing of infinity—an eternal truth beyond time and space.

Technology as the Manifestation of the Eternal

Technology’s development is not about human progress or mastery but the necessary manifestation of eternal being. As technology advances, it forces humanity to confront its mistaken belief in transformation. In reality, technology is the appearing of eternal necessity, revealing the very contradictions it sought to resolve. The errors in technological assumptions—such as the belief in progress—are not to be discarded but are necessary steps in the unfolding of truth. Without these errors, the truth of being could not appear.

Technological progress does not create something new but reveals the eternal state of being. As humanity turns to technology, it is not seeking transformation but attempting to unveil what has always been—seeking the recognition of necessity in the present moment.

Conclusion: The Unveiling of Destiny and the End of Becoming

The unfolding of the Structure of Being is not about change but the necessary appearance of eternal truth. Technology, religious eschatologies, and all notions of transformation are revealed as mistaken assumptions of a world caught in the illusion of becoming. The Recognition of Necessity unveils the eternal truth of being, resolving all contradictions in perfect harmony.

As humanity approaches this recognition, it will no longer seek transformation but understanding. The technological era will expose the impossibility and irrelevance of change. The only true progress is the unveiling of eternal necessity, which has always been and always will be.
