The Unavoidable Necessity of Recognition The path we have traced—from the fundamental contradiction of nihilism to the infinite resolution of Being, from the dissolution of the tragic view to the fullness of glory—reveals a singular truth: recognition of Being is not a matter of belief or interpretation but the inevitable unveiling of what has always…

Post 20 – The Earth That Saves: The Overcoming of Nihilism
The concept of the “earth that saves” was introduced by philosopher Emanuele Severino, as discussed in the previous post. Building on that foundation, we now turn our attention to a deeper exploration of this idea. The “earth that saves” represents the realm where the truth of Being is fully revealed, transcending the nihilistic illusion of…

Post 18 – A Person, Their Moments, and Eternity
The Eternal Nature of Moments and the Illusion of Becoming According to the “Original Structure,” every moment is eternal. No moment arises from nothing or vanishes into nothing to make way for the next, as a nihilistic perspective assumes. In this view, a person is the totality of all their eternal moments. But how is…
