From Contradiction to Joy – Article 5: The Inevitable Recognition: Toward the Fulfillment of Thought
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 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…
