A Singular Revolution from the Tower of Babel

I define the mono-revolution in another way, focusing of bad faith non-believers.

The Irrevocable Centripetal Controlling Force

The pearl of you is in peril. Do not let yourself be sold on an irrevocable technical covenant of a Faustian nature, sold to you by people who do believe but do not want you to. The aim of convergence is to make one voice which will override yours, one being which will control you and all - instead of God. Sola scriptura leads to sola codice or code and the soul is lost in the univocal. This is foreshadowed in the loss of Eden and progression to Babel. Even if you think it merely archetypal, we were warned that our desire for ultimate knowledge will lead to loss and instrumentalisation of knowledge without plurality.

The hubris that believes it can conceive and control all through centralisation in a new world order, can only be a devilish enterprise when driven by technical ideas of cybernetics. Those leaders will side with dark forces. Before it ends in disaster (as it will) despite apparently reaching the heavens, many will have crossed over irrevocably. That means that they cannot be called back because they lose the capacity to align with the divine. Don’t become irrevocably committed to denying God.

Yeats had some idea of this with two interlocking spires or gyres constantly moving against each other. Imagine one as divine and transcendent (and yes above or beyond in some way) and the other from the foundation of human construction. The divine spiral moves downward, entering and grounding creation, while a materialist spiral moves upward, seeking to rise by its own power. Where they meet, history turns, God’s descent corrects human ascent.

Why do they want to make stuff the same all the time? Why do all the claims to heterogeneity end up in a massive homogeneity and standardisation, leveraging difference to flatten out differences? It is because everything is being dissolved so there will only be one thing or system left. That standard sameness and homogeneity is the nature of building one system from burghers to burgers, just desserts to deserts. It was in the wilderness or desert Jesus was offered all the kingdoms which the devil seemed to have power over in oneness and this is also a spiritual desert we can enter.

What was the one language underlying the Tower of Babel or which is sought to gain power? Any language has parts. It could be that over time man has discovered the elements. In reverse order, geometry is expression, mathematics represent the grammar or rules and meaning with sentences like formulas, while the binary digital system of ones and zeros forms the letters and words. Thus we can have a universal symbol language and begin to comprehend why esoteric bodies associated with Pythagoras and masonry or Aristotle and univocity know unification is a great accelerant and multiplier. But while machines multiply we will die off.

Dissolution by the Faith of Perpetual Revolutionary Change

Many people discussing religion do so in bad faith for political and financial reasons. Unfortunately many participating in religious enterprises may not be doing so in good faith or even with faith. This is part of the mono-revolution I identified. This describes a constant rebellion against an idea of a divinely-inspired code of behaviour and social rules that are necessary conditions for the individual and community. It starts with transition to monotheism from Egypt and Babylon through Judaism and then Christ-Peter-Paul. The mono-revolution is predicted in The Tower of Babel story, indicated in Psalms and reinforced in all modern revolutions. The object of mono-revolution is to produce one mundane code to create a new world in the Singularity, shorn of the supernatural but with aspirations to a new egregore they think will be godlike with help of defiant spirits. A phase involves the State of the World or World State envisaged by Wells. The One State or Single State was criticised in We (1924) by Yevgeny Zamyatin, the father of modern dystopias, who would support continual revolution including against revolutionaries he had been part of. Both Wells and Zamyatin were against religion. Zamyatin’s fear of entropy of order or stasis led to him arguing for a chaos which could also induce entropy by dissolution. The mono-revolution dissolves everything else, from monasteries to nation states, religions to families and social bonds, to moral behaviour until the human is available for dissolution. Most of all the connection to God is dissolved. Thus postmodernism is technique not description. The meta-narrative is primarily God and the foundation is Christ in the West. Ironically reality of those claims is indicated by opposition and consequences of postmodern anti-foundationalism. Postmodernism dissolves the biggest story so another can come in its place. We lose the meta-narrative and get Meta in reality instead. As with Protestantism, it was not an end but the beginning of another end, a movement to meaninglessness and AI-Posthumanism.

Good Faith and Bad Faith in God

There is a problem when you introduce God. When comedians or philosophers refer to God or religion you must distinguish two scenarios. There are many people who say honestly (including saints) I cannot believe in God, I have no evidence, the God presented does not seem authentic, I cannot find a relationship with God. So you say I don’t or can’t believe in God. That itself depends on definition. If you examine the indication of God in 9^th century Ireland by Eriugena, it is so abstruse and recondite - many who think they don’t believe in God might actually say, I could go along with that. So let me accept good faith of the people without faith (though not looking at evidence becomes a decision). Then there is the second category. They too say I don’t believe in God Many of them set up a straw-God to knock down. This is the usual comic (but serious) atheistic presentation. Even then they often must believe in some way in the God they are rejecting. Many are not saying they don’t believe in God, but they are saying, even if there is one, I don’t want to be bound, I’ll take my chances, even if you proved God existed I’d not obey, I don’t accept or I reject the restraint such a God appears to impose. Figures of Prometheus, Satan, Lucifer, Faust, Cain and so on, all of them, believed in God or gods - even if you don’t believe in any of them. It was not that they don’t believe in God, but don’t want you to. If one has an agenda wherein belief in God stops your activism, such as communism or cut-throat capitalism, you have an incentive to deconstruct the core conception that may impede your freedom to realise your will and desire. While people of goodwill are often in the first category, they become susceptible and vulnerable to manipulation by people in the second, thinking they are in the same boat. You in the first category may soon be in theirs. You in good faith may enter their bad faith. When you are, consequences must come, whether you see it as psychological, psychic, karmic, cosmic, spiritual, eternal, purely personal or mundane. That the second category can also infiltrate genuine believers and the holy, is no refutation of holiness but merely testament to the success of the unholy. Honest disbelief and god-aping defiance are not the same. Bona fides sine fide is not mala fides sine fide.

The Tower of Babel and the Singular Revolution

In the story I Remember Babylon (1960) we get a clue about the thinking of the arch-globalist Arthur C. Clarke and his esoteric base. This helps explain why we are moving towards the Singularity of Vinge and Kurzweil. I was most surprised that a close reading suggests that he and his forces were driven by the Bible they are against. But that makes sense. The Black Mass inverts the Mass. The Antichrist is Anti-Christ. I have explained elsewhere the curious vortex around Bloomsbury, the British Museum and Russell Square (link to my talk on Russell Square). Clarke was intellectually inducted into techno-globalism near there. Chesterton perceived evil was real round there. Lenin, Trotsky and Marx congregated there. Modern magic was born there. I suggest it is all linked in one major story.

G.K. Chesterton argued Christians were in an eternal revolution. That meant that you would be all the time seeking the truth against the wrong. His eternal type is the spiritual cure for ‘permanent’ revolution and or what I have termed the mono-revolution. Permanent revolution in communist dogma, capitalist creative destruction and hi-tech innovation means we will never stop until the end. The washing machine we live in is in a hi-spin before the cycle terminates. I said that if you look at all modern revolutions and older, there is only one, constant. That is against God. In the tradition from King David on, in the West, that revolution has come to be a war against the spiritual base of Christ on which the rock of Peter was based. From Protestant Reformation to Russia, revolution against God’s presence in governance was reduced till zero. The mono-revolution is physical, natural as well as perpetual and juxtaposed by an eternal spiritual natural and supernatural counter-revolution or revolution.

Let me give another term that might suit as well, even better sometimes. We could talk about the One revolution but it is too common. A single revolution may indicate how the world has become a place for singles and not families. That would be a good substitute or complement for mono. But that word is also in the idea of singular revolution. The term singular revolution is a good one because it indicates breaking of society into singles or atoms by an Epicurean atomistic mindset, but more importantly it tells us that it is one, back to the start as I argue. It is one singular revolution against the idea of God and idea of rules linked to that. It must be addressed to Christ because He is a singular event in spiritual and cultural history. The atom and field is juxtaposed against the Logos and one against the One.

The benefit of the singular revolution description is that it points to the end of the line, the terminal we are coming to. This is expressed in the idea of the Singularity where AI passes us out in some way most likely in its permeation of governance systems, as in AI-Govnerveance. That threshold is associated with a posthuman world. Such a state involves what Chesterton foresaw as a strange liberation of humans from themselves. Lewis, Bernanos and many others began to understand what Chesterton was warning about. Wells was clearly the opposition, as was Shaw. Transhumanism, Posthumanism, Nazism, Bolshevism, Maoism, Crony Capitalism and so on are all materialist aspects of a continuing revolution against God, Christ, the created as well as the churches, Catholic and Orthodox therefrom.

Thus the Singular Revolution is a continual revolution from Genesis to Geneva till today seeking to reduce the idea and rule of one God as unified with reason and philosophy, especially as manifested in the singular figure of Christ who focuses on individual equality, dignity and spirit, and which terminates in a uniparty posthuman Single State and Singularity based on reducing everything to atoms and bits.

You could also call it a singular eternal revolution where it is both eternally singular and reacted to. Perhaps revolution is inescapable in order for free will to operate. Though I deduced this principle of mono‑revolution from history, it finds corroboration by inference from Genesis. In Genesis 11, God warns that making one language means people will not stop in the building the Tower of Babel and their designs. In Protestant versions this is altered to suggest if one language is attained God will not be able to stop humans. The mono-revolution was predicted by God. But Protestants changed the identification into an enabling capacity. The Catholic version focused on persistence of the attempt. God says they will continue to the end. The Bible indicates that when humans wanted to deify and exalt themselves they instrumentalised language divorced from truth and Logos to build towards the heavens. Thus God confounds their tongue or unified language. The Pentecost reverses this to proclaim Christ. So we have an eternal divine centrifugal force of mercy against human revolution to separate a short-term fruition of permanent human centripetal force of pride and domination that is followed at Pentecost by a divine centripetal force of mercy to compensate for the temporal but permanent human centrifugal force of pride and domination of empire.

The singular revolution is also a loop related to the idea of reduction and atomism. The philosophical domain of Democritus and Epicurus was the base of Marx and he chose the latter. The logic of atomism is often related to denial of God. However, although it leads to dreadful philosophical mistakes, it is hugely successful as a technique to understand the material world. The fallacy of the Singularist is they believe technical control as governors of a technical system will make them involved in creating a new God or gods. Thus the Singularity aims to replace the single God with the singular incarnation with a technological simulacrum.

The Singularity is made possible by digitisation and the convergence it enabled. This was not an accident but a continual project of the singular revolution. The technocrats who reject God can form one tongue. That enables them to build a tower to the heavens and they will not stop till they get it. The single language forms basis of the Singularity. If that is correct, we can deduce that the intervention suggested in Marian Apparitions may involve a devastating disruption of the entire communications system in the world at some time. Unfortunately pervasiveness of the system will necessitate a force so great that many will not be spared. If you cannot believe any of this stuff, even though many of our atheist leaders do, maybe you can think of our utter dependence on communications systems vulnerable to massive solar activity and volcanic responses. I think the druids shifted to embrace Christianity after volcanic eruptions in AD 536 and 540 which were the beginning of the literal Dark Ages. While your governments are ruining the world, supposedly for the heat problem, we will most likely freeze and their efforts will exacerbate that. Look at Rembrandt and ask yourself why he had so much clothes on then? The inevitable cycle is natural without the supernatural. You might even argue that the supernatural is only warning about the natural but relating our demise to drastic mistakes we have made and our hubris. You can’t forget the concept of God and those who are against the divine never do paradoxically, even the darkest sorcerers.

Univocity, One Voice

Since a single God emerged, people rebelled against the idea and law. This happened even in heaven. Rebellion allows people be unconstrained and live out dreams in this life, getting other people’s stuff and controlling them. Old reliable deadly sins of avarice, envy, gluttony, lust, pride, sloth and wrath explain a lot. That urge makes one revolution in modern form. It is in the story of Babel and revolution against the Lord and His Christ mentioned in Psalms. If we work back from the Russian Revolution’s attainment of Godlessness in governance, we see a single continuing tapering of submission to God and governance. It is argued that Duns Scotus (1266-1308) informed the Reformation trend by his argument of the univocal or ‘univocity’ of being. That meant God and humans shared being in a united category. John Milbank argues this eventually led to secularism. I note the unfortunate ‘una voce’ association. Theology and being itself was less equivocal and philosophy could escape analogies and pointers that existed before. Univocity was Babel perhaps. Maybe that leads the way to the next stage nihilvocal, nullvocal or avocal. Gregory argues such moves led to unintended consequences of Reformation leading to secularisation. I argue the Reformation and most revolutions are one revolt against a single God that influences law. Power of princes grows by intent. That law came from gods was basis of the oldest law, The Codes of Hammurabi (ca. 1750 BC) which were believed to have been received from Shamash the Sun-God in Babylon. Monotheism produced a single law influenced by exile and practice shifted from sacrifice. Revolution is one against influence of one God’s rule. The singular revolution aims to find one code to manage all creatures in one system to replace God in a devilish way. Some think it is an alien endeavour but consistent analysis that predicts this phenomenon is the old reliable one of the intentionally discarded medieval image of the world. You can lose your soul or vindicate its existence and source.
