The reality of the present, and the foreseeable future, is that the noble, the just, the honourable, will have to fight against the many who are ignoble, unjust and dishonourable, for otherwise the ignoble, the unjust, the dishonourable, the cowards, will triumph.

Presently, true civilization - the civilization of honourable, rational, freedom-loving individuals - is barely surviving in a world governed by greed, injustice, oppression, selfishness, decadence, cowardice, dishonour, insolence and unreason. A very real war is being fought between those who represent civilization, those who understand if only instinctively, the nexus, and who thus truely respect life, and those who represent disorder, decline, and decadent selfishness. This war is between those who belong to the life-force of this world, and those who belong to the sickness, the disease that has weakened this life-force: a disease which will assuredly, one day, cause the life-force to die were those who belong to the sickness, who are the sickness, to be triumphant.
 

The sad truth is that this war does now and will continue to involve suffering, destruction, hatred, violence and death. But these things cannot be avoided if what is good, noble, just, honourable, and rational is to survive and prosper: if the very life-force of our planet is to recover from the sickness that ails it. We who understand, who know, can only sigh, and be sad, and continue with our efforts to fight this war and bring it to a swift conclusion: to bring about a resurgence, a renaissance, of the life-force itself.

And while we fight, and struggle on, in this war - at present against terrible odds - we can only dream of the world that can and one day must be: when the ideals we fight for are triumphant; a world where human beings have put aside their savage past, and live every day by the ideals of honour, reason, and fairness, imbued as they are by the perspective of Space, by the Cosmic Ethic.

The only practical realistic alternative to this war is for us to opt out of society and, by means such as a new trek or the founding of a rural community or communities, create our own way of living in accord with our ideals, based as these ideals are on the new Cosmic Ethic.
