Hoax as an avoidance practice

 

Mystical moods of a person speak about avoiding real relationships with the world, about avoiding difficulties and their own efforts to overcome them, about avoiding responsibility, about striving for an easy life.

In my youth, the idea of changing something in the circumstances of my life by some kind of magical manipulation was tempting for me (that is, acting by unrealistic means, getting a real result). Mystical explanations, such as karmic influences of past lives, energy connections, etc., were also tempting.

All sorts of mystical moods, explanations and interpretations of the "esoteric" kind are nothing more than a way of avoiding one's actual participation in one's real life. After all, when you have found an explanation for your suffering in the fact that you pay tribute to demons with this suffering, or that it is all cursed karma, or it is all a generic curse, etc., etc., then there is no need to make efforts to investigate, realize and recognize how you spoil your life yourself - an excuse has already been found and removed responsibility.

Of course, it is quite logical to try to find at least some ways to influence the world in which you live, and if you do not find real ways, then you are looking for "magical", "subtle", "spiritual", "esoteric", etc. But these same methods also make it impossible to discover by what real means, in what real relationships, you can achieve what you need. All these tricky "esoteric" ways are nothing more than a way to avoid your real efforts, real relationships, real conflicts, real pain from coming into contact with the real world.

Let me clarify that this is not about denying the mystical (that is, the mysterious, the unknown, the unknown). Of course, there is also something that is little or not known to science at all, there are extraordinary capabilities and abilities, there are experiences that are difficult to fit into ordinary concepts and that are difficult to describe. It's not about that. It's about the desire to mystify, about whipping up mystery instead of sober research.

In other words, mystical moods of a person are most often diagnostic: they indicate that a person is being eliminated from his life in search of devious ways, about the desire to live in such a way as not to enter into real relationships with real people, with the world, and with himself; to live in such a way as not to realize his own responsibility (and not to be guilty of your troubles, to be right and good); to live in such a way as to get what you want with a minimum of effort (and ideally, not by your own efforts at all).

Assassins

  This phenomenon of the medieval Muslim world is well known in Europe. They came to court at the time of the heyday of orientalism in the XIX century. Overgrown with numerous legends. They became objects of mass culture in the XX and XXI centuries. One of their names migrated to English as a common name and denotes a political killer there. It is about this remarkable sect that our conversation today will be about. Origins  The history of Islam is a list of schisms, big and not so big. It all started in 632, when Muhammad, the Muslim prophet and founder of this religion, died. Inspired and united by the deceased Arabs, the main conquests and successes were still ahead. But first they had to overcome the first serious test – the division of inheritance. Immediately, the election of a caliph who would lead all Muslims began, and continued expansion. Not without intrigues, swearing and pressure, the Quraysh tribe won in this process – the first 4 caliphs were just one of them. T...
