The Battle for the Soul of the World

"Our western philosophy has been the theater of what we may call the “battle for the Soul of the World.” … Is it a matter of a battle that has finally been lost, the world having lost its soul, a defeat whose consequences weigh upon our modern visions of the world without compensation? If there has been a defeat, a defeat is still not a refutation." – Henry Corbin, Spiritual Body & Celestial Earth, xiv.

  1. Yup brother, The utopia we are living today is the detailed elaboration of western philosophy which is the leading towards the worse form of humanity .Acceptance is very difficult no doubts but modern man have lost the authenticity of the spirit and the only repair is the complete return to the place where we have lost it.We accept the common failure of not never estimating the gravity of our wrong choices and historical shifts in the beats of blind progression. The only question one can imaging is that the unfolding reveals that there was something behind it that it has got approval from the Only Lord.
