The virtues of metaphysical hatred

 

556/303

You cannot claim to love the Light (نور) if you have no idea what the darkness (ظُلمة) or fire (نار) is and, first, resist it as you absorb the Light and then marshal this Light to absorb the darkness as well (Jung doesn't quite explain this process and dynamic very well because he nor his acolytes actually understood the process themselves properly). There is indeed a dialectic at play in the dramaturgy of life in this spatiotemporal universe whose Synthesis and resolution is already-always God. But where you stand in this dialectic determines everything; and anyone who asserts differently, has not understood anything. Perhaps this is yet another underlying reason for the contemporary explosion of mental illness in our times because people have become confused about the basics and have lost sight of fundamental boundaries between Good and evil. Contrary to the molly-cuddled and nonsensically hypocritical pseudo-ethics taught by mainstream Western Christianity and its secular Liberal offshoot (all of which Nietzsche rightfully lambasted against as being the slave morality and which has been normalized by the New Age as well: a pseudo-ethics that is more of a reflection of the duplicitous value systems of the middle and ruling classes of the West who say one thing and do another); in fact as the Avesta, Matthew 23 of the synoptic Gospels, a few of the Gnostic gospels, the Qurān, Shi'i hadith and the Bayān all teach, hatred of inversion and its representatives in the world possesses supreme virtue and is a Manifestation of Love. Cursing inversion and its representatives as a ritual act is therefore a high act of faith. In other words, there is such a thing as metaphysical hatred and there is deep abiding virtue in its practice. To quote the Apocryphon of James (Nag Hammadi library) <http://gnosis.org/naghamm/jam.html>: 

Come to hate hypocrisy and the evil thought; for it is the thought which gives birth to hypocrisy; but hypocrisy is far from truth. 

-- The Apocryphon of James

In Shi'ism hatred and Love form the twin pillars of the praxis of Tabarrā (disassociation/disavowal) and Tawallā (Love/fidelity to the Imām) which itself is a manifestation of the secret of the tahlīl (i.e. the testimony to the divine unity, or saying 'there is no god but God'). Tabarrā represents the repulsion of the acosmic ignorance and its negation (نفيّ) and is the manifestation of the reality of the phrase of negation "there is no god" whereas Tawallā is the absorption of the Light of the Hiero-Intelligence/Nexal Consciousness (عقل) which is the Manifestation of the phrase of Affirmation (إثبات) "except/other than God". Together these two phrases form the tahlīl that indicates the Mystery of Tawḥīd (the divine unicity).

            As such whosoever says that hatred is unspiritual has not understood the Spirit. The issue is not whether hatred is unspiritual, because it is extremely spiritual. The issue is always the object of this hatred and the reasons therein, and this subtlety and nuance becomes the difference between Love and its negation!

O God, curse the people of Hot Air and their founder, the false idol, with vengeance and fury; and bless, O God, the Primal Point, His Guides of the Living, His Pre-Eternal Mirror and those who believe in Them with exaltedness and majesty!

 

اللهمّ العن أهل الهباء ومؤسسهم الطّاغوت بِالنّقمة والغضاب وصلّ اللهمّ على نقطة البيان وأدلائه الحيّ ومِرآته الأزلية ومَن آمن بِهم بِالعزّة والجلال
