Magic and occultism are today often presented as something modern, as a “forbidden fruit” banned by Christianity and as a form of rebellion against the system. The problem is that this is not any forbidden fruit at all, but a phenomenon long promoted by the very same system whose only real enemy is authentic, unchanged faith in what Our Lord Jesus Christ passed on to us.
Presenting Christianity exclusively through the prism of human actions—whoever those people may be—is a shallow and illogical perspective. The teachings of Jesus Christ are not identical with the errors, sins, or distortions of those who have invoked His name in the past or do so today.
It has become common today to “prove” that the dates of Christian feasts, such as Christmas, were taken over from pagan rituals. A normal practice, used throughout history by people almost always, is elevated to the rank of supposed evidence refuting the truth transmitted by the Savior.
Was such a move a mistake? Perhaps. However, it has absolutely no significance for the truthfulness of His teachings. It does not undermine them in any way, nor does it weaken them. It merely served to make it easier for pagans to accept the new religion.
It also does not matter what great pagan empires existed before. All of them fell—just as everything built by man eventually becomes a new Tower of Babel and must collapse. The manner in which the collapse occurs is also irrelevant. What matters exclusively is the cause, and it is always the same: the growth of ambition, pride, the decay of morality, and the laws governing a given order.
Whether the fall is brought about by pagans, Christians, or by a society’s own citizens through revolutions is merely a technical detail of no greater importance.
The system paints a picture of dark and oppressive Christianity through manipulation of facts, exploiting at the same time the lack of elementary religious knowledge among believers themselves. The Catholic faith is one of the most spiritual religions, and at the same time one based on truth—undeniable, consistent with God’s laws, and therefore also with the laws governing this world. I have written about this many times:
Balance of the Soul: From Emptiness to Fullness of Life
One can understand a lack of faith in God. Someone may even believe that the Ten Commandments were transmitted by aliens—but the fact remains that they became the foundation of human civilization because they are perfectly adapted to social, political, and legal life. Denying them from the standpoint of logic and reason is simply stupidity.
Below I will cite three scientists who were hundreds of years ahead of their time:
1. Isaac Newton (1643–1727)
Not only the creator of classical mechanics.
He laid the foundation of all modern physics and mathematics: calculus, dynamics, and the theory of gravity.
2. Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
One of the greatest minds in history, paradoxically underestimated today.
A mathematical genius (probability theory, geometry), a pioneer of physics (pressure, vacuum).
3. Albert Einstein (1879–1955)
The most important physicist of the twentieth century, and at the same time a metaphysical thinker.
Now, even a superficial analysis of the teachings of Jesus Christ reveals that they concern directly the structure of the human psyche, not the description of the external world. This is precisely why they are timeless and universal—regardless of faith.
If we completely remove the theological layer, one objective fact remains:
Jesus consistently spoke about motivations, not merely behaviors.
He was interested in the source of the act, not only in the act itself.
This is not the language of His era. It is an accurate diagnosis of universal psychological mechanisms.
The most “abnormal”—from the perspective of antiquity, but also difficult to accept today—was the fact that He:
– shifted judgment from the act to the intention,
– recognized thought, desire, and motive as a real field of responsibility.
From the point of view of psychology, this means recognizing that man is not driven solely by external stimuli,
that the main dynamics occur internally, and behavior is merely the result.
Such an approach appears in clinical psychology only in the twentieth century.
Why is this universal, even without faith?
Because it:
– does not depend on culture,
– does not depend on era,
– does not require metaphysics to function at the level of the psyche,
– describes man as he actually is, not as the system wants him to be.
If Newton discovered the laws of motion of matter,
and Einstein the structure of spacetime,
then Jesus revealed the structure of the human interior.
This is, of course, only a fraction of His teaching, but it is enough to understand how illogical it is to reject His teachings.
Pascal was a deeply believing man and wrote about faith. Rejecting his Pensées does not mean rejecting his discoveries in mathematics or physics.
In the case of Jesus, the situation is reversed: rejecting faith automatically means rejecting His teachings—fundamental to human mental health.
What is more, what Jesus said two thousand years ago began to be confirmed by science only in the twentieth century.
Even if someone does not recognize Jesus Christ as God, why do they not recognize His genius in the human sense, just as they recognize the genius of other thinkers?
What is it, in what He passed on to us, that is truly so dangerous to the system?
Psychology arrives at similar conclusions, yet it never indicates that its true progenitor was Christ.
Spiritual balance is what the system fears most—and this is precisely what flows from the teachings of Jesus Christ.
No one will ever convey this to you in a purely scientific form, because it is a ready-made cure for many civilizational diseases. If it were commonly understood, the system would have to collapse.
If, however, you reject the informational noise and begin to think independently, you will find answers that slowly but effectively will crumble the walls built at the system’s command.
It is worth thinking and noticing that the system, while invoking science, simultaneously rejects its foundations. Instead of moving people toward reason, it directs them toward falsehood: belief in magic and occultism, in myths and legends that it itself creates and modifies according to current needs.
