"'Man is a rope,' Zarathustra cries out to the crowd, 'fastened between animal and Superman – a rope over an abyss.' — Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra
'If you stare too long into the abyss, then it stares back at you.' — Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil
I read a lot of Nietzsche in college. While it has been years since I last picked up one of his works, I’ve been reflecting on his image of the abyss lately, following several 'red pill' moments in the world and the Church that left me questioning whether there is any institution left worth trusting, if there is any firm ground left to stand upon. Can it be that every governmental, health, corporate, and mainstream media institution around the world is conspiring to withhold inexpensive life saving treatments, falsify injury and death statistics, push gravely dishonest narratives, and even forcibly quarantine, vaccinate, or kill people in order to support the radical population control agenda of a secular Freemasonic world order? Check. Can it be that we have a hierarchy whose values and priorities are more aligned with those of this same Freemasonic order than those of Christ? Possibly. Probably. Yes, unfortunately.
It’s one thing to red pill. It’s another to black pill. Black pill is both a type of red pill as well as one’s response to it: A red pill gone hopelessly bleak, leading one to despair. To use Nietzsche’s image, the black pilled are staring face-first into the abyss, and they don’t see any way out.
For those of us who have been taking our red pills in stride, I think the black pill is the sudden realization that persecution is here — not just for the tallest blade of grass, but for all blades that refuse to kowtow to this evil agenda. The COVID shot is the global litmus test for compliance, and friends, family, co-workers, and even Church leaders have been weaponized against one another. Do you want to keep your social status, your job, and the ability to travel, attend school, worship at church, purchase food, and more? If so, just get a little jab. If not, you will have to suffer. Perhaps horribly. It is a sobering realization — and one that has caused many to capitulate, even – sadly – within traditional Catholic circles.
How can we steel ourselves against the depths of this abyss? How can we cross over in faith, hope, and charity, without succumbing to depression and resignation?
The answer (no surprise) is to cling even more tightly to Jesus Christ. Do not be like the tight-rope walker in Zarathustra who attempts to cross over the abyss on his own, loses balance, and falls. This sounds like obvious advice, but crisis has a way of kicking our sense of self-sufficiency into high gear against our better judgement. Replace the rope with the Cross of Christ, and you will find yourself on a firm, unshakeable bridge..." [less than 50%]
