I have recently begun to consider the future, which is a novelty for me, because I never really thought I had one. This is how they get us. They convince us that there is no future. There is only the eternal now and the best that we can do is to survive until dawn and then do it all again. That is no way to live. And I discovered, to some surprise, that I am interested in living. I am interested in building a way to live. I will build something new on all these old bones. Something where people can live for a future. I am going to live. And I think, I will start here.

Introduction: The Looming Threat
We are in the midst of manifesting the apocalypse—a self-made judgment day, created by our own hands. Death will be on an unprecedented scale, and don’t be fooled: this time, it won’t be isolated to distant lands; it will be global, inescapable. There will be nowhere to run.
Isn’t it poetic, in a tragic sense? We are set to pay for our actions. Each of us will be held accountable for our part in this impending catastrophe. If we don’t start cooperating and at least attempt to redeem ourselves, perhaps we truly deserve this fate.
But what about our children and the younger generations? They will bear the heaviest burden, paying the highest price for the mistakes they did not make.
It’s time for people to confront the harsh reality of what is happening and understand what is at stake. Fear, while often seen as an ugly weapon, is remarkably effective. Sometimes, scaring people is the only way to awaken them to action. In nature, there are three fundamental reactions to threat: flight (which is impossible in this scenario—maybe that’s an option for Dr. Strangelove, the tranquilized neurotic dreaming of his little fascist colony), playing dead (a strategy that will surely end in disaster) or fighting back.
There is nothing more powerful than the awareness of a threat combined with the promise of hope. People will rise to the challenge when they see a way out.
By combining fear and hope, we can forge a powerful force for change.
Unification Through Religion
Across the diverse tapestry of global religions, a unifying thread emerges: the call to do good and foster unity among people. Here, we explore how various faiths compel their followers to act righteously and contribute to the common good, underscoring the collective ethical sentiments found in religious teachings.
Even if you do not adhere to any religious belief, we can all agree on the importance of striving to do good or, at the very least, recognizing that cooperation is essential for the survival of humanity.
No matter where you stand—whether believer or not—one thing is clear: division and hatred weaken us all. The strategic ally to overcome this is Omnism. By embracing the beauty in our differences and the value in all faiths and belief systems, Omnism renders the forces of exclusion and fear powerless. It celebrates diversity while standing firm against division or superiority, guiding us toward unity in our shared humanity.
This shared value is a cornerstone of our collective human experience and an essential principle for creating a harmonious world.
Christianity (Bible)
Matthew 22:37-40 (NIV): Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
Psalm 145:9 (NIV): “The Lord is good to all; he has compassion on all he has made.”
James 2:14-17 (New Testament): “What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, ‘Go in peace, be warmed and filled,’ without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.”
Islam (Quran)
Surah Al-Baqarah (2:195): “And spend in the way of Allah and do not throw [yourselves] with your [own] hands into destruction [by refraining]. And do good; indeed, Allah loves the doers of good.”
Surah Al-Baqarah (2:148): “For each [religious following] is a direction toward which it faces. So race to [all that is] good.”
Surah Al-Ma’idah (5:48): “Had Allah willed, He would have made you one nation [united in religion], but [He intended] to test you in what He has given you; so race to [all that is] good. To Allah is your return all together, and He will [then] inform you concerning that over which you used to differ.”
Hinduism (Bhagavad Gita)
Bhagavad Gita 3:19: “Therefore, without being attached to the fruits of activities, one should act as a matter of duty, for by working without attachment one attains the Supreme.”

Tao Te Ching, Chapter 81: “The sage does not hoard. The more he helps others, the more he benefits himself. The more he gives to others, the more he gets himself.”
Our detailed discussion on Omnism & Paths to God highlights a profound truth: all major religions share a fundamental principle—the call to act righteously and promote unity among humanity. This revelation underscores that, despite diverse traditions and practices, there exists a universal moral foundation that binds us together. By embracing these shared values, Omnism provides a holistic and inclusive approach to spirituality, fostering harmony, understanding, and mutual respect among various religious communities. This principle transcends individual beliefs, emphasizing our collective responsibility to contribute to the common good. Recognizing these universal truths encourages a spirit of cooperation and empathy, guiding us toward a more unified and compassionate world.
The Implications of Failing to Unite and Strive for Good
Hell is populated by humans who went against the will of God.

The teachings of major religions around the world emphasize not only the importance of righteous living and unity but also warn of the serious consequences that befall those who deviate from the path of virtue. These warnings serve as a reminder of the moral and spiritual stakes involved in our actions. While the concept of punishment varies across different faiths, the underlying message remains clear: actions against divine will have profound repercussions. By understanding these consequences, we can better appreciate the importance of aligning our lives with ethical principles and the collective good.
At the root of actions that go against divine will often lies egocentric motivation and self-centered behavior that disrupts unity and harmony. As Rumi wisely noted, “The Ego is a veil between humans and God” and “Your worst enemy is hiding within yourself, and that enemy is your nafs or false ego.” In contrast, the equality found in sincere prayer exemplifies the potential for humility and connection with the divine: “In prayer all are equal.”
By recognizing the serious consequences outlined in these teachings, we can better understand the importance try to do good and fostering unity. Yet, these warnings are not meant to instill despair but to inspire a recommitment to ethical living and mutual respect. It is through acknowledging our missteps and striving towards the collective good that we find hope and the possibility of redemption.
Revelation 21:8 (New Testament) “But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”
Matthew 25:41 (New Testament) “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.'”
Surah Al-A’raf (7:36) “But those who deny Our signs and are arrogant toward them – those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide therein eternally.”
Surah Al-Ma’idah (5:10) “But those who disbelieve and deny Our signs – those are the companions of Hellfire.”
Bhagavad Gita 16:19-20 “Those who are envious and mischievous, who are the lowest among men, I perpetually cast into the ocean of material existence, into various demoniac species of life. Attaining repeated birth amongst the species of demoniac life, such persons can never approach Me. Gradually they sink down to the most abominable type of existence.”
Dhammapada 1:10-12 “Those who are unmindful, and act carelessly, in the end, their actions lead them to suffering. Just as a storm throws down a weak tree, so does Mara overpower the man who lives for the pursuit of pleasures, who is uncontrolled in his senses, immoderate in his eating, indolent, and of uncontrolled mind.”
Guru Granth Sahib, Ang 1245 “Those who do not serve the True Guru and who do not contemplate the Word of the Shabad – they are caught in the cycles of death and rebirth, and they are led to hell.”
Guru Granth Sahib, Ang 1159 “The self-willed manmukh does not think of the Creator. He dies and is reincarnated, over and over again. He is consigned to terrible hell, and he cries out in pain.”
Daniel 12:2 “Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt.”
Isaiah 66:24 “And they will go out and look on the dead bodies of those who rebelled against me; the worms that eat them will not die, the fire that burns them will not be quenched, and they will be loathsome to all mankind.”
Gleanings from the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh, XCIV “The unbelievers who have strayed far from the path of God and disbelieved in His signs, their abode will be in the Fire, that is, in this world and in the world to come.”
Analects 2:3 “The Master said, ‘If a man sets his heart on benevolence, he will be free from evil.'”
Analects 12:21 “Zigong asked about the nature of benevolence. Confucius said, ‘The benevolent man is free from worry; the wise man is free from perplexity; the courageous man is free from fear.'”
While Shinto does not have a concept of Hell as in other religions, it speaks about purity and impurity, where those who are impure or act against the kami (divine spirits) face consequences.
Kojiki (Records of Ancient Matters) “Those who sow discord among the people, who turn away from the paths of righteousness and goodness, will face the wrath of the kami and lead a life of suffering and misfortune.”
Tao Te Ching, Chapter 53 “The great way is very smooth, but the people love the by-paths. The court is very splendid, but the fields are very weedy, and the granaries are very empty. With robes, elegant and embroidered, carrying sharp swords, glutting with food and drink, having wealth and possessions in excess – this is the way of robbers.”
These passages reflect the idea that there are consequences for those who act against divine will or moral laws, with varying interpretations of suffering, punishment, and consequences in the afterlife or within the cycles of life and rebirth.
Our Path: Fostering Hope for a Better Future
In the face of immense challenges, we are convinced that the human race is capable of rising to meet and overcome them.
The concept of “HiveGeist” embodies this potential. HiveGeist suggests a shared awareness and collective intelligence akin to that found in a hive. This collective consciousness enables coordinated action and decision-making, leveraging the strengths and insights of each member. By uniting our efforts, we can address the pressing issues of our time with a unified approach.
The Descent, the Courage, and the Cure
If this truly is the beginning, it cannot be a return to old habits.
Our survival depends not only on structural change but on inner transformation. The crisis we face is not just ecological, political, or technological—it is spiritual and psychological. We have to change how we see, how we relate, how we act.
In The 7th Gate, we descend into the fire of ego—the illusions and wounds that keep us fragmented and afraid. Each sin is a gate, each gate a mirror, each mirror a call to return to wholeness.
In The Antidote to Fascism, we turn to the wisdom of Alfred Adler. Fascism feeds on isolation and inferiority. It weaponizes the wound. But courage, connection, and social interest form the medicine. Healing isn’t just personal—it’s political.
This is what HiveGeist now stands for:
-
A shared fire of insight,
-
A collective descent into the roots of suffering,
-
And a return to cooperation, courage, and wholeness.
Let this be a true beginning.
When you start to walk, the way will appear. When you get to the end of the light you know, and it’s time to step into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing that one of two things shall happen: either you will be given something solid to stand on, or you will be taught to fly. When all you can do is crawl, start crawling.
Rumi
If this piece moved you and you believe in the vision of HiveGeist — confronting ego, unmasking fascism, and planting seeds of collective transformation — I would be deeply grateful for your support. Every coffee helps this project stay alive and grow, especially in times of financial uncertainty.
