The Demons and Their Milieu Will Pass
“In the fall the war was always there, but we did not go to it any more.” IN ANOTHER COUNTRY 1927, Ernest Hemingway

Number 45 is the leader of Boundless Hubris. Boundless Hubris is not a country, it’s a system and a culture. Boundless Hubris is all most of us know or will ever know. Boundless Hubris is our normal, banal milieu.
Progress can only be viewed through a historical perspective. Progress is quite literally in the past. The future is a self-serving fantasy. The present oscillates between struggle, sublime dream state or nightmare.
Number 45 is the incubus/succubus within all of us that reveals the truth about Boundless Hubris. We can only transcend Boundless Hubris though awareness, truth and the process of expanding our knowledge. Through the processes that reveal facets of truth and knowledge we can experience something close to freedom. We can experience a break from the incubus/succubus and from Boundless Hubris.
Most of us will die before trying.
Embark on your spiritual (define that as you will) and intellectual journey now. Make an effort not to be hyper-social. Don’t wedge yourself in.
Break free.
Boundless Hubris will be the banal milieu until humanity falls out of existence. Evolution will not make us humble. We are the species — Homohubris.
Embark now, start training now, this fleeting moment is your only chance!
An infinite number of starting places.
Note: “Number 45” signifies the 45th President of the United States.
