WHERE THE INTELLECT HOLDS SWAY

Wherever the intellect holds sway, the outcome is always the same.

History, with all its pages of glory and ruin, teaches us one resounding truth: much-celebrated knowledge and intellectual brilliance have never been able to save a civilisation from eventual collapse. The Egyptians, the Greeks, and the Romans, nations once revered for their enlightenment, arts, sciences, and philosophies, all met the same tragic end. The pattern did not end there. The Spaniards, the French, and the Germans followed suit, each reaching great heights only to descend into moral decay and eventual decline.

And now, the most powerful nation of our present age: the United States, stands at the same precipice. Though commanding influence, technology, and wealth, it too will not be spared. Not because of politics or economics, but because of a higher and more enduring reality: this is the Law.

The Law that governs all creation is unchanging and just. And wherever the intellect is allowed to rule unchecked, disconnected from spirit, from intuition, from higher values, it will ultimately sow the seeds of destruction. The intellect, while an invaluable servant, was never meant to be the master.

Civilisations driven purely by intellectual power always reach a moment when their blossoms begin to rot. The fruits of their success, when not balanced by spiritual and moral depth, inevitably become the same: immorality, shamelessness, vulgarity, arrogance, and every kind of debauchery. What begins as progress ends in collapse. What starts as advancement ends in emptiness.

The remarkable similarity of this cycle across the ages is too glaring to ignore. Any truly thoughtful person must come to a sobering recognition: that behind this repeated pattern lies the operation of the highest Laws, divine, perfect, and immovable. These are not religious laws crafted by men, but cosmic Laws woven into the fabric of life itself.

They require no belief to function. They operate with or without our permission. And when we violate them, especially by allowing the intellect to usurp the place of the spirit, the consequences are always the same, no matter the age, the race, or the greatness of the nation.

This is not a call to reject the intellect. Far from it. The intellect has been a marvelous tool for progress. But it must remain a tool, not the master. For only when spirit leads, and intellect serves, can a society produce fruits that are lasting, fruits of truth, beauty, justice, and peace.

Let this be a reminder to our generation. Let it be a warning to those who boast in mental prowess but lack reverence for higher purpose. And let it be a call to return to the simple yet profound truth: that man is truly great only when he lives in harmony with the Laws of his Creator.

Where the intellect rules alone, ruin is inevitable. But where spirit leads and the intellect follows, life blossoms.
