Globalisms spiritual battle

 Prelude by Mary Otto-Chang, Producer of NoGlobalism.com

It is realized that a multitude of nuances are embraced within the many points brought forth in this newsletter. It is also understood that the real world not often presents precisely delineated black and white conceptual understandings.

Mostly, reality consists of greys, where people, or entities – or even most ideologies – carry both black and white – or negatives and positives within them. At the same time, there are people and entities and ideologies which are almost all, if not totally, negative, for the future of preserving Humanity.

While we at NoGlobalism greatly appreciate the world of integral or holistic thought, and appreciate that many discussions lie within these ideas presented herewith, we have looked to the clarity of historical perspective and proven track records of the old, for deciphering a new way forward, in a world, – a Western world at the very least – which has lost its way.

Greg Taylor presents as follows, some ground breaking work, helping guide us home.

In our previous newsletter, Set Innovation to Zero,” we highlighted the schism in the rules-based order as “Tech Bros” rise to break the limitation to innovation. We now look at this from a spiritual angle that explains the stakes for which we are playing.

For centuries, Christianity carried the West upward. From Genesis onward, it shattered the ancient belief that humanity was trapped in cycles of fate and replaced it with a mandate: subdue the earth, fill it, transform it. Dominion was not arrogance but obedience, a call to complete an unfinished creation. As Genesis declares: “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it” (Genesis 1:28). And again: “The heavens are the Lord’s heavens, but the earth he has given to the children of man” (Psalm 115:16).

Christianity sanctified progress, agency, and abundance. It taught that history moves forward, not in circles, and that human beings are co‑creators rather than cosmic intruders. This worldview built the modern world.

The Rise of Counterculture

And then, almost overnight, it was dethroned. The late 1960’s shattered Christianity’s cultural authority. Counterculture rose in its place, a rebellion of hedonism, psychedelic mysticism, and anti‑institutional fervor that rejected the moral architecture of the past. The old commandments were cast aside, not only in churches but in universities, media, and the emerging managerial class. What followed was not secularism but a spiritual vacuum, and vacuums never remain empty for long.

This harmony creed preached limits as salvation, restraint as enlightenment, decline as moral duty, and fragility as cosmic truth. It dressed itself in science, but its soul was mystical. It spoke of balance, interdependence, and planetary boundaries, but beneath the vocabulary lay a single commandment: do not ascend. This is the philosophy that is apparent in modern rules based-order institutions, epitomized by the United Nations.

Manifestation of the Occult

This worldview found its architect in Aurelio Peccei, founder of the Club of Rome, whose 1977 book The Human Quality openly drew on Theosophical ideas of inner awakening and humanity’s evolutionary “crisis of consciousness.” Peccei described the need for a “new humanism” that transcends material progress, echoing Alice Bailey’s vision of a coming “world teacher” and a spiritually evolved planetary order. The Club’s seminal report, The Limits to Growth (1972), declared exponential progress not a triumph but a mortal threat. Humanity, it argued, must be managed downward, stabilized, restrained, harmonized, lest it overshoot the planet’s carrying capacity and collapse.

Where Christianity proclaimed “Be fruitful and multiply,” the new creed commands “Be careful and restrain.” Where Christianity said “Fear not,” the new creed says “Fear everything.” Where Christianity said “Create,” the new creed says “Constrain.” This was not a shift in policy but a wholesale theological replacement: the dominion mandate exchanged for a doctrine of managed decline.

The harmony ethic presents itself as compassion, humility, and stewardship. But beneath the soft language lies the oldest political instinct in history: control. Caution is the mask; control is the face. Malthus supplied the fear of overpopulation, Theosophy supplied the mystical cosmology of planetary consciousness, and the managerial class supplied the machinery. Together they forged a worldview in which human flourishing becomes a threat, innovation becomes destabilizing, abundance becomes dangerous, growth becomes immoral, and the future must be rationed rather than boldly built.

Totalitarianism in Lockstep

This is totalitarianism in managerial form, soft, polite, and absolute. The West traded dominion for decadence, abundance for austerity, creation for compliance. The civilization that once built cathedrals now builds carbon budgets.

The Vatican’s Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development has partnered with NGOs such as Caritas and the Jesuit Refugee Service to advocate for open migration pathways and integration, often in alignment with the UN Global Compact for Migration. Protestant denominations, too, have adopted sustainability pledges, rainbow flags in sanctuaries, drag queens in pulpits, and ESG-aligned investment policies, treating the SDGs as a new moral framework that rivals or replaces the historic creeds.

The Antichrist Amongst Us

Christianity teaches that the Antichrist is not merely a future figure but a spirit already at work, a counterfeit gospel, a false peace, an inversion of truth. As John warns: “Every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already” (1 John 4:3). They cry “Peace, peace” when there is no peace (Jeremiah 6:14), or as Paul puts it: “While people are saying, ‘Peace and safety,’ destruction will come on them suddenly” (1 Thessalonians 5:3).

Our Challenge

Yet every false gospel eventually meets its challenger. A small but growing faction rejects the metaphysics of limits entirely. They insist that abundance is not hubris but destiny, that the future is not to be managed but made.

President Trump has become the political champion of this rebellion, championing “drill, baby, drill,” deregulating AI to unleash human ingenuity, and framing American renewal as a kind of Mission Genesis: reclaiming dominion over energy, technology, and the earth itself. This is Silicon Valley allied with political power versus the rules-based order, the battle of our time, the fight for our spiritual imagination, and our soul.

Yet even this rebellion carries risks, new elites can circulate, new tools of control can emerge. The true challenger is not any man or faction, but the unchanging gospel of Christ.

Next Time…

Yet the harmony creed does not conquer by force alone. It spreads through a subtler weapon: mimetic contagion, the viral borrowing of desires that Girard revealed as the hidden engine of false peace. Christianity alone exposes this cycle, but first we must understand how it infects the soul of the West. Next: mimetics, the pandemic of the mind behind the antichrist spirit.
