Sky Politics and questions of language, thinking and the Spirit of Truth

The root of Chinese specifics lies in the concrete-symbolic mode of thinking of the Chinese, and the symbolism of thinking determines that thoughts in writing are fixed not by letters – signs of sounds – but by hieroglyphs – symbolic images of meanings.

Chinese sages think in pictures of hieroglyphs – essentially, in that which can be represented in images, whereas those who speak languages with alphabetic writing think in words of speech – in that which names concrete things with names and, thereby, splits thought from that which can be imagined as a whole down to the abstract concepts of analytics.

But even the words of ordinary speech of the Chinese language, isolating thought from the refined forms of grammar, even without hieroglyphic erudition, still all the same arrange the thinking of the Chinese into a strict order of transmitted meanings, and therefore make Chinese society inclined toward the order of Confucian ethics (elders and juniors, superiors and subordinates) and not inclined toward the flexible, lax freedoms of human rights of Western democracies.

It is precisely the ethics of what ought to be, including also what is called “Chinese ceremonies,” that allows the Chinese to think of themselves as the core of culture (Xia) surrounded by the savagery of the outskirts of the Celestial Empire (Yi).

In the passing epoch of industrial society, in the progress of science and technology, the strong aspects of cognizing the world through abstract-conceptual thinking manifested themselves, especially in analytical English, while in diplomacy and jurisprudence (the logic of legal studies) the advantages of analytical French manifested themselves.

In the new epoch of the information society, the strong aspects of the thinking of the Chinese are manifesting themselves ever more distinctly, allowing them to see the connection of problems, the processes of being and the picture of the world as a whole.

The isolating structure of grammar (in words there are no variations of gender, number, declension, case, tense, etc.) and symbolic writing with an enormous code base (more than 10,000 commonly used hieroglyphs) have made the Chinese language more adapted to digitalization, artificial intelligence, and information transmission systems.

However, the rigid order of fixing and transmitting thought makes the Chinese language incapable of paradox, essentially of generating the new, the unprecedented. But only of generalizing that which already exists, although in generalizations, of course, new qualities do manifest themselves.

The fact that the Chinese think in hieroglyphs and where this leads thought is absolutely incomprehensible to people even if they have learned the Chinese language.

Even China scholars from the library remain within the framework of abstract-conceptual thinking of languages with alphabetic writing. Even China practitioners cannot think in hieroglyphs.

“Chinese ceremonies,” Chinese bureaucracy, adherence to templates and fear of responsibility — these are the product of the concrete-symbolic type of thinking of the Chinese.

The most disposed toward paradox – completely flexible in forms – is the “great, mighty, truthful and free” Russian language.

But the Russian language, predisposed to the birth of fresh thoughts, yields to German where what is at issue is the “order and discipline” of communal life, the systematicity of large expositions of thought (classical German philosophy), and the translation of a fruitful idea of innovation into technological regulation and the neatness of production.

It is quite obvious that the engineering thought of the Germans, the resources, including the creative abilities, of Russia and the Chinese factory of the 21st century together would assuredly have provided them hegemony in industrial society.

That is why the geopolitics of the living space of land of the German K. Haushofer envisaged an invincible continental Eurasian link: Germany – Russia – China as opposed to the “alliance of democracies” of the Anglo-American geopolitics of the sea. But the military cunning of those behind the scenes broke Haushofer’s scheme.

Now, in the new epoch of the information society, the political geography of resources and interests for seizing the future has clearly become insufficient. Capital moves from the material sphere into the non-material sphere; the role of creative abilities, good will (goodwill) and the grace of the life-giving spirit increases.

Chinese sages long warned the authorities of the PRC that the solution of the problem of the systemic poverty of the people and the building of a society of small prosperity (xiaokang) together with prosperity and sheer pragmatism deprive the nation of yellow people (hua-han) of the sacred connection with the Way of Heaven (Dao). And this is dangerous, with a lapse into chaos.

The emphasis on the material side of life deprives Chinese society of Grace (De). So that the country now does not lapse into chaos, but smoothly passes into the cycle of the Great Unity (Community of Shared Future for Mankind), China needs to restore the lost Grace of the Spirit.

According to the law of changes, only the East overcomes the Center of the inhabited world occupied by China. And to the acquisition of the Spirit of Truth (Shen) pre-schism Orthodoxy is open, in Chinese: “Eastern correct teaching” (东正教). Here, and not in geopolitics, is the main factor in the search by the leadership of the PRC for the foundation of Chinese-Russian relations of a new era. Here is the Chinese specificity of the hope for good-neighborliness.

However, the authorities of New Russia betrayed the red idea of a bright future for all mankind, which is also the “Kingdom of God on earth.”

The Synodal Church of the Moscow Patriarchate speaks only of the Kingdom of Heaven, while on earth: patience, humility, meekness.

The PRC, with its aggregate power, has become the world leader also in the project of the Great Unity (Datong) for the coming New World Order of the information society, having picked up the banner of a bright future for all mankind that tilted during the perestroika of the USSR. It creates with countries and peoples a Community of shared destiny.

Neither the Kremlin nor the Moscow Patriarchate has a civilizational project for the New World Order that is captivating for the fate of the peoples of the Russian Federation and the entire Christian world. The project “Moscow – the Third Rome” finally collapsed with the falling away of Ukraine.

Russia of the democratic choice itself needs transfiguration. It itself needs to feel itself not as the geographical north of the Old World, but as the sacred East, where the Sun of the Spirit rises. It itself needs to proclaim its world project of seizing the future.

Born in New Russia, the system of views with the daring name Sky Politics, from the perspective of political theology, proposed a way to organize an inoculation of the Spirit into the Chinese project of the shared future of mankind, through the gift of a sacred object (jade swords of the spirit of the Han dynasty), in the Moscow Kremlin according to the procedure of pre-schism Orthodoxy. It substantiated the project Greater Eurasia – the Third Horde by the cycles of changes. It described the attainment of the triune harmony of the world in the linkage of the forces of the PRC-RF-USA. It looked into the foreseeable future before and after the anthropological transition of the mid-21st century.

On the sacred plane (connections with the invisible world), in order to stand on the tidal wave of the energy of the East by way of tuning into resonance with the vibrations of the Cosmos, Sky Politics invented a number of methods.

They must be shown in the Temple of the muse of history – the giver of glory – the Museum of Constructing the Future. This is not about a museum of the future (there already is one in Dubai), but about constructing the future as a platform for comparing six active world projects of humanity’s entry into the New World Order and the selectivity of the Spirit of Truth by the “fibers of the soul” of the complementary peoples of non-Western civilizations.

However, also according to Scripture: “A prophet is not honored in his own country.”
