The concept of Pure Reason comes as a reaction to the violence that is spreading everywhere in the name of religion, religious factions, races, and also to many modern systems that tamper with the essential sensibility of the mind that is inherently attuned to the Truth. The Truth is the perennial source of knowledge existing in the Universe. It has a very strong moral system, and that moral system is being neglected in the march of our civilizations. The Truth is essential to the culture of the mind, for its happiness, and observance of it is very essential for the sanity and sanctity of the human mind. All over the world we see at present the expression of civilized brutality, and the support reductionistic rationalism.
Negative forces are armed with money and weapons.
The links to consciousness, even the so called expressions of culture, are controlled by these negative forces. Neighbors who have been living peacefully become enemies all on a sudden due to the preaching of war maniacs. This is true of many countries in Europe, Africa, and Asia. Elsewhere, to some, the neighbor is the child in the womb. The conquest is that of the culture by the marching civilization.
