Parallax Essay
‘Special Operations’ and The Kali Yuga
There is a war between the ones who say there is a war and the ones who say there isn't —Leonard Cohen.
According to Putin, there is no war or invasion of Ukraine—there are just 'special operations'. The bald lie of this is remarkable, to understate the case. Russia's 'special operations' are code for the mass rape and the death of scores of innocent people, and it should not be denied that Putin is a mass murderer by now. Let us be very blunt about that before we go forward with geopolitical complexities, make moral equivalence arguments, or blame 'the west' for all the world's sins.
A Parallax Course
REBUILDING SPIRITUALITY with LAYMAN PASCAL
This special introduction to “Rebuilding Spirituality” serves as the inaugural gateway to all future PARALLAX ACADEMY courses in this important emerging domain. Starting from his own unique philosophical and practical approaches, Layman Pascal guides us through a deep exploration of what it will really take to be a personal practitioner, teacher-theorist or collaborative community participant in the emerging dharma of metamodern religion, integral postmetaphysical spirituality & the dark renaissance of the human spirit. These rare online sessions will illuminate the convergence of archaic, traditional and postmodern intelligence toward personal and collective ensoulment in the Age of the Metacrisis. Join Layman for embodied wisdom-skill practices, supportive depth-oriented feedback in live Q & A sessions, and special access to advanced theory modules explaining the view necessary to make sense of how we reformat authentic transformational spirituality for our strange and disturbing times.

About Parallax
Parallax is a European online media platform offering constructive and fresh perspectives for the post-post modern age. We publish essays and podcasts, webinars and lectures, and are a hub for original and heterodox thinking.
The word ‘parallax’ stems from the old greek παράλλαξις parállaxis, which means to shift the viewpoint of the observer. The name suggests psychoactive and alternative sense-making, as opposed to mainstream narratives and ideologies.
Through our work with various European ‘digital tribes’, we create media and Bildung (education), and promote social, cognitive and spiritual development. Moreover, we aim to provide a European counterpoint to the dominant anglo-saxon narratives.
