The Definition of Sanity
Why the fanatic and the atheist are often trapped in the same cage.
The Foundation of Health
A healthy person is defined by one thing: The Creator is the foundation of their actual existence.
Health is not defined by external identity. It is not defined by religious performance. It is not defined by ideological behavior. These are not proofs of faith. Often, they are masks.
The Instruction itself warns us that a human being can justify violence, control, and distortion specifically “in the name of God.”
The Trap of the Vessel
History—both religious and secular—proves this. When the Divine becomes a tool in human hands, whether in the name of Heaven or in the name of Progress, the result is destruction.
The great tragedy is confusion. People cling to symbols, to institutions, to leaders, and they think this is divinity. But divinity is measured only in the direction of the Will. It is measured in humility and in truth.
This is why the “leaders” at one extreme and the “fanatics” at the other are two sides of the same tragedy.
There are “believers” who do not know what faith is, because their animal soul runs the Holy of Holies. And there are “non-believers” who legislate laws for themselves, because for them, the Will to Receive—the ego—is their god.
Both reflect a people living from the outside in. Therefore, the head and the body rot together. It is a reflection of collective insanity.
The Angel of Death
True study and true redemption do not depend on religion, politics, science, or academia. They depend on an internal choice to undergo withdrawal from the world as the center of gravity, and to place the human Will under Divine order.
In a generation of great light and weak vessels, the “Angel of Death” is not a monster with a scythe. The Angel of Death is any system—religious or secular—that drugs a person with achievements and identities, preventing them from knowing the truth. It prevents the correction of the Will from taking to giving.
Therefore, the decision of what to do with these 70 or 80 years of life is a structural decision.
Slavery vs. Kingship
You choose to remain a slave to the Will, to fear, and to social conventions. Or you choose Kingship.
Kingship is not a messianic slogan. It is the acceptance of the yoke of Heaven out of internal freedom. It is an agreement to be a living vessel for unity, where the human being becomes the dwelling place for the Light.
The Creator is the existential reference point. Everything else—clothing, language, ideology, religious institutions, or atheism—is at most a costume, and often a dangerous mask.
The masters of this wisdom have always warned against the situation where holiness is captured by uncorrected hands. The worst tragedies happen in the inner chambers wrapped in holiness. This is no different in essence from the violent fanatic screaming slogans in the name of a foreign god.
They are the same phenomenon. The use of God to serve a rotten human Will.
The Partners
On the other side stand secular, ideological, or academic “leaders” wearing the tunic of rationality, progress, or morality. But in practice, they manage the world from the same disconnection. This is the rule of the Will to Receive for oneself, whether wrapped in religion or wrapped in science.
These two extremes—the religion that costumes itself and the heresy that legislates for itself—are partners. They are not rivals.
Both reflect a life lived without knowledge, without an internal stance before the truth. Therefore, the head and the body are broken together. This is not a deviation of individuals. It is a collective reflection of insanity.
The Internal Choice
The instruction is not dependent on any external factor. Not on religion. Not on religious people. Not on politics. Not on institutions. Not on parents. Not on society. Not on the economy.
It depends only on you.
It is acquired only through the will and the readiness to undergo a deep weaning from this world.
Most people follow the “Angel of Death” blindly. Again, not as a mystical figure, but as the systems that maintain the sickness—religion, science, academia, and politics. They all use knowledge, power, and credentials to keep human beings as sick slaves, even while dazzled by achievements.
The real question is not ideological. It is existential.
What does a person do with their 70 or 80 years?
This is a choice between slavery and sovereignty. To remain a driven donkey—a slave to desire, fear, society, and systems—or to choose the path of taking absolute responsibility for correcting the Will, until the person becomes a vessel for the Light.
Not a slogan. Not a role. Not an external leadership. A state of consciousness where the Creator is the base, and everything else is measured in that light.
Very few will walk on two legs and understand what is written here. Our role is to ensure that the many who walk on two legs do not just understand, but live by the light of what is said here.
To be simple. To be abstract. Simple Light.

ORIYA’S NOTE
We are obsessed with the container, but we ignore the contents.
We spend our lives curating the perfect identity. The religious identity, the progressive identity, the successful identity. We polish the exterior. We attend the right meetings. We say the right words. We assume that if the label on the jar says “Holy” or “Rational,” the contents must match.
But the architecture does not lie.
If you build a skyscraper on a swamp, it does not matter how beautiful the lobby is. It will sink.
This text strips away the lobby. It tells us that the “Religious Fanatic” and the “Secular Rationalist” are often building on the exact same swamp: The Ego. The Will to Receive. The need to be right, to control, to consume.
They just paint the building different colors.
We are being asked to do something much harder than picking a team. We are being asked to check the foundation.
To stop renting our stability from our political party, our synagogue, or our university degree. To realize that these are just systems designed to keep us sedated—renting stability instead of building it.
Real faith is not a membership card. It is a structural shift. It is the terrifying, liberating decision to stop acting as the center of the universe and to start training yourself to be a vessel for something else.
It is a gym session that lasts 80 years. Most people never step onto the mat. They prefer the costume party outside.
But the costume party ends. The mask falls off. And in that moment, the only thing that stands is what you have built.
