DOXOLOGICALISM 
AN ALTERNATE MANIFESTO

1. We yearn for a revolution in sight, acknowledging that “seeing” is fundamentally anamnetic. This disremembered power requires an urgent rekindling with rebellious fervour, for upon its blaze hinges our very essence.

2. We recognise the present aesthetico-political “oscillation” to be the hypomnetic fruit of a vicissitudinous meontology, which is itself the nihilistic distillation of a series of theologically augmented dualisms. In truth, the cultural meta-modern does not oscillate; it vacillates — anxiously. 

3. Chance has no identity. Vacillation has no telos. Desire is not self-referential. As such, we refuse to be subsumed into a kinetic anthropology propelled by an anti-logos of contradiction. The prophetic see this motion as destined for a lonely paralysis whence the human is rendered a stranger to a disremembered reality. We can no longer afford to drink indulgently from the technocratic river of Lethe

4. Language needs to return to ontology for words can make Truth present and Truth has spoken. It is only through the sacred union of lexicon and essence that reason will find its resurrection and humanity will finally name its darkness.

5. We eschew the superimposition of all regulative appellations. We are not existentialists, nor pragmatists, nor nostalgists. Our hearts burn ecstatically only for the sake of Alethia; inscribed and signed by the paradoxical allure of a beauty broken.

6. We call for a revolution in time that at once reflects the ritual determination of history and the immanence of the eschaton. It is in the turn to mystery that the ideal is fused with the material and we find the source and consummation of our identity.

7. The cultural darkness is our prophetic moment. 
Our movement must be doxological.
