Where no inner knowledge is at work, everything is within the realm of the permissible. This is the scope of „the end justifies the means„. In this state of consciousness, there are ultimately no limits to what is possible. Ethical or moral (man-made) principles may have to fall first in a tough struggle. If the end requires it, then sooner or later everything can be sacrificed in the feeling of necessity. Then everything human is only a luxury that must be sacrificed for naked survival – without alternative.
Without inner knowledge, only the cold fear of death reigns. Sometimes it is glossed over. Then the whistle is blithely blown. And sometimes – when the end justifies the means – it is the only thing that is visible. Then it overruns everything. And man clearly shows himself in his otherwise overpainted panic and raging animal consciousness.
