ABSTRACT

A consciousness that lives with the radical and irreconcilable antagonism of good and evil is continuously, because ontologically, put on the alert, requiring a total mobilization of all reserves. The polarization is such that there is constant danger. Ontologically we live in times of perpetual war. Christianity was able to deliver from sin through the in-one-another of concentrated sin and innocent lamb. This type of in-one-another, however, is precisely the blueprint of the Bomb: outside a harmless shell, inside a concentrated diabolic terror. The greater the tension of opposites—i.e., the purer and the more concentrated they are, the closer innocence and aggressive power are joined, the more intimately one encapsulates the other—the stronger the explosive power. The Biblical name for the invention of the in-one-another of good and evil is hypocrisy. The discovery of the interior occurs as the discovery or rather invention of hypocrisy.
