The Last Cry of Conscience in a Civilization That Has Forgotten Being

The Lost Heart of Truth: Chapter 86

Soyo Existence Ethics (Existence Itself Is Ethics)

Fragments of Truth – Where the Language of God Was Scattered

• Truth – scattered under the name of religion.

• Being – dismantled under the name of humanity.

• Ethics – removed because the truth is uncomfortable.

• Conscience – rejected because it pierces the heart.

• God – abandoned because humans fear being judged.

These five lines are the five graves that modern civilization has built for itself. When truth was scattered inside religious authority, God became language, and language became power. When being was dismantled inside human interpretation, life became an object of thought, and philosophy lost the human. When ethics was replaced by efficiency, society gained order but lost conscience. When conscience was rejected for being painful, humans gained moral comfort but lost the voice of God. And when God was abandoned out of fear,

Humanity gained a sense of freedom but spilled the blood of truth.

Human civilization has lived holding fragments of truth, while having long forgotten its original form. Truth was scattered, and being fell silent. But silence is not the end. Silence is the beginning of God.

Truth Scattered in the Name of Religion

God wished to speak through human language, but humans systematized that language. They preferred to interpret God rather than revere Him. Thus, the voice of God was locked away in doctrines, and truth was fixed in rigid formulas. But God does not remain inside doctrine. He leaves the sentences humans memorized and descends into their tears. Truth lives not in texts, but in the breath of tears, in the trembling of conscience, and in the silence of love.

Soyo Existence Ethics declares:

“Truth does not dwell in doctrine but in the living human being. God speaks not through the language of worship, but through the tears of the human heart.”

Religion without truth becomes an institution. A human who carries truth becomes a sanctuary. Only within that sanctuary does God breathe again.

The Dismantling of Being – When Humans Lose Themselves

Philosophy dismantled the human, and humans worshiped philosophy.

Being became merely a subject of thought, and life became a test ground for logic. Modern humans can analyze themselves but can no longer feel themselves. Being no longer breathes. Humans collect data believing they understand themselves, yet no data contains love. Humans can now design themselves, but cannot forgive themselves.

Soyo Existence Ethics declares:

“The human cannot be dismantled, for the human is woven from the bloodline of God.”

Analysis can explain existence, but only love can save it. When humans analyze humans, God becomes silent. Being can only be understood through the resonance of conscience.

The Disappearance of Ethics – Civilization Avoids the Pain of Truth

Modern civilization chose efficiency over ethics. Ethics cannot be calculated, so it was excluded. Conscience is not in statistics, so it was deleted. The world runs on numbers and profit, but the scent of spilled blood remains. Ethics is no longer the center of philosophy. Ethics must not be the “conclusion” of philosophy but its beginning. Yet humans called ethics “morality” and treated it lightly. Thus, philosophy came to hold logic rather than life.

Soyo Existence Ethics asks:

“How can truth dwell in a human who cannot bear discomfort?”

Ethics is another name for discomfort. Discomfort is the sign that truth is alive within us. To lose ethics is to cut the nerve of truth.

The Pain of Conscience – Humanity Loses the Language of God

Conscience is the immortal flame God placed in the soul. That flame burns through pain, guiding humans toward truth. But humans fear its pain. Conscience reminds them of sin and awakens the demands of truth. To flee that pain is to lose the voice of God.

Soyo Existence Ethics states:

“Conscience returns the human to God through pain.”

Conscience is the language of God within. It speaks not through words but through silence. The heavier that silence feels, the closer the human is to God’s presence.

The Absence of God and the Numbness of Humanity

Today’s world is filled with ethics without God, humanity without God,

philosophy without God. But this does not mean God has left. It means humans have lost their sensitivity. God still stands in the center of existence. His silence is the last mercy given to humanity.

Soyo Existence Ethics declares:

“God is not absent. He is silent within the numbness of the human being.”

That silence is not judgment; it is waiting. God waits for humans to hear their conscience again. That waiting is another name for truth.

Truth Fading, Yet the Light Unextinguished

The world has lost truth, but truth has not lost the world. Truth is reborn whenever one human sheds tears of love. Where such tears are, God is present, and truth is alive. Truth cannot be explained by language. It is proven only through lived existence. As philosophy moves away from speech, truth descends deeper into the soul. Even in an age that forgets truth, conscience still carries the breath of God. That is the restoration of being, the resurrection of truth, the return of ethics.

Soyo Existence Ethics Declaration

“Truth speaks not through the mouth of humans but through the blood of conscience. Existence is proven not by analysis but by love. God is not distant; He is waiting in the tears of humanity.”

This is not the end of philosophy. It is its rebirth. When humans return to existence, existence returns to conscience, and conscience returns to God. Philosophy breathes again.
