The Great Reset
We thought we won with God by becoming gods to ourselves. Worshipping ourselves, we lost the ability see the truth and we fail every mental health stats since then. Self-referential world demands artificial means to dull the soul. Artificial means make us emotionally starved, spiritually depleted.
We do not know how to interact with nature any more, we despise its laws and benefits. Even the healing beauty is replaced with apps: waves on your app are putting your to sleep, music from your app is soothing or energizing you, films in your app are entertaining you, shopping in your app is delivering specific items to your door, AI is answering your moral dilemmas. We started with washing machines and dishwashers. Ovens and coffee makers. Then we fell right into tv dinners. Suddenly, the future of bioengineered food is already here. The cloud seeding is changing our climate. The artificial wombs are being tried in secret. Genderless pronouns are forced to be respected in the name of progress and self-truths. Psychedelics are shortcutting spiritual experiences.
Neo-Pagans and New Agers are reconnecting with the nature in spirit; and esoteric ways to gain higher consciousness and energetic power to feel, free and empower self. To have better self value, not determined by any external obligations. The environmental groups are treating grass, mushroom and water as gods to whom we should bow and protect them more vigorously than the unborn children. Abortionists are offering easy and painless procedures, euthanasia is being sold as compassionate pursuit of humanitarian help.
Christian biblical cosmology is replaced with tech, AI has answer for everything. Greta Thunberg and Elon Musk are idols. She says the future is bleak and we need to cut exploitation of Mother Nature, he says the future is great and we need to conquer the stars. We cry over whales caught up in nets but turn our heads away from the unborn kids in nets of faulty arguments.
The Great Reset dismantled the family and convinces the young and zealous that self worth depends on values determined on their own, with their wild untamed passions running its course and ego hijacking their conscience. Woe to anyone telling you are wrong. The victimization runs the Congress of civilization’s heart and the offense became the President signing the laws into power.
The only place where we can communally enter ecstatic beauty of cosmos is liturgical remembrance and an actualization of creation centered around Christ giving Himself, Holy Spirit creating and upholding creation, Father lovingly reaching out to the broken and removed from Himself humanity which tries to heal itself without end. That means communal Eucharistic worship sending us out to create domestic order which will witness of Christ crucified, and resurrected with its full expression of rest-oration and re-new-al of a human being.
We have lost the ability to trust for every day food, and shelves full of food are our only hope. Baking bread is a skill considered extra. We don’t rely on prayer but on insurance. We feel in control but death is lurking behind our artificially gain information. Wisdom patiently waits for us to hold grain in our hands, to waste time on meditation, to be so tired to not have time for the next catchy social event. Even fasting revolution became a scientific routine stripped of spiritual power, serving the physical, forgetting the heart of the matter. Hildegard’s vision for a whole person healing is a vision for today. It unites the super-natural and natural means, heaven touching earth.
Stripped of the reasonable and sober self-reflection, detached from the soil and circadian rhythm, surrounded by plastic solutions and disintegrated social order we cry for the Spirit to bring us back more than individual healing. We cry for the image of God in us to regain its will, for us to become God’s likeness. To become the icons of the living God who breaths its liveliness into our clouded intellects, to inject hope into our weakened will. We cry out to see the glory of the Suffering Servant becoming resurrected Son of Man, King of the Peace suddenly standing among us, dispersing confusion, fear, conquering deadly sins, breathing the Spirit into our own ideas of greatness, changing us into the children of Light from the slaves of lust.
Awakening. Renewal. Revival. Goes beyond transforming our ‘sphere of influence’. It must bring back the Kingdom of the worshipping angels and living saints to the earthly realm. The real must become the true point of reference. The apostolic fortitude needs to be recreated in every generation.

Instructor: Iwona Bednarz-Major
In March 2023 I passed an exam in St. Hildegard’s von Bingen Studium. Academic Theological Course and became “First Degree Specialist in the St. Hildegard’s Sciences” issued by the Papal Faculty of Theology in Wroclaw where I studied theology before becoming a full-time missionary and having a family.
I am continuing the studies this year to become Second Degree Specialist in the St. Hildegard’s Sciences focusing on the full application of Hildegard’s sciences about man, universe, and God including learning the diagnostic system for the spiritual and physical human condition and on harmonious integration of spirituality with a lifestyle that cures, heals and brings a human being closer to God.
Having and experience introducing Hildegards’ mystical experiences, her prophetic and healing gifts, her natural medicine skills and knowledge, her apostolic fearlessness, her breakthrough in worship, music and arts, her leadership skills and dedication to building a community in my Lectio Divina and School of the Heart Courses that I have created for Stone to Flesh, in the past year I have now gained new knowledge from many experienced practitioners specializing in her sciences: theologians (biblical and dogmatic theologians), philosophers (medievalists, anthropologists), clergy (Benedictine spirituality and new evangelization focus, an exorcist and religious including St. Hildegards’ relics custodian Benedictine nun, musicians, medical doctors (family doctor, gynecologist, therapist, physiotherapist, pharmacologist), and from the oldest Hildegards’ health food and ingredients producer.
I am very eager to start sharing all insights I have gained and start practicing St. Hildegard’s lifestyle with other enthusiasts of her holistic health, well-being, and Benedictine spirituality.
