Faced with a decadent and doomed human order intent on destroying the Truth and Nature, Jouret and his followers saw their deaths as "not a suicide in the human sense of the term," but rather a "transit." "We are in a circle of fire," the notes claim.
Jouret's blend of hermetic gnosticism and more American-style apocalyptic survivalism is not unique—in the underground bunkers beneath Montana, Elisabeth Claire Prophet and her Church Universal Triumphant traffic with Enochian Ascended Masters while preparing for an imminent missile exchange with Russia.
Jouret's act forces us to recognize the religious motifs that lurk beneath even the most materialist assessments of the unraveling environment, as if all the secular tools of activist science and politics cannot help us dodge the West's great cataclysmic story.
