Book Overview.
Cognitive Distortion – Complete Trilogy.
In this integral edition, Antoine Bachelin Sena offers a profound analysis and a realistic therapy for the contemporary rupture between thought and the density of reality – a rupture he calls cognitive distortion.
From the inner chains of the individual to the collective illusions that threaten civilization, this ambitious trilogy forms a progressive path of diagnosis and restoration.
Volume 1: The Inner Chains.
Modern symptoms (digital addictions, identity crises, consumerism), defense mechanisms, and concrete philosophical exercises to regain personal authenticity.
Volume 2: The Veils of the Soul.
How distortion obscures the quest for the sacred. Contemporary spiritual crisis, resistances to the transcendent, and grounded spiritual practices to lift the veils.
Volume 3: The Collective Illusions.
Societal propagation of distortion: ideological narratives, social engineering, soft tyranny. Concrete strategies for individual, community, cultural, and political resistance.
Inspired by Olavo de Carvalho, Roger Scruton, and Xavier Zubiri, this work is not merely a critique: it is a call to inner rebellion and rebirth – personal, spiritual, and civilizational.
An essential book for understanding the crises of our time and rediscovering the taste for reality, truth, and authentic freedom.


Preface.
This trilogy entitled “Cognitive Distortion” was born from a deep conviction: contemporary man suffers from a disease of the soul whose very name he often ignores.
This disease is neither an isolated clinical depression nor a mere passing malaise; it is a progressive and systematic rupture between thought and the density of reality.
I call this rupture cognitive distortion – not in the narrow sense of behaviorist psychology, but in a broader philosophical sense: a lasting deformation of perception that drives the individual, and then society as a whole, to live in a “second reality” that is more comfortable, more controllable, but radically impoverished.
This second reality, constructed by ideologies, algorithms, consumerism, and ambient relativism, protects us from complexity, limits, and suffering, but it also deprives us of truth, beauty, and meaning.
It chains us inwardly, veils our relationship to the sacred, and ultimately undermines the very foundations of civilization.
The three volumes that make up this trilogy form a progressive path of diagnosis and restoration:
– The first volume, “Cognitive Distortion & Modern Man: The Inner Chains,” explores how this distortion takes hold of the individual: its daily symptoms, its defense mechanisms, and concrete philosophical exercises to free oneself from it.
– The second volume, “Cognitive Distortion & Spirituality: The Veils of the Soul,” raises the gaze to the transcendent dimension: how distortion obscures the quest for the sacred, distorts our relationship to God or the mystery of existence, and how a spirituality grounded in reality can dispel these veils.
– The third volume, “Cognitive Distortion & Society: The Collective Illusions,” completes the picture by analyzing the societal and political consequences: dominant ideological narratives, social engineering, loss of civilizational cohesion, and the paths to collective resistance founded on truth and the density of reality.
Inspired by thinkers such as Olavo de Carvalho, Roger Scruton, and Xavier Zubiri, this trilogy is not a mere critical essay.
It is an invitation to inner rebellion: to refuse collective illusions, to face reality without fleeing, to become fully human again in a world that does everything to divert us from it.
May these pages contribute, modestly, to restoring in the reader the taste for reality in its full thickness – the condition of all true freedom, personal and collective.
