Boris Mouravieff, when teaching on polar-beings in Gnosis, references the existence of the Golden Book, an oral (if also incomplete) compilation of Jesus’ teachings to the inner circle of disciples. It is only fair to point out that (like the exoteric-esoteric paradox of Christianity itself), the idea of a written … Continue reading
General Law
After finishing Gnosis 1,2,&3, the concept of General Law stands out as very nearly the most important paradox in the book we can grasp, if we want to grasp daily practical implications. This concept has political implications, as well as personal: No one escapes General Law – it is impossible. … Continue reading
Tradition & the General Law
Before beginning this post, several definitions of terms peculiar to Boris Mouravieff’s work: “A Influences” : sensate pressures and resulting spiritual tendencies, along with the cosmic hierarchies which keep them in “tutelage” (see St. Paul in Galatians 4) “General Law“: the karma which keeps the men in bondage to the … Continue reading
When Time Flows Back
One night I fled, beyond the dread, And looked for place to lay my head, So thought upon the sainted dead, Yea, how it was if they were gone. Oh, wished it well, for such a spell, As would surely one truth tell, How when at tripping heart’s last knell, … Continue reading
The Maid of Destiny
To the Queen of Heaven & inspired by Eliot’s Sunday Morning… “Young Mary of the sky-blue cloak, The lily hands, the dusty feet- Indefectible awoke, From her soul’s noetic heat. She held an angel in her eye, She spoke the flame with Seraphim- Interchanging earth and sky, Shock the changeless … Continue reading
Palamidessi reads Evola
There is an Italian commentary on, and reprinted text of, a letter from Evola to Tomasso Palamidessi here. Although this is not a translation, this is a rough survey of the contents of the letter, with a transliteration attempted at certain points, to convey or emphasize the meaning. The commentator … Continue reading
The Wisdom of God
Our interpreter, T. Palamidessi echoes George Heart’s interpretation of Mouravieff: The times require the cooperation of all, and we offer a way which is safe, swift, direct, towards the overcoming of one’s own moral, psychic, spiritual and biological states…Certainly the Catholic Church if it wanted to, without contradicting itself, could … Continue reading
When the King Enjoys His Own Again
When Cromwell presided over the Puritanification (and therefore, the ultimate modernization) of England, the common people were not necessarily fooled as to what the end result would be. For them, it was mainly about the lack of charity and feasting, yet the beginning of the song makes clear that they … Continue reading
Reversing the Modern Spell
Cologero writes: There is nothing here to oppose effective rites and rituals, or even the acts of a traditional science. After all, the physical world itself is a symbol, a reflection, of the metaphysical. But that is a topic in itself. From the writings of the UR Group: Yet it … Continue reading
Making the Modern Mind
Sometimes it helps to meditate on what is good by looking at the opposite, at least for those of us who only have “intimations of deprivation” and have not yet found our true center. This kind of “cautionary tale” meditation or meditating “by negative example” is very easy in Western … Continue reading
