On various occasions we have insisted on the necessity of a radical revision of methods and criteria with which, in the order of common teaching and of that culture that claims to be serious, history is made. We demonstrated that history of true history does not grasp that the two … Continue reading

Through the Illusion, into the Dream
Gornahoor has been emphasizing the ancient ideal of polis over against the modern cosmopolitanism and egalitarianism. One might note that democracy is a code word; it certainly doesn’t stand for government of the people for the people – just ask the patriotic, conservative British Jew Glasman what happens when you … Continue reading
Yahweh’s Template – II

This path was recognized by Gurdjieff as being one of the three paths to transcendence, along with the mind (yoga) and the body (fakir). Although … Continue reading

“The essential American soul is hard, stoic, isolate, and a killer. It has never yet melted”. – DH Lawrence If it is true that the “Great Divide” was the Middle Ages, it might be worthwhile examining to what extent they remain with us, and how we might recover such. Ordinarily, … Continue reading
