The Demetrian Race

Posted on 2015-06-07 by Aeneas

The other “spiritual races” of the cycle, to which our contemporaries belong, have as their premise a division and a separation of the two elements of “spirituality” and “virility”, and also “transcendence” and “humanity”, that are synthetically united in the solar race. First of all, we point to the lunar … Continue reading →

Esoteric Stoicism

Love becomes the highest goal, even higher than apatheia. Love, in this sense, is more than worldly friendship or family affection; it is a spiritual love. The overcoming of negative emotions, the state of apatheia, is preparation for this higher stage. Continue reading →

Fire and Ice: The Solar Race

Posted on 2015-05-31 by Cologero

the problem of the modern world is not a problem of thinking but rather of being. The error of the intellectual type is the belief that thinking the correct thoughts will somehow rectify things. Hence, there is incessant chatter and debate, which, apart from a few random conversions, always ends up in aporia. Continue reading →

The Eternal Race

Posted on 2015-05-24 by Cologero

In The Eternal Race, Julius Evola explains the doctrine of the “race of the spirit“. Unlike the race of the soul, which is contingent and changeable, the race of the spirit is transhistorical.

As I was working on a post, three items came to my attention for review. Since they touch on similar topics, I’ll weave traditional notions as part of the review. These are: From the German Conservative Revolution to the New Right (200 pages, softcover), by Lucian Tudor. The book deals … Continue reading →

Origin of the Race of the Soul

Posted on 2015-05-17 by Aeneas

Providence, Will, Destiny

Race of the Soul

Posted on 2015-05-10 by Aeneas

The Metaphysical Principles of the Infintesimal Calculus

Posted on 2015-05-09 by Logres

As someone who awoke rather late to the importance of mathematics (whose general use for the esoteric student is not only helpful, but even necessary), I decided to read my first full Rene Guenon treatise. The fundamental distinction which he makes is between the Indefinite and the Infinite. Since Wilhelm … Continue reading →

You were a model of perfection, full of wisdom, perfect in beauty; in Eden, the garden of God. ~ Ezek 23:12-13 I’ve been doing some preparation for the upcoming discussion on the sexes from an esoteric perspective.
