The Possibility of Liberation

Posted on 2012-07-25 by Cologero

Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Nevertheless, it is much more reliable than wishful thinking. In The Multiple States of Being, Rene Guenon explains Traditional doctrine in Western terms, free of religious symbolism and Sanskrit terms. The universal Whole, or Absolute, can also be considered from the … Continue reading →

Letters from Guenon to Evola (II)

Posted on 2012-07-22 by Cologero

The Truth is too high to receive the least insult. It is unfortunate that we don’t have Evola’s letter to Guenon, although we can surmise what it contained. We see in this dialog, that Guenon is always the master. We have to agree with Guenon that Evola misunderstands certain principles … Continue reading →

Orientations: Point 4

Posted on 2012-07-22 by Aeneas

⇐ Point 3 Point 5 ⇒ Here a new vision is put before our eyes. The regression of castes must be walked back up, but in today’s undifferentiated world, one’s caste is unclear. New spirits will awaken, but not from the expected places. This has nothing to do with economic classes. … Continue reading →

Twenty something years ago, a fellow, let’s call him Paul, belonged to my circle of friends. Like Travis McGee, he lived on his yacht in Bahia Mar. I recall that he was once on the Sally Jesse Raphael late night talk show in a segment about handsome and eligible millionaires. … Continue reading →

Donoso Cortes, Carl Schmitt, Bonald

Posted on 2012-07-19 by Cologero

Nowadays, “discussion” has become commodified, the saleable product of cable news and journals of opinion; there is no longer even the pretense of a “search for truth”. Learn the reasons why. I don’t believe that Carl Schmitt’s monograph on Donoso Cortes, mentioned by Julius Evola, has been translated into English. … Continue reading →

Nietzsche, Aquinas, Dante

Nietzsche’s claim to fame is as a psychologist. In that, he can be very insightful in exposing hypocrisy, ressentiment, and the like. In that as a side effect, he is a creator of the modern world which has replaced discussion and dialog with accusation. Today, a man’s ideas are barely considered, but instead his motives are questioned; certain points of view are even considered to be “mental illnesses”. Continue reading →

Posted on 2012-07-15 by Aeneas

⇐ Point 2 Point 4 ⇒ First of all, what is that “legionary spirit” and where is the evidence for it today? That spirit has nothing to do with hot-headedness, emotional outbursts, or partisanship. Rather, it is characterized by an iron will, a sense of order, rationality, mental sobriety, the ability … Continue reading →

General Law

Posted on 2012-07-13 by Logres

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 →
