\nNoli foras ire, in te ipsum redi: in interiore hominis habitat veritas.<\/em>
\nDon’t go outside yourself, turn back into yourself; the truth resides in the interior of man.
\n ~ St. Augustine<\/strong>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nThe following passage is taken from Ultima Thule<\/strong> by Arthur Branwen<\/a>, where he is describing the beginning of Evola\u2019s interest in prehistory. [My translation.]\n<\/p>\n

\nThe central idea of this Evolian study, that along with other of his writing of that time shows the guiding influences of a new cultural perspective different from this earlier interests, was that in Germany of those years, there was emerging a type of culture intended to promote a spiritual and political rebirth that takes as its starting point the study of the most archaic roots of the German, and European, people. A culture that does not stop at pure erudition and tends instead to create a forma mentis, a reflection of a new state of mind tending to abandon the Spenglerian Decline of the West<\/em>, not assimilable in any way to the various sciences of antiquity studied in an \u201cantiseptic\u201d manner in the universities which, on the other hand, in themselves do not demand any interior change and do not change in any way the relationship between man and the world.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nIn other words, one cannot hope to understand these ancient myths without oneself becoming spiritually like the people who created those myths. One has to know the way they thought and felt, that is, their forma mentis. Man cannot be studied from the outside as though he is nothing but a chemical reaction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
