Love the past, not for the mere fact of its past but for the very fact that it was the true existence in the spirit, as well as the material.
Every action presumes a horizon of values – when we act we either want to make our lives a little better, or prevent it from getting worse. Human beings are created as social creatures always pulling together. Working as units they accomplish a lot more together than they could on their own. Thus people in pre- postmodernism, naturally thinking and acting in terms of collectives discovered farming, & animal domestication. They settled and soon formed villages, towns, and cities. From tribal life arose more distinct and larger races of folk. From the warrior/ hunters arose the toughest, and wisest forming the warrior, and priest classes (this is of course a most simplistic explanation, yet true.). Those who by deed very justly became the ruling classes, those who set precedence, and law. From all the folk arose the culture of a nation. And yes there was corruption, but there was a true Law that held the world together, and this Law is still as true, and as viable today, as it always is, and always will be.
Today, people watch the news and see their ‘leaders’ giving nice answers to questions those leaders were not asked. Many tire of arguing in terms of ideologies such as ‘Socialist’, ‘Liberal’, ‘Capitalist’, ‘Conservative’- of conceiving the political world as a clash between Progressive and Conservative forces, all this is false and deluded. To be Progressive necessarily entails the question: “In progression towards what?” And just what are these CON-servatives conserving? They are a force for entropy just as virulent as the liberals. In the days of chivalry a man was liberal, and conservative all at once, these words meant far different things than the modern lingo of deconstructionism. To find truth in this age of disinformation, and misinformation we need consult the words of Great men and traditions from our past if we are to make sense of where we are going at all, yet we do not want to get stuck on their words alone. We must through spiritual discipline come into our own understandings and intuition to speak of these truths in our own words. And we see open up before us this very truth about the Law mentioned previously. This is not the Law of the jungle, and most assuredly not an idea like all political systems today; it is an all present reality a metaphysical truth of governance, and the human soul.
The leaders of the folk, warriors they were, rode at the front of the line for they were the children of the Sun, illuminating and eternal, had no fear of death. They did their duty with glory and honor – today their descendents are servants of the pencil pusher, and the puppets of the money-men who have created a world wherein lays naught but the power of mammon! We are allowing our modern means of life to turn us into herd animals – always following the latest hypes of fashion, watching the most popular television, and videos on our tweet machines . . .
Meanwhile the relations between people are growing ever shallower; we have forgotten the great questions of life in exchange for that cool tweet, that shallow and empty sound bite. Despite our technological pursuits our happiness is not increased – by contrast people are taking more antidepressants than ever. People like these rather require that they meet acquaintances with referral to a sort of internal script. If a ‘conversation’ goes off-script at all they are totally shocked and, furthermore, they are angered at the other participant for not obeying the strict social politically correct rules which bind us.
Here in the fallen world do the sophists slide up and down the chair of power! A puppet show displayed to give the feeling of control, while the opposite is the fact! We are ruled by an order that is essentially incompatible with a vocabulary that can formulate the question of that order’s legitimacy in non-subjective terms. This is a very important and complicated problem that goes back upon the contract-philosophy and the Postmodern view of life.
There is no clear-cut answer to offer as we first strive to formulate the appropriate way of asking the question. In this we should all be involved. But at least we are willing to face the existence of the problem: That our once glorious people are rapidly becoming a mob of flaky, atomistic, whimsical and short-term thinking individuals. Swiftly dropping left, and right those glorious traditions taught, and maintained by classical education. Trading in the purposeful, focused way of masters, for the fleeting and unfocused way of “choice”. And this we cannot call ‘Freedom’ – because human nature herein is not free to fulfill its transcendent purpose, and achieve its full potential when surrounded by shallow people. Our relations to others become increasingly empty and vacuous, while all things are interconnected, the human is disconnected from the truth about themselves, and connected to, and wholly invested in the great lies they have “chosen” from the choice of the one they have been given.
Yet all believe in the illusion of ‘Freedom’ and safety set up by their masters. The path of safety trodden, and the ideal is sacrificed for the comfort of the masses, for this convenience is their right! The nihilist world of excess, with the goal of suicide, a world slipping further into entropy- the anti paradise. The dystopian age of disinformation and psychic enslavement.
Arise from the slumber! As the lion roar against the foes of our folk, yet be humble elsewhere. Live not as a zombie embalmed by the cathode ray, but as the hero who lives for the glory of light… the Sun! The standard bearers of the Solar Standard, those who walk the path of virtuous living! The torch bearers of the ancient, and Sacred nobility of the Soul!
