I don’t have any intentions for this to be any specific kind of channel. It’s not going to be a health and wellness channel, Buddhist channel, pagan channel, fedpost channel, music channel, politics channel, combat sports channel, or anything like that. In all likelihood it will be a bit of all of that. My main goal is to use this as a place to organize my thoughts, practice putting my thoughts in writing, and hopefully challenge some preconceptions with hot takes. It’s going to be real casual. I don’t presume to be an expert on anything. I’m just going to share my thoughts as they are, unfiltered, and hopefully that will be interesting enough for however wants to follow along.

I apologize in advance if my writing style isn’t great at first, I hope I’ll get better and better at articulating my ideas with practice. Hope you all enjoy the ride.

Everyone knows that every man of the Right should be lifting. That point has been hammered home a million times. But even more importantly, every man of the Right should be meditating. Spirit proceeds the material on every level. This is a spiritual war at its core. You need to sharpen your mind and strengthen your spirit if you hope to stay afloat in the Kali Yuga.

If you want to surf the Kali Yuga, you need balance. You need a center. You find that center through meditation.

Sit upright in a comfortable position, and focus on your breath. In, and out. Let your thoughts float across your mind, and let them go when they arise. Don’t chase any thought, just observe it as it passes, like objects floating down a stream or clouds moving across the sky. If you find your mind wandering, return your focus to your breath. Your mind is like a pool of water, it only becomes transparent when it is still. Start with a minute or two, work up to 5 minutes, then 10, then beyond. Its helpful to do it once a day, ideally more.

I’ll post some detailed guides later on. If you’re not meditating, start today. No matter who you are, you can find 5 minutes in your day to train your mind and spirit. Meditation is the foundation of your spiritual strength, its importance can’t be overstated.

May I become a protector for those without one,
A guide for those who have entered the path;
May I become a bridge, a boat and a ship
For those who wish to cross over.
May I be an island for those who seek one
And a lamp for those needing light,
May I be a bed for all who wish to rest
And a servant for all who want a servant.

-A Guide to the Bodhisattva’s Way of Life

The way of bodhicitta is the heroic path. The parallels with medieval knightly orders should be obvious.

In Japan, Buddhism lives in harmony with hierarchical, traditional, national, and warrior concepts. Only in certain Western misconceptions is Buddhism - considered in later and corrupted forms - presented as a doctrine of universal compassion encouraging humanitarian and democratic equality.

Julius Evola, The Doctrine of Awakening

"The old rites of [Śiva], which I [Mañjuśrī­] formerly taught, are described, by beings who dwell on the surface of this earth, as Śaivite.

Different rites of great value, taught by me, can be found in the Śaiva tantras."

- Ārya­ Mañjuśrī­ Mūla ­Kalpa, Chapter II, Verse 2.94

From a Vajra Brother

The compassion of Bodhichitta does not negate the warrior's will to power. It reframes it though. Instead of rising in power for power's sake, a path which traditional wisdom informs us that it inevitably leads to suffering and self-destruction, a bodhisattva warrior strives to become as powerful as possible, for his family, for his friends, for his race, for his nation, and ultimately for the sake of all sentient beings and all that is good in this Cosmos.

In other words, a bodhisattva warrior, is the Aryan Hero. When necessary, the Aryan Hero uses lethal force to re-establish Dharma in the world. This fact does not in any way contradict the Buddhist teachings on compassion since establishing Dharma IS an act of compassion, and sometimes, an act of heroic sacrifice.

Since the compassion of Buddhism is coupled with the destruction of delusions in order to see reality as it is, how is it possible for Buddhistic compassion to be synonymous with a naive pacifistic view on the use of Force and War?

Anger, and even wrath, has the potential to be a great source of inspiration for the development of an individual, as well as other human passions, like sexual desire. This is also the Tantric view on anger that's why there are multiple wrathful Tantric deities (Yamantaka for example). However, for a passion like anger to be utilized as a creative force a spiritual discipline is required, otherwise it is simply another cause for suffering.

“Once you had passions and called them evil. But now you have only your virtues: they grew out of your passions. You set your highest goal in the heart of those passions: then they became your virtues and joys. And though you were of the race of the hot-tempered, or of the lustful, or of the fanatical, or the vengeful; in the end, all your passions became virtues, and all your devils, angels. Once you had wild dogs in your cellar: but they changed at last into birds and charming singers.” - Nietzsche

Many on the Right have a spirituality still infected with dualism. Dualism puts the material and spiritual at odds. This perspective says the lower nature must be suppressed, crushed, and whipped into submission so that the higher nature can lead the way. I strongly oppose this view. The lower nature is sacred, just as the higher. The two are not at odds. The body is spirit made manifest.

Use your passions, use your visceral urges, and unite them with your transcendent will. Make your higher and lower natures pull in the same direction, and you will use all the boundless energy of your passions to pull you towards the transcendent. In the Chariot tarot card, the two sphinxes represent masculine and feminine, higher and lower, spiritual and material forces. Reign them both in, harness them, and you will bring all the energy of nature and spirit to bear together to fulfill your transcendent aims.
