“How should we be able to forget those ancient myths that are at the beginning of all peoples, the myths about dragons that at the last moment turn into princesses; perhaps all the dragons of our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us once beautiful and brave. Perhaps everything terrible is in its deepest being something helpless that wants help from us.
So you must not be frightened if a sadness rises up before you larger than any you have ever seen; if a restiveness, like light and cloudshadows, passes over your hands and over all you do. You must think that something is happening with you, that life has not forgotten you, that it holds you in its hand; it will not let you fall. Why do you want to shut out of your life any uneasiness, any miseries, or any depressions? For after all, you do not know what work these conditions are doing inside you.”
― Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

Meditation Instruction -How to meditate. Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche. Shambhala
Chögyam Trungpa gives a general orientation to meditation in the Buddhist tradition and gives meditation instruction. This is essentially the same basic instruction that he gave throughout the time he was in the United States. It is also virtually identical…

Philosophers can never hope finally to formulate these metaphysical first principles. Weakness of insight and deficiencies of language stand in the way inexorably. Words and phrases must be stretched towards a generality foreign to their ordinary usage; and however such elements of language be stabilized as technicalities, they remain metaphors mutely appealing for an imaginative leap.

I got this question in my DMs
How worth do you think it is running for office? Like running for governor or senator?
Ask yourself, wouldn’t it be amazing if someone with our sorts of values had the public stage had the ability and the power to craft legislation or to direct hundreds of millions of dollars of resources as the chief executive? To have someone with political legitimacy that could rally people into a real cause, maybe even position themselves for higher office?
Of course it would be amazing.
But there would be personal sacrifice, the media would try their best to defame and destroy you, your life would never be normal again, your family would be harassed.
Since I was a little kid, I wanted to be involved in politics. But I realized I would be a Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. It discourage me from the idea. But in the MAGA ENVIRONMENT, if you played your cards, right, made the right friends without compromising your integrity, you could sneak in.
You’d have to decide how open you want to be about your real views, and how much you conduct silently behind closed doors. How you might use Normie justifications towards our ends, Or maybe you don’t and you act like Ron Paul and build a cult following, and bring our ideas into the mainstream.
It’s up to you. I’d rather have every single one of us on our local school board making decisions that affect our community, than all of us behind our computer screen.
And that’s how I think about that.

All things are in flux; the flux is subject to a unifying measure or rational principle. This principle (logos, the hidden harmony behind all change) bound opposites together in a unified tension, which is like that of a lyre, where a stable harmonious sound emerges from the tension of the opposing forces that arise from the bow bound together by the string.

Milarepa and Demons
Spiritual and psychological journeys almost always encounter opposition. In Tibetan Buddhism, the opposition sometimes is represented by demons who act to distract monks and nuns in their meditation. A belief in demons is not an essential feature of Buddhist…
Milarepa, an 11th century Tibetan adept, and a remarkable, original, and colorful story teller, describes his spiritual trials in the classic work The Hundred Thousand Songs of Milarepa. The tales of his journey exhibit a theory of demons and describe an untiring practice, a path of spiritual growth, from the point of view of the pilgrim. Milarepa, who in his past killed people—innocent as well as harmful—to avenge wrongs done to his family, is redeeming his life by his struggle with demons. In his songs Milarepa depicts his experiences with demons—evil, malign beings whose destructive natures are due to bad karma—who assault him as he makes progress in his spiritual practice.

The anti-our-current-era attitude is gay.
I don't say anti-modern because "modernity" has become a term with specific connotations and should be seen as a specific paradigm or way of framing reality.
So I will agree that modernity in this sense is gay but I will not agree that the time period in which we find ourselves is gay.
It is actually because YOU are gay, because you're too much of a fucking FAGGOT to grab your nuts and exert your will on the world that you have to sit there and feel some type of way about how the world is treating you.
No great man ever frames things in this way. For him, it's never how the world is treating him it's about how he is treating the world.
For the great man every obstacle and trial and struggle was an indispensable aspect of his development and journey towards BECOMING a great man. Without these he would be nothing.
Therefore he gives THANKS for resistance because it is to the strife which he owes all that he is. He doesn't bitch about it and give endless examples about why he CANT.
The Right is just a White equivalent of coping Blacks about systemic racism and their slave past and whatever else - its just the White version is White so it comes up with all of these really brainy reasons and intellectual framings for why they can't.
Boil it down to what it is though and it's just gay victim mentality and low will cope. It's actually hilarious because it's LITERALLY the opposite of Aryan master morality. Its the antithesis of what it means at the core to be Aryan which is fundamentally about exerting will.
Yet what do they do? You know what they do folks, 14ARYANWARRIOR88 has entered the chat to kvetch about parasitic jews and violent blacks and degeneracy which he can only see as oppressing him.
And why is this? Because he is reacting to the stimuli that is modernity. He is reacting because this is the first step.
To be clear, I'm not saying that this itself is the issue. I'm not saying recognizing legitimate critiques about modernity is a problem, no, this is absolutely a necessary part of the process. But it IS a process and too many of our guys are not recognizing the process and have become stagnant.
They have become lodged into a particular view which is incapable of dealing with the dynamic reality they are faced with - and THIS is why their movements continue to fail and why their personal lives continue to fail.
The issue is remaining in the antithesis stage instead of synthesizing a working and practical WILL based operating system that allows you to go forth and dominate your environment instead of being dominated BY your environment and using all of your energy + resentment about being dominated to generate infinite COPE about why you CANT.

THE ISSUE is that reactionary stances against modernity are invalid as fuck. Reactionary means you're never in the driver's seat and that you're only in motion because someone else is. It means you're not really sovereign and that you lack your own creative will and vision.
This reactionary nature is probably the biggest problem with the Right.
It makes it closed minded, unimaginative and stagnant. It is only able to derive meaning and purpose from an idealized past.
Our identity should be grounded in and honor our past (what would we be without it?) but we must acknowledge we are in an ever churning process of becoming.
This is why Archeofuturism.
And so the reason I do not attribute an absolutely negative frame to the era we inhabit is because I am seeing how it is not intrinsically "anti-spiritual" or degenerate or anything like that.
Of course there is an ass load of corruption in the world and resistance that we face but this isn't really the problem - our issue is how we are reacting to this. The issue IS NOT these "negative" forces themselves.
This is an important thing to grasp because the symptoms we feel [such as depression, apathy, nihilism, the meaning crisis, etc] are not inherently from the forces in the world but the way that we are experiencing - this is to say that the issue is our mind and how we are framing things.
The point is that the negative effects we feel are downstream of our framing. The emotions are downstream of the paradigm.
Most people exist in a self defeating paradigm because they don't get that it's all about becoming more efficient at dealing with reality, at SHAPING reality.
They think that reality is objectively a particular way. And the fact they solidify this frame so absolutely has a profound effect on their will and ability to operate. It all happens at a subconscious level which is why they remain so (un)blissfully ignorant of it.
THIS IS WHY THEY FAIL - because they are externalizing internal problems and thereby taking away their own power. Literally using their own power to tie their hands and have no fucking clue its going on.
It is because they are ossifying them into an absolute objectivity, literally creating an unbeatable monster.

If reality is indeed process and becoming then what we are seeing in modernity is just another act of the cosmic play.
It's an era of transformation and evolution. We could say that it is the growing pains - all of the symptoms and ills that we experience are merely growing pains.
And let's not get too carried away with all of these negatives. I'm sick of people acting like the age we live in is nothing but bullshit, like there aren't any pros or benefits to existing in the 21st century.
Sorry that it just takes some of your own fucking initiative to forge your path through life nowadays instead of having someone brainwash you into what your "duty" is.
And the infinite resource you have now holy fucking shit yes this is what Nietzsche meant by last man, zero will and going to squander any opportunity given to you because IT HAS TO COME FROM WITHIN - and you don't have it because you're gay!!!

So much of this anti-modern sentiment is just more of that reactionary horse shit, that "romanticizing my melancholic solitude" which people actually believe in.
Yes please go be a fucking a serf for some feudal lord - they worked less than wagies anyway right! Yeah that means they had it so much better!
Lmao wiggas really eat up these memes and think they'd lead such a based and heroic life in the TRAD AGE.
Bruh you can't even get pussy IN A WORLD FULL OF SLUTS.
So much of this shit is sexual fixation - virgins!!! Where are the virgins???? The West has fallen there are no virgins!!!! AHHHHHHHH
Can't fight or fuck is one thing we can work with and train up but WONT fight or fuck is something completely different.
Niggaz dont want virgins because of their purity they want virgins because they are scared of getting laughed at. Every of the brave of spirit who lost their v card early knew this same fear and CONQUERED
These people fantasize about arranged marriages in the based trad days because they are fucking pussies who can't go get a woman on their own. They want it handed to them just like they want their fucking lives structured for them by their feudal lord.
