Cessation of action stops the body, and cessation of thought silences the mind. That is meditation. What is left in the absence of the stimulation of both action and contemplation is unfettered consciousness. This is where Eckhart found God and where enlightenment begins. It is through denying the illusory mundane self of the exterior that one finds the true divine Self within.

Evola on Blood and Soil 1/2

"From a traditional point of view, between man and his land, between blood and soil, there existed an intimate relationship of a living and psychic character. Since a given area had a psychic individuality in addition to its geographic individuality, those who were born in it were bound to be deeply affected by it. From a doctrinal point of view we must distinguish a double aspect in this state of dependency, the former naturalistic, the latter supernaturalistic, which leads us back to the abovementioned distinction between 'totemism' and the tradition of a patrician blood that has been purified by an element front above.

The former aspect concerns beings who do not go beyond empirical and ordinary life. In these beings the collective predominates, both as a law of blood and stock and as law of the soil. Even if the mystical sense of the region to which they belong is awakened, such a sense does not go beyond mere 'tellurism'; though they may know a tradition of rites, these rites have only a demonic and totemic character and they contribute to strengthening and renewing rather than overcoming and removing, the law by virtue of which the individual does not have a life of his own and is thus destined to be dissolved into the subpersonal stock of his blood. Such a stage may be characterized by an almost communist, and at times even matriarchical social organization of the clan or of the tribe. What we find in it, however, is what in modern man has either become extinguished or has become nationalistic or romantic rhetoric, namely, the organic and living sense of one’s own land, which is a direct derivation of the qualitative experience of space in general. ..."

Evola on Blood and Soil 2/2

"... The second aspect of the traditional relationship between a man and his land is very different. Here we find the idea of a supernatural action that has permeated a given territory with a supernatural influence by removing the demonic telluric element of the soil and by imposing upon it a 'triumphal' seal, thus reducing it to a mere substratum for the powers that transcend it. We have already found this idea in the ancient Iranian belief that the 'glory,' the celestial, living, and 'triumphal' fire that is the exclusive legacy of kings, pervades the lands that the Aryan race has conquered and that it possesses and defends against the 'infidels' and the forces working for the god of darkness. After all, even in more recent times, there has been an intimate and not merely empirical relationship between spear and plough, between nobility and the farmers. It is significant that Aryan deities such as Mars or Donar-Thor were simultaneously deities of war and of victory (over 'elemental natures' in the case of Thor) and of the soil, presiding over its cultivation, I have already mentioned the symbolical and even initiatory transpositions that surrounded the 'cultivator' and the memory of it that remains in the derivation of the word 'culture.' Another characteristic expression lies in the fact that in every higher form of tradition, private ownership of the land as private property was an aristocratic and sacred privilege; the only people who could lay claim to the land were those who had rites in the specific patrician sense I mentioned in chapter 6 [https://news.1rj.ru/str/hyperboread/693], namely, those who are the living bearers of a divine element (in Rome this right belonged only to the patres, the lords of the sacrificial fire; in Egypt it belonged only to the warriors and the priests). The slaves, those without family names and tradition, were not thought to be qualified to own land because of their social status. For instance, in the ancient Nahua-Aztec civilization, two distinct and even opposite types of property coexisted. One was an aristocratic, hereditary, and differentiated type, that was transmitted together with one’s family’s social status; the second was popular and plebeian, of a promiscuous type, like the Russian mir. This opposition can be found in several other civilizations and is related to that which existed between the Uranian and the chthonic cults. In traditional nobility a mysterious relationship was established between the gods or the heroes of a particular gens and that very land; it was through its numina and with a net accentuation of the meaning (originally not only material) of ownership and lordship that the gens was connected to its own land, so much so that, due to a symbolical and possibly magical transposition, its limits (the Greek ἕρκος and the Roman herctum) were regarded as sacred, fatal, and protected by gods of order such as Zeus and Jupiter; these are almost the equivalent, on another plane, of the same inner limits of the noble caste and of the noble family. We can say that at this level the limits of the land, just like the spiritual limits of the castes, were not limits that enslaved but that preserved and freed. Thus, we can understand why exile was often regarded as a punishment of a seriousness hardly understood today; it was almost like dying to the gens to whom one belonged."
