The trinitarian model of consciousness conceptualizes consciousness as we know it and live it in Life. Through understanding the nature of our own subjective experiences - perceiving, feeling, thinking, willing - as conscious beings, or as souls, we can begin to understand the nature of God, from whom all our conscious souls are but emanations as sparks of the divine Logos.

"Man is made of thought, of will and of love: he can think truth or error, he can will good or evil, he can love beauty or ugliness. Now thought of the true — or knowledge of the real — demands on the one hand willing of the good and on the other love of the beautiful, hence virtue, for virtue is none other than beauty of soul; that is why the Greeks, who were aesthetes as well as thinkers, included virtue within philosophy."

"Without beauty of soul, all willing is sterile, it is petty and closes itself to grace; and in an analogous manner: without effort of will, all spiritual thought ultimately remains superficial and ineffectual and leads to pretension. Virtue coincides with a sensibility proportioned — or conformed — to the Truth, and that is why the soul of the sage soars above things and thereby above itself, if one may put it thus; whence the disinterestedness, nobleness and generosity of great souls. Quite clearly, the consciousness of metaphysical principles cannot go hand in hand with moral pettiness, such as ambition and hypocrisy : "Be ye perfect even as your Father in Heaven is perfect."

"Since the Greeks, ethics for Europeans have designated virtues whose practice forms the basis of the ‘good life’: generosity over avarice, honour over shame, courage over cowardice, justice over injustice, temperance over excess, duty over irresponsibility, rectitude over guile, unselfishness over greed, etc. The good citizen is one who always tries to strive for excellence in each of these virtues (Aristotle).
"This will to excellence does not in any way exclude the existence of several modes of life (contemplative, active, productive, etc.), each arising from different moral codes, and each finding their place in the city’s hierarchy. For example, European tradition, expressed in the ancient tripartite model, made wisdom prevail over force, and force over wealth."

"A High Culture reshapes entirely the economic practice of the populations upon whom it sets it’s grip; it reduces economics to the bottom of the pyramid of life. To a High Culture, economics has the same significance that the function of eating has to an individual."
Francis Parker Yockey@DissidentAesthetics
Modernity's preoccupation with maximizing the economic is a symptom of its disease. It has taken the true wealth of the West and created a culture plagued by the chasing of money. Its social system of intertwined industrial-complexes is entirely self-serving and exists only to perpetuate itself. Therefore the rebuttal to modernity must be holistic in scale and spiritual in scope. This is because the sickness stems from a pervasive proliferation of evil, or inversion of Tradition, throughout Western culture.

On the habits of our noble ancestors
“The Germans show no mercy towards women who prostitute their chastity. ... No one in Germany finds vice amusing, or finds it acceptable to seduce and to be seduced. ... Even more impressive is the practice in which only virgins of both sexes are allowed to marry”
“The marriage code is strict and honorable among the Germans and no virtue of their morality deserves higher praise than this. The men are unique among nations in being satisfied with only one wife. ... This is how the Germans live surrounded by virtue and chastity. ... Adultery is extremely rare, especially considering the size of their population.”
“The Germans have never tainted their blood by intermarriage with other nations. They are a distinct race, of pure blood and unmixed, unique and unlike any other nation because of this, their physical characteristics are the same among them, despite having such a large population: eyes intense and blue, golden hair, tall and strong bodies.”
- “Germania” by Tacitus, written 89 AD
