"This being the case, it is no wonder the superior races are dying out before the ineluctible logic of individualism, which especially in the so-called contemporary 'higher classes,' has caused people to lose all desire to procreate. Not to mention all the other degenerative factors connected to a mechanized and urbanized social life and especially to a civilization that no longer respects the healthy and creative limitations constituted by the castes and by the traditions of blood lineage. Thus proliferation is concentrated in the lower social classes and in the inferior races where the animal-like impulse is stronger than any rational calculation and consideration. The unavoidable effects are a reversed selection and the ascent and the onslaught of inferior elements against which the 'race' of the superior castes and people, now exhausted and defeated, can do very little as a spiritually dominating element.

Though today people talk more frequently about 'population control' in view of the catastrophic effects of the demographical phenomenon that I have compared to a cancer, this still does not address the essential issue, since a differentiated and qualitative criterion does not come into play at all. But those who oppose population control on the basis of traditionalist and pseudomoralistic ideas, which nowadays amount to mere prejudices, are guilty of an even greater obtuseness. If what really matters is the greatness and the might of a stock, it is useless to be concerned about the material quality of fatherhood unless an equal concern for its spiritual dimension is present as well in the sense of superior interests, of the correct relationship between the sexes, and above all, of what is really meant by Virility—of what it still signifies on a plane that is not merely naturalistic."

- Julius Evola, Revolt Against the Modern World

If all laws come from God, why speak of ethnonationalism rather than divine or Christian nationalism?

"On earth, the divine Sun is veiled; as a result the measure of things become relative, man can take himself for what he is not, and things can appear to be what they are not; but once the veil is torn, at the time of birth which we call death, the divine Sun appears; measures become a absolute; beings and things become what they are and follow the ways of their true nature."

Frithjof Schuon

"What shall we think of the attitude that regards Jewry, Rome, the Catholic Church, Freemasonry, and Communism as more or less one and the same thing, just because their presuppositions differ from the plain thinking of the Folk?

The Folk's thinking along these lines threatens to lose itself in the dark, where no differentiation is possible any more. It shows that it has lost the genuine feeling for the hierarchy of values, and that it cannot escape the crippling alternative of destructive internationalism and nationalistic particularism, whereas the traditional understanding of the Empire is superior to both these concepts." - Julius C. Evola, Misunderstandings of the New Paganism.

The mistake many of our contemporary individuals, especially in religious and spiritual circles, is the emphasis on "difference" in order to "transcend". I will spare you the genealogy and examples of this for now, but suffice it to say that here you will find an interesting array of demons conspiring against you.

The general idea among many seems to be that in order to "transcend" or "ascend" (a notion that itself is rather dubious in this context) this or that aspect of oneself or the world, one has to become, to use Masonic terms, a complete man for anothers gain. To clarify, there is a general notion of having to kill oneself in the quest for "ascention", to violently do away with that which is human in order to become what is more than human. In the area of religion this is seen in the impulse found mostly in the neo-pagan circles (likely one of their inheritances from Nietzsche) of wanting to surpress "Abrahamism" (a profane word used purely in secular literature, and bad secular literature at that, the criticism of which equally belongs to the secular and profane domain most often than not), in the less stupid cases sometimes in favour of some "aryan" or "solar" religiousity, a seemingly healthy attitude all things considered.

However, the mistake, in this as in most cases, comes from a place of ignorance. By killing yourself you have not transcended anything or anyone, despite what the demon that convinced Kirilov of the veracity of its claims would have you believe. Similarly, as Evola always maintained, in the domain of religion nothing is gained from neo-paganism except further confusion and a greater tendency to make an error in judgement. The superior, far from being different or external, actually contains within itself that which is inferior to it (consider what Plato proscribed for those incapable of ruling themselves). Some people are indeed necessarily the slaves of God, without there being anything necessary wrong about that, simply just because it prevents their falling into error and doing evil. Recall what Evola says about the potential the Catholic dogmatism and moralism has had and have in preventing "worldly mysticism and suchlike eruptions from below from passing a certain frontier;" and that "it makes a strong dam that protects the area where transcendent knowledge and the genuinely supra-natural and non-human elements reign--or at least where they should reign."

Even just the meaning of the word "transcend" suggests to us that our humanity is a necessary component of the process of leaving it behind, and that far from being anti-Christian we should be super-Christian. This is also why in any traditional society there were lesser, often lunar or even cthonic, mysteries (in Islam comparable both to the lesser Jihad and to Sharia), and greater mysteries of a more heavenly and Uranic direction (in Islam comparable both to the greater Jihad and to I believe Tariqa). Just like when you enter a church, you are not actually leaving the church just because you enter the sanctuary, you are rather taking a very significant step from the exoteric world of the church, with its morality and dogma and faith, into the esoteric world of certainty and knowledge and operativity.

Of course the actual situation today isn't necessarily so pretty but it serves the purpose of an illustration, if you will.

It is actually not a surprise at all that nearly all neo-pagans are either Americans, intellectuals, or Americanized intellectuals, since these are all groups that, either thanks to a protestant or illuminist influence, or some combination of the two, are prone to find themselves, illegitimately, in opposition to any "limit" or "restriction" under normal circumstances. Those from nations of Protestant history and tradition are simply more exposed to a very malicious tendency that has its origin, though in an inverted sense, in Rosicrucian and other Western Esoteric initiatory organizations like that of the "Faithful of Love".

Hegel, though we can be no means condemn him, was unfortunately influenced by this "protestant messianism", to conjure up an example. This same kind of messianic tendency only appears in the Catholic countries after their secularization, with for example the kinds of A. Comte, the father of sociology.


There are of course a lot of generalizations and oversimplifications here, which you need to keep in mind.

"For just as in the epic is reflected only the finite (the infinite in all its manifestations is alien to it) - while, in contrast, the exoteric tragedy is the actual impression of public morality - so the dramatic form is most suitable for the esoteric representation of religious doctrines. Those who penetrate the shell and reach the meaning of the symbols and have proven themselves through moderation, wisdom, self-conquest, and devotion to a non-sensate world will pass into a new life and, as adepts, see the pure truth as it is, without the mediation of images."

If you are barely reading the introductions to Evola's works and his own more introductory essays just to get to the 'meat' of his work that you have to re-read several times over before you 'get it,' you are honestly better off not reading him at all. You should be re-reading multiple times Evola's explanations of the most basic concepts he uses and frankly ignoring the glamorous Hyperborean-Atlantean and Solar-Aryan rants. Those symbols only have their proper meaning once you have actually understood what Evola means by the words he uses.

The great value in Evola's writing is not that he talked about those symbols, because many others have, but the way he exotericized them. If you take the time to truly grasp his foundational concepts you will find a much more complete and fulfilling meaning to those esoteric symbols but also more mundane concepts like race. Most misunderstandings come from readers who read quotes of Evola's without the context of what he really means by matters of spirit. Give the genius his due, and study him properly.

Immediately after these are the mortal gods, who are like what we call heroes and earthly gods or companions to heavenly gods— that is, kings, princes, and pontiffs who rule the world and dispose laws. We admire, worship, and venerate [such people] as gods, because God Himself has allowed His name to be shared, and with His own name has secured it to them, calling them gods, just as Moses said: “I have made you a god to Pharaoh.” He [also] taught elsewhere, saying: “You will not speak ill of the gods. . . [We read] elsewhere [in Psalms]: “God stood in the council of gods, but in their midst He judged the gods” and somewhat later: “I have said you are gods and all of you sons of the Most High.”

Hence, all ancients called their princes gods and worshipped them as divine powers, as Janus testified in the first book of Ovid’s Fasti, saying:

I reigned then when the gods of earth were powerful
And deities mixed with the bodies of humans.

The divine Plato wrote in the third book of The Republic that princes alive or dead should be celebrated with divine honors. This instruction was always received from all nations and from the first age—that is, to deify princes with divine honors and consecrate them with an eternal memory. Hence, they imposed their never abandoned names to cities, provinces, mountains, rivers, lakes, islands, and seas; then pyramids, colossi, triumphal arches, trophies, statues, shrines, games, and festivals were dedicated with great pomp. They also called the heavens, stars, days, months by their names; hence, January is from Janus, July from Julius, August from Augustus, thus the day Hermes from Hermes Trismegistus, and the day Jove from Jove.

Therefore, kings and pontiffs—but only if just—are companions to gods and strengthened by a similar power. Hence, they can cure the sick by only their touch or word and sometimes command the seasons and heavens, as Virgil sang of Augustus:

It rained the entire night, the shows in the morning returned:
Jove and Caesar share command.

…Likewise, Alexander the Macedonian marched his army. Sometimes [these godlike men] exert an influence by prophetic spirits, as we read of Caiaphas in the holy noscriptures that he prophesied that he would be the high priest that year. Therefore, since the Lord of the earth desires that kings and pontiffs be called gods and share their names and powers, surely it is appropriate that we deserve good from them and their judgments before ours and clearly obey, beseech them, and adore and worship them with every kind of veneration and revere the Most High God in them. [35. Of mortal and earthly gods.]

The Almighty God, as [Hermes] Trismegistus said, molded two images like himself—namely, the world and man—in which with one he would play in certain wonderful operations, but in the other, he might enjoy his delights. Since God is one, He created one world; since He is infinite, He created a round world; since He is eternal, He created an incorruptible and eternal world; since He is immense, He created the greatest world; since He is the sum of life, He has also adorned the world with vital seeds, begetting everything from itself; since He is omnipotent, with only His own will, He created the world without any necessary nature and no preexisting material, but from nothing. Since He is the sum of goodness, He embraced His word, which is the first Idea of all things. He did this with His greatest will and essential love, and made the outer world from the model of the inner. [The inner world] is the ideal world, yet nothing was transmitted from the essence of Ideas, but rather [God] created [the outer world] from nothing. He accomplished this through the Idea from the eternal.

Mercury Trismegistus.

God also created man in His image: for, as the image of God is the world, thus the image of the world is man.

…The image of God is the world, and the [image] of the world is man.

Nevertheless, the true image of God is His Word, wisdom, life, light, and truth, by which He Himself exists, of which the human soul is the image. Accordingly, we are said to be made in the image of God, not in the image of the world or creatures: for, as God cannot be touched, perceived with ears, or seen by eyes, thus the soul of man cannot be seen, heard, or touched. As God is infinite and cannot be compelled, thus the human soul is free and cannot be forced or measured. As God bears the entire world and all that is in it entirely in His mind, thus also the human mind embraces [the world] even in thought, and that which is singular only to God. As God moves and governs the entire world with only his nod, thus the human mind moves and rules his body with only a nod. Therefore, it is necessary that the mind of man is sealed with the Word of God and the human body endued to the most complete model of the world.

…Therefore, whoever recognizes himself will recognize that all things are to be found in himself. He will first recognize God, from whose image he was made; he will recognize the world, whose likeness he bears; he will recognize all creatures, with which he is a symbol, and what aid he can have and can obtain from stones, plants, animals, elements, the heavens, daemons, angels, and how each [thing] is made to fit in their place, time, order, measure, proportion, and harmony, attracting and repelling from itself like iron to a magnet.

Geber taught in the Sum of Alchemy that no one can come to perfection in this art if he does not recognize those principles in himself. But by how much more one recognizes himself, by that much he achieves a greater power of attracting it, and by that much more he works greater wonders and will rise to such a great perfection, that he is “made a son of God and transformed into the same image, which is God.” [36. Of how man was created in the image of God. ]

— Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa, Third Book of Occult Philosophy

Mithra, 2021, Dale

"Thus we can dearly see the difference between this perspective and the above-mentioned psychoanalytical theories concerning the subconscious or collective unconscious, in which the latter has become a sort of grab bag containing all kinds of things, all of which are considered, more or less, in terms of 'life;' 'atavism;' and the 'irrational:' What such theories regard uniformly as the 'unconscious' should rather be considered the superconsciousness. It is simply ridiculous to regard myths and symbols as manifestations or archetypes of 'life;' considering that their nature is essentially metaphysical and that they have nothing to do with 'life;' unless we are talking about their empty shells. It is pointless to remark, as C. G. Jung and Richard Wilhelm have done, that any positive consideration must be limited to the study of the manifestations of the 'unconscious;' understood as pure experiences, without any reference to transcendent elements.

The truth is that when there are no firm reference points, there is no hope of orienting oneself through various experiences, of understanding and evaluating them, especially when experience as a whole is abusively identified with some of its particular modalities, which at times are even affected by pathological factors. This has been abundantly demonstrated by the outcome of all the various psychoanalytical interpretations. These attempts fail to reach the plane of the spirit. Moreover, even when they do not lead to a subnormal world of neuropaths and hysterics by producing such aberrations as those found in Sigmund Freud's Totem and Taboo, they nevertheless produce (as in the case of Jung's theory of 'archetypes') confused perceptions that are greatly influenced by the new superstitious cult of what is 'vital' and 'irrational,' thereby proving not so much to lack assumptions as to have mistaken ones."

- Julius Evola, Mystery of the Grail

"Blood and spirit. The connection between the two has often been claimed, insofar as blood corpuscles and serum also show a spiritual correlation. Here we must differentiate between material and spiritual layers—a dual game of the worlds of images and thoughts. Yet in life both are closely allied, and only
rarely are they separate from each other. Images are carried off by the torrent of thought."
~ Ernst Jünger
