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…
Memetics, much like neurobiology and quantum mechanics, is a modern science of much use in (re)uniting the "hard" sciences to spirituality.

Art is artfulness, entwined with invention & techne.
To believe it is pure 'expressoin' robs it of these qualities. But even among those who will agree with this, perhaps unbeknownst to yourselves, you believe it is about expression, as this 'definition' entraps as a label.

Art, being craft, is not made 'magic' via your innermost twee emotions or petty performance of 'affectation' - it is, when done properly, made magic via a national, fraternal, esoteric GUILD SYSTEM.

For science to have ever divorced itself from religion was its greatest failure

Keep the purity of your noble body by practicing chastity in diet and habit; maintain the piety of your noble soul with mindfulness and reflection
All the purity spirals that are frequently tossed around only harm the pursuit of a noble soul. Those that believe nobility stems from some specific genetic markers, phenotypic characteristics, or ethnic labels are lost and confused. That is not to say these things are not useful tools - they are real and do point to certain trends - but fixating on them obscures the truth which is ultimately spiritual. Then there are pagan revivalist and political extremist types who will often fall into these traps on a broader scale in their attempts to unite "Europeans" or "whites" or "Caucasians" or "Aryans." These labels - which point to real, very different, categories - do the true histories and true faiths of real peoples injustice. Those pushing them in the name of "ethnic" faith or nationalism do not accomplish anything more than diluting the meanings behind these labels in the name of vain pride.
This will be the first in a series deconstructing these labels and painting a truer picture of the "European" people.

For the ‘the fount of everflowing nature’, that tetractys, is not only the eternal cause of being for all things, but also of their well-being, spreading its own good throughout the whole cosmos like a pure and intellectual light. The soul that holds fast to this cause and that like an eye that wipes itself clean to see clearly is roused to prayer by its concern for the beautiful, and then again, as a consequence of fulfilling its vows, it intensifies its zeal, joining deeds to words and confirming important deeds through dialogues with the divine. By making its own discoveries on the one hand, and by being enlightened on the other, it strives for what it seeks in prayer, and seeks in prayer what it strives for. Such is the union of prayer and zeal.

But ancient excellence yields strength in alternate generations of men; the dark fields do not give fruit continuously, [40] nor are trees accustomed to bear an equal wealth of fragrant flowers in every circling year, but in alternation. And thus the race of mortal men is led by Fate. But no clear sign comes to mortals from Zeus. Nevertheless we embark on bold endeavors, [45] longing for many deeds, for our limbs are bound by shameless hope, while the streams of foresight lie far away. But we must hunt for due measure in our love of gain. The madness of unattainable desires is too sharp. - Pindar, Nemean Ode 11
