The most intelligent men like the strongest find their happiness where others would find only disaster, in the labyrinth in being hard with themselves and with others, in effort their delight is self-mastery, in them asceticism becomes second nature, a necessity an instinct.

"The stars incline the will but in no wise necessitate it. Frequently it comes to pass that astrologers foretell truths concerning the manner of men by reason of their proneness to follow the sensitive appetite... By this means it comes to pass, that he who knows the virtues of the Signs and the Planets therein placed, may foretell, if he knows when any creature is born, of the whole life of it."

"...in the Hindu sacred epics and purānas (popular tellings of ancient lore), the number of years reckoned to the present cycle of time, the so-called Kali Yuga, is 432,000; the number reckoned to the "great cycle" (mahāyuga) within which this yuga falls being 4,320,000. But then reading one day in the Icelandic Eddas, I discovered that in Othin's (Wotan's) warrior hall, Valhöll, there were 540 doors, through each of which, on the "Day of the Wolf" (that is to say, at the end of the present cycle of time), there would pass 800 divine warriors to engage the anti-gods in a battle of mutual annihilation. 800x540=432,000. And so I asked myself how it might ever have come to pass that in tenth-to-thirteenth century Iceland the same number of years were reckoned to the present cycle of time as in India." - Joseph Campbell (The Inner Reaches of Outer Space: Metaphor as Myth and as Religion, P.35)

"The birth of Christ is the central event in the history of the Earth - the very thing the whole story has been about."

"See the Creator of man made man in order that he who governs the world of the stars might suck milk, that bread might be hungry, that the fount might be thirsty, that light might go to sleep, that the way might be tired by the trip, that Truth might be accused by false witnesses, and that the judge of the living and the dead might be examined by a temporal judge and that justice might be condemned by the unjust. That discipline might be lashed by a whip, that the bunch of grapes might be crowned with thorns, that the foundation stone might be hung on a tree, that virtue might become weak, health wounded, and life itself might die."
+Saint Augustine

"The peculiar quality of the ‘joy’ in successful Fantasy can thus be explained as a sudden glimpse of the underlying reality or truth…But in the “eucatastrophe” we see in a brief vision that the answer may be greater—it may be a far off gleam or echo of evangelium in the real world…it has long been my feeling (a joyous feeling) that God redeemed the corrupt making-creatures, men, in a way fitting to this aspect, as to others, of their strange nature. The Gospels contain a fairy-story, or a story of a larger kind which embraces all the essence of fairy-stories." - J.R.R. Tolkien, On Fairystories.
"The Birth of Christ is the eucatastrophe of man’s history. The Resurrection is the eucatastrophe of the story of the Incarnaton. This story begins and ends in joy." - J.R.R. Tolkien, On Fairystories.

Asha Logos highlights the work of the secret societies behind the most defining moment of the devolution into modernity. A small number of cosmopolitan figures coordinated behind the scenes to seize upon populist sentiments of the unwitting masses. Those peasants of the proud empire of the Franks, and most of the historical record with them, were convinced that they themselves overthrew the Ancien Régime of the Church and Crown and took its power for themselves. In reality what seized power was not merely democratic but downright demonic, and more deliberate than any mob could be. It cannot be understated how much this moment represents a complete break from the traditional world. One only need look at the current state of things to recognize what forces took power then and how well they have expanded their Régime Satanique since.
'The French Revolution represents at once a fundamental shift towards modernity and an irrevocable loss of medieval materiality. Mobs burst into the monastery, cathedral, parish church, castle, or palace, dragged the manunoscripts out of the armoires where they had been stored for centuries, piled them in a mound in a public place, and lit the patrimony of the nation on fire. From the ashes modernity arose, but at a cost.'

You can't understand heaven if you haven't been through hell.
You can't be good if you don't know evil.
It's for those who have lost the most that victory tastes sweetest.
It's those who have worked the hardest that appreciate rest the best.
The branches of your tree will never reach heaven if you don't let your roots touch hell.

Two hours later we reach the mountain refuge, Gnifetti. We had left there, for our return, two very different and yet complementary things, a bottle of White Horse whiskey and a text of warrior asceticism, the Bhagavadgita.
