In ancient times there lived, it is supposed on the highest elevation of Central Asia, a noble race of men, called the Aryan. Speaking a language not yet Sanskrit, Greek, or German, but containing the dialects of all, this clan which had advanced to a state of [pastoral] civilisation had recognised the bonds of blood, and sanctioned the bonds of marriage. That they worshipped Nature,— the sun, moon, sky, earth,— a comparison of ancient religions and mythology in the lands peopled by Aryans, demonstrates. Their chief object of adoration was the Sun. To this race, in the infancy of its civilisation, the sun was not a mere luminary, but a Creator, Ruler, Preserver, and Saviour of the world.

If you haven't already, watch Asha Logos' Subverted History series on YouTube or another platform. His production is impeccable and his wealth of knowledge is illuminating. The history of our people goes much deeper than a being a mix of related tribes. We were one race led by an unbroken royal lineage back to the genesis of "Indo-European" culture which, according to its own most ancient accounts, itself stems from the far more ancient Atlanteans and Hyperboreans. Our genetic and cultural lineage is shared, in varying degrees, in peoples all across the globe that met our ancestors in war and peace.

"If there is something specifically peculiar to the Aryo-Western tradition, it is the spontaneous joining together of free men proud of serving a leader who is really such." - Julius C. Evola

My reading and inspired ranting is being held up by work and family again. Fear not, OC quotes and rants will come frequently again. In the mean time I hope you don't mind all the forwards from other great channels I see in those windows of time I get to catch up with the wider world.

Perhaps, then, someone might say: “Then are you not ashamed, Socrates, of having followed the sort of pursuit from which you now run the risk of dying?”

I would respond to him with a just speech: “What you say is ignoble, fellow, if you suppose that a man who is of even a little benefit should take into account the danger of living or dying, but not rather consider this alone whenever he acts: whether his actions are just or unjust, and the deeds of a good man or a bad."

~Plato, The Apology of Socrates

The Supreme Divine Personality said: O Arjun, The persons who are transcendental to the three guṇas neither hate illumination (which is born of sattva), nor activity (which is born of rajas), nor even delusion (which is born of tamas), when these are abundantly present, nor do they long for them when they are absent. They remain neutral to the modes of nature and are not disturbed by them. Knowing it is only the guṇas that act, they stay established in the self, without wavering.

Those who are alike in happiness and distress; who are established in the self; who look upon a clod, a stone, and a piece of gold as of equal value; who remain the same amidst pleasant and unpleasant events; who are intelligent; who accept both blame and praise with equanimity; who remain the same in honor and dishonor; who treat both friend and foe alike; and who have abandoned all enterprises – they are said to have risen above the three guṇas.

Bhagavad Gita

Those who serve me with unalloyed devotion rise above the three modes of material nature and come to the level of Brahman.

I am the basis of the formless Brahman, the immortal and imperishable, of eternal dharma, and of unending divine bliss.

Bhagavad Gita

For everything that is qualified is not what it is absolutely - for example, that which is qualifiedly beautiful or qualifiedly equal; quality, being a characteristic, makes something beautiful or equal in a particular way, so that quality is not to be applied to the One in the essential and absolute sense, in order that it may not become a particular kind of One instead of the One itself. If, then, the One Itself and the primal entity are the same, and the primal entity is God, it is plain that the One Itself and God are the same, and that is not some particular God, but God Himself. Those, then, who say that the first God is Demiurge or Father are not correct; for the Demiurge and the Father is a particular god. This is obvious, for not every god is demiurge or father, whereas the first principle is simply God and all gods are gods through it, but only some, such as are demiurges, through the Demiurge, and fathers, through the primary Demiurge or Father. Let the One then be termed simply God, as being the cause for all gods of their being gods, but not for some particular gods, as for instance demiurgic or paternal or any other particular type of godhead, which is a type of qualified divinity, not divinity in the simple sense.

Proclus, Commentary on the Parmenides 1096

Thus all beings proceed from, and are comprehended in the first being; all intellects emanate from one first intellect; all souls from one first soul; all natures blossom from one first nature; and all bodies proceed from the vital and luminous body of the world. And lastly, all these great monads are comprehended in the first one, from which both they and all their depending series are unfolded into light. Hence this first one is truly the unity of unities, the monad of monads, the principle of principles, the God of Gods, one and all things, and yet one prior to all.

Thomas Taylor, The Theology of the Greeks
