“The Bogdo clapped his hands and one of the secretaries took from a red kerchief a big silver key with which he unlocked the chest with the seals. The Living Buddha slipped his hand into the chest and drew forth a small box of carved ivory, from which he took out and showed to me a large gold ring set with a magnificent ruby carved with the sign of the swastika.

"This ring was always worn on the right hand of the Khans Jenghiz and Kublai," said the Bogdo.”

"Having explained the spirit that animated the caste system, it is now necessary to discuss the path that is above the castes and is directed at implementing the realization of transcendence—in analogous terms to those of high initiation, yet outside the specific and rigorous structures characterizing it. On the one hand, the pariah is a person without a caste, the one who has 'lapsed' or who has eluded the 'form' by being powerless before it, thus returning to the infernal world. The ascetic, on the other hand, is a being above the caste, one who becomes free from the form by renouncing the illusory center of human individuality; he turns toward the principle from which every 'form' proceeds, not by faithfulness to his own nature and by participation in the hierarchy, but by direct action. Therefore, as great as was the revulsion harbored by every caste toward the pariah in Ancient India, so, by contrast, was the veneration felt by everybody for a person who was above the castes. These beings, according to a Buddhist image, should not be expected to follow a human dharma, just as one who is trying to kindle a fire ultimately does not care what kind of wood is being employed, as long as it is capable of producing fire and light."

- Julius Evola in Revolt Against the Modern World

"First of all, Buddhism does not know any 'gods' in the religious sense of the word; the gods are believed to be powers who also need liberation, and thus the 'Awakened One' is acknowledged to be superior to both men and gods. In the Buddhist canon it is written that an ascetic not only becomes free from human bonds, but from divine bonds as well. Secondly, moral norms, in the original forms of Buddhism, are purported to be mere instruments to be employed in the quest for the objective realization of superindividual states. Anything that belongs to the world of 'believing,' of 'faith,' or that is remotely associated with emotional experiences is shunned. The fundamental principle of the method is 'knowledge': to turn the knowledge of the ultimate nonidentity of the Self with anything 'else' (whether it be the monistic All or the world of Brahmā, theistically conceived) into a fire that progressively devours any irrational self-identification with anything that is conditioned. In conformity to the path, the final outcome, besides the negative designation (nirvāņa = 'cessation of restlessness'), is expressed in terms of 'knowledge,' bodhi, which is knowledge in the eminent sense of superrational enlightenment or liberating knowledge, as in 'waking up' from sleep, slumber, or a hallucination. It goes without saying that this is not the equivalent of cessation of power or of anything resembling a dissolution. To dissolve ties is not to become dissolved but to become free. The image of the one who, once freed from all yokes, whether human or divine, is supremely autonomous and thus may go wherever he pleases, is found very frequently in the Buddhist canon together with all kinds of symbols of a virile and warrior type, and also with constant and explicit references not so much to nonbeing but rather to something superior to both being and nonbeing. Buddha, as it is known, belonged to an ancient stock of Aryan warrior nobility and his doctrine (purported to be 'the dharma of the pure ones, inaccessible to an uninstructed, average person') is a very far cry from any mystical escapism. Buddha's doctrine is permeated by a sense of superiority, clarity, and an indomitable spirit, and Buddha himself is called 'the fully Awakened One,' 'the Lord.' "

This channel is anti-populist, non-conformist, harbours contempt for the working and middle classes, it is the enemy of the cults of the flesh, it is anti-capitalist, anti-american in the wider sense of the word, anti-social, and anti-liberal, it hates the economy, scientism, and it denounces sports and 'culture'.

However, and more importantly, it celebrates and values silence, good activity and works, Being, Nature, Science, Victory, Life, Love, Distance, Freedom, Duty, Dignity, mysteries and myths, Culture, and all those things that is and was cherished in the world of Tradition.

"The possession of Knowledge, unless accompanied by a manifestation and expression in Action, is like the hoarding of precious metals-a vain and foolish thing. Knowledge, like wealth, is intended for Use. The Law of Use is Universal, and he who violates it suffers by reason of his conflict with natural forces."

Decay constantly attacks the potential of unrealized action. Entropy always weakens the inactive will. Death awaits those who rest; immortality awaits those who Will and Act.

"And these mountains which thine eyes have seen,
The mountain of iron, and the mountain of copper, and the mountain of silver,
And the mountain of gold, and the mountain of soft metal, and the mountain of lead,
All these shall be in the presence of the Elect One
As wax: before the fire,
And like the water which streams down from above [upon those mountains],
And they shall become powerless before his feet.
And it shall come to pass in those days that none shall be saved,
Either by gold or by silver,
And none be able to escape.
And there shall be no iron for war,
Nor shall one clothe oneself with a breastplate.
Bronze shall be of no service,
And tin [shall be of no service and] shall not be esteemed,
And lead shall not be desired.
And all these things shall be [denied and] destroyed from the surface of the earth,
When the Elect One shall appear before the face of the Lord of Spirits."

'Demonic' are those worlds called,
in blind darkness they are cloaked;
Into them after death they go,

“I confess your goodness to me has been extreme. I will preserve to my dying breath the respect, duty, and tenderness which I owe you; but is it possible that you should desire me to prefer worldly greatness to my salvation? I value the crown as nothing; I am ready to lose the scepter and life too, rather than abandon the divine truth.”
– Saint Hermenegild, King of the Visigoths.

"I shall die ! I shall die ! . . . but no matter, no matter.
. . . The cause has been launched and will not die. ... I know the roads this cause will travel. The tribes of Jenghiz Khan's successors are awakened. Nobody shall extinguish the fire in the heart of the Mongols! In Asia there will be a great State from the Pacific and Indian Oceans to the shore of the Volga. The wise religion of Buddha shall run to the north and the west. It will be the victory of the spirit. A conqueror and leader will appear stronger and more stalwart than Jenghiz Khan and Ugadai. He will be more clever and more merciful than Sultan Baber and he will keep power in his hands until the happy day when, from his subterranean capital, shall emerge the King of the World. Why, why shall I not be in the first ranks of the warriors of Buddhism Why has Karma decided so? But so it must be!” - Baron Roman Ungern von Sternberg

"For others, it seems rather to be: is he Christian or pagan? For our part, we do not think that such a point of view is necessary, for true esoterism is something completely different from outward religions, and if it has some relationship with it, this can only be insofar as it finds a symbolic mode of expression in religious forms. Moreover, it matters little whether these forms be of this or that religion, since what is involved is the essential doctrinal unity concealed beneath their apparent diversity. This is why initiates have always participated without scruple in all forms of worship, following the established customs wherever they happened to be. Dante understood this fundamental unity also, and for this reason - and not by virtue of any superficial 'syncretism' - employed a terminology borrowed indifferently from Christianity and Greco-Roman antiquity, as circumstances required. Pure metaphysics is neither pagan nor Christian, but universal."

Debating dogmas is unequivocally un-aristocratic

'Plato knew as well as the Scholastic philosophers that the artist as such has no moral responsibilities, and can sin as an artist only if he fails to consider the sole good of the work to be done, whatever it may be.*1

But like Cicero, Plato also knows that “though he is an artist, he is nevertheless a man”*2 and, if a free man, responsible as such for whatever it may be that he undertakes to make; a man who, if he represents what ought not to be represented and brings into being things unworthy of free men, should be punished, or at the least restrained or exiled like any other criminal or madman.

It is precisely those poets or other artists who imitate anything and everything, and are not ashamed to represent or even “idealize” things essentially base, that Plato, without respect for their abilities, however great, would banish from the society of rational men, “lest from the imitation of shameful things men should imbibe their actuality,”*3.' - Ananda Coomaraswamy

A GLIMPSE OF THE HEIGHTS

In these lessons we shall ask you to consider certain fundamental reports of the reason, and the conclusions arising therefrom. In order that you may understand that which the Axioms of REALITY are designed to unfold into your conscious recognition,—that you may see in advance the aim and goal of the journey,—we invite you to carefully consider the following Fundamental Postulate in which is condensed the spirit of the basic teaching embodied in these lessons. A "Postulate" is "something asserted, to which assent is challenged or demanded."

In the Axioms of REALITY , and the teaching based thereon in the following lessons, the points covered by the Fundamental Postulate will be unfolded gradually, argued logically, and the reports of reason stated. In the Fundamental Postulate we are afforded a glimpse of the Path over which we shall travel,and the heights which we shall attain. In the Axioms of REALITY we have the various ledges or planes of the inquiry. Step by step we shall advance on the Path. Each Axiom affords a resting place and a halt. The student should master each step, and never leave the resting place of any Axiom until he has fully acquainted himself with it and associated it with those which precede it.

FUNDAMENTAL POSTULATE

I. There exists an ultimate, infinite, and eternal principle of REALITY which is the essence, nature, substance, and principle of All-that-is. This principle of REALITY is the certain Something which abides, invariable and constant, as the essential principle in all things, all creatures, all entities, all beings, and which precedes and survives all their changes of form, shape, state, and condition. This principle ever remains itself, notwithstanding the infinite and eternal change in form, shape, state, and condition in which it may occur, appear, or present itself. This ultimate, infinite, and eternal principle is known as REALITY .

II. REALITY is Absolute Unity. It is Independent and Free; Whole, Complete, and Perfect; Original and Causeless; Eternal; Infinite; Ultimate; Absolute; Formless; Indivisible; and Immutable. REALITY is Infinite Substance, Infinite Energy, Infinite Life, Infinite Law,Infinite Mind.

III. REALITY is in Eternal Creation. It is the support and background for the phenomenal appearance of numberless universes incessantly manifesting and disappearing. It is the changeless REALITY manifesting the eternal law of change. It is the unconditioned and absolute ground for all that exists conditionally. In Itself it is All-That-Is. In its Creation it is All-that-Appears; uncreate, it is The-All. Its Creation appears as the Cosmos.

IV. The Universe, with all contained therein, is created in and by REALITY considered as Infinite Mind. All Creation exists as Idea in the Infinite Mind of REALITY . The Will of REALITY is Universal Energy. The Pure Logic of REALITY is Universal Law. The Being of REALITY is Universal Life. The Substance of REALITY is Universal Substance. The Infinite Mind of REALITY , in its Ideative and Volitional activities, is the Creative and Conative Power of the Universe.

V. REALITY is immanent in its Creation, and in every part thereof. In the characters of its conscious creations it manifests itself as the artist in his work, the poet, playwright, or writer in his characters. The created universe is the cosmic dramatization of REALITY , through which it lives and acts, moves and plays its infinitude of parts. REALITY , being indivisible and immutable, is imminent in each of its creations in its Totality of Being. In and back of each conscious being is the Presence and Power of REALITY . REALITY is immanent in You. Hence the following:
