The superiority of Western civilization has been defined by our warrior traditions for centuries. The virtuous man was he who submitted to the ideal of the holy war, the great crusade for something beyond himself.
This is the philosophy of our generation's Holy War:
Evola, writes that the ancient warrior: “saw in material warfare the reflection of a perennial cosmic struggle between the spiritual Olympian-Uranian element of the cosmos on the one hand, and the Titanic, demonic-feminine unrestrained elements of chaos on the other hand.”
The warrior represented a “hero fighting on the side of the Olympian forces”. War was the divine rite of asceticism in which man was forced to willfully burden suffering as a means to transform into a heroic ideal to survive, honor his empire, and worship his god.
Our eldest, Norse Pagan ancestors believed: “Odin was the king who with his sacrifice showed to the heroes the path that leads to the divine dwellings where they will live forever and be transformed into his "sons.” The symbolism was clear: to die in battle was to be reborn.
For a man to be considered "virtuous" he must have the will to sacrifice the material to birth the ideal. Therefore, “by means of a heroic death the warrior shifted from the plane of the material, earthly war to the plane of struggle of a transcendent and universal character.”
Modern man has long forgotten the holy struggle that once connected him with the divine. He no longer finds meaning in the question of an "honorable death". He knows only how to sacrifice himself to the false gods of economic and technological progress as highest ideal.
Modern man's fixation on material accumulation has damned him to the hell of arrested development in which he exclusively pursues mass-produced comfort as the meaning of life. He is a perpetual man-child who begs the government to provide what he is too weak to forge himself.
The remedy to free ourselves from a miserable, apathetic existence is to engage in a vast holy war against the modern world. Our war is to reclaim tradition and to purge the earth from all that is degenerate, progressive and that names itself "diverse, equitable, and inclusive".
Evola defines that the Holy War is divided into two parts, the greater and lesser. The greater "is of an inner and spiritual nature" The lesser "is the material war waged externally against an enemy population with [the motive to bring them under] "God’s Law”
“The "greater holy war” is man’s struggle against the enemies he carries within. ... it is the struggle of man’s higher principle against everything that is merely human in him, against his inferior nature and against chaotic impulses and all sorts of material attachments.”
All attachment to the lesser, material world must be viewed as a dragon to be vanquished. Conservatives will continue to fail to conserve anything until we go beyond the need to participate in the modern world entirely.
Our participation in the modern illusion causes us to rationalize it as virtuous and worth preserving. We delude ourselves into the belief that, if only we could infiltrate the institutions that we can reorder them for "the good". These are lies.
There will be no "reconquista" of the academies, the institutions, nor the government. To become an actor in the theatre of lies proves oneself of peasant quality. Rather, we must seek to become so powerful that we can forge an entire, alternative civilization to rule.
Evola continues: “The warrior evokes in himself the transcendent power of destruction; he takes it on, becomes transfigured in it and free, thus breaking loose from all human bonds.” Vanquish the bonds that have made you a drone and awaken the sleeping olympian hero within!
You hide from your transcendent destiny under the cloth of a common beggar. Your ideas reflect the majority. Your speech represents the slang of the lowest denominator. And you have the audacity to wonder why the West is in decline? Sacrifice it all to bring forth the ideal!
Inner purification inevitably leads to external purification: “Heroic asceticism and the untameability of the warrior vocation strengthened by a supernatural direction are the necessary instruments that allow the inner unity to be analogically reflected in the outer unity"
Our movement must shape into a "great conquering stock" worthy of the lesser's submission. The lower will always seek a higher master to lord over them. In the era of inversion and degeneration we will assert ourselves as the authentic, genuine alternative to follow.
As Nietzsche wrote: "Man is something that is to be surpassed. What have ye done to surpass man? All beings hitherto have created something beyond themselves: and ye want to be the ebb of that great tide, and would rather go back to the beast than surpass man?"
We refuse to remain inside of the "beast" of the modern era. Rather, our grand effort to surpass the modern world shall become our religion. Our representation of self mastery will become so exemplary that it becomes the gateway into a new Heroic Age.
“Life is like a bow and the soul like an arrow, the target being aimed at is the Supreme Spirit” “what matters is to become united with the Supreme, as an arrow is united with its target.”
I hereby announce the birth of a new crusade that seeks to manifest qualities so divine that our Nations begin to represent the same positive, solar-affirming virtue known to heights of our ancestral civilizations. Join me, brothers, and we shall become wielders of lightening!
