Who isn't informed by sociology of masses altogheter

2016-12-15 01:35:37 UTC  

Cannot adhere to a faith, culturally and aesthetically purified

2016-12-15 01:35:47 UTC  

Such as let' say, reconstructed Nordic neopaganism

2016-12-15 01:36:22 UTC  

why not?

2016-12-15 01:36:31 UTC  

Because it's a gimmick

2016-12-15 01:37:17 UTC  

hmm. i think aesthetics has its place as well

2016-12-15 01:37:43 UTC  

ultimately the truth is deeper than any aeshtetic

2016-12-15 01:38:05 UTC  

but you need something to wear, so to speak

2016-12-15 01:38:08 UTC  

I would say my "pagan" also includes Buddhas teachings

2016-12-15 01:38:13 UTC  

and Upanishads

2016-12-15 01:38:16 UTC  

yes, definitely

2016-12-15 01:38:21 UTC  

same here

2016-12-15 01:39:29 UTC  

So your belief system is not informed by a reconstructed and purified Nordic revival right

2016-12-15 01:39:45 UTC  

You are kind of trying to connect as many dots using whatever is available, correct ?

2016-12-15 01:40:00 UTC  

Whatever you think is relevant and substantial

2016-12-15 01:40:24 UTC  

correct, but I choose to focus it in reconstructed Nordic religion as an aesthetic choice

2016-12-15 01:40:47 UTC  

i think the interesting belief systems are very intimately connected, they aim at the same truth

2016-12-15 01:41:05 UTC  

and I happen to like Nordic culture

2016-12-15 01:41:17 UTC  

so it's a bit of a Frankenreligion I guess

2016-12-15 01:41:25 UTC  

Yes, but that aesthetic choice is after all, a folksih choice

2016-12-15 01:41:44 UTC  

Much more to do with folkish identiy, rather than transcendence

2016-12-15 01:42:17 UTC  
2016-12-15 01:42:24 UTC  

Of course, we can say Eddas and Nordic myth are very good, purely Aryan philosophical sources

2016-12-15 01:42:56 UTC  

yeah, frankenreligion

2016-12-15 01:42:58 UTC  

good word

2016-12-15 01:43:30 UTC  

but it ends up closer to my heart (so to speak) than the specific available religions

2016-12-15 01:44:43 UTC  

Well, once a person really moves beyond, or more precisely, when prayers and salvation fades from his mindset

2016-12-15 01:44:57 UTC  

He does kind of marry himself with certain aesthetics

2016-12-15 01:45:06 UTC  

Aesthetics of distance, dignity, warrior spirit

2016-12-15 01:45:19 UTC  

Nordic or Slavic aesthetics display that sure

2016-12-15 01:45:32 UTC  

yes, exactly

2016-12-15 01:45:54 UTC  

And then only all these immigrations, agitations, unwashed masses start to really disgust him

2016-12-15 01:46:18 UTC  

What gets me is all the glory, heroism and sacrifice being thrown away

2016-12-15 01:46:34 UTC  

in favor of paper thin ideals like "equality"

2016-12-15 01:46:45 UTC  

In favor of trivialities really

2016-12-15 01:46:58 UTC  

One life, one completely irrelevant spark

2016-12-15 01:47:22 UTC  

Hey, theres a fate of nation being decided in Syria, an entire historical moment

2016-12-15 01:47:39 UTC  

Yet they post photos of this or that kid, somebody who tweeted from Aleppo or whatever

2016-12-15 01:48:07 UTC  

Sense of greatness is like gone for good, only that matters is some social drama

2016-12-15 01:48:20 UTC  

I think we have a chance of reviving it

2016-12-15 01:48:32 UTC  

I'm not a particularly special person and I feel the emptiness
