2016-12-15 01:28:50 UTC

2016-12-15 01:28:52 UTC  

Great book

2016-12-15 01:28:55 UTC  

Probably my favorite

2016-12-15 01:29:05 UTC  

doctrine ?

2016-12-15 01:29:20 UTC  

Yes, I think it's his clearest

2016-12-15 01:29:23 UTC  

About general concepts

2016-12-15 01:29:23 UTC  

i stopped at half-way of practice part, since i culdnt proceed with practice

2016-12-15 01:29:28 UTC  

but principles parts is pure gold

2016-12-15 01:29:51 UTC  

It's kind of impossible to really practice ascesis if you don't live alone

2016-12-15 01:29:55 UTC  

oh wow. goosebumps reading that

2016-12-15 01:29:57 UTC  

decadence

2016-12-15 01:31:38 UTC  

"They know not warriors, only soldiers."

2016-12-15 01:31:57 UTC  

Yeah, modern war as a large scale hostage situation

2016-12-15 01:32:05 UTC  

save civillians and stuff

2016-12-15 01:32:34 UTC  

this is really gold

2016-12-15 01:32:38 UTC  

"It no longer knows Wisdom. It ignores the majestic silence of those who have mastered themselves: the enlightened calm of seers, the exalted reality of those in whom the idea becomes blood, life, and power. Instead it is drowning in the rhetoric of "philosophy" and "culture", the speciality of professors, journalists, and sportsmen who issue plans, programs, and proclamations."

DIR, were those articles on Amerika yours ?

2016-12-15 01:33:55 UTC  

Oh i cheked now

2016-12-15 01:35:05 UTC  

I'm of a feeling that anybody today, who is beyond all these agitations of faiths, of Muslims, Evangelicals, all these masses, social pathos, problems, global suffering

2016-12-15 01:35:15 UTC  

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
