Julius Evola - Lost Interview

Lost and unpublished interview with Julius Evola with subtitles. This interview deals with the themes of his works and his life, exposed in his book "The Path of Cinnabar." The interview took place in 1971, little before the death of the Italian author."

Anything good in it?

Yes. He discusses many subjects, including WWII and his involvement with Himmler, Traditionalism, Mysticism, etc.

Why are you namefagging?
im curious

I mean Evola is just a heap of nonsense so probably not.

Thanks fam, I'll check it out this evening.

Can someone with more time on their hands than I have link his works? Specifically, Ride the Tiger, Men Amongst the Ruins, and Revolt Against the Modern World. His others are good too but require that you have a good foundation of these works for what he's teaching. In a perfect world every last one of you would be required to read at least these three books before forming an opinion on the current state of the world.

Why do you say that? Him being associated with new age faggotry is a contrivance of the left. We allowed them to do the same shit with Jung and now they've established a complete hegemony on behavioral psychology. His arguments are fairly well crafted and explore the biologically driven differences between ours and the left's metaphysics quite well for his time.

Pretty weak, Levi.

Did a bit of research on the guy - he seems alright - perhaps i'll give it a listen.

Historian Aaron Gillette described Evola as "one of the most influential fascist racists in Italian history"

Currently reading Revolt Against the Modern World & it's breddy gud…. a tough read but v interesting.

I keep trying to get into Evola, but he seems like /x/-tier made up mystic bullshit.

How does a soulless, materialist athiest like me find the transcendent?

DMT

By having mystical experiences. What you're doing now is not conducive to having those experiences just like how hermitage is not conducive to having social experiences. Change your environment and yourself and it will come by.

Never tried it, but liberty caps work too.

How does one have a mystical experience?


Without illegal drugs?

By meeting big daddy demiurge Ximself, you can do this by blowing your brains out.

It's for medical reasons, goy, so it's not (((illegal))).

The demiurge is a bot. I AM who I AM

...

Ask for one with a completely open and sincere mind.

You don't. As a matter of fact it's a pure anomaly that you are not a leftist. Or if you are, quid pro quo.

I'm not. I don't like my world view, but my feelings have no impact on reality.


Ok. So I'll just be waiting.

The problem most people have with Evola is that his works get over their heads, which is understandable. His text can come off as a politicians ramblings - talking a lot, but saying very little. I believe this is not the case with Evola though. I did attempt to sink my teath into his works, but found it very hard to grasp.
What you need is the prior knowledge on the subjects that encompass Evolas works. You need to read up on religion, spirituality, metaphysics and traditions. Then I would highly recommend the works of Mircea Eliade, which I myself am currently reading. His work is easy to grasp and gives you the much needed ground work to understand the writings found in the Traditionalist School, i.e Evola, Guénon etc. In his own words, his books are intended for today's audience, and not for initiates. (You can find some pdf's of his works on /pdfs/)
Then there is what this user said.
Try going to church, engage in the traditions and rituals we have. Don't celebrate Christmas with todays materialist fixations, focus on the religious, spiritual and traditional aspects of it. Don't just buy a gift for your loved ones, make something instead, preferably something that involves some effort.
These are two parts of the same subject and they compliment each other. Look at it like two flint rocks that sparks the flame that lights up your spirit.

For anyone who doesn’t understand why esoterism exists, and why it’s so gosh-darn esoteric, get a load of this guy. Means we’ll, but just isn’t ready for it. Nothing wrong with that.

For much the same reason Holla Forums doesn’t spoonfeed you, esoterism simply cannot be spoonfed. You get it or you don’t. If you don’t get it, maybe you will one day.

That's what I thought as an atheist materialist as well, until I realized I'm the fractal product of cosmos, and I should be happy or at least at peace by resonance alone if I had come to the correct, ultimate truth. Instead I was an emotional wreck. After all, who wouldn't be if they thought like pic related?

I don't understand any of those. They all seem like made up bullshit to me. There's some basic axioms at work that I just don't understand, I guess.
Thanks, I will look into him.
They aren't traditions to me. They seem utterly foreign.
Well that's just good advice in general.

The tenets of Christianity make no sense to me, so I never developed any sense of the spiritual at all.

Get heathy af and you'll notice mystical shit just starts happening. Rather, with no poison in your well you'll begin to observe properly. About 6 months after getting off fluoride I spontaneously started painting and liking classical music like an autist with a head injury. 2nd one is greeting card sized I did for my sister for Christmas. Spoilered for nofapers but is tasteful post impressionist.

The other problem is that they're usually reading translations, and translators are nearly always less intelligent than the authors they're translating. This especially applies to fringe figures like Evola.

Thanks for this. Added to my favorites.

I alwayes like classical music and art.


I do think like pic related. It's bad, but I see no alternative.


I have enough Italian to get through Evola with some work. I read La Dottrina del Facisomo in the original.

Where should I start with Eliade?

Kek what did she say? Couldn't you draw something a bit less awkward?

Sometimes this keeps me up at night.

The user in your pic needs to reach Nietzsche.

"Owo whats this"

You have to clean out your diet before you "get it" too.


True story: I had my first kundalini rising while watching the weedman on 60 Minutes a year and a half ago.

You will be if you put it out.

PEACE AND LOVE

Checking those trips+dubs ID m8.

I agree. And I'd further argue that Nietzsche is probably the best place to start for most people. Anyone who hasn't read Beyond Good and Evil should start there and work their way through his other works before attempting less accessible thinkers like Evola. This stuff isn't like reading a technical manual and it requires a mode of thinking that most have never experienced, especially given the state of modern education.

As a "soulless materialist atheist myself, I sometimes wonder why I'm a hard-right racial nationalist and not some nihilistic leftist. All I know is that I'm a minority.

I've come to the conclusion that it's probably genetic. We're genetic anomalies, most people need religion to prevent them from turning into pathetic nihilist materialist leftists. Something about their brains is just different.

No goy you need to go to church and worship a dead jew on a stick.

This is a nice thread. Please don't shit it up. The matter you're referring to will never be resolved on Holla Forums because both sides are firmly entrenched and will never give an inch.

I know that you're only trying to disrupt the thread but anyone who's read authors like Evola understand that what's being discussed here transcends that debate. Nobody here was discussing theology until you brought it up.

Even Evola said it's basically impossible now and pointless to try

I can't help but feel this bizarre sense of connection to Julius Evola. Maybe it's partially due to the fact that we're both Italian.
But it's our paths that draw similarities. Evola wrote extensively on sexual energy, eastern philosophy, then later arrived at traditionalism. I was shocked when I found out how much in common I have with him.
If I recall correctly, he regarded pornography as comparable to fast food, which is precisely how I feel to my core, leading to me quitting it. Incidentally, I seem to even look like a younger version of him. Given the amount of similarities, I need to do him a service and take in some of his works. There's something about you and me Evola, we're far too much alike.

What a Genius he was. I don't even have words to describe him.

Julius Evola simply the Genius!

What a bizarre question.
Maybe try not being a soulless, materialist athiest?
Why do you even care about the transcendent?

Wtf are you really serious about what you say?
Someone really dare to say Evola just a heap of nonsense. You are really a lost soul.

There is nothing wrong with being a soulless materialist atheist per say. The problem is that the average person can not stand that state without going mad.

Would madness not be a reason that it's wrong? Given that the average person's perceived quality of life is dependent on remaining stable in order to remain active within civilization, I'd very much consider there to be something wrong were that to be disrupted.

You just hit to the knowledge or you just miss it. I'm sorry, try reincarnation.

Feels like b8 to me. Do you believe there is such a thing as the Truth, with a capital T? What about Good and Evil? How would a materialist worldview differentiate between them? What is your basis for believing - assuming you do - that your convictions are right and your opponents' are wrong? If you have built your ideological foundations on sheer animosity for your enemies and nothing else then that is shaky ground indeed, user. Since you claim to be a materialist, i can't understand how you wouldn't also be a moral relativist by that same token.

Now I'm curious.
Those opposed to materialism, what's your case against it? Those for materialism, what's your case for it?

I explained my objections somewhat in the post about yours; strict materialist thinking provides no foundation for moral absolutism since it posits that all human behavior is a product of synapses. This sterile and mechanistic worldview explains all reality as a succession of causes and effects; it's a totally incomplete pseudo-philosophy with no interest or understanding of Destiny, Ideals or anything that can't measured or dissected. Materialists, without necessarily being conscious of it, buy into the false notion of "Progress" by brushing off centuries of knowledge as mere supersition, assuming that the worldview that they hold is more rational and evolved.

Interesting. So you consider these materialists, more or less, to be overly self-important due to their quick dismissal of the understanding held by people of the past? I'm inclined to agree with you here. To me it seems like a slippery slope into egotism.
That is to say, "I'm right, they were wrong. We're more evolved because we live in an advanced age."

That's a fair point to make. Perhaps what one gravitates to depends on genetic predisposition. Genetically weak individuals latch onto leftism because it tells them that weakness is an attribute, whereas genetically virile individuals gravitate towards right-wing ideologies, since they espouse strength, self-improvement, and hierarchy.

There have always been a few people who were disconnected from the religious sense of their communities, but they were far from the norm. Most people need a sense of transcendence to prevent the onset of nihilism, but today we just fill the vast spiritual void that was once filled by religion with porn, sportsball, and trashworld entertainment. For the materialists who realize they're lacking something…. it's a really shitty situation. On one hand we can analyze religion in a way that few in history have ever had the chance to, but we can never really experience it in the way those people did. I believe spengler or someone talked about this in greater detail.


Spiritual thought isn't really something that can be rationally explained like some scientific process. It's akin to trying to explain color to a blind person. Nonetheless it's an extremely important part of the human psyche in literally every civilization up until now, and I think the results of lack of it speaks for themselves.

I think that's about the gist of it.

DMT is already in your brain tenderfoot

SAGE

Evola was a perennial new age mystic quack obsessed with Indian spirituality and should never be taken seriously

The basis for his worldview is litterally new age religious philiosophy. He's a perenial meaning he believes all religions have the same god and only reflect the same core truth even when these religions contradict each other our outright state he is wrong.

Secondly he believed in linear history much like the left not in history as a cycle of the rise and fall of high cultures as typically held by racists and friends. He believed in some sort of bizarre new age Atlantis type civilization that was a precursor to us ruled by a caste of essentially monks. This sort of worldview means he views everything in the future as degrading and bad where as progressives view it as good.

Traditionalists like to think that the idea has gone over everyone's heads because before they even began the journey of self discovery they had convinced themselves they were a spiritual aristocracy above the pleb. Evola was a new age idiot who died childless and alone because the whole of his philosophical and spiritual process proved to be nothing more then mastabatory.

I don't.


I don't believe I am right. I can only aim for correct, or aligned with facts and reality.

I suppose I am a moral relativist, since I see no argument against it, but I know that outlook leads to bad outcomes.

Evola fags come back and debate me! Debate me now he is complete bullshit and you are following an idiot to ruin

Pick one

The basis for Evola spirituality and philosophy comes from a multitude of New age spiritual beliefs, the closet thing you will find to the supposed "traditionalist" in worldview is in hippie communes in california. His view of god and the universe is that of a perennial which believes all religions are the same god and expressing one primordial truth, to be a traditionalist you have to believe mohomo'd the pedo goatfucker the child fucker was really a prophet and not some weirdo. Secondly he tries to super impose a shithole of foreign spiritual ideals from Hinduism foreign to the west as inherently western.

Hell almost all of his socialist views of root races are plagiarized from Madame Blavatsky who was one of the founders of the new age movement

*Racialist not socialist god damn phone

...

These are contradictory claims, both cannot be true. Filtered for blatantly dishonest shilling.

The spiritual ages still adhears to a linear view of history and an ideological inability to see the future as anything but degrading. He is a reverse progressive. The diffrences between east and west to julies evola are only a different expression of a singular truth not of truths themselves. In this way him and the rest of the perennials have an inability to ever take any religion seriously because they attempt to rob them of useful knowledge and the infantileize them by declaring they know more then them. Also my complaint wasn't that he doesn't differentiate between east and west but that he takes a number of concepts foreign to the west and attempts to present them as inherently western like for instance he attempts to turn western polytheism into Hinduism and is constantly looking to make their multitude of God's into a singular god like Indians. This concept was never popular in the west, we had genuine paganism where we entertained the idea of a multitude of entities existing seperate from each other and the universe simultaneously.

How are they contradictory? Ignoring me won't make evola less of a walker. Progressives believe we are moving towards heaven on earth evola believes we are moving away from heaven on earth. That's linear ya gob

Then I ask you one thing, since you lob all of these claims at Evola. Find the source of your claims in his texts. Have fun.

Hinduism and ancient european religions had same root.

This is such a fucking copout because you either don't know the source material or know there is some measure of truth in what I say and you are afraid of being wrong. Fight me in an honest debate you new age mystic faggots!

No. They did not. No serious academic has ever belived this new age bullshit. This again comes from evola LARPing as an Indian and trying to merge east and west at a spiritual level. The way the west and east view the concept of god self at a spiritual level and the meaning of life are vastly diffrent even in ancient times.

Nice appeal to academia.

...

all machines can be programmed and the ones in which we reside can be reprogrammed through thought. nihilism is a conscious choice.

Evola gassed atleast SIX TRILLION spritual races, leaving only three. What do you mean you didn't know that? It's true and you don't know the source material. The proof's in the books you didn't read!

Nietzsche's recipe to "overcoming" nihilism is a philosophical "just be urself man". It's a sort of suspension of disbelief, it's akin to saying "don't think, feel", it's bullshit and it doesn't work, or maybe it does work and the normie is its product.

What works for sure is bringing in line thoughts and feelings. What works is recognizing the two as two sides of the same coin, with every thought being associated with a feeling that gives it value and every feeling having a thought behind.
Where am I going with this? I mean that a worldview as dreadful as cannot be right or you'd be making the same assumption commies make: "nature is shit because it's wrong, and I can see that it is because I am judging from outside of nature"

There's no escape, really. Either you hold that worldview and you're miserable and eventually you turn into a monster, or you recognize there's more than science can tell us and consciousness is not a product of the brain but a basic property of the cosmos.

Take that d&c kikes

correct but not in the way you intended

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Last_man

Nice one OP.

And people wonder why we call that other place cuckchan. Here I get the lost interview of Evola, there they praise akkad: archive.li/MxQ5n

Why are you here?
You obviously think that certain things 'matter', and that is a deeper truth than the apparent 'reality' of materialism, since it is intrinsic to your being.
'Matter' is reality.
Things that 'matter' are what give your life meaning.
'Materialism' is a crude perversion of matter.
It is, in fact, very Jewish.
I saw the problems with Capitalist materialism, but I thought that Communist materialism was the answer.
It wasn't until I realised the spiritual nature of our struggle with the Jewish enemy, that I understood 'Capitalism and Communism' are two sides of the same shekel. This was merely my path.
None of knows the future, but you can change it, comrade.
The door stands in front of you.
Have courage-open it in and go on through! You never know what wonders might await you!

This.

Genetics and the physiacal, material world is a necessary substrate, but it is not the whole picture.
The transcendent, and its pursuit, is a higher reality, and the grand purpose that really makes you 'alive' in the fullest sense.
Evola explains this much more eloquently, and in much more detail.

Vid related; ignore the presentation, but it's Evola's arguments against those of a Jewish leftist materialist.

Regard nigger detected.

That's the new agers' claims. Those crystal tuning hippies co-opted Evola in the same way they co-opted Jung. Both of your claims are directly contradicted in Revolt Against the Modern World (and further expounded on in Men Amonst the Ruins and Ride the Tiger). I have a creeping suspicion you're just regurgitating something you read on some cryptokabbalist's blog.

They were the same once, that's easy enough to see even with the profane comparative mythology. Asuras of Sanatana Dharma being a cognate of the Aesir of Nordic tradition, the whole deal of sacred twins, literally same proto-language, the idea of cyclical history, the whole sky father or storm god being supreme god of all. It's very, very easy to see.

Evolas philiosophy came from the proto new age movement and grew with it side by side.

Yes I'm sorry I like to base my opinions on reality and not pseudo science bullshit about Atlantian civilization.


It really isn't, the only thing we know about the religion of the ancient Norse comes from the eddas which were written by a Christian priest.
The things we do know about the well recorded Greek and Roman paganism contradicts evola philiosopy.

Because they are the same. All Indo-European polytheism come from the same root.

Or like Plato or Aristotle?

Yes they did.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proto-Indo-European_religion

Except they're worlds apart. New Age spiritualists come from the same mass produced materialist slave morality stock as the nihilistic atheists. They approach works like Evola's with an eye for finding justifications for their lack of actual beliefs. Hence all the materialistic reliance on mass produced, fetishistic trinkets and their focus on kabbalistic concepts like the "oneness of humanity" and other such drivel.

Plato and Aristotle never postulated that. They had a concept of a eather that all things come from but were not intrinsically apart of. This doesn't fit into the hothead concept Evola is. Trying to force into western thought. the concept of personal soul and god was never fully collectivized in the west unlike in the east. It was possible in a western mindset to believe on a personal level that multiple souls could exist in one universe simultaneously as seperate entities from each other and the univetse. This thought allowed us to believe in the existence of a multitude of gods existing seperate from one another at once. We have always put great emphisis on the personal nature of the soul. Also no we are not Indians even before the indo Aryan invasion of Europe there were inhabitants of this continent. There are several languages in Europe of none indo Aryan origin. And the picts of England were believed to be descended from people's who had lived there since the last ice age.

The traditionalist are perennials lad, they believe in oneness at a spiritual level and that all religions are one religion expressing a greater truth. Its important to note Rene Gueon converted to Religion of Cuck™ so the traditionalists cant be all that drawn to a personalized religion for westerners. traditionalism has little interest in western tradition because it constantly looks for spirituality in external sources.

Plato has "Form of the Good" above all other forms, which is essentially analogous to the absolute God. Aristotle has "first mover."

Nobody ever claimed this. Hindu paganism and European forms of paganism have the same root in proto indo-European paganism.

The thing about that is what you and evola know about the proto indo European religion is reconstructed and largely borrowed from eastern traditions.we barely know about pagan religions that died out 1000 years ago let alone religions that existed 3000 years ago.

Also sorry to make two posts. But the concept of an unmoved mover is still incomparable with the way the west views the world. In the east you are the universe experiencing itself, the gods are the universe expressing itself and we are all within the universe. In the west we are souls unique and individual seperate from the universe experiencing the universe and our gods are forces acting on the universe seperate from the universe.

what happened to that British guy named Adam who used to vlog about Evola or something

Evola wasn't a Perennial. The perennials actually went out of their way to disavow him.

So much this, or as I usually say, you'd have to have read Evola to understand Evola.

The fastest introduction I found is the Handbook of Traditional Living by the Raido group. Most of it is pretty much copy pasted from Evola, but at least, it contains the essence of it, in a digestible version, which helped some people I know get into Evola more easily. It all took them several readings of it, and some profound thinking, but it made reading Evola much easier.

I might add that they did so specifically because he eschewed their idea of spiritual oneness in favor of hierarchy and action.

youtube.com/watch?v=YGGejwE2XMM
is pretty good video, shows how some similarities between most indo-europeans spiritually can be seen.

Pic related from some mongol who has now read every work of evola and moved to serrano

Relativism is the most Jewish bullshit possible. In Religion of Cuck™, it's considered moral to murder homos, but in the rest of the world it's not. But I'm sure both points of view are equally correct and valid.

Actually, there's no correct, since you've lost the distinction between right and wrong. There's only 'valid' now because creepy Hebrew newspeak has gotten rid of right and wrong. Valid means approved of by society, which is how Europe manages to have both gay pride parades and Sharia law courts. Remember, no right, no wrong, just valid. Things are only ok when they're validated by society or your peers and not on their own merits.

This is the key!!!

Evola was indeed a perennial he just incorporated it with his ideals of hierarchy and root races.

...

Even acknowledging that race has any influence upon transcendental ideals disqualifies him from being a perennial. Oneness of spirit in spite of material things like genes is a cornerstone of their philosophy. I'm not saying that he doesn't have anything in common with them, obviously they're coming from similar places. Just that there is a world of difference between what Evola's arguing and the rebranded slave morality that the perennials push.

Yep, where should we start, kind anons?

I really disagree with the suggested reading order for anyone who isn't completely sure that he wants to read all of Evolas work, since it's frontloading all the stuff you that actually drives people away from Evola.
No matter the actual reading order, you have to reread most of the books anyway, because they reference each other in more ways than a normal person can remember.

I always see Ride the Tiger suggested to be readlast, yet it is the most appoachable book and full of moments where you see the modern world correctly reflected and explained, yet he uses concepts which are somewhat foreign and explained in his other books, which entices you to actually read them.

Whenever any of my friends have reached the necessary redpill level to be introduced to Evola, I always give them a copy of Ride the Tiger and they always thank me for introducing them to an interesting new worldview. Had I handed them Hermetic Tradition or Mysteries of the Grail, I doubt they would have gotten further than a few chapters.

It's a common mistake Holla Forums makes when suggesting readable material, to frontload the boring and abstract base works and withholding the interesting ones.
You can always read an interesting book without fully understanding it, read the base works after you built up an interest and then reread the more interesting material for a more refined perspective on it, it's better than getting bored with the base work and never actually reading the good stuff.

He decided to get on with his own life.

Now you put in my mouth words I didnt say. How low you can go with your non arguments?

I get why you say that, the route you're taking is basically what I'm doing with Plato, but he is most absolutely right in that he needs to be read in full. I myself found plenty of contradictions with my own notes of Hermetic Tradition while reading Mystery of the Grail. Also for those who prefer to study the more religious parts and prefer to argue against how Christians are Jews or Religion of Cuck™ is what it is, those first ten books are absolutely needed, include Introduction to Magic. I read a Pagan work called Summoning the Gods, it would be impossible to read without me reading previously Hermetic Tradition and Mystery of the Grail.

However it all just dispenses down to what you prefer for the pragmatic today, supra political reasons or more spiritual reasons. I would at the very least recommend Hermetic Tradition and from what I've read of Metaphysics of War, that as well.

...

My approach is about the journey.
Sure, i highly recommend reading things like Hermetic Tradition, it's a great base work although I do not consider it a good introduction to the whole complex.

Most people who get into Evola nowadays do it out of political interest, with litte spiritual interest, if any. The later books do a great job to generate interest in spirituality, even if you are more of a materialist.

Reading Ride the Tiger generates a lot of interest in Tradition and Spirituality, even for people who were inclined otherwise, which is quite important to have for the more cumbersome works like Hermetic Tradition or even Revolt Against the modern World.

I get the suggested reading orders, the books tell you a lot more when read in that order. But if you see it from the perspective of someone who is unfamiliar with Evola, there is no proper anchorpoint to start.
As Evola himself stated, we have strayed very far from the Tradtional path, so we need to find a way back to start our proper journey. That way back I believe starts with his works that concern the modern world and lead to Tradition again, which then leads to Spirituality. Only after you rediscovered Spirituality, you can walk the path Evola laid out in proper order to understand the bigger picture.
But you can't start at the beginning of the path when you aren't anywhere near it in the first place.

If the tenets of Christianity makes no sense to you, I would suggest that you listen and read the works of people who argue for Christianity with reason, people such as Peter Hitchens and Jordan Peterson.


Yes. To climb over this obstacle, besides learning the actual language of the author, one must simply read as much as one possibly can on the authors subjects from different peoples and angles. The added perspectives might help you to understand the authors (in this case Evola's) perspective, but also help you formulate your own distinct understanding of the subject.

The starting point should be The Sacred and the Profane, as it is a short introduction to Eliade's concept of religion.
Then there is Patterns in Comparative Religion, which gives you his understanding of symbolism and myth.
After that you can delve into The Myth of the Eternal Return, a tough read about his view on time and history.


Well, Evola comes from a minor Sicilian aristocratic family. Once I have enough knowledge on the subjects covered in Evola's works, I'll jump back into his works to find out for myself if his work is of any substance. Untill then I can't express myself on the validity of his works.


Yes, but it's an introduction specifically towards Evola. Get the broadest possible knowledge on the subjects or else you might at best get a short sighted understanding of his views, or at worst, completely misinterpreting it.

Thank you, user.

More news at eleven.

(check)
Observe in yourself your reactions to watered-down tidbits of much older lore. That can be computer games (e.g. Warcraft) or certain kinds of metal (e.g. Summoning). Things that aren't high- or even middle brow, but that stir the soul, that make you dream. This is a sure sign that SOMETHING is there, some real root. That's the golden thread you have to follow.

I've been watching Peterson lectures, and while he's interesting, I don't see him making a case for religion. Just that biblical stories represent archetypes.

I read The Rage Against God today. While I appreciate his points about the dying out of a culture, and the replacement of beauty with ugliness, he gives me no reason to accept the existence of the supernatural.

Evola clearly states there's nothing to be done to the "Deep State" and their horrendous rule.

Except "Ride the tiger".

Surviving the fallout of modernity when its mass produced slavefolk start eating each other is hardly doing nothing. If anything it falls to us to disrupt their plans before they can bring them to fruition as its becoming increasingly clear that they're pushing for one final mass sacrifice of every last human worthy of being called such. All this synchronicity with concepts like Kek and Moloch revealing themselves is not a coincidence. Hammering out order from chaos and evil self serving "sacrifice" are concepts older than humanity itself. There is a reason that even in the earliest stories of Christianity, humanity is immediately divided into two camps along similar lines like with the story of Cain and Abel.

(11:24) Two sorts of paths:
Ascetic: denial of self, detachment from world, from both the terrestial and heavenly. "dry" and virile detachment. Accomplish olympic realm of being through detachment.
Hermetic: Western spirit, operative character and of immanent realization. Aiming for 'ultimate realization' founded on royal symbols. The crown, the king, the emperor. No longer white color of contemplation but red color of fire. Hermetism.

15:10 (revolt against the modern world second part; philosophical perspective of history; utilizes common thread of the four 'ages' or 'yugas' in Aryan tradition)
16:36 - 17:09 (bolshevism and capitalism are diff sides of same coin, strangling traditional Europe)
17:17 - 18:24 (rightwing vs. marcuse's leftwing; "anyone who reads the noncontroversial book of 'revolt against the modern world' which presents things as they are and has spiritual sensitivity will, after reading, say 'no' to the modern world". Modern left protestors, critiquers, etc. as followers of Marcuse. Marcuse's sociology is 'coarsest' Freudianism)


19:11 - 25:20 (difference between guenon and evola. Guenon says tradition will be restored through and was present in Catholic churchdom. Evola disagrees, saying leftism is too prevalent in the church today. Evola focuses instead on ghibelline imperial tradition such as the 'haufenstaufen' as a distinct and just as valid tradition. Ghibelline tradition is based on stories such as the holy grail and chivalry.)

That looks like absolute shit. You won't improve if you look at that "tasteful post impressionist" crap and think it passes for art outside of a jewish museum.

Just take the most amazing piece of art you can find and tell yourself "this is good", then take a regular, good but not quite one and try to explain why the better one is best. You have to draw like the better one, not good, but better. Always better. This is true of any discipline, it starts with telling the shit from the gold.

...

OP is based evolian-guenonian traditionalist tranny. I'm surprised no one bothered to find out yet.
Hence the namefagging.

You're fucking retarded

Easy lad, the post impressionist and impressionist works are very easy and quick to make passable reproductions of as gifts for people. That was just the only one I had both the original and mine on my phone.

Pic 1 was the first drawing I did after years of suppressing my right hemisphere since high school art basics. If you want I could do le German Shepard in Grass for you? I was going to try these next actually after seeing the stabbing thread. I'm not trying to be an artist anyhow, I've got too many practical disciplines that need honing, in addition to starting a family, fixing up a house, and of course the ineffable disciplines.

How the fuck do you come this far without knowing ancient India was the highest bastion of White spiritual/metaphysical thought? You must just be really fucking dumb.

Art student here, I have always harbored a slight distaste for Schiele, but his work is based on solid anatomic foundations, I can't really explain it, at least not shortly, but anyone that has a solid grasp of the fundamentals could easily recognize an "abstract" artist who has technical skill from a hack just by looking at the work. Also Shiele didn't apply at the Academy with those works, those were during/after he enrolled. He certainly submitted the usual anatomical work as his peers.

holy shit that's really him.
