Around five thousand years ago, out of the jungles and mountains of the Indo-European regions came a culture that carried with them a metaphysical, transcendent truth that was spread throughout the world. This culture was composed out of priests, warriors, merchants, and plebs or commoners. Their myths and gods can be found in Hinduism, Greek and Roman mythologies, Celtic, Norse, Egyptian, and even Christian belief systems. This current was coined by Aldous Huxley as the Perennial Philosophy. This Perennial philosophy is what eventually gives form to Traditionalism, and the writings of Rene Guenon and Julius Evola, who were trying to preserve these teachings and prepare the so-called differentiated people to ride the tiger of modernity.
The people of Western Society are looking for an anchor for meaning in modern life. The way that the Evolian tradition explores this riding of the tiger is the ability to experience reality in a personally mystical and universal way, where the advantage of it is to avoid secularism and give independence to the spiritual life of the individual. Humans are hardwired for faith; Man needs emotional truths. Evola believed that, despite the technological advancements of modernity, the social systems devolve into a slave morality and collectivist decadence.
We should go beyond what exists in a matter that moves upwards. Via occult, mysticism, or any individualistic form of religiosity, everyone in a small group can be a priest. These practices have been demonized by the media to create an absence of dialectics between cultures and make us look downward without transcending this so called “progressive” evangelical, egalitarian like, simian civilization. Decline is morphic and spiritually combined. The races of man have a biological, spiritual, and moral dimension. In a post enlightment way, the secularization of Europe devolved into populist ideas on the left- and right-wing movements that affected the rest of the world in the last century.
Life and meaning are circular, and an endless whirlwind of destruction and becoming. There are always purposes and reasons. These tendencies of mass servitude are willed. The destruction of prior social cultures is willed. This hierarchy of aristocratic sensibilities, and soulful views should be explored by those who wish to ride this Kali Yuga and use the methodology of revolting against the failing historical currents of the modern age.
