When you finish a very good book, perhaps like The Little Sister by Raymond Chandler, you find yourself settled down into a weird type of quasi-death where the book is read and you cannot change that, but your awareness is left in the world it described.

That mirrors the type of displacement we feel in life most of the time. We are aware of the basic teleology of life, namely that the “meaning” of life is to live, but this is too nihilistic and we wonder what else must be there.

It feels like — on summer evenings when the breeze finally cools and the scents of the nighttime flowers rise — that there must be something more going on here, a framework within a framework, and yet we find ourselves trying to grasp a slippery fish with numb fingers.

The mental image appears, but it does not stay.

The adualistic or scientific approach says that whatever we are looking for is a property of the universe itself and parallel to what we see in physical reality, which is why in pagan myths you could sail a ship to the land of the dead or climb a mountain to see the gods.

The humanistic or emotional approach tells us that there must be some grand plan that intervenes in our lives and has an agenda disconnected from the workings of the world, since we fear those in the contrarian way we fear authority and nature, including Darwinism.

What if they meet in the middle?

The Christians tell us that there is one fundamental sin, despair, which is an insult to God because His world is designed perfectly and we must have amor fati for our destiny, because we are small implements of a larger Design.

On the other hand, the Luciferians remind us that we can make “a heaven of hell, and a hell of heaven,” or in other words that conventional morality is inverted. The natural — including Darwinism — is good, and the “good” is just humanism making us weak and neurotic.

How do we combine “despair is an insult to [the divine]” with “a heaven of hell”? If the order of the divine is complete, then whatever hells we encounter are there to forge us like steel in a fire then hammered under the care of the swordsmith.

That is the point of the Sinister Way, adualism, and even the enlightened Christians like Blake and Tolkien: to have good, you must be evil, and trying to have good by being good results in cowardice and a retreat from life (despair, an insult to God and your Self).

When metalheads burn churches, they are saying that Christianity fled from what actual religions must do. We want more religion, but not of an Abrahamic foreign origin, because our nature religion produces good through evil, just like nature does.

The same is true of our minds. The rage for order, the quest for answers, the need to figure out what life is and it exists for our little slice of the world — the Great Work — consumes us and creates conflict, but from conflict comes choice and through that, order.

In turn this leads us to heresy. What most people want is to “have good by being good” which confuses cause and effect. The effect of good occurs only because we are evil and remove the weak ideas, people, groups, and organizations, replacing them with better ones.

Nothing is new under the sun. “Change” is an illusion. Evolution is not change, but refinement that requires alterations be continuous with the founding, sort of like how relativity defines objects by their difference from others, but also by their niche in the whole of all things.

Today is a good day for heresy. Race, ethnicity, and culture are one and the same, and they are the one thing protecting us from government, peer pressure, and markets. Hierarchy forms Darwinistic refinement of people and ideas. Be hard on your soul, to make it emerge.
