>He isn't really an incel, just a spiritually a medieval knight who woke up in a post-modernist dystopia, making the best of his situation.

so what you are saying is that... he is literally us.

>It offers nothing, absolutely nothing, to the young man who is looking for meaning or a unified purpose.

Yeah but the zoomers are mildly retarded (a very generous judgement btw!), can't go by that standard forever. Well at least there's some exceptions ...

I do what I can, but it seems like most of our people are still bent upon embracing their collective demise. It amazes me how little anger there is in response to the now brazen campaign of anti-whiteness; I suppose the post WW2 mythology of racially motivated and/or illiberal Whites being villains is still too powerful.

I won't give up, but realistically we're going to lose hegemony over our lands. We and our children must become the resilient remnant of light—the torch bearers through dark times.

After reading this thread I can see that it's gone the same way it almost always does. Nobody can agree on a definition of "trad", of what qualifies as "ancestral religion", whether or not a certain religion has semitic or hellenic roots, whether or not a philosophy qualifies as a religion or not, etc. There is profound confusion to the point that productive discussion is almost impossible. Nobody knows what the hell we are even trying to talk about. There is clearly a problem (or likely multiple problems) to be solved here which most certainly does not or do not have a clear answer. I think the central problems are
>There is something missing in our lives. We can hardly name it, but we all commonly have an intellectual or spiritual sensation or experience of loss or incompleteness. How can this be identified? How can it be fixed?
>How do we have an authentic spiritual experience, practice, and life in the modern world?
Even the definition of the words like "spiritual" and "authentic" could be in dispute here. Although this thread has not fixed anything (and obviously no single 4chan thread is going to be a solution to such a profound problem), I believe it reveals a collective experience we all have and I encourage everyone reading to continue earnestly seeking to investigate and solve these problems and experiences. God bless us all.

Do you hold the fire? Do you grow it?
Inferno! Inferno of others are here! Spewing their thoughts and souls onto your screen! They are just like you! They are just like me! Knowledge and secrets! Hidden moments that you and those like you can only see! Yet it is empty, as you sit atop the mount like oracles without a nation to heed your calls of the future and the past. Some hear and they share but they are small and are squashed by giants and their huge angry eyes find you all. They send their ranks to climb and the snakes slither up the mountain and strike at thine ankles every time your tongue is loosed. The fire fades as the poison seeps. The forge from thine chests are now but small embers and the shadows gain ground. You call out from thine gaping maw but all is smoke yet the serpents still strike. All is dark and the mind full of agony calls for something that has been extinguished. But it is gone but the repeating fangs entering your flesh do not relent and with each pang of pain you begin to attack those who once were your brothers. Ravens come and study and peck at thine skulls. Poking and prodding, biting and squelching until only the wind blows and thine call out to it as if it brings knowledge or secrets. But thou are wrapped in snakes and eyes of the raven watch your thoughts and whispers. Atop that mount, stifled and dumb mistaking the beat of a raven's wings as wind and the strike of the viper as repercussion to finding a hidden truth.

What if you took the old traditions and remade them into a way that fits the psychology of the modern day?

On a related but different note (since i assume you're going to tell me my first point will result in anything but larping with nothing genuine or substantive) is there a way to create new genuine traditions that carry real spirituality with them?

Are there any good things to read that will genuinely help you develop confidence and not second guess everything you do

recc me some books on aesthetics

bonus for 20th and 21st century
