Seems like theres a like drawn between achieving a state of non-duality through action and through ascetic contemplation. Though the warrior on his journey tends to an ascetic way and needs to contemplate to make the right decisions.
"Nah I'll just sit here instead" really is a cope lol.

lol, just wait until you find out that most evolafags here are simps for NPCddhism

>>17339567
Every single society which has maintained tradition has done so via a priestly elite. Who do you think has more supernatural experience cirica 2021, someone who joins the army after high school or someone who joins seminary? Obviously, the answer is seminary. Evola was wrong. The historic context of his opinion was the pre-WWI Italian army, which was filled with mysticism. But that's no longer the case.

>Just read a bit about Buddhism, aka the mother of all copes. Do you imagine the West EVER having a philosophy similar to that? "Just train your mind to cope harder bruh, like, nothing is real anyways"? Hard [X].

This is literally my opinion on Buddhism. I think it's why it's allowed as a religion in places like China. It's the only religion that doesn't threaten the powers that be because it preaches every problem in this world can be solved with higher and higher levels of copium.

>>17339614
I think evolafags must have stopped at chapter two of Ride the Tiger because Evola specifically declaims the spirituality and cultural traditions of the East and thinks they're just on a slower path of decline. He even points out that China's rapid growth may point to a rapid cultural decline sometime in the future (arguably already happened to some extent).

Regardless if he read or not, the conception that Buddhism is training your mind and doing nothing is so common that it's most likely just what it is. Overly simplified of course, but still true.

>>17339608
Do you really want to associate yourselves with trumptards?
Are the people in the video the average Evola reader?

>>17339600
If you remove all the supernatural baggage from buddhism, what remains is pure copium. I hate Christcuckery, but it looks like Sparta compared to this.

In fact, this is what the Westerners you hate so much do with Buddhism. They use it literally as an atheistic coping mechanism.

>>17339679
Stoics might be cucks, but they are not even close. I mean, just look at this shit:

This same tactic had been used nearly a millennium earlier, when the great eleventh-century Tibetan yogini Machig Labdrön was receiving initiation from her teacher, Sonam Lama, with several of her spiritual sisters. At a key moment in the initiation, Machig magically rose up from where she was sitting until she was suspended in the air about a foot from the ground, and there she danced and spoke in Sanskrit. In a state of profound meditation she passed through the clay walls of the temple unimpeded and flew into a tree above a small pond outside the monastery.
The pond was the residence of a powerful naga, or water spirit. These capricious, mythic beings are believed to cause disruption and disease when disturbed, and can also act as treasure holders or protectors when they are propitiated. This particular naga was so terrifying that the local people did not even dare to look at the pond, never mind approach it. But Machig landed in the tree above the pond and stayed there in a state of meditation.
The water spirit considered young Machig’s arrival to be a direct confrontation. He approached her threateningly, but she remained in meditation, unafraid. This infuriated him, so he gathered a huge army of nagas from the region in an attempt to overwhelm her. When she saw this mass of terrifying magical apparitions coming, Machig instantly transformed her body into a food offering, and as her biography (found in my book Women of Wisdom) states: “They could not devour her because she was egoless.”
Not only did the aggression of the nagas evaporate, but they committed themselves to Machig, promising not to harm her or other beings, vowing to protect her, and pledging to serve her and anyone who followed her teachings. By meeting the demons and offering her body as food to them with unshakable compassion rather than fighting against them, Machig turned the demons into allies.

Not what he was saying. The sacred sovereign is superior to both castes, it's not that the warrior caste is unilaterally superior to the priestly caste.

Wrong. The Catholic Church was clearly the conquest of the warrior caste by celibate dress wearing bookworms from Rome, also known as brahmins. The Northern kshatriyas fought this new order throughout the middle ages though, with some wins but mostly losses until the Protestant Reformation finally smashed this world order and gave back control to the warrior nobility.

More like gave control to merchant queers. The misconception in your analysis is that you, for some reason, believe that the middle ages were dominated by the Catholic Church, whereas feudalism was precisely the peak of the aristocracy. You would be correctly only if the Papacy had successfully conquered Europe and united it under a theocracy. Instead, you got polities like the Holy Roman Empire and warrior monarchies like France etc.

isnt the odd thing that the preistly and warrior class were somewhat synthesised? like it wouldnt be too uncommon for a prince’s brother to be a cardinal and stuff like that.

Inane tradfag debates about whether or not to impose ACTION or CONTEMPLATION on the basis of curated historical narratives presuppose the primacy of a 'priestly caste' that pours over texts to determine orthodoxy.

>>17340032
It's not that odd, but it can get weird sometimes - some of the Norman aristocrats for example would become bishops but still serve as administrators and military leaders in their fiefs.
A more genuine "synthesis", if it can be called that, were orders like the Templars etc. who explicitly joined the transcendent to the immanent/martial.

>>17339999
Those "warrior monarchies" that you speak about were still under the control of the priestly caste though, and if they tried to encroach on the spheres of control that was traditionally considered under the Church then they would get a smack on the nose.

Although I will not argue this any longer since you got such powerful digits and I am frankly too terrified to continue this conversation. I shall leave and never open this thread again. I'll look for another similar thread in the future.

This is a contradiction. On one hand you say that those monarchies were controlled by the clergy and on the other hand you refer to spheres of control. Which is it? Does the priestly caste actually control the monarchies or does it fulfil its priestly role properly within its confines? If the priestly caste controls those monarchies, then how does it do that? How do you explain monarchies propping up their own papal candidates, clashes over influence and ultimately the protestant reformation etc if the Catholic church was actually in control of all that territory?

You could plant memories for your next life so your next reincarnation already remembers being Julius "Hot Wheels" Evola by the time he's sucking on his mom's tits. You could appear to people in dreams and say shit that can't be dismissed as a dream, or to people who have never even heard of you. You could influence some Jungian causality shit to spell out "magic is real" in synchronicities irrefutable by materialist science. Any one of these things would cause cause the true hermetic revolution by proving it's all real and there is a real prize to be had in unlocking the mysteries.

Because after you die you stop participating in the material realm and any interaction would necessarily have to occur at least one step up the metaphysical ladder, which makes receiving any "messages" automatically impossible for people who aren't already spiritually accomplished.
>Any one of these things would cause cause the true hermetic revolution by proving it's all real
Why should initiates "prove" anything? Are their pursuits subordinate in value to materiality and popular opinion? Obviously not.

Have you ever seen that figure of the serpent in a drugstore? Its idea is very useful to illustrate this. It means that a drug can also be a venom, and that anything served in a dose bigger than what is needed can be fatal.

True, but it had to be the Christians who would accelerate the motion of the world, it is foretold in the Scriptures. Christians, in their effort of understanding God(especially Western Christians), eventually thought of themselves as above God, instead. This has nothing to do with slavery, but yes, colonization by the West has deeply polluted the ideologies and psyches of everywhere else.

Case in point. Christianity is maybe the only religion in the world that actually puts man beneath god. Everywhere else it's natural to think of the gods or the god as a peer or as oneself, but not as something above oneself, even if in some religions this is reserved only for the few (such as Sufi mystics etc) rather than for everyone.

>>17340596

>>17339582

A real Evolafag would not take action at this juncture in time as Evola regards political action as currently futile, since the West is too far gone. For now, we must ride the tiger.

To some extent? China's ancient culture has already been devoured whole by Mammon and Moloch.

>Christianity is maybe the only religion in the world that actually puts man beneath god.
Christianity makes man into God. There is a very strong impetus in Christianity for devotional worship and humility, which leads people to giving A LOT of deference to Jesus while not giving much to themselves. This doesn't change Christianity's goal of turning men into man-gods. Hell, the practice of sainting in the church turns people into literal demigods.

>>17343206
Yes, Theosis is a valid path within Christian Tradition

>>17342052
Vajrayana is literally Esoteric Buddhism. Evola had some bad takes, like in the Yoga of Power where everything he said was wrong.

Evola was LARPing and so are you.

>>17343454
>>17343528
And anyway, to claim that Vajrayana is the "last surviving strain" of Traditional Buddhism is laughable. Putting aside the dubious practices of a lot of gurus, and the fact that no other branch of Buddhism has become so politicized, the notion that Vajrayana (be it in Tibet or Japan) somehow preserves the original teachings better than Theravada or even Zen is nonsensical.
People get wooed by Vajrayana's mysterious and symbolic aspect and think this alone somehow gives it credence. This is, by the way, the very attitude towards initiation that Evola warned against, and yet the poster I was originally replying to is claiming Vajrayana to be traditional in the evolian sense because it uses "initiatic symbols".

>>17339567

Il check it out, thanks anon

>>17344058
>the whole "divine energies, but no divine essence" thing is just there to make Theosis non-heretical
I think its also to make a distinction between the manifest divine principle (the energies) which is God as it can be within the cosmos, and the unmanifested divine principle (the essence) which is the Godhead in itself. Which means we will never join the truly transcendental nature of the Godhead, but can form a union with his manifestation.

>>17344163
>Which means we will never join the truly transcendental nature of the Godhead, but can form a union with his manifestation.
That's basically it, yeah, but it's not really true so I am sure there must have been at least one monk to have realised the transcendent connection too.

>>17344189
I think its a general trend among the western traditions, with perhaps the exception of kabbalah. For example, I think sufis generally agree that we dont form a union with the Godhead. However I am more than happy to be corrected by you or any other anon who is more knowledgeable

Workers, of course.

"Muh Evola was Action over Contemplation" meme is disproved by his own actions. He didn't fight on the war. He wrote a book, "Ride the Tiger", where the premise is to not act but to, well Ride the Tiger. If you don't understand the symbolism too bad, you're filtered. The point is to attack the "Tiger" when he is weak and out of breath. He lived as he learned. And he always discussed the notion of a synthesis of Warrior and Priest in one person, Priest-King, just like for example kings of old did perform sacrifices to the Gods... Another false meme dichotomy in other words. Many such cases. Sad!

Contemplation is the source of action so it refutes itself.

Can someone briefly explain to me what does "ride the tiger" mean?

>>17348340
literally just read the book

>>17348346
I would, but I am trying to gauge whether I should spend my time on his book or some other book.

>>17348340
It means "cope"

why is there no evola sodomizing a tigger meme yet

>The warrior caste is superior to the priestly caste
Didn't he say that they used to be one and the same?

>>17348697
Yes, it all starts with the Priest-King.

they really aren't in a practical sense. whenever the two castes are the same you have some tyrannical king conquering everything in sight, proclaiming "i am god". once any kind of military and hermeneutic standards are established they naturally separate

Most ignorant thread I've seen all day. If you wanna contemplate, just meditate on awareness all day. If you wanna commit to action, join a militant group. Either way, you guys don't get it. Truly esoteric material is so beyond this pedantic bickering its not even funny (ok, its very funny).
>>17339593
yes

There is an esoteric understanding of compassion and an exoteric one. I wonder if Evola saw the esoteric side of it.

ride the tiger is a cool way to frame being an incel with no job or school
