How do I become more like Evolas 'differentiated man'?

He gives a lot of lofty value- and virture-based theory in Ride the Tiger, but little to no practical advice.

So how do I become such a man? Draft into the Ukrainian army? Go full anprim and move to the forest? Any ideas?

intensity basically.
get autistic on a subject and feel intense.
do this multiple times.

There's no one on this board that could tell you that unless they were thinking outside or along side Evola. Evola and all his works contain his ideas on how to do that in the best way he thinks is possible.

regardless of wether of one's opinions on ukraine, joining their army is one sure way of being able to fight in an actual conflict, also without having to kill innocent muslims. it's a good idea when you consider the value of the action in itself, as fighting for the fight's sake

Iran has been an unsalvageable and regressive shithole since the Qajars. Saudi Arabia is more stable than Iran, even after causing a genocide in Yemen, and that's saying a lot. Iranians behave like Jews minus the nepotism, so as a consequence, they are not as destructive.
I'm not going to risk my head for a country that has no future, whose ethos is just a shadow of its past, and whose people are either a bunch of stupid Islamists or liberal cucks. Also, fuck Isfahan. If Israel nukes Isfahan, I'll praise them to high heaven.

The difference between Gods and Heroes is the man who is born a God is always a God, a man born a mere man only becomes a hero by being a God. Be a God. Rites are performed so you can control and be the God, or to know him. Maybe you will be like Herakles, maybe you will be like Jason

He actually lived fine every time he walked through the artillery shells. He's crippled cause his bunker he was in got busted. Source is from the first translator of Mask and Face of Contemporary Spirituality
Of course, accoring to Introduction to Magic and The Hermetic Tradition, the world itself is magical, and those bombs may be either a biproduct or the direct affect of an enemy, which is what Guenon reminded Evola of in postwar correspondence

One who integrally explores diversity is the most equipped to implore university; one who rootlessly —id est: Godlessly— does so is estranged from oneself.

Personification transcurs through transvertive reconciliation of one's multiple aspects, as one develops one's singular personality via convertive recreation/reinvention.

The integral transvertibility of an object (persona) is directly proportional to the universal coherence of its subject (person/personality) —id est: prerequisite for the coherence of what is alterable in appearence (of person/personality) is the integral crepuscle of what is transvertible in form (of persona).
