"Do I then belong to the heavens? Why, if not so, should the heavens Fix me thus with their blue stare, Luring me, my mind, on higher Ever higher, up into the sky, Drawing me ceaselessly up To heights so far above the human? Nothing is, that can satify me." ~ Y. Mishima, Icarus

"Our enemies offer us a false peace: the peace of hollow compassion, enforced at gunpoint. But God hates peace between those who are destined for war. Just as we are all destined for war, with that which is rotten and base in ourselves." ~ Archb. Fulton J. Sheen, The Choice

"The subtle state of the psychic realm is, in short, only a transient state. It is that of the being who is already prepared to receive the Light, yes, but who does not as yet perceive it, who is not yet aware of the one necessary and immutable Truth." ~ René Guénon, Miscellanea

"Now, suppose you removed the nave uniting the spokes. What would become of the wheel?" Mumon's comment: "When the hubless wheel turns, Master or no master can stop it. It turns above heaven, and below earth, North, south, east, and west."

They don't tell you this, but God has much better things to do than annihilate darkness.
For Henry Corbin, the failure to attain theophany signifies subjugation to real powers of darkness. In this respect, Corbin departs radically from Carl Jung: darkness, the shadow, is not something to be integrated, but rather an enemy to be annihilated by the power of Light.

Good LOTR-themed blog, for those interested, from an old friend: "I'm not sure when Academe officially turned to worshiping Sauron, but it's already happened. We're invited to 'explore', 'discover' ourselves. It's all horizontal; money, data, prestige." https://t.co/bTjXzPLEkL

How can a professed "Nietzschean" claim to hate, if he doesn't even love anything?

The problem with Nietzschean amoral "vitalism" is that it's an ethos for 40+ y/o apathetics: Genuine youth is religiously fanatic in its morality, in its burning sense of self-righteousness. To turn everything into a joke is a sign of a tired, deluded soul. Lonely, horny satyrs.

The trad churches are full of bitter nostalgists. The modern, full of liberal sentimentalists. Online 'pagan' movements are raw expressions of thirst, whether for hoes--or something sacred, something lost. All have need, none have real answers. For now anyways Pray a damn rosary

"If untold Buddha-lands Are reduced to atoms, In one atom are untold lands-- And as in one, so in each. The atoms are unspeakable, Going on for untold eons. Containing lands unspeakably many, the atoms in these lands Are even harder to tell of." ~ Buddhāvataṃsaka Sūtra
