A Retrospective
Part 2



Unusually - at least so far, this Summer - the sun is hotly beating down, the dull clouds of morning having dispersed. So it is that sit here, on the grass, resting my back against one of many rocky outcrops of this Fell, feeling the glorious warmth of the sun on my face.

Since I last wrote to you I have at last managed to form my thoughts once again into a coherent whole regarding the many difficult questions that remain, some of which questions I briefly mentioned toward the end of that letter.

Concerning those questions my conclusions are - conclusions which I both feel, in my being and know through reason, experience and understanding - that the most important thing is honour, and that this must be made real, practical,  through a new Way of the Warrior. This means individuals understanding and accepting this Way, and striving to live their lives by it. By such a striving, they will become noble examples for others, and so bring about change. It also means a striving to create a new type of society, based upon the law of personal honour and dedicated to the ideals of Folk Culture.
 

I believe my articles Cosmic Ethics in Context,  An Introduction to Warrior Culture, and The Way of the Warrior express what needs to be expressed about the essence of this new Warrior Way, just as my writings about Folk Culture and Cosmic Ethics express the new world-view which I have striven to develope these past few years, a world-view I regard as important and indeed essential to our survival and development, both as a folk, and as a species, and which forms the basis for this new Warrior Way. In respect of our own Aryan folk, my The Complete Guide to the Aryan Way of Life expresses what is necessary.

Furthermore, these articles and essays - about the Warrior Way, Folk Culture and Cosmic Ethics - do indeed represent what I myself uphold and believe in: the result of thirty-five years of striving, questing, thinking, and "boldly (sometimes, oddly!) striving to go" where, it seems, few have gone before... And there is now an inner peace because of the goal reached: because of having achieved, in and through such writings, a manifestation of what I have learnt, discovered, come to know and understand. Well, that's my excuse, anyway.
 

Any last words? Only the obvious ones, based upon the Cosmic Ethic, which are for us to always be honourable and to strive to treat all life - human, animal and otherwise - as we would wish to be treated ourselves, always remembering the Cosmic Perspective, which is that there probably is other intelligent life, out there in the Cosmos, some of whom are probably more technologically advanced than we are. Would we wish to be exploited by aliens? Would we wish to be enslaved by aliens? Would we wish to be treated as "lower forms of life" by aliens, and experimented on and bred for food?  For this is how, up until now, we have treated fellow human beings and the life with which we share this planet which is presently our home. We really must learn to grow up and start thinking as, behaving as, rational, honourable human beings. Our future is indeed "out there", in the Cosmos, but we must go there as adults - as mature, honourable, human beings - and not as the spoilt, squabbling, petulant, immoral, dishonourable children we have been for thousands of years.
 

As for myself, I have no intention of writing any more essays, articles or even letters, as I shall not give nor make any public statements whatsoever. If someone desires to learn something, from me - or desires some clarification about something to do with this Warrior Way or Folk Culture - they can find and approach me personally. I may even be able to help...
 
 


It is so simple to live as we can live
Settled and focused on only what we see,
On only where we can walk on one day's
Walking...

So he sighed - well over half sad -
Because he knew now
As the calling buzzard, the grass, the trees,
The very earth around him knew
The living silent knowledge
That grew as grass grows green
In sun
