Is the reality of the present, and the foreseeable future, that the noble, the just, the honourable, will have to honourably fight against the many who are ignoble, unjust and dishonourable? This would seem to be so, given human history, for otherwise surely the ignoble, the unjust, the dishonourable, the cowards, will triumph.
Presently, true civilization - the civilization of honourable, rational,
freedom-loving individuals - is barely surviving in a world governed by
greed, injustice, oppression, selfishness, decadence, cowardice, dishonour,
insolence and unreason. A very real conflict exists between those who
represent civilization, those who understand if only instinctively, the
nexus, and who thus truely respect life, and those who represent disorder,
decline, and decadent selfishness. This conflict is between those who belong
to the numinous life-force of this world, and those who belong to the
sickness, the disease that has weakened this life-force: a disease which will
assuredly, one day, cause the life-force to die were those who belong to the
sickness, who are the sickness, to be triumphant.
Does this conflict have to involve suffering, destruction, hatred, violence and death? Or is it somehow possible that some of these things can be avoided? That is, is it possible to develope, and act in accordance with, a Way - based upon Cosmic Ethics - that will enable noble warriors to do their honourable duty to their folk and their ancestral culture in an honourable manner, devoid of all those primitive, ignoble, feelings and consequences that have blighted and marked our human history? It is certainly possible to do this. It means individuals fighting only as a last resort, and fighting in an honourable way. It means never being driven, or subsumed, by desires or passion, but instead having a noble, almost a numinous, detachment and perspective: an awareness as oneself as but one nexus, but one connection between the past and the future whose honourable deeds can create a better, more noble, future.
The archetype for this new, honourable, fighting Way is the warrior who
lives by a Code of Honour and who strives to develope, and maintain, within
themselves a numinous detachment, based as this detachment is on their
understanding of the nexus which is the essence of Folk Culture.
In the practical sense, it means an avoidance of such things an impersonal
modern war, just as it means an understanding of just how ignoble and
tyrannical, and un-numinous, all modern States are. It means an acceptance -
deriving from the wisdom of Folk Culture - that the ideal society is one
based upon the law of honour, with such a society being small in comparison
with all modern States.
Conclusion:
If what is good, noble, just, honourable, and rational is to survive and prosper - if the very life-force of our planet is to recover from the sickness that ails it, if our dream of evolving further by seeding ourselves across the Cosmos is to be made real - then there is no escaping our noble duty. This is to honourably fight, when and if necessary, against those who for whatever reason seek to destroy us or subjugate us or who wish to impose their ignoble tyranny and ignoble laws upon us. We who understand, who know, can only sigh, and be sad, and continue with our efforts to honourably fight this conflict and bring it to a swift conclusion: to bring about a resurgence, a renaissance, of the life-force itself, manifest as this life-force is, on this Earth which is currently our home, in individual character, honour, reason, and the diversity of ancestral culture and folk communities.
And while we fight, and struggle on, in this conflict - at present against terrible odds - we can be inspired by the vision of the world that can and one day must be: when the noble ideals we fight for are triumphant; a world where human beings have put aside their savage past, and live every day by the ideals of honour, reason, and fairness, imbued as they are by the perspective of Space, by the Cosmic Ethic.
There are only two practical, realistic, alternatives to direct involvement in this conflict.
1) The first is for some to opt out of society and, by means such as a new trek or the founding of a rural community or communities, create our own way of living in accord with our ideals, based as these ideals are on the new Cosmic Ethics. But even those who choose such an option must be prepared for the intrusion of the ignoble, the unjust, the barbarians, into their new world, and prepared to defend themselves and their way of life in an honourable, warrior, way.
2) The second is for individuals, on an individual basis or by means of
some group or groups, to spread the ideals of Folk Culture and Cosmic Ethics
- and the new Way of the Warrior - thus converting others to these ideals and
thus changing present societies from within.
