I wrote this earlier on the first page of a the book I am about to quote from:

I imagine one day getting to a point in humanity that there is nothing that we have to do. Only things that we want to do.

I am so lucky to have made it to where I am right now. There is nothing that I feel I have to do, only things that I want to do
.”

Now I realize that everyone is not at this stage in their lives, but I do feel that we are ALL on the path to getting to this level. There is no rush to become free of duties or responsibilities. Many times there are things that we have to do to get to a point that there is nothing that must be done; and this is ok. This is a tangible goal that we can all aim to achieve, collectively and individually... The more that people have a wish to become free of things that must be done, the quicker we can reach there as a whole. Then anything truly becomes possible.

And from the book I was reading - “The Metaphysics of War”, a collection of essays published in the 1930s by Julius Evola. (Don’t jump to conclusions about who he was writing this for, do your own research.)

“The basis of this attitude is summed up in Paul’s well-known phrase, vita est militia super terram. It is a matter of conceiving the being here below as having been sent in the guise of a man on a mission of military service to a remote front, the purpose of this mission not always being directly sensed by the individual (in the same manner that one who fights in the “foreign posts” cannot always form a precise idea of the overall plan to which he contributes), but in which inner nobleness is always measured by the fact of resisting, of accomplishing, in spite of all, what must be accomplished, in the fact of not doubting, nor hesitating, in the fact of a fidelity stronger than life or death.

The first results of this view are an affirmative attitude with respect to the world: assertion and, at the same time, a certain freedom. He who is really a soldier is so by nature, and therefore because he wants to be so; in the missions and task which are given to him, consequently, he recognizes himself, so to speak. Likewise, the one who conceives his existence as being that of a soldier in an army will be very far from considering the world as a vale of tears from which to flee, or as a circus of irrational events at which to throw himself blindly, or as a realm for which carpe diem (seize the day) constitutes the supreme wisdom. Though he is not unaware of the tragic and negative side of so many things, his way of reacting to them will be quite different from that of all other men. His feeling that this world is not his Fatherland, and that it does not represent his proper condition, so to speak - his feeling that, basically, he ‘comes from afar’ - will remain a fundamental element which will not give rise to mystical escapism and spiritual weakness, but rather will enable him to minimize, to relativize, to refer to higher concepts of measure and limit, all that can seem important and definitive to others, starting with death itself, and will confer on him calm force and breadth of vision.”

What a passage... People commonly talk about the degradation of writers, thinkers, and humans in the past however many decades, but when you read writers like Evola you can see how far we have actually tumbled. He lived it man. He was missing a few critical components, but overall what he was trying to accomplish was just outstanding for his time and place in history.

The last thing I would like to say is that it truly seems to me that GLP as a whole is unifying because of the topics that we are discussing about here. It is the “uniqueness” of GLP, the reason that we all come back here... We are all accessing different parts of the collective to retrieve our thoughts and ideas on this subject and posting them here for the “blueprint” to form. And for those who speak with some authority, the common themes are Supra-natural.

I cheers to you all.

Hear us roar.
