“Ethnopluralism”: Different ethnic groups are equal before the law but ought to live in separation from each other in ethnostates, protected from marauding imperialists, global businesses, supremacists, Marxists, etc., with some kind of defensive federalism.

Truth sprouts from the earth -- Psalms 85:12

“All modern political teachings are secularized theological concepts” (Carl Schmitt)

"A state without the means of some change is without the means of its conservation." Edmund Burke

“...Can we all just get along?” asked Rodney King during the Los Angeles riot of 1992. Well, if we can’t, we can at least dwell apart...After all, it’s a big country. ”

Patrick J. Buchanan

"... New faiths have to be grafted upon old ones. All great teachers have built upon the past traditions of the race. They have to come to lead. They alter and adapt the Eternal Ancient Wisdom to the peculiar needs of that race, to the particular Message which that race is destined to leave for humanity. So also the Lord Zoroaster found a certain mass of tradition in Iran and the Message He gave to this branch of the human race was based upon what they had inherited from a dim and distant past..."

Is disclosed in the testimony of phenomena."

- Ibn ‘Ata’illah

"The universe is a machine for making gods." Bergson

“The future enters into us, in order to transform itself in us, long before it happens.” Rilke

"Things change because they are not complete." St. Thomas Aquinas

"All culture arises out of religion. When religious faith decays, culture must decline, though often seeming to flourish for a space of time after the religion which has nourished it has fallen into disbelief... no cultured person should remain indifferent to the erosion of apprehension of the transcendent." Russell Kirk, Eliot and His Age

Fundamentalists claim to be returning to an original Christianity based on biblical texts, seemingly unaware that as early as the third century, Christian scholars such as Origen were arguing that the scriptures, at a time when the New Testament was still not in its final form, needed to be interpreted allegorically rather than literally. Who are the traditionalists here? — Charles Freeman

“A writer’s goal is to fight the lie.” Alexander Solzhenitsyn

"The innovator has for enemies all who have done well under the old conditions and lukewarm defenders in those who may do well under the new” Machiavelli

“God who is eternally complete, who directs the stars, who is the master of fates, who elevates man from his lowliness to Himself, who speaks from the cosmos to every single human soul, is the most brilliant manifestation of the goal of perfection.”

Alfred Adler

Believe one who has tried: You shall find a fuller satisfaction in the woods than in books. The trees and the rocks will teach you what you cannot hear from the masters.

-Bernard of Clairvaux

If I have the least bit of knowledge
I will follow the great Way alone
and fear nothing but being sidetracked.
The great Way is simple
but people delight in complexity.
Tao Te Ching, 53.

"What is culture? The word itself comes from “cultus” or cult and has intrinsic religious dimensions. Culture, strictly speaking, refers to all the aspects of daily life that bear the imprint of society’s religious center: tools, architecture, clothing, as well as art, literature, and music. From this perspective, culture refers to the sanctification of daily life.”

Arthur Verluis

The laws of nature are but the mathematical thoughts of God.

—Euclid

According to Aristotle, nature itself drives toward the good.

"That by which we fall is that by which we rise."
Tantric saying

Einstein: “Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.”

"We are all agreed that your theory is crazy. The question that divides us is whether it is crazy enough to have a chance of being correct." Niels Bohr

"Archetypes are like riverbeds which dry up when the water deserts them, but which it can find again at any time. An archetype is like an old watercourse along which the water of life flowed for centuries, digging a deep channel for itself. The longer it has flowed in the channel the more likely it is that sooner or later the water will return to its old bed."[Wotan, C.G. Jung]

“A theory is more impressive the greater is the simplicity of its premise, the more different are the kinds of things it relates and the more extended its range of applicability…”
-Einstein

“To Know the Absolute is to Be the Absolute.” Bede Griffiths

To define is not to know, to be is to know. To be or not to be is indeed the question. KLA

My teachings are very easy to understand and to practice; yet there is no one in the world who is able either to understand or to practice them. This is because my teachings have an originating principle and arise from an integrated system. This is not understood, so I am unknown.

~ Lao Tzu

Take refuge in the law of evolution.

It is possible to learn the outer steps that must be accomplished in a rite without learning the inner meanings that are the keys to the sacred traditions. Each seeker must therefore open his heart to the Great Mystery as he tries to follow the sacred way, because the perfect accomplishment of the outer steps of a rite will be worth nothing without the knowledge of the inner meanings.

- Yellowtail

Involve and awaken. Evolve and arrive at who awakened you. KLA

"History does repeat itself---yet always with variations." Russell Kirk

Patience is a tree—
Its roots may be bitter (to eat),
but its fruit is the sweetest of sweet.

-African proverb

"T.S. Eliot pointed out that an artist creates his own "school" of predecessors that nobody noticed had anything in common before."

Steve Sailer

There is no visible thing, in the world, more worthy to serve as a symbol of God than the sun,
which illuminates with visible life, first itself,
then all the celestial and mundane bodies.- DANTE

We can only accommodate the changing demographics of the nation and the world if we hold fast to the rights and independence of the states and of local rule. Otherwise the always changing demographics may vote the laws and the Constitution out of existence, and the freedom to evolve will be lost. KLA

"Accept the truth, whatever its sources."
Moses Maimonides

"Every truth – no matter who speaks it – is from the Holy Spirit."
(omne verum a quocumque dicatur a Spiritu Sancto est) (St Thomas Aquinas)

It is not words or numbers or the order of words and numbers that govern the Kosmos, it is the Objects that the words and numbers define which govern the Kosmos. (KLA)

Materia and energy are INTERTWINED with time in physics. So there can not be any time before materia and energy, neither can we say that materia and energy are eternal as if there was some kind of meta-time, because there is no such thing. And if the supernatural does exist, it is natural. There is no point in talking of something being supernatural. If something does exist IT IS PART OF NATURE, part of Ahura.

Alexander Bard

“The purer the person or the thing is, the quicker the world will violate and destroy it.” Dowson

τά ... μєγλα πάυτα έπιφαλη …
[All that is great stands in the storm ...]
(Plato, Republic, 497 d. 9)
