Evola's Two Traditions Are Really One

What Evola and others call “the transmission (traditio) from generation to generation of a 'presence' of 'transcendent' nature, just as a flame lights another flame,” where... “a chain of individuals becomes the mediator of a continuity of contact with metaphysical reality and a non-human force”--- this is, in the Outward Path, accomplished through successful reproduction and survival, that is, not through the Traditional metaphysical identity but through sacred upward evolution from the material to the supermaterial to Godhood. The “flame” is the egg and the sperm bringing the Spirit to the next generation. The occult element in this Outward Path would be knowledge of the sacred path of evolution to Absolute Beauty, Absolute Truth and Absolute Goodness. Religious activities in the Outward Path become organized around this goal, whereas the Inward Path follows more the Traditional metaphysical “identity.”

When Evola speaks of Two Traditions, action and contemplation, he is really speaking of the same Inward Path, the same Being can be reached either by means of Action or by means of Contemplative Knowledge. The Being is the Being of the Inward Path, which is identifying with God. One needs another Path to “Become” God, to evolve to Godhood, and that is the Outward Path, which is not at all the same as the Action path of Evola which leads to the same identification with God as the Contemplative path. The Outward Path is the Path of material and supermaterial evolution to Godhood.

The Evolutionary Christian Church does not need to destroy the premise of any tradition or lose contact with metaphysics, the God “identified with” in the Inward Path is the God “attained” in the Outward Path of evolution. We seek to restore the West, which has reacted against religion, by bringing the very Western concept of Evolution into Tradition, with the Twofold Path.
