Essential Imperative

By Ron McVan

"But again, the Industrial Revolution made cities, and cities made crowds, and crowds unmade men. Once more in the modern metropolis those conditions appeared which in the Orient had shorn the individual of personality and meaning, and had led to a similar philosophy of fatalism and despair. In this teeming welter of population one became a number or a "hand"; the mind became an instrument for measuring and counting, and man became part of the machines he fed. Democracy, which had proposed to liberate the individual, became itself a mechanism, a chain of "machines", automatically leading mindless masses to the ballot-box." ..........Will Durant

There is nothing cultural or esthetic in the impulse to create large communities; since ancient times the motive was more often the result of fear and the desire for mutual protection from invaders. Although the sprawling cities of today rise as monuments to human ingenuity, they remain a serious menace to both the physical and mental health of Mankind, along with the welfare and survival of the entire planet. The large community brings with it unhealthy congestion, pollution, poverty, destructive miscegenation, global poisoning and serve as a breeding place for major drug traffic and rampant crime. The vocations and avocations, amusements and recreation of the city dweller are artificial. Locked in a man-made world, we have lost contact with the god-made universe and the phenomenal interweave and harmony within Natures perfection which is clearly demonstrated to us throughout our daily lives. Man has become the "homo-economicus" who must ceaselessly consume manufactured products in order that the machines of industry to which he is a slave may continually grow. Evidence is conclusive that folk community living is the one solution for the economic fear and destructive lifestyle that is eroding the health and race-soul of our people in the over-populated and polyglot urbanized cities. In an order of living based on the doctrines of debt, nervous ailments and psychological imbalance remain an equal concern. Instability often develops as a common by-product of material aspirations, while man grinds away from youth to old age to maintain a consumer lifestyle beyond his means. What is the good of increasing the materialism, artificial pseudo luxuries, industries that produces useless things, or the size and the complications of our civilization, if our weakness of foresight prevents us from designing it to our needed fulfillment for health,survival and happiness? The whole mechanics of accumulation is a human invention and has no significance outside of the human sphere. The principle phobias of modern man are closely related to the false beliefs to which he is addicted. Prominent among the popular phobias are: fear of poverty, fear of old age, fear of war, fear of sickness and fear of death. All of these fears are closely related to the financial state. It is not difficult to understand that the conscious or subconscious stress due to the many mounting tensions is detrimental to health, life and the wholistic lifestyle of our race. This all-consuming imbalance resulting from the urban conglomerate ultimately ends up culminating in the nerves, incurring physical and psychological maladies.

It is impossible for the mental life of a man to unfold naturally and normally toward a state of enlightenment and genetic health unless the physical environment is simplified in every possible way. Creative thought must come from relaxed, natural surroundings that do not interfere with sensitive impulses which flow from the mind through the ether and into the brain. Confusions, anxieties, noise interruptions, pollution, racial tensions and improper diet represent to today's urban families a highly unbalanced development process. Such conditions make marriage, child-rearing and spiritual growth practically impossible. The main pressures of the urban polyglot city life are often capable of producing a bad disposition in all of us, which is one of the heaviest burdens that the flesh can bear. Outside of the body these tensions we distort and deform otherwise wholesome attitudes, beliefs and convictions. After more than a century of internationalist blather about technological advancements by the grand architects of the funeral pyre, it is always the common people who become grossly horn-swagled and exploited pointlessly in no-win wars for the economic gain of the financial, Power Elite. Materialism has failed in man, failed in society and failed in the universe. The human instinct, wiser and older than all sciences, knows that man and the planet can not function autonomously without serious consequences. The world is ruled by absolute and immutable laws; to know them is to be wise, to keep them is to be happy, to break them is to die. The grand design by our exploiters for a one world, universalist global plantation has been, and always will be, an unmitigated disaster for all races of the world! The secret of healing, individually or collectively, is to create health potential by removing those artificial and destructive obstacles which impede the natural flow of life. If we are to be well in mind and body and spirit, we must free ourselves from the delusion of universalist and consumer driven materialistic civilization, and renounce as unlivable this prevailing destructive mindless society that highly jeopardizes the delicate balance of existence for both mankind and the planet. A healthy life and lifestyle is precious and vital to most human beings, for without it even the noblest of ambitions are difficult to realize. Mind can be the origin of both happiness and misery, health and sickness, even life and death. Health cannot be achieved by direct effort alone, it must be a consequence of right action---the result of an indigenous and harmonious community life among one's own people and ethnic culture. If we cannot fully comprehend the magnitude of this simple acronymn and awaken ourselves to it, then the extinction of the races and ultimately civilization on the entire planet is inevitable. It is a bitter truth that human life is no more to the universe than that of the unnoticed snail in the grass. From this sober perspective we should consider that, if we think more highly of ourselves as a species, as a folk, as upwardly evolving, intelligent living beings, who reason and create, we are at a far greater advantage. We must look at ourselves not as rootless raceless individuals but as a distinct race of people unified in will and purpose. To live only to survive is not only a pointless and uninspired life, it is also a selfish life. To strive for greatness is to embrace life at its highest level of purpose and gratification. The evolution of a healthy people begins with a conscious understanding of their indigenous gods, accurate history and folk mythos, which is the binding glue and solid foundation of every race. Our personal living is based upon our conviction concerning spirituality and the nature of eternal being. These inwardly discovered certainties bestow within us the strength of will necessary for right action, thus establishing in the mind a sense of direction and harmony with the physical and non-physical realms.

The second necessary element in a positive philosophy of life is the realization of the eternity of the self and the understanding of the great law of evolution of our species, through which a race must strive to reach its perfection and fulfillment. There must be a sense of folkish participation in the growth and unfoldment everywhere visible. The purpose of life is growth. A species is successful to the degree that it develops character in harmony with the natural laws of the world of which we are a part. The third consideration involves the sharing of what we are and what we have with others of our kind. Cooperation, kinship and the constructive emotions which bring a folk into a closer concord are important key elements to a healthy meaningful environment. The last consideration is that of leisure; haste and stress must be minimized from our technique of living. The civilized race is one which has discovered the dignity of leisure. And it is this discovery which made the ancient Aryan civilizations of Sumaria, Egypt, Greece, The Celts and Teutons great in philosophy, art, science and literature. There must be time rescued from mundane pursuits to be devoted to the culturing of the self. It is the freedom from hyper stress which enables us to embrace a healthy and balanced enthusiasm for greater and higher ideas, and ideals, which are necessary in the development of a wholesome intelligent people. The world struggle for the future is only now just beginning. As the sickness of this sinking society of mankind becomes too much to bear, the need for a neo-tribalism and a return to our folkish communities will become evermore apparent. To this, the Path of our ancient pagan ways, be it Wotanism, Druidism or others can become a superior counterforce to today's critical dilemma's and provide a dynamic storehouse of ancestral knowledge and ethnic identity. In short, our ethnic pantheons and indigenous spiritual paths have all the tools necessary for our contiued upward evolution, unity, survival and advancement. Everything within them is conducted to instill in the spirit the most heroic courage by way of the remembrance and honor of our true ethnic gods, heroes and noble forebears, whose principles and sentiments encourage and motivate us to our highest actions and achievements. We alone are the masters of our destiny and imagination has no limitation. It is in our power to surmount the existing hurdles and despondencies by seeing through them and understanding them and in to turn overcome them. To understand the essential purposes of life we must elevate ourselves far above the mundane earthly grind, reaching out to the boundless! Conquest over chaos! Light over darkness! Respect for Nature and the planet! A people unified! strong! vibrant! determined! and focused! The Essential Imperative! A giant first step towards a bold new beginning and a glorious Golden Age! "Only he who bears his own soul living and burning in his breast is an individual, is a master. And he who abandons his own kind is a slave. The key to freedom lies inside us! Now we hearken again to the voice of our ancestors and protect our essence from alien influences, protect that which wants to grow out of our own souls. Stronger than an army is the man who relies on the power which resides within him!" ..........Wulf Sorensen
