Disenchantment
The Waste Land is The World
- Disenchantment and the Wasteland: The land often suffers from a state of decay and desolation, referred to as the "Wasteland," which is linked to the Fisher King's ailment. The successful completion of the Grail quest is believed to restore fertility and vitality to the land.
The Waste Land - a world without god, spirit, myth and meaning
The waste land The desert of the real The “modern” world The myth of progress
A world without myth, without god “What hath man wrought?”
A person born into this world is born adrift
A new and ancient story Evola and the importance of tradition
Why leftism is so insane now - they have internalized the “progressive” atheistic materialist paradigm
The peak of materialism The nadir of insanity
The split in humanity -
- the transhumanist, “science”, artificial, machine, slop, vaccines and medicine, entertainment …..
- Natural, community, nature, spirit, myth, tradition
The enlightenment Throwing the baby out with the bath water Rejection of religion because of the evils of pseudo-religion, religion co-opted to be a tool of the State, of power
Kali Yuga Accepting that this is an age of spiritual darkness But that there is a breakaway civilization The mainstream, the mass culture is going in a direction - but you don’t have to go with it
The wasteland The king is wounded and the land is blighted The Nothingness of the Never-ending story Even in a desert - some flowers can bloom - and there are all the more beautiful There are a few oasis’s
A culture without the mytheo-spiritual Without the magical Without tradition, meaning, Without an identity
In this modern world we have everything but the only think that matters We are so rich, yet so very poor
The raping of the maidens of the wells We raped nature - we desecrated nature because we became lustful and brutish And so the fairy maidens fled, the enchantment and magic died We have to restore this
A place between myths and stories We have to create anew - yet we can draw upon the entire human heritage and synthesize it
Re-discovery and re-awakening of the imagination, the imagination realm, the mythic
In the wasteland, where god is dead, people believe in and become zealots of all sorts of secular religions
Culture The importance of culture Conditioning and indoctrination People can’t help it, they are born into a culture steeped in ego, illusion, ignorance, separation
