The Demiurge, the Archons and the Fallen Sophia

In Gnostic mythology, our universe of matter and psyche was created when the Aeon Sophia transgressed in the Original Pleroma and fell. From her tears came the Demiurge, the Divine Ruler of this World and his henchmen, the Archons. Bad boys, all. Here the Fallen Sophia laments her exile, while the Archons carry out the evil bidding of their overlord, the Demiurge. You can see why, even though the Archons are false gods, they get worshipped a lot. Great for Gnostic Sunday School classes!

Lyrics (from Bulgarian):

Your beauty drives me crazy.
Your hand makes me shiver.
In your eyes I start drowning.
I want to drown in your hair.

You make me stop breathing.
Pretend you understand.
If needed, lie to me,
say how much you love me.

Chorus:
But I say to you, stop,
stop killing me,
stop burning me:
oh, why do you do it?

I’m not the only one
who has had you.
I’m not the one,
and I believe I have lived.
I’m not the one,
but I believed you are in me.
I’m not the one,
but I could laugh.

Toward Our Future

What the sons of Europa need is a new religion: one that is as tribal, portable and survivalist as Judaism, as masculine, terrestrial and tough as Islam and as intellectually and aesthetically creative as Christianity...with a dose of the unflinching realism of the ancestral ways of the Greeks and Romans, Germans and Celts and Slavs..And for the larger Indo-European frame, something of the Indian capacity to combine an ultimate and philosophical realization of The One with a robustly mytho-poetic religion on-the-ground. Oh, and some of the psychological acumen of Buddhism.

Liberalism's Basic Flaw

Liberals believe that the chief role of the State is to force everyone to be equal, (ie, take vengeance on the successful). So when they are confronted with any group that they deem less well off than themselves, they are morally disarmed, completely and utterly. Any group that can achieve Victim Status is on their way to power and the (White) liberal's only job is to give them what they want, no matter how much that damages him. And nothing may ever be expected, much less demanded, of them in return. It's a recipe for suicide: no other outcome is possible.
