ex cathedra: Personal and planetary transformation

Personal and planetary transformation

That's a line that often accompanies offers of service, products and programs in a lot of the New Agey magazines I've seen in the Bay Area over the years.

Nothing if not humble.

Here's a documentary about how American RC sisters got themselves transformed from, well, Catholic nuns into Global Citizens. And in the process, the film's author(ess) has a theological breakthrough, able for the first time to let go of her image of God "as an angry white man."

Truly, progress marches on.

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.
