Title: The Illusion of the Thousand-Year Aryan Reich
Tags: #Evola #Traditionalism #SpiritualHierarchy #AryanMyth #MetaphysicalHistory

1. Spiritual Hierarchy Over Material Power: The so-called “Thousand-Year Reich” failed because it prioritized material and racial supremacy over spiritual and metaphysical principles. True power lies in the transcendence of the material realm.
   
2. Rejection of Modern Supremacism: Supremacist ideologies are a distortion of traditional values. True Aryan principles are rooted in spiritual nobility, not racial or biological dominance.
   3.The Fall of the Reich as a Warning: The short-lived nature of the Reich demonstrates the consequences of deviating from traditional, hierarchical, and spiritual principles.
   
3. Myth of the Aryan: The Aryan ideal is not tied to race but to a spiritual and metaphysical essence. It represents a higher state of being, not a temporal political construct.
   
4. Glory in Tradition, Not in Empire: The glory of the Aryan spirit lies in its alignment with eternal truths, not in the fleeting triumphs of political or military conquest.
   
5. Critique of Modernity: The Reich, despite its claims, was a product of modern materialism and collectivism, not a return to traditional values.
   
6. The Eternal vs. the Temporal: A true Aryan Reich would transcend time and space, embodying the perennial philosophy, not a temporal political entity.
   
7. Spiritual Awakening Over Supremacy: The focus should be on inner transformation and the awakening of the higher self, not on external dominance or superiority.
   
8. The Danger of Idolatry: The Reich's failure highlights the danger of idolizing temporal power and losing sight of the transcendent.
   
9. Return to Tradition: The only path to true glory is a return to the traditional, hierarchical, and spiritual order, as opposed to the chaos of modernity and its distortions.

THE TELLURIC RACE AND THE DIONYSIAN RACE.

The third race of the spirit, identified through ancient symbolic traditions, is the “telluric” or “Titanic” race. This race embodies a way of being that adheres to life in its immediacy, instinctiveness, and irrationality. The term “telluric” evokes seismic phenomena, reflecting the explosive impulsiveness, sudden changes, and absolute immediacy characteristic of this race. It is intensive yet gloomy, lacking the depth and detachment required for tragedy. Sexuality plays a significant role, particularly in its most elementary form, with women more easily embodying a “telluric” nature than men. The telluric man's sense of personality is underdeveloped, with the collective element prevailing, often manifesting through blood ties in a material, atavistic, and fatalistic manner. Within a civilization shaped by other human types, tellurism signifies the final phase of decomposition, marked by the liberation of previously restrained forces.

The telluric element is recognizable in the “Desert” race and the “East Baltic” race, known for their inner instability. The Etruscan race, as described by Bachofen, also embodies the dark and fatalistic traits of the telluric man. Mediterranean man, striving for a Nordico-Aryan lifestyle, must contend with this telluric influence. Keyserling aptly used the telluric attribute to describe aspects of the contemporary “world revolution.” In primordial traditions, the “Titanic” race opposes the “Demetrian man,” reflecting the degradation of virile quality into a terrestrial form, associated with wild and violent affirmations and inferior forces linked to ancient symbols like Poseidon. This race can also be termed “Promethean,” as it seeks to usurp the dignity of the solar race, evident in myths of titans battling Olympian forces and the Indo-Aryan tradition of the mlecchas, degraded warriors exterminated by Parashurama, a symbol of ancient spirituality.

Bachofen distinguishes between the Apollonian and Dionysian stages in the context of virility and solarity. The Apollonian stage represents immutable celestial light, symbolizing pure Hyperborean spirituality, as seen in the Delphic cult. The Dionysian stage, in contrast, embodies a solarity of light that undergoes cycles of birth, death, and resurrection, reflecting a law of becoming and transformation. Dionysian solarity is a virility that seeks light through passion but remains entangled with the sensual, telluric, and ecstatic-orgiastic elements of the Demetrian cycle. The association of female and lunar figures with Dionysos underscores this terrestrial virility, which, despite its luminous and ecstatic nature, fails to transcend its earthly roots. The Dionysian mysteries, linked to the Demetrian rather than the Apollonian, culminate in a “die and become” process under the sign of an infinite that destroys form and finite, reverting to telluric-Demetrian promiscuity.

Klages' views on ecstasies as the pinnacle of spiritual life align with this inferior type of Dionysian experience. The Dionysian man shares traits with the “Titanic” race, aspiring to reclaim lost heights through the radical unleashing of sensory forces but ultimately failing to preserve virile quality, mixing the sensitive with the supra-sensitive and achieving liberation at the cost of personal affirmation. This Dionysian spirit correlates with the Romantic man, both opposing the Olympian or solar race. The Dionysian-Romantic type is prevalent in Nordic races, including Germanic and Anglo-Saxon, highlighting the distinction between the primordial Nordico-Aryan race and later Nordic races. The prominence of feminine, Demetrian, and gynaecocratic elements in these races, as seen in the German language's gendered terms for sun and moon, suggests a spiritual involution, distancing them from the pure solar tradition.”

Metaphysical part:

In the Egyptian text, De Rachewiltz notes that it became the Book of the Dead for all through a process of “democratization.” Originally, during the ancient Empire, it was reserved exclusively for the Royal House and the high priesthood. The concept of “Osirification” and the attribution of the ka, the “double,” which paves the way for the sahu, the immortal body that “stands up” and “does not fall,” were initially limited to these elites.

The true title of the Egyptian text is The Book to Lead Out to the Day, a phrase whose deeper meaning refers to the ultimate goal: to emerge into the immortal light, the invisible light of Amenti. Similarly, in the Tibetan ritual, encountering absolute light is the first experience and test for the soul after death. A key aspect of the Egyptian ritual is overcoming the “second death,” the disintegration of the spiritual and psychic essence separated from the body by physical death. This existential danger in the afterlife is often depicted with dramatic intensity in the text.

While the Egyptian text emphasizes magic and determinative actions, the Tibetan tradition focuses more on the power of knowledge. However, both texts share parallels in their liberating identifications. Just as the Tibetan ritual highlights the dissolution of distinct entities as a path to liberation, the Egyptian text contains formulas where the soul affirms its identity with divine figures. Additionally, there are formulas for “transformation,” enabling the soul to manifest as cosmic powers, often symbolized by theriomorphic figures. These references have sometimes been misinterpreted as evidence of a reincarnation doctrine in ancient Egyptian esotericism.

The Egyptian text, as preserved, lacks systematic organization, with formulas often presented haphazardly. It includes fluctuations, spiritual ups and downs, and invocations of a religious and mystical nature. Yet, the most ancient and essential portions of the text are deeply rooted in magic. The soul asserts its metaphysical connection to divine essences, even threatening ultramundane divinities like Osiris and Ra, reflecting a principle of “transcendent virility.” The soul claims that its salvation is intertwined with that of the divine. Key themes include the “opening of the mouth” (reclaiming the magical power of the word), “breathing the breath of life,” gaining power over the Waters, and taking an immortal Name.

The Egyptian text was recited during funerals, akin to how the Tibetan Bardo Thödol is read to the dying and after death. Both aim to ensure the soul remains active and does not forget. De Rachewiltz also highlights that some passages suggest the Egyptian formulas were used during life, indicating the text's role as a magical ritual. This aligns with the ancient belief that initiation rites mirrored the experiences of the afterlife, with the same processes required to overcome the “second death” and achieve “Osirification.”
