1. Nordico-Aryan Element as Central Reference: The Nordico-Aryan element is crucial for the purification and strengthening of the Italian people. It serves as a germinal cell for the emergence of a new type, the “Fascist man” and “Fascist race,” through active racism.
   
2. Race of the Soul and Spirit: The primary focus of racial purification lies in the soul and spirit, not just the body. Awakening an instinct to avoid undesirable unions is key, as this instinct formation belongs to active second- and third-degree racism.
   
3. Italian Racial Components: The Italian race comprises several elements, including the Nordic, Phalian, Dinaric, African-Mediterranean, and Pelasgic races. The most valuable element is the Nordico-Aryan, termed “Aryo-Roman.”
   
4. Undesirable Racial Mixing: The mixing of the Aryo-Roman element with the African-Mediterranean and Pelasgic elements should be avoided. Even mixing with the “westish” (Western) race is undesirable due to its negative influence on the soul.
   
5. Favorable Racial Mixing: Mixing the Aryo-Roman race with the Aryo-Germanic, Nordic, Dinaric, and Phalian races is beneficial. However, this pattern is only valid when a corresponding racial sensitivity is created.
   
6. Bourgeois Race as Anti-Race: The bourgeois race, characterized by mediocrity, conformism, and opportunism, is the true danger to the Italian people. It represents an anti-race that must be despised and isolated from.
   
7. Male Dominance in Racial Purity: Favourable crossbreeds are those where the male is of the Aryo-Roman race. When the female is of this race, a drop in the racial level typically occurs.
   
8. Instinct Over Rational Administration: Racial selection should not be a rational, controlled process but should arise from refined instincts of love and desire, guided by ethical sensibility and racial consciousness.
   
9. Rectification of the Soul: The rectification of race must address the soul, particularly in a bourgeois civilization that prioritizes superficial feelings and love, paralysing higher motives.
   
10. Bourgeois Civilization's Negative Impact: Bourgeois and materialistic civilization has created a society of conformity, making it difficult to discern the true racial nature of individuals, especially women, hindering proper racial unions.

INTER-RACIAL SELECTION IN THE MEDITERRANEAN WORLD

It is essential to avoid replacing one unilateral perspective with another. Recognizing the significant role of the Nordic-Aryan element in the origins of Italian and Roman greatness, as well as its presence in the current Italian stock as a “race of the body,” does not negate the need for selection, purification, and intensification. The Nordic-Aryan element should serve as a central reference point for the purification and strengthening of the modern Italian people, acting as a germinal cell from which a new type must emerge—a type that could rightly be termed the “Fascist man” or “Fascist race.” This is the task of active racism, which requires a clear identification of the various components of the “Italian race” and their rectification where they deviate from the ideal, both ancient and modern, tied to the luminous heritage of primordial solar traditions.

This process primarily concerns the race of the soul and spirit. Surgical interventions to prevent crossbreeding among heterogeneous types within the Italian breed would be ineffective without the corresponding inner transformation. The key is to awaken an instinct that spontaneously rejects undesirable unions—a task that falls under active second- and third-degree racism, which operates on the soul and spirit rather than the body.

From an external perspective, the primary racial components of the “Germanic race” include the Nordic, Phalian, Dinaric, Eastern (ostisch), Western (westisch), and East Baltic races. With the exception of the East Baltic and Eastern races, the others are also present in the “Italian breed,” alongside two major components: the “African-Mediterranean race” and the “Pelasgic race.” The African-Mediterranean race results from a mixture of Eastern and African Mediterranean elements with the Aryo-Mediterranean race, with the former predominating—a factor that contributed to the decline of the Roman Empire and was further reinforced during the Saracen period. The Pelasgic race, on the other hand, stems from the ethnic involution of ancient Aryo-Western or Atlantic-Western stocks in the Central Mediterranean.

The most valuable element in the Italian racial composition remains the Nordic-Aryan, which we propose to term “Aryo-Roman.” The least favorable mixtures to be avoided are those between the Aryo-Roman element and the African-Mediterranean element (particularly prevalent in southern Italy) or the Pelasgic element. Even mixing with the Western (westisch) racial component, present in Italy, is undesirable, primarily for spiritual rather than anthropological reasons. The Western racial type, dominant in French civilization since the Provençal period and present in England and western Germany, has a less negative influence in those regions due to the tempering effect of the Nordic race. In Italy, however, the introduction of Western blood could harm the Aryo-Roman core until a stronger racial and ethical consciousness is established. Favorable mixtures include those between the Aryo-Roman race and the Aryo-Germanic, Nordic, Dinaric, and Phalian races. These patterns, however, will only hold value once a corresponding sensitivity is cultivated.

In Germany, the predominance of the Eastern (estish) racial component is often linked to the bourgeois type—stereotypically fat, beer-drinking, round-headed, and conformist. While the Western component is weaker in Italy, the country suffers from a hypertrophied bourgeois race of body and soul, which Fascism identifies as a significant threat. This “anti-race” embodies mediocrity, opportunism, conformism, and a fear of responsibility. Those who identify with the Aryo-Roman ethos must reject this bourgeois race entirely, isolating themselves from its influence both physically and spiritually. Racial purity, in this context, demands absolute intransigence and a willingness to take social and political risks to oppose this “bourgeois race” wherever it appears.

Regarding the protection of the superior Aryo-Roman core and favorable crossbreeding, it is crucial to remember that the male type carries the racial essence. Favorable crossbreeding occurs when the man is of Aryo-Roman race; when the woman is of this race, a decline in type is likely.

It is important to clarify that this framework is not a call for a technocratic administration of unions or the suppression of spontaneity in love and desire. Rather, the goal is to cultivate refined instincts among the highest racial representatives of a people, ensuring that love and desire are guided by ethical sensibility and a higher sense of “race.” For example, women who are physically attractive but morally flawed—selfish, vain, or bourgeois—should be seen as belonging to “another race,” unsuitable for long-term unions or offspring. Physical traits, too, should alert a refined male instinct to racial incompatibility.

The rectification of race from the perspective of the soul is further complicated by bourgeois and materialistic civilization, which has elevated “feeling” and “love” to a paralyzing primacy, stifling higher motives. Additionally, bourgeois conformity in Mediterranean societies makes it difficult to discern the true racial and spiritual nature of a woman, a prerequisite for meaningful unions.

Metaphysical part:

Hindu Tantric iconography accentuates the authentic traits of the two principles. First, consider the image of Shakti dancing over Shiva's motionless body. Here, Shiva's stillness symbolizes the unchanging nature of the male principle. In Hindu religious art, his towering stature signifies his superior ontological status compared to Shakti, who is in motion. Second, the symbolism of Shakti and Shiva's union in viparita maithuna—where the male remains still while the female actively moves—further illustrates this dynamic. Western “activist” ideals have inverted the traditional notion that the true male principle is defined by “being.” This principle does not act, as it is sovereign and generates action without direct involvement. Thus, action, dynamism, and development, being non-self-sufficient, fall under the feminine element, nature, or prakriti, rather than under spirit, atman, or purusha. This represents active immobility versus passive activity, a truth forgotten by the activist West, which has lost sight of true virility.

In individual initiatory practices, a young woman must be consecrated, initiated, and instructed in mudras, the ritualistic and magical positions. These women, referred to as mudra, embody not only the physical positions during union but also the evocation of an inner power, aligning them with divine attributes or magical forms of divinity.

In the Samkhya tradition, the male principle, Shiva, is attributed a non-acting, originating role. He awakens Shakti and determines motion, but it is Shakti who truly acts, moves, and generates. This is symbolized in the sexual union where Shakti, made of flames, actively moves while embracing the divine male, made of light and bearing the scepter, who remains still. This viparita-maithuna, or inverted coitus, is prevalent in the sacred iconography of India and Tibet, particularly in yab-yum chudpa statuettes. In divine personifications, Shakti corresponds to Kali, the “black goddess,” often depicted as flames or surrounded by a fiery halo. Kali embodies the pre-form darkness and fire, representing an energy that transcends finite forms and limits, often manifesting as a destructive force.
