On Modern Technological Society - A Warning From The Past

 

If, thanks to the efforts of self-sacrificing men, science had been brought so far as to be on the track of the fundamental laws of the cosmos, now there emerged a factor that could not easily earlier: the technical processing of the collected knowledge that promotes immediate usefulness. Man began to become increasingly the slave of his creation, of the machine, the technique of life established itself more and more. And that meant the breach through which the Jew rushed into our culture!

Winter Solstice - The Rising Sun of The Imperial Epoch

 Very few suspect that the holidays [i.e., Catholic holy days] of today, in the century of skyscrapers, radio, great movements of the masses, are celebrated and continue . . . a remote tradition, bringing us back to the times when, almost at the dawn of humanity, the rising motion of the first Aryan civilization began; a tradition, in which, moreover, the great voice of those men is expressed rather than a particular belief.

A fact unknown to most must be first of all remembered, viz., that in its origins the date of Christmas and that of the beginning of the new year coincided, this date not being arbitrary, but connected to a precise cosmic event, namely, the Winter Solstice. The Winter Solstice falls in fact on December 25, which is the date of Christmas, subsequently known, but which in its origins had an essentially solar significance. That appears also in ancient Rome: the date of Christmas in ancient Rome was that of the rising of the Sun, the unconquered God, Natalis solis invicti. With that, as the day of the new sun — dies solis novi — in the imperial epoch brought the beginning of the new year, the new cycle. But this “solar birth” of Rome in the imperial period, in its turn, referred to a somewhat more remote tradition of Nordic-Aryan origin. Of the reset, Sol, the solar divinity, appeared already among the dii indigetes, that is, among the divinities of Roman origin, passed on from even more distant cycles of civilization. In reality, the solar religion of the imperial period, in a large measure had the meaning of a recovery and almost of a rebirth, unfortunately altered by various factors of decomposition, of a very old Aryan heritage.

In the Aryan and Nordic tradition and in Rome itself, the same theme had an importance not only religious and mystical, but sacred, heroic and cosmic at the same time. It was the tradition of a people, to whom the same nature, the same great voice, which I wrote about , at that date, a tradition of a mystery of resurrection, of the birth or rebirth of a beginning not only of “light” and new life, but also of Imperium, in the highest and most august meaning of the word.

Samhain in Helvetia

 

This year I had the chance to spend some days in Switzerland. In the rural area of the German-speaking Canton of St. Gallen. Honestly speaking, it was the ideal place to spend before, during and after the Samhain. Walking around lake Constance, visiting castles, medieval libraries and gothic cathedrals, accompanied with fog, rain and also some sunshine (I was told that this was a very rare phenomenon for this time of the year). But from all the places I visited, the one that impressed me most was the Carl G. Jung House which is located in the lake Zurich. 

Some years ago I`ve got in my hands Miguel Serrano's book "C.G. Jung and Herman Hesse: A record of two friendships". It was from there that I was really impressed by the personality of Carl Gustav Jung and also from his way of living and his surroundings. Ofcourse I was already aware of his excellent essay WOTAN ( there he explains and analyze the National Socialist phenomenon), but it was through Serrano's book that I understood that Jung was not just another famous psychologist as oftently portrayed in the mainstream press, but also other things further than that. A mysticist and an artist.

Thats why in this thread from all the days, places and several photos I took,  I think it deserve a post of photos dedicated only to my visit in Jung Haus and also from the cemetary that his grave is located. Unfortunately, in the house it was forbidden to take any pics inside. So here I post photos from all around the house. But here I put the descriptions that Miguel Serrano gave from the house when he was met with Jung during the 1950's.  Believe me,  things inside, even after so many decades later,  is EXACTLY the same as Serrano described it. I showed this to a member of the house stuff that guiding us inside and she was really impressed of how truly accurate this descriptions are. 

Two intresting notes. The library of Doctor Jung is perhaps the most brilliant private library I have ever seen. Full of medieval or very old historical, mythological, mystical/magical and alchemical books. Most of them leather-bound,  placed in wooden shelves that goes up to the top of the room and you need a moving stair to see them. Also in a room I was find it suprizing that he had a bust of Homer and also the only pic of him was when he visited Acropolis Athens placed in a chair (I managed to take a pic of this from outside).

Ok, so here we go with the photos of both the house and the grave. All text taken from Miguel Serrano's above mentioned book.

Küsnacht/Lake Zurich  - THE HOUSE BY THE LAKE

"....I left immediately and arrived in time at his house in Küsnacht. Over the doorway of his house was written an inscription in Latin: Vocatus adque non vocatus, Deus aderit. [Called or not called, God is present.] "

"The inside of the house seemed dark and shadowy. I was greeted by the same woman I had seen with Jung in Locarno, and she introduced herself as Miss Bailey. She asked me to go up, and as I climbed the stairs, I noticed that the walls were covered with ancient drawings of medieval and Renaissance scenes."

"I then waited in a little room upstairs. In due course, Dr. Jung appeared and greeted me cordially, asking me to go into his study, which had a window overlooking the lake. In the center of the room was a desk covered with papers, and round about were many bookcases. I noticed some bronze Buddhas and over his work table a large scroll showing Siva on top of Mount Kailas. That painting forcibly reminded me of the many pilgrimages which I myself had taken into the Himalayas. We sat down beside the window, and Dr. Jung made himself comfortable in a large armchair opposite me."

"It was late when I left Jung’s house, and as I walked down towards the lake, I thought of our conversation and tried to put my feelings in order."

THE CEMETARY - A RESTING PLACE OF A MYSTICIST

"The Jung family tomb is at Kusnacht and we went there to visit it.  Standing on the gound is large round stone with  a cavity in the centre which catches rainwater. Nearby is another vertical stone engraved with the family crest.  The base of this stone is squared, and on each side is latin inscription: "First the terrestrial man of the earth, Second "The Celestial man of heaven". I believe these are taken from the writting of St Paul.  The part of the inscription is ofcourse the same as is found on the gate of Jung's House"

The School of Athens - A Renaissance View of The Creators of Western Civilization

 

THE SCHOOL OF ATHENS

By 

The Cultural Tutor

The School of Athens, created by Raphael in 1511, is one of the world's most famous paintings.

But who are all these people in it?

1) Heraclitus (535-475 BC) Pre-Socratic philosopher whose work only survives as "Fragments." These have long given him an aura of mysterious wisdom. Here portrayed as Michelangelo (1475-1564) Italian Renaissance painter, sculptor, and architect, best known for his statue of David.

2)Euclid (4th-3rd century BC) The founder of geometry. His work "The Elements" was a standard maths textbook for over 2,000 years. Portrayed as Bramante (1444-1515) Italian architect who brought the Renaissance style to Rome and Milan. He helped design St. Peter's Basilica.

3)Anaximander (610-546 BC) Important pre-Socratic philosopher from Miletus. The first philosopher known to have written down his studies, he was also an early scientific thinker whose ideas influenced geometry, geography, and astronomy.

4)Left: Aeschines (389–314 BC) Athenian soldier, statesmen, and orator. Listed in the Alexandrian Canon as one of the 10 Attic Orators - the greatest speakers of classical Athens.

Right: Socrates (470–399 BC) The godfather of Western philosophy.

5)Plato (424–347 BC) Second founder of Western philosophy. Student of Socrates, teacher of Aristotle. He started the Academy: the first higher educational institution in the West. Portrayed as Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) The ultimate Renaissance man.

6) Left: Pythagoras (570-495 BC) Incalculably important philosopher who contributed to mathematics, ethics, music, metaphysics, and more.

Right: Archimedes (287-212 BC) Inventor, engineer, physicist, astronomer, genuine genius, and the greatest ancient mathematician.

7) Diogenes (412-323 BC) Ultimate Cynic philosopher. He begged for a living, sabotaged Plato's lectures, and made fun of Alexander the Great (to his face). He lived in conscious protest against the perceived hypocracies, trivialities, and pretensions of his age.

8) Parmenides (6th-5th centuries BC) The founder of ontology, i.e. the branch of philosophy that considers existence and reality.

9) Left (with helmet): Alcibiades (450–404 BC) Controversial Athenian general, statesmen, democratic leader, and trouble-maker; both a hero and a villain, but a hero in the end.

Right (with hat): Antisthenes (446–366 BC) The founder of Cynic philosophy, pupil of Socrates.

10) Epicurus (446-366 BC) Philosopher and founder of Epicureanism, an alternative to Platonism. His teachings focussed on the way to achieve human contentment, though this has sometimes been misrepresented as a sort of materialistic hedonism.

11) Carneades (214–129 BC) A founder of Skepticism. He reacted against the dogmatic adherents of Stoicism and Epicureanism by questioning human ability to ascertain truth at all.

12) Aristotle (384–322 BC) Impossible to summarise other than by saying he has influenced every aspect of Western culture and philosophy.

13) Left: Raphael himself, here portraying Apelles, a 4th century BC Greek painter and the most celebrated master of Antquity.

Right: Perhaps Il Sodoma (1477-1549) an Italian Renaissance painter, here portraying Protogenes, a contemporary of Apelles.

15) Zeno of Citium (334-262 BC) The founder of Stoic philosophy.

The Last Battle: Europa

To The Dead of November 9th

You dead heroes

Never were you nearer to us —,

Reminder, call, prayer —

As now when the Grim Reaper

Stands before us.

Never were you so necessary to us.

Towers in the storm of care.

Never were you as alive to us.

We are as acquainted with you as we are with death.

We listen for the call. And we hear

In the night, when all is silent

Your voices. They warn, they swear:

Not only victories! The victory!

As our flags sink

God goes as the wind through the field.

All our thanks and thoughts

Become deed.

The Dying Warrrior and The Fallen Comrades

 - IN MEMORIAM - 

1/11/2013

Georgios Fountoulis - Manolis Kapelonis

THE DYING WARRIOR

"The dying warrior on the east pediment (c. 480 BCE) marks a transition to the new Classical style. Although he bears a slight Archaic smile, this warrior actually reacts to his circumstances. Nearly every part of him appears to be dying. Instead of propping himself up on an arm, his body responds to the gravity pulling on his dying body, hanging from his shield and attempting to support himself with his other arm. He also attempts to hold himself up with his legs, but one leg has fallen over the pediment's edge and protrudes into the viewer's space. His muscles are contracted and limp, depending on which ones they are, and they seem to strain under the weight of the man as he dies."

Frazetta's Headless Horseman

 

The Headless Horseman

Few people know the reason as to why Frank Frazetta painted two versions of the Headless Horseman. In 1995, Frank was commissioned to do his rendition of the famed beheaded night rider during his period of semi-retirement. He was very selective with his choice of work at that point because, to be honest, he preferred enjoying life with his family on his beautiful 67 acre estate in the Pocono Mountains; but this character interested him, so he accepted the job.

As with all of Frazetta commissioned pieces after 1970, he was granted full liberty to create whatever he felt worked best with the subject matter. As with most cases, his masterful imagination took it one step beyond anyone's expectations, which is why he has such a world-wide following to date.

Frank's first rendition of the Headless Horseman was very dark and powerful, showing the more sinister side of the famed character. But unexpectedly, just a few days after submitting the original artwork, he received a phone call from the publisher who expressed his appreciation for Frank’s time and effort, but declined the work. He stated it was too dark for its use in publishing for the targeted audience of younger children. Frank didn’t take it to heart and understood where his client was coming from-- this was not an uncommon thing during his long career. Instead of getting upset about it, he immediately created a new version to appeal to the younger audience upon the publishers request.

Even with numerous stick-ball games between the finalization of the second version of the Headless Horseman, it was completed in just three days and was an entirely new take on the commissioned art. 

The second version was more colorful with a wide variety of delightful tones, most obvious was the change from blue to orange which expressed a more festive side to the seasonal theme. Though many fans bought prints of both versions of the painting, Frank personally stuck to his guns stating the first version was the better of the two.

The Howling of Wolves

 

4th of April, 1945

This is Radio Werwolf calling, radio of the German liberation movement in the areas occupied by the enemy. 

The high command of our enemies has imposed a curfew over the occupied areas. This curfew is not for us Werewolves. On familiar roads we come together, even in the dark.

For four years, our enemies came in the night to sow death from their murder machines over our homes, now their soldiers came to reap their sowings. Bt now we are going out in the night and sow the seeds of freedom, the sowing will sprout. We will harvest the crops in the dawn of the new days. A peaceful revolution brought us National Socialism, now a bloody war is about to take it from us. Now we Werewolves call upon all revolutionary hearts to take back the peace that the war took from us. We break the chains that bind us. Our thoughts are only about one thing, to destroy the enemy, beat him again and again, untill the invaders are driven out and the slaveholders are swept away. Our duty is to the Reich, our lives belong to our people. Where one freedom fighter dies, new ones arise. Traitors, cowards and people with no ethos will fall under our strokes. He who harms the German freedom is our enemy, he who benefits it, is our friend. For five and a half years, we fought for the Reich and our people, with the weapon in hand or at the factories. The enemy has knocked weapon and tools out of our hands in the occupied areas. But we wont stop fighting. All that we onwed, home and house, the terror bombers destroyed and set ablaze. The air murderers destroyed all we love, grandparents and parents, women and children, siblings and friends. But our heart didn't become weaker. Its love for its country has only became bigger and its hatred became stronger. Behind us are rubble and trenches. Before us lies the future, from which our enemies want to exclude us. But we are here. We fight, live and die for the German future.

Death to our enemies, victory to our freedom.

This is Radio Werwolf calling, radio of the German liberation movement in the areas occupied by the enemy. We brought you fight reports of our Werewolves, new and reports in our broadcast.

MYCENAE 2022 - The Birthplace of Hellas

"In the ruins of Mycenae is a fountain called Persea; there are also underground chambers of Atreus and his children, in which were stored their treasures. There is the grave of Atreus, along with the graves of such as returned with Agamemnon from Troy, and were murdered by Aegisthus after he had given them a banquet."
