A search for Spiritualism

[Ederico]

In this highly Materialistic world corrupted by Capitalism and Liberalism we are faced with a Spiritual void which the organised Religions cannot fulfill unless we are blinded by ignorance and follow strict faith. As such what does fulfill our Spirituality? Should we yearn for a new Spiritualism to restore our non-Material existance? What is the answer to this and how do we deal with it? Perhaps a new Racialistic form of Spiritualism must be created!

[Stríbog]

It's important not to confound the terms Spirituality, which refers to a general search for enlightenment, and Spiritualism, which refers to a specific movement in the 19th century which revolved around psychic phenomena and communicating with the dead. I believe that most Aryan spiritual traditions, from paganism to Deism to Platonism to Spiritualism, have some value in our search for spirituality. I am agnostic but I do not categorically denounce traditions involving God(s). I try to remain open-minded about phenomena which materialistic empiricism can not accept/explain.

[Ederico]

I made an error out of unknowing or ignorance on the matter. What I intended with Spiritualism was a rediscovery of our Spirituality and not the Spiritualistic Movement of the 19th. Century.

I found these definitions for Spiritualism :

• The belief that the dead communicate with the living, as through a medium. The practices or doctrines of those holding such a belief.
• A philosophy, doctrine, or religion emphasizing the spiritual aspect of being.

The second one, applies to my interpretation of Spiritualism.

[Stríbog]

Being a major figure in spiritualism meant being a prominent psychic medium. The most famous that I know of are D. D. Home, Edgar Cayce, and Leonora Piper. Cayce was probably the most remarkable. He was an America psychic who could diagnose the illnesses of patients and prescribe cures after going into a trance. He did not even have to be anywhere near the patient to do this. Doctors marvelled at his ability and he did save many lives. He was also known for his prophecies and theories about Atlantis, which perhaps can be tied in with the Theosophic theories about Atlantis. I advise all racialists to investigate Theosophy. It was a spiritual, Aryan, openly anti-Jew doctrine, discovered, created, or channeled, depending on your perspective, by Madame Helena Blavatsky, a Russian woman who emigrated to the United States around 1870 or so, I believe. It had a considerable influence on pre-NS Teutonic paganism/spirituality, such as the Thule Society, which also invoked Atlantean theories for the Aryan in some cases. I would recommend looking into Spiritualism, Theosophy and the Thule Society for all who are interested.

[Ederico]

I found this regarding Theosophy, is this the Theosophy you mention :

• Religious philosophy or speculation about the nature of the soul based on mystical insight into the nature of God.
• often Theosophy
  The system of beliefs and teachings of the Theosophical Society, founded in New York City in 1875, incorporating aspects of Buddhism and Brahmanism, especially the belief in reincarnation and spiritual evolution.

Is this the Theosophy you mention? I found these definitions at http://www.yourdictionary.com.

1.
A version of Theosophy called 'Ariosophy' [literally 'Aryan Wisdom'] should be even more interesting to us.

I read a good Theosophic interpretation of the Norse Eddas some years ago in a book called 'The Masks of Odin' [by E.Brichnell (?) - I no longer have the book].

2.
Looking at the essence of 'spirituality', I think of the following;

The word itself means to me something like 'Life-Force' [metaphorically 'breath'].
I take this in the widest sense as the Life-Force which pervades the known [and unknown] Universe.

One can have a sense of Awe about this Life-Force without adhering to any 'spiritual system'; however, I believe that we always need to focus our Being if we are to make anything of such things, lest they remain mere 'vague feelings'.

For my own part, I think that Symbols are the best means to focus and pin-point what are vast conceptions. An obvious example of this is the Swastika, which in just a few lines, carries a whole world of meaning.

Such symbols should link the spiritual with the political struggle.
I think it to be somewhat stunted to just use a few of these symbols such as the Swastika, without exploring them as an organic whole.

The Runes provide such an organic symbology.

3.
The Runes are usually seen as purely Teutonic, however the evidence points to their origination in the ancient Estruscan alphabet.

The sense of 'spirit' is exemplified in the 'Mannaz' or 'Man' Rune, sometimes called the Life-Rune.
It can be seen as a concise graphic of Aryan Man standing erect and holding his arms aloft as he embraces the Universe.

As each Rune is looked at in-turn, and coherence sought between them as an organic system, we arrive at a way of focusing our spiritual yearning via a symbolism which implies the whole range of Aryan philosophy.
As well as personal meditation, the runes should be used in image-making to symbolise the cause.

I see this as a start.

[Ederico]

Ariosophy sounds highly interesting and fascinating, we should divulge further information on it, especially here at Aryan Dawn.

The use of Symbolism is highly encouraging and invigorating for followers of an Ideal, and it really becomes Organic with the Blood and Folk. The Swastika springs to mind as an Organic Symbol. Every Revolutionary Movement requires its Symbols, the Swastika has been used already and it has been highly vilified by the Anti-Nationalistic and Anti-Racialistic forces of the Liberal and Leftist Corrupted European Societies. We require new Symbolism, something Youthful but Ancient, Noble but of the Masses, Aggressive yet Harmonious, we need a symbol that symobolises inner and outer balance of opposition. The Swastika is such a symbol but it is not applicable in a Political Context.

[Moody]

The plight of the Swastika symbolises our political/spiritual paralysis. It is as if the Cross were banned, that sacred symbol for Christians, or the Star and Crescent of Muslims were banned, or the Jews' Star of David ...

What an intolerable state of affairs when our symbol cannot be openly invoked!

That is a form of castration ... or is it circumcision?

Also, many of the Runic symbols have been usurped by the Left; the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament use the Life Rune inverted, while in Britain, the liberal democratic Scottish National Party use the Othal Rune - the Rune of Homeland, as their symbol.

Indeed, the cusomary AIDS ribbon is twisted in the shape of this Rune, which in various colours is used to symbolise a slew of liberal causes.

What a disgusting state of affairs!

Our Runic symbolism is banned for ourselves and yet used and abused by the enemy!

Until we can use the Swastika and the Runes with a 'good conscience', we are ham-strung.

That's how important symbolism is - and that's, as I said, just for a start.

[Rahul]

No doubt that we are hated and our symbols are soon going to be replaced or turned upside down. But only if we can come up with a discreet manner in which we can present our expressions and hit the nail on its head, we can and we shall!

I think of a completely honest way of approaching this.
But we have to be discreet as well.
When someone is seen as a 'racist' and victmised, it actually becomes quite impossible for such a person to maintain his/her mind's calm in the face of everything whcih means basically nothing yet it is an attack to undermine and vilify one's self.

We have to revert to nature thus. And that is where we draw our strength from. Our entire world conception and universe conceptions/cosmologies-cosmogonies are as truthful. We have respect for one and all. But most of all, we have respect for difference.

In another thread, Moody Lawless talked of the anti-racial attitude of the jewish/zionist boobmakers, but only when it comes to other races.

We have to counter that or destroy that without ever talking directly of it.

We need to get one step ahead of this kind of slander.

That calls for some confidential meeting a discussion group.

I feel we are close to giving a shape to the expression for religion.

Remember that the true meaning of the word religion is and should be seen in Aryan context only.

Will continue.

The Mannaz Rune represented in this website seems different from what you are referring to. You seem to be referring to the Algiz Rune the way you describe it.

Mannaz Rune

(M: Man, mankind.) The Self; the individual or the human race. Your attitude toward others and their attitudes towards you. Friends and enemies, social order. Intelligence, forethought, create, skill, ability. Divine structure, intelligence, awareness. Expect to receive some sort of aid or cooperation now. Mannaz Reversed or Merkstave: Depression, mortality, blindness, self-delusion. Cunning, slyness, manipulation, craftiness, calculation. Expect no help now.

Algiz Rune

(Z or -R: Elk, protection.) Protection, a shield. The protective urge to shelter oneself or others. Defense, warding off of evil, shield, guardian. Connection with the gods, awakening, higher life. It can be used to channel energies appropriately. Follow your instincts. Keep hold of success or maintain a position won or earned. Algiz Reversed: or Merkstave: Hidden danger, consumption by divine forces, loss of divine link. Taboo, warning, turning away, that which repels.

Is there some misunderstanding here?
