For something that claims to be a response it barely dealt with the European New Right at all. And what little there was mostly focussed on Dugin. The vast majority of this book is basically a Shia version of the kind of apologetics one can find in Jack Chick tracks. And about as just as convincing to those not already believing in it.

Rereading a favourite: Interior Freedom by Fr. Jacques Phillipe.
It's not always possible to control external events. There are so many things that are outside our control: the past, what others think of us, chronic health issues, other peoples' actions, the weather, unforeseen events. This list goes on and on. It is possible, though, to gain more control over our interior life.
In his book "Interior Freedom" Fr. Jacques Phillipe shows us that we possess, each of us, inside of us a space of freedom that no-one can take away. Despite the most unfavorable outward circumstances, we can claim our freedom because God is its source and its guarantee. Without this, we will always be in search for something else to fulfill us, and we will never understand true happiness.
Fr. Philippe lays out a simple but important theme: "We gain possession of our interior freedom in proportion to our growth in faith, hope, and love." He explains that the dynamism between these three theological virtues is the heart of our spiritual life, and he underscores the key role of the virtue of hope in our spiritual growth.
Written in a simple and inviting style, Interior Freedom seeks to liberate the heart and mind to live the true freedom to which God calls each of us.
Let us not desire delights, daughters; we are well-off here; the bad inn lasts for only a night.
-St. Teresa of Avila

Einer von 10.000? Erklärt meine Eigenartigkeit und Wirkung auf Umgebung/Mensch. Kinder (vom Nachbarn) denen ich beim Gang hier und dort hin begegne sind in meiner nähe (wenn sich die Bicke kreuzen) ruhig und schauen mich erwartungsvoll an. Ich hab mir nie was draus gemacht.
One in 10,000? Explains my strangeness and effect on environment / person. Children (from the neighbors) whom I meet here and there in the corridor are quiet near me and look at me expectantly. I never made any sense of it.

Jetzt könnte man glatt die Theorie aufstellen, dass Augen mehr als Sehorgan sind.
Now one could easily put forward the theory that eyes are more than organs of vision.

Scheiße. Ich bin Verrückt.
Oder als dem, angesehen.
Haha!
The last book I read was a biography on Reinhard Heydrich last year.
I need to find a good book.

Currently reading "Human, All Too Human" of Nietzsche.
A collection of essays, most of whom I have already read online. However I do appreciate them being together in a hard copy format, in case they disappear from the Net.
