PhilosophiCat's video: Revolt Against the Modern World - Episode 4: Polar Symbolism the Lord of Peace and Justice

In this episode in our series on Julius Evola 's "Revolt Against the Modern World", we cover Chapter 3: Polar Symbolism; the Lord of Peace and Justice. This chapter expands upon the ideas in the previous chapter, this time exploring the polar nature of the king and how the concepts of justice and peace are an integral part of kingship. See below for supplemental links and info. Please like and share this video to help spread Tradition far and wide, for in the Golden Age, these perennial ideas were known by all and even taken for granted. It is only in the Dark Age that they fall into obscurity. Let us rebuild these ancient pathways, that we may find our way back to the light. We also welcome any user-contributed foreign language translations. Those interested in the etymological origins of the word for king as referenced in this video may find this article useful: https://starkeycomics.com/2019/04/23/dizzying-doublets/ For a further discussion on what it means to be a leader in the modern age, I highly recommend this video: https://youtu.be/Y4daX2lhghA Recommended reading: "Arktos: The Polar Myth" by Joscelyn Godwin: http://www.balderexlibris.com/index.php?post/Godwin-Joscelyn-Arktos-The-Polar-Myth If you are seriously interested in undertaking a meditation practice and developing your ascetic side, I recommend that you consider a 10-day Vipassana retreat, which is free and available in many countries all over the world. Visit https://www.dhamma.org to find your closest centre. While this is Buddhist meditation, it is secular and appropriate regardless of your spiritual beliefs and the course is taught exactly the same way all around the world. Something that was not mentioned in the video, but perhaps should have been is the Greco-Roman god, Apollo. I include a link which touches on his solar nature and his connection to justice and peace, and I trust that those who have watched these videos thus far will easily be able to make the connection between Evola's ideas of divine kingship and what Apollo represents.
