My views on the nature of masculinity – June 21, 2025
Masculinity is the force in perpetual motion, seeking the source and putting the celestial scales into balance and thus bringing light onto the Earth in the form of the ascendant law above man. Masculinity seeks the source in the material, but only the feminine can bring out the source in the material, for at every part in the fabric of society the source makes itself manifest in the feminine form. Masculinity works towards the celestial order, because masculinity is a force shaped by nature and hardened by the material impositions adverse to the human condition apparent in nature, and this drives men towards greater lengths, always with the earnest intention to keep the balance of the celestial scales and improve the material circumstances for himself and his prodigy by keeping that balance. The material domain is the masculine realm, but only insofar as it is the necessary medium between the transcendent and man himself—it is within the material that man proves his true rank and this is the fundamental essence of masculinity; it requires perpetual motion. Masculinity is the quality that always works towards the transcendent and seeks the good in nature and in the material, because there is always something good to be said about the material in working towards his own betterment, but masculinity is also the quality that enables man to reject the material in what makes man the only being capable of entering the material plane – indeed in making man fundamentally man. The essence of the nobleman is masculinity in and of itself, as he makes himself apparent in the world and nothing more has to be said about the nobleman – for he has sought the light and earned his rank.
Modern man on the other hand has completely fallen in love with himself and not only accepted that the scales of the celestial order are not in balance, but that there is no need for the moral order in the first place, other than his own moral order, driven by his own beastly instincts – idolatry for the sake of more materialism. For modern man, materialism is itself the pursuit worthy of his entire life, not the pursuit to seek the transcendent in the creation and to become one with the all. Modern man in not the warrior for the good in the world, and for the preservation of that which is already good, quality, because modern man has transformed into the beast, and his only goal—what he regards as his highest achievement—is the willing chaos, the state of chronic decline and slow death, of the modern world – the pursuit of the final and ultimate liberation from all adverse material impositions.
