Why the pacific route? | July 16, 2025

I am a profoundly pacific person; I do not endorse active and violent resistance unless pressed to do so under very specific circumstances. Verily, I am as close to an absolute pacifist as any man can come without being one. My rejection of violence comes primarily from my embrace of skillful means, which means that I do not endorse the dense and ignorant ways of the low beast in order to fend him off, for I know that I must remain well rounded in a world that is closing in on me and acting out violence would be to allow the beast to win, both spiritually and materially. There is no real fight against the beast, for the beast is not a real warrior—he is the opposite of the warrior, the modern solider archetype, man in his most degraded and terminally ill form—and any rate the fight for the celestial order cannot be won with material means, instead the victory shall come in the transcendental arena and first at the close of this era, the Kali Yuga, shall victory come when the moral law descends down to the Earth to cast out the beast from the land. To engage in a violent struggle against the beast is to surrender to the beast, for that fight cannot be won be men alone, for the spiritual battle has to be won, that is the only way to salvation and victory. Modern man has created armies of enormous numbers, mobilized with the intention of ultimate destruction of every sacred quality and aspect of the human condition: at every level, at every step, in every inch, and in every breath, the beastly horde exists to impose the material victory over man; and to try to oppose that would not only be completely foolish, it would indeed be immoral, for that would be the opposite of heroism, to sacrifice not for the preservation of the celestial order, but for the victory of the beast. It is paramount to learn about the beast, to know his ways, and to recognize his weaknesses, and it is a fact that the beast is stronger in all the material ways he can boast about, and therefore it would be quite unproductive to even attempt to oppose him, for this would surely give nothing but the victory to the beast.

    I also oppose violence because I regard myself to be above violence, for the modern soldier archetype requires man to sacrifice all his will and all his power: indeed it requires man to completely lose control over his destiny, his will power, and his ability to gain skillful means – it is the definition of transforming into the beast. Modern warriors do not exist on the surface, for they have all entered the underground and these true warriors, fewer and fewer in numbers, walk all among us in the form of the every day man, the mass man. When in the past few men would sacrifice themselves for the righteous cause, today the warrior culture no longer exist for it has been democratized in the name of egalitarianism and in turn the warrior is nowhere to be found, for no man of true noble rank would defend the material order; the so-called "freedom" of the modern world is no such thing and any man in his right mind would surely see this for what it is, the embrace of sin and lust. Would I ever allow myself to become the loyal dog for the material order? If I do I have allowed myself to transform into the beast and I may very well be lost to the beastly horde. Modern warfare reflects the supposedly "humanitarian" and "all loving" liberal world order for what it is: the sacred nature of life has been reduced to the game of numbers,  the game of greater and ever greater quantities because the revolutionary elite is never happy; more and more has to be produced and more and more power has to be concentrated in fewer and fewer hands.

    If you value human life and oppose with conviction and manly firmness the genocidal, and the socially and the culturally upending imperialism of the humanist axiom, then you should in good conscience also embrace the pacific route – the ways of the nobleman without a realm to govern. Verily, this does not mean that there are not legitimate circumstance under which I would endorse the use of violence: for instance I would endorse violence to protect against the state in the event that the state should be weakened enough to the point that it is unable to uphold its laws and injunctions; and I would also endorse violence for the preservation of the celestial order as long as that violence adheres to the special and parochial tenants of the society and culture they are practiced in and I would never criticize them, for they stand in good stature with the celestial order and have been shaped by deep time. Again I would never endorse breaking any laws in the material domain, for that fight cannot be won, at least not until the end times, before the dawn of the new era. To be a pacifist is also to walk in open rebellion against the established order of the material, for every man is expected to accept his duty as the soldier ready to die for the state, this is his price for being a member of the material collective, for having the mark of the citizen.

    To close this post out I would like to further underscore the sacred value in choosing the pacific route: it will bring calmness into your life if you reject violence and warfare and instead embrace waging peace, for you will never win against the beast, and by waging peace you will win in the spiritual arena; but do not embrace the pacific route at the expense of your spiritual qualities, if it is necessary to defend against intrusion and contamination I think you are right in operating with wrathful means. Always remember to uphold the celestial order within you, and remain pure by embracing the practice of celibacy – become the hero.
