Further thoughts about Christmas |
Thursday – December 25, 2025

As I stated in my post from the other day: I do not celebrate Christmas but I am open to the idea of celebrating other holidays that are grounded in sacred traditions, such as the Norse pagan tradition of Yule. This is again because I view Christmas as a materialist holiday void of any really sacred truths, and even more sinister I believe that Christmas which I regard as a European cultural confluence has been hijacked by the revolutionary elite. I did however just want to again clarify that I do not regard the wish or intention to celebrate as immoral or wrong; I do regard the object of celebration to be immoral and degenerate, in this case material pursuits that are completely empty of sacred truths. I do encourage people to celebrate sacred truths and this could be carried out by celebrating such things as Yule or celebrating other holidays. I do believe that there are many major metaphysical traditions such as Hinduism that are very rich in sacred holidays, but this extends to other metaphysical traditions such as Judaism as well. Indeed, Christendom isn't completely empty of holidays but since Christianity has been so secularized it's hard to find any really pure Christian celebration that is grounded and anchored in sacred Christian insight. Indeed, celebrating the Sabbath would in most western contexts be considered something only very reactionary and fundamentalist people do, and this also puts a further pressure on Christians to further secularize, and of course multiculturalism also plays a role in the dilution of Christian cultural heritage. What about Santa Claus, what am I supposed to say about him? Well, Santa does have a history but I regard this history again as confused which is typical of the entire occasion that is Christmas, and really in modern times Santa is also a product of the materialist order much more than anything else. Yes, Christmas and many other holidays that trace their roots back to something primordial do still consist of certain elements that can be said to be sacred, but again these elements always revert away from ascendancy faster than anything else they may do, which actually means that they serve a different purpose that is counter to tradition and sacred continuity. But yes, many people celebrate Christmas and many of these people do believe that there is something essentially insightful about this occasion, and this is true, but I do believe these people should ask themselves why they wait until the last days of the year to consider these insights? Again, because they don't have time, something you may read about here. Time is always running out and you need to keep pursuing the next material need. Another thing that comes to mind on this occasion is how materialism tends to multiply: once you've gained a certain material standing, a certain material comfort in life it often becomes increasingly hard to resist the urge to keep pursuing greater and greater material circumstances, until your time has run out. Of course, modern men treat time in a very peculiar manner, almost as if they can outrun the phase of time, or at least it seems that most modern men realize the futility of this rather late in life or never. What about the children? Yes, the children—as I stated the other day—tend to learn to view their parents as walking ATM-machines, and that's perfectly natural. If you teach a child that the only things that matter in life are material pursuits, why should they not become addicted? But yes, I don't want to be rude, I understand that there are important aspects of Christmas that do bring people together and that I am the first to celebrate, but I still despair about materialism: that materialism is the reason why people are brought together, something that I have briefly covered in the past. The idea of people living in completely separate and almost parallel realities yet so close to each other is a very new and remarkable development that again has to do with individualism, something you may read about in my "Collectivism & Individualism series".

    If people could be brought together around sacred insights and values anchored in primordial wisdom, then there would be cause to celebrate, but this all should be taken as a sign of our times, the Kali Yuga. Indeed, the commotion of the modern world can be and is rather unsettling, but I do not fear; at the close of the Kali Yuga the men of ascendant rank will rise and overthrow the materialist order and these men will see the light and walk with purpose towards the era of rebirth.

    I also do not want to be negative because I see no reason to be negative and if you are a man of ascendant rank then I think you should look with realistic foresight into the future, not with despair; despair is not the right outlook, and indeed these things do change and they do serve a purpose.
