The Primordial Body |
Friday – February 13, 2026

In all the sincere and true traditions of the world—that is to say, traditions that are derived from the great primordial unity—the notions of quality and quantity are central in the conception of the metaphysical order of things. That is to say: the notion of a pure substance where the essence of all possibility (manifestation) is situated atop the natural order of things (sacred hierarchies); and where essence is substance manifested at the various planes of the creation, particularly within the temporal domain. This primordial body, or unity as we shall soon see, can be understood from various metaphysical point of views, but they all converge around the ontological delineation between something that is of pure possibility—in Buddhist tradition the pure substance of the Buddha, Dharmakāya (धर्म काय), or the unmanifested, Acintya (अचिन्त्य), aspect of the Buddha, and in Hindu tradition the Prakṛti (प्रकृति), both of which having a similar, though not equivalent, correspondence to pure substance—and the manifestation in the temporal domain of such possibility in an essential way, which renders the object described by this substance as essentially or qualitatively that which is expressed, or manifested, in the temporal domain as either the unity or a member of a unity, which means that while matter, in the sense of physics, may be subdivided, the entirety of the essence described by substance remain wholly unimpressed by matters of temporal magnitude in each individual element or participant in some unity; this is the case with gender, a topic that I recently covered here and here. This concept can also be understood from an esoteric point of view as the difference between numbers describing some quality and numbers describing some quantity: the essence of each unity or each participant in some unity may not diminish and cannot be manipulated in the usual way of the algebra that describes quantitative numbers. Really, here the difference of intuition as the highest and purest form of intellectualism and reason as the lowest and most impure form of intellectualism is quite corollary as well, though not equivalent. This correlation can also be noticed on a yet more subtle level between the great primordial civilization of Hyperborea and the social chaos of the modern world, but again this is merely a correlation. Of course, there are many such correlations and I could go on forever, but the essential and intellectual correlation between sacred and profane sciences should perhaps be enough to describe the polarity of the manifested world in a somewhat satisfactory manner.

    Verily, to understand the temporal domain, it is necessary to conceive of the underlying and hidden world of true knowledge, which again for the purposes of this text can be thought of as correlating with skillful means (बोधिचित्त) in the Buddhist tradition, something that is completely missing in modern civilization, and something that most scholars agree was completely lost quite recently. Indeed, to mention such things as sacred sciences would evoke confusion and ridicule in the minds of most modern men, for alchemy and astrology are merely "mysticism" to the unknowing and negating audience of this democratic, so monstrously referred to, tradition, who pride themselves on ignorance of that great substance at the furthest limit of the manifested world, and since nothing that may not be know immediately cannot be, thus this democratic mass inventively converges towards the lowest and least capable, really the most common denominator to use a quantitative term, which is again is that of pure ignorance. Pure ignorance indeed, and this is why all qualities, all aspects as manifested in the temporal world, must be destroyed, so that the great lie and illusion of the virtual concept of egalitarianism, which correlates with the reign of quantity, may be established and so that the process of division and multiplication of matter can eventually enable the final solution to the human condition. This process of metaphysical corruption, really a deviation as the scholars put it, can be seen anywhere and everywhere in the modern world, thus this chaos and confusion without form.

    Yes, to modern men concepts such as feminism and "equality" seem perfectly natural, which is the main claim of the humanist axiom, and any suggestion that hierarchies such as the Hindu caste system or "gender"—as the moderns prefer to refer to the qualitative aspects of masculinity and femininity as expressed in the world—is tantamount to heresy and treason, heresy and treason against the virtual reality that is the modern world; this is particularly the case under the rule of nation-states, where compulsory education, or political instruction, reinforce the ideas of the humanist axiom. Of course, the main proposition of the humanist axiom would be considered completely preposterous in any traditional society, and indeed within such a society this absurdity would be shown to be the true monstrosity that it is, the negation of the primordial body and the natural and normal place, really the harmonious place, within the societal organization that each man belongs to; of course, sacred hierarchies may not be understood by people who do not possess true wisdom, which is the primary disorder in the Western world, something that still cannot be said about the Oriental world.

    Finally, to lose sight, knowledge, of this great substance that is expressed at every moment and in every particle of the creation is to embrace blindness, blindness of the sacred and the spiritual aspects of true intellectualism, but this modern misapprehension of the "third eye" is also to be expected and present conditions make it clear that we are living through the final and terminal phase of the Kali Yuga, and this means that the disordered nature of the world will only keep approaching pure chaos – mental illness.
