Julius Evola's Revolt Against the Modern World - Episode 13: Universality and Centralism
In this episode in our series on Julius Evola 's "Revolt Against the Modern World", we cover Chapter 12: Universality and Centralism. In the last episode, we explored the proper relationship between priesthood and regality and the synthesis between temporal power and spiritual authority that produces a sacred regality. In this episode, we look at the importance of the spiritual centre that the sacred king provides to the empire, how it provides a reference point for a unity of peoples, and what happens when that spiritual centre doesn't exist anymore. Spoiler alert: you get a lot of attempts at empire that are really just about domination and subjugation, that attempt to force an artificial unity through the erasure of unique cultures and heritages, and that are ultimately doomed to fail.
Useful terms to know:
Sacred Centre: This is a term we use a LOT in this series and it is now becoming especially important you understand what it means. The centre (the centrality to which the title refers) is that of the axle of a wheel (see episode 4 for more on this). This is the stable point at the centre of something rotating. The sacred king or emperor represents this stability, and so the loss of the centre has the effect that you might imagine if the wheel axle broke- things go spinning wildly out of control. This idea of the centre is a fundamental concept in a Traditionalist worldview.

Lyrics to the closing song:
REMEMBER YOUR NAME
Rome is still burning
no guards to be found
Driven before them
No longer the proud
Darkness has fallen
But Nero he sleeps
There are only downtrodden
No sweet comfortable peace
Nothing can stop them
No fence can hold
These gates are so ancient
We even forgot how they close
Stolen the light of the world
Will offer to see
Offer the light of the world
To those that can see
Offer the light of the world
To those that can still see
Remember your name
Remember who you were born to be
Remember your duty my son
Here before the judgement of history
Remember your place
In the space where the Heavenly Father dwells
In the palace of golden light
Take solace on this endless night
This is your time, This is the moment
There can be no compromise
There can be no denouement
This is your time, this is the moment
When everything is put to the test
Every falsehood must be put to rest
Remember your name
Remember who you were born to be
Remember your duty my son
Here before the judgement of history
Avenge me my sons
Here before the judgement of history
Rise up my sons
Here before the judgement of history
Arya rise
Arya rise
Arya rise

Toxic Femininity: Subversion of the Masculine Principle
What happens when Demeter and Aphrodite "go bad"? We'll look at two ways in which each of these archetypes, when degenerated, end up subverting the solar principle they are meant to serve, as well as what men and women can do in the face of the mounting decay of the Kali Yuga.
It's probably helpful if you have watched Traditional Woman's Path to Heroism first: https://youtu.be/2LTr-MGrvm0

Revolt Against the Modern World - Episode 12: On The Hierarchical Relationship Between...
In this episode in our series on Julius Evola 's "Revolt Against the Modern World", we cover Chapter 11: On the Hierarchical Relationship Between Royalty and Priesthood. Don't let the dry sounding title fool you! This episode builds on the concepts of kingship and initiation that we've explored in previous episodes and tackles a question that has long set Evola at odds with other Traditionalist thinkers, especially Rene Guenon.
For additional reading, you may like to explore:
Rene Guenon's "Spiritual Authority and Temporal Power"
Rene Guenon's "Symbols of Sacred Science"
Julius Evola's "Introduction to Magic, vol 3"
Useful terms to know:
brahmana: a member of the priestly caste
kshatriya: a member of the warrior caste
Brahman: Hindu term for the supreme godhead, the ultimate reality of the universe
Special thanks to John Morgan for several discussions on this subject and to Dharma-Pravartaka for clarification on the Upanishads verse regarding the Rajasuya sacrifice.

Lyrics to the closing song:
In the beginning
There was indeed Brahman
Oneness in all creation
Projecting the cosmos vast
Split into many castes
Reflects his glorious light
Raised up through magic rite
Possessed of sacred sight
Wielding a temporal might
To become transcendent
A mandate from heaven
To bring the law from above
The boar and the bear
Oh fire and air
The priest or the knight
Who will guide us to the light?
Oh how we all
Long for the light
Oh how we all
Long for the light
In old Hyperborea
The sword of the warrior
Invoking primordial heights
United with priestly caste
Domain of sacred tasks
Relying on eternal sight
The regal authority
Serving the cosmic cause
Infused with pulsing of life
An order of balance
The soul of the phalanx
That fights for the fire in the night
The boar and the bear
Oh fire and air
The priest or the knight
Who will guide us to the light?
Oh how we all
Long for the light
Oh how we all
Long for the light
Regality, apex of light
Oh, victorious
King of solar might
Come bow before
The lord of peace
Take us to heaven, my King

A Conversation with a Skeptic: Traditionalism, Evola, and Other Fascinating Things
In this video, I speak with Ed Dutton, a skeptic of all things spiritual and metaphysical, on his channel, the Jolly Heretic, for what was an all-around entertaining show, despite us speaking radically different "languages". Because this show was quite popular and it is no longer available on Ed's channel, I am uploading here sooner than I normally would.
It is very rare that a skeptic wishes to speak with me about these ideas and Ed certainly did his best to take me to task intellectually. It was a fun challenge, but I certainly have room for improvement, so I invite viewer feedback on what you think I could have done better to convey these ideas to someone with a radically different belief system.
