    Default Julius Evola's Revolt Against the Modern World - Initiation and Consecration

    In this episode in our series on Julius Evola 's "Revolt Against the Modern World", we cover Chapter 10: Initiation and Consecration. Initiation was a fundamental aspect of the World of Tradition, but is now a rather mysterious topic. This episode breaks down what initiation is, its significance, why it was necessary, and how it came to be replaced by consecration.

    If you are not quite caught up on the series, that's ok, but we highly recommend having watched episodes 4, 6, 8, and 9 first for a better understanding.

    Thanks for the link.
    I started reading this book, but it was sometimes too demanding for me, but I stay tuned. Could you explain the main expression from Revolt against the modern world except of course the obvious one.

    I haven't read the book yet, but I watched several podcasts on specific chapters. the book exposes his aristocratic views where nobility is something inherent to the souls of specific individuals.
    In a similar line with the Hindu cast system, and to some extend Plato`s republic; society should be ruled by those who are both naturally and spiritually gifted: namely the aristocrats of the soul, philosopher-kings, brahmins "not only in flesh but also in spirit", etc.

    These people are more naturally connected with the metaphysical realm, "the world of the forms", they have access to real ontological truth and the natural order of the universe, Dharma, etc, therefore the societies they would build will be based in the real, ontologic cosmic order, rather than the human constructions of modern ideologies that change constantly to fit the sensibility of the current era.

    He contrasts liberal democracies with absolute monarchies, the first political system is ruled by an economic elite that aspires at vacues aims, economic growth, social confort thru consumerism, an order created by the bourgeois to fulfill their own economical enterprise.

    Only the perennial values of the political rule led by Tradition, understand in a metaphysical way, can lead to the spiritual flourishment of society, by moving the aspiration of the society to transcendental aims rather than materialistic ones.

    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

    Evola described the features of his idealized traditional society in which religious and temporal power were created and united not by priests, but by warriors expressing spiritual power. In mythology, he saw evidence of the West's superiority over the East. Moreover, he claimed that the traditional elite had the ability to access power and knowledge through a hierarchical magic which differed from the lower "superstitious and fraudulent" forms of magic.[8][page needed] Evola insists that only "nonmodern forms, institutions, and knowledge" could produce a "real renewal ... in those who are still capable of receiving it."

    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Anamnesis (philosophy)

    In philosophy, anamnesis (/ˌænæmˈniːsɪs/; Ancient Greek: ἀνάμνησις) is a concept in Plato's epistemological and psychological theory that he develops in his dialogues Meno and Phaedo and alludes to in his Phaedrus.
    The idea is that humans possess innate knowledge (perhaps acquired before birth) and that learning consists of rediscovering that knowledge from within.
    Terms that have been used to characterize this concept include Doctrine of Recollection and Doctrine of Reminiscence.
