ariyaBuddhism
refers to
an effective path of liberation from the human condition
using spiritual concentration and intellectual catharsis
following the earliest teachings of
a true prince of the ariya
from some two and a half millennia ago
siddhattha gotama
the buddha
(the awakened one)

in a darkening age
siddhatta gotama
the buddha
opened a path of liberation for the ariya
in the dark age
julius evola
the great magus & master of the ariya
re-opened that path
now you
ariya!
if this life feels too little for you
forget all words and go this incommensurably dangerous but divinely rewarding path
- start here

the man who was later known as the awakened one
that is
the buddha
was the prince siddhattha
according to some
he was the son of a king
according to others
at least of the most ancient warrior nobility of the sakiya race
proverbial for its pride
there was a saying
proud as a sakiya
this race claimed descent from the so-called solar race
and from the very ancient king iksvaku
in fact
the same royal and solar origin
is attributed to the doctrine expounded in the bhagavadgita
a doctrine that was revealed after a period of oblivion to a ksatriya
that is
to an exponent of warrior nobility
and that shows us how the path of detachment
can also produce an unconditioned and irresistible form of heroism
the buddha said
I have seen the ancient path
the path trodden by all the perfected awakened ones of olden times
this is the path I follow

the path shown by the Buddha is only suited to a very small minority
gifted with exceptional interior strength
as someone has rightly said
it is no milk for babies
nor does it provide metaphysical feasts for lovers of intellectual speculation
for him who goes this path spirituality has become an aim
the object of a reconquest
the final limit of a reintegration to be carried out by one’s own virile efforts

the gift of dharma
(the law
or way)
this way
revealed and actualized by such eminent beings as the buddha
will always remain the principle of vaivagya and of udvega
the disgust and inner turmoil that tear away the "noble ones" from mere living
arousing in them the sensation and the nostalgia for a truer
freer
more powerful reality

...what arises in some people is the sensation that earthly life is something to which
prior to our becoming terrestrial beings
we have committed ourselves
both as an adventure and as a mission or a chosen task
undertaking a whole set of problematic and tragic elements as well

the classic ideal is different from the condition of natural man
as yet unawakened to any truly supra-natural calling
the spirit is so dominant that under certain favorable spiritual conditions
it molds body and soul to its own image
& thereby achieves a perfect harmony between the inner & the outer
one must place oneself at that level where didactic confusion cannot reach
& where all dilettantism
& arbitrary intellectual activity are excluded
where one resists energetically
every influence from confused
passionate desires
& from agressive pleasure in polemics
where
finally & fundamentally
nothing counts but
the precise
strict
objective knowledge
of the spirit
of the primordial tradition

the only qualitative standard
is the degree of more or less perfect realization of the nature proper to a person
there can be no doubt that
a woman who is perfectly a woman is superior
to a man who is imperfectly a man
just
as a farmer who is faithful to his land and
performs his work perfectly is superior
to a king who cannot do his own work

civilization breaks down into epochs and disconnected cycles
at a given moment and within a given race
a specific conception of the world and of life is affirmed
from which follows a specific system of truths
principles
understandings
and realizations
a civilization springs up
gradually reaches a culminating point
and then falls into darkness and
more often than not
disappears
a cycle has ended
perhaps another will rise again some day
somewhere else
perhaps it may even take up the concerns of preceding civilizations
but any connection between them will be strictly analogical
the transition from one cycle of civilization to another
- one completely alien to the other -
implies a jump
which in mathematics is called a discontinuity

I am
yesterday
today
and tomorrow
and the power of rebirth
I know the abyss
