THE SYMBOLIC ENSLAVEMENT OF LADY LIBERTY



As Ezra Pound famously said, "A slave is one who waits for someone to come and free him." In this sense Blacks in America, are at a fundamental and esoteric level "still in a state of slavery." 

All their attempts at freeing themselves failed, and they had to wait for the White Man from the North to defeat the White Man in the South to free them. At a true spiritual level, as intuited by the Rastafarians, true freedom for the Black man lies in escaping from America back to Africa, or by recreating a pure Africa in part of America. It does not include the devil's bargain of subscribing to a White-dominated "multicultural" society in which he will always feel displaced and spiritually rootless.

MERCURY RISING: THE LIFE & WRITINGS OF JULIUS EVOLA


The Life & Writings of Julius Evola


If the industrious man, through taking action,
Does not succeed, he should not be blamed for that –
He still perceives the truth.

                        The Sauptikaparvan of the Mahābhārata (2,16)

If we could select a single aspect by which to define Julius Evola, it would have been his desire to transcend the ordinary and the world of the profane. It was characterized by a thirst for the Absolute, which the Germans call mehr als leben – “more than living.” This idea of transcending worldly existence colours not only his ideas and philosophy, it is also evident throughout his life which reads like a litany of successes. During the earlier years Evola excelled at whatever he chose to apply himself to: his talents were evident in the field of literature, for which he would be best remembered, and also in the arts and occult circles.
