Philosophical universe: Part 1

French “village cartoonist” Crumb was invited by Liberation and submitted this, which actually covers his ass as it isn’t a “representation of the Prophet”. That’s class.

If I may speak in religious terms for the nonce: he game of insulting the Prophet is old and in the way. Where in the Koran is there a para on the merits of totalitarian psychos? Both the Islamic and the Catholic worlds (restricting the argument to Rome for the present – maybe including American orthodox sects), have a vested interest in repelling the false prophets of militant unIslamic ideologies, who want a phony Crusader conflict. Actually, the best way to do this is to be pro-Islamic in the sense of recognizing the good prophets speaking through the words of Koran orthodoxy.

This in itself implies that we agree with orthodox Muslims on at least one thing, namely that there is a universe which can be recognized through religion, a philosophical universe. Any philosophical universe aims to explain the self, or at least has the self as its starting point. That is what a prophet is; self and universe correspond in terms of ethical principles.

Morgoth mentions the principle of “connecting the dots” and the most explosive way of doing that is to change the universe in which you live. In order to recognize Koran orthodoxy for what it is, the Right would also need to recognize Jerusalem as a historical landmark and Rome as a type of successor, albeit a fantastically ornate and hierarchical one!

In order, in other words, to repel false prophets, we have to belong to a true religion. A true religion is a hierarchy, because it is a form of natural energy in the same way the self is. Utterly spontaneous and the complete counter to the organized energy of modernism.

Hierarchy enables spontaneity in that each level has complete internal autonomy (as with the microphage example). That is the only way it works. If you were to somehow impose organization it would all fall apart, becoming cancerous and homogeneous.

A church follows the same principles as a family-tree; cardinals, archbishops or lay priests are completely self-sufficient entities. The fact they are caught-up in doctrine and ritual is a measure of the selfhood of the universe they exist in. Without the selfhood it would not be a universe. Being and harmony; the same in principle that Bruce Lee applies to kung fu. Without being we are but cogs in a multiverse of maze-like organization. This organization is not only of the state, obviously, but of the global monetary system.

The point I would make here is that insiders – of whatever creed – only belong to this system. Outsiders of whatever creed are outside the system. At this point in time, and for some time, the Right is railing against organized powers that comprise globalism. Some would say let’s organize – in this or that way, racially, nationally. Conversely, why be organized? Why not creativity?

Let me put it this way. Aristocracy is not organized in that sense at all; it’s simply a colony of family-lineages that values inheritance as a sort of God-given right. Barring revolution, that right is enshrined in law. So, it’s a natural system. Aristos are the landowning class, and are therefore physically and morally joined to the nation of which they form the erstwhile elite.

Natural systems physically exist, which is more than can be said of global finance and statehood. The physical self has a natural energy that is spontaneous.

Art is the expression of self. The techniques, though they play an important role in the early stage, should not be to complex or mechanical. Remember, you are expressing the technique and not “doing” the technique. When someone attacks you it is not technique number one (or is it technique number two, stance two, section four?) that you are doing, but the moment you are aware of his attack you simply move in like sound and echo without deliberation.
Bruce Lee, My View on Gung Fu, 1967 (Art of Life)

Artists are spontaneous beings, and they express the self. That is, genuine artists or creative outsiders like French village cartonist R Crumb. I might just mention the “lineage” of French comic magazines which is second to none (Japan, US and France – manga, bandes dessinnees, classic newstrips). I was introd to Pilote in the late 70s by which time it headed a social-satire subculture riding high on the 68 uprising, having launched with miniature Gaul, Asterix as more of a kid’s thing. Prefiguring Pilote was Spirou featuring Belgian icon Tintin, while Metal Hurlant was established by Pilote regulars Moebius, Drulliet, Dionnet – a veritable maelstrom of sub-culture talent.

All the French magazines are no more; their streetwise energy eclipsed by your standard neighbourhood bookstore. I would say that cultural energy was of the outsider-type, the sense of fraternity one gets from editorial direction and sensibility. Much the same applied to 60s Marvel Comics. There is obviously something racial and national in that, as can be plainly seen from the cover to Pilote #1. Some people are written out of modern pop-culture. Where are the bookish college types and intellectual white women you see in this 60s X-Men?

... Marine le Pen might qualify, and she was crudely insulted by “fellow” rightist Sarkozy. We get the likes of Paltrow, lighter than blancmange.

So, what I’m saying is natural systems are outsiders in the homogenised global culture. This point is fairly radical. It implies that the Right, in order to make headway against a global elite, should maintain outsider status. Actually, I’ve seen that point made in comments – the advantages of smallness and knowable status.

However, I’m now going to proceed to take it to unheard of levels! A natural system is what is meant by a universe. That is to say, a religion. Europe, viewed as a natural system, is Roman, with Jerusalem as a historical landmark. I don’t want to get too abstract here, so to be specific. The Kneset recently put forward a motion that Israel is a Jewish State, and that others are more or less freeloaders in their fiefdom (mainly Israeli-Arabs). Apart from the fact this is oppressive, historically Judea has been relatively heterogeneous – Aramaic, Assyrian, Greek. Herod was Aramaic and the language spoken was Aramaic.

Obviously, the principle reason is that Judea is a nexus for imperial leviathons, and sundry desert folk, a place of storytelling genius, not a state. The Biblical Ruth was Moabite, and hers also the Christian lineage. Hebes for much of their history were underdogs, hence Hebrew is the colloquial language of the NT, while Greek is the lingua franca and Aramaic the officialese.

Ruth

I know that’s a godawful shock, that we might essentially establish a New Jerusalem. The reason is plain: it’s a physical place that existed as a spiritual nexus for imperial stormtroopers, whose stories therefore have a physical and moral force. The Torah is much more of a historical document than some would care to admit; the physical and the moral are what attract the pilgrim and the warrior.

One of Robert E Howard’s historical tales, The Road of Azrael, tells of the sack of Jerusalem when Crusaders and Saracens fought side by side against infidel invaders from the East. Christianity, Judaism and Islam – three faiths bound by one place. Let me take this a stage further.

Modern Greece is being slowly mangled by the European kleptocratic machine. There is nothing fraternal in that; it’s simply naked barbarism of Frau Merkel and acolytes (maybe by default). The modern world is designed to make us forget our fraternal allegiances in place of the organized power of global finance. While exuberant crowds greeting the victory of Syriza may be free expressions, you can bet it will make no difference to the immovable object of pre-programmed global finance. The Greek tragedy is they still pay obeisance to the ancient gods in their sublime extremities. The natural European to whom all should owe allegiance.

The crucial point is this: there are no external controls on a natural system. All ancient societies have a design which is visible from village to palace, from country house to bower. The design has a spontaneous order, which takes the form of a hierarchy. The same principle is seen in Haeckel; his depictions of what might be called natural traditions (icons).

The concept of pure spontaneity is anathema to our pre-programmed elites, but in fact that is what a natural order consists of. In order to become a European natural system, one should recognize the paradox that we cannot do so without the presence of Jerusalem as a historical landmark in our natural development. It’s essentially a similar argument to that of acknowledging orthodox Islam; to repel the false prophets. In this case, the prophets of global monetary homogeneity.

The three great faiths are rivals; what they have in common is their natural, spontaneous formation from more or less a single tree. This is something that cannot be denied, since to deny it is to be part of the insider-mentality of a global elite.

Know your enemy. Why is Islam so less modernist than the global elites? For the reason their societies are bound by religious tradition to a marked degree. They are not our enemy; on the contrary, a Christianised Europe would literally storm the temples of Mammon and the voice of Rome would once again sway the tides of Men. Francis, as it happens, is something of an outsider, being a Jesuit from the Americas. He is certainly one of the most unpretentious and independent-minded leaders of faith for a century.

Outsiders have to belong to a natural order, partly by virtue of our Crusader past, Jerusalem has a natural place in a European sensibility. If you care to indulge in unnatural organization that’s up to you, but you will be under the sway of a maze-like complexity that knows no bounds.
