Elements of Racial Education -- Chap 9


You didn't need to admit that you have absolutely no knowledge of
Evola's teachings of race. A review of 'The Elements of Racial
Education', which, 65 years or so after its publication, can be
considered as an introduction to that theory based on Aryan
traditional principles, has been posted, chapter by chapter, for a
few months onto this forum. It is impersonal and objective enough for
you to make it out. The romantic aberration which consists in
believing, or rather in convincing oneself, as did Stendhal, G. de
Nerval and other poets with an unprepossessing face, that "what one
holds on the interior is ultimately of higher value than his exterior
appearance", and which has been spread by Hollywood movies for those
who cannot afford plastic surgery, is unknown to the traditional
spirit, for which the exterior and the interior are indissociable.

If the race of the soul was, so to speak, the mirror of the race of
the body, we could speak of biologic determinism. However, it is not
the case. It is the contrary which is true : it's the body which, in
theory, is supposed to mirror the soul. The soul determines, to a
large extent, still in theory, the body.

than his exterior appearance.

passage a bit – the original text on page 31 has "nervous" where I
have put "energetic". I would have translated "thin" as "lean". I
doubt Evola was recommending the "skinny, nervous" type of guy as the
ideal. "Lean and energetic" makes more sense here. I would also bet
that the word translated as "slim" is "snello", not "magro". My
grandmother used to complain that I was too thin (magro), as she
filled my plate with another serving of pasta!

more Aryan to me. Sorry, no way can I make it "short and fat", but at
least we are not ruling out the mesomorph.

that a body has this shape rather than that one: it is not by chance
and without consequence." `[my rewording].

> Don't forget, too, that Evola is expressing the ideal, and ideal
that many of us may be far from due to the factors mentioned (cross-
breeding, hybridisation), so that the inner unity of an individual
may be lost. There is a life's task involved: to develop our
introspective and intuitive faculties, to be able to discern those
spiritual and soulish factors that constitute our interiority. This
requires concentration, but the end result may be to achieve a more
unified sense of spirit and soul. If we dig back far enough, we may
be able to find that primordial Aryan spirit within.

> As for the nation, Evola's purpose is writing this tract was to
outline a racial education for young people, so they would be able to
recreate a purer race over time. Of course, such an education is out
of the question anywhere in the Western world anymore. I suspect that
we will begin to see racially aware groups of people begin to
withdraw from the wider society to create their own communities.
