Elements of Racial Education -- Foreward   Topic List   < Prev Topic  |  Next Topic >

RE: [evola_as_he_is] Re: Elements of Racial Education -- Chap 11

This is why it is helpful to have the text ready at hand, rather than to rely on a summary.

 

The race of the soul is “connected to life”, that is, the “quality of character, of immediate inner reaction, of style of behaviour, to gifts which cannot be learnt or constructed but which are innate”. Evola points out that the race of the soul is only virtual in normal circumstances, but may reveal itself in a crisis.

 

Evola recognizes that “spirit” has lost its Traditional meaning, and which he describes as “instinct on a higher plane”. It is revealed as a “world view”, which is not arrived at by a process of reasoning nor by the experimental procedures of an empirical science. This world view is innate and is not learned. It colours the way a man experiences and relates to the world. One is either aware of his world view, or race of spirit, (thus understanding the forces moulding his life) or not.

 

Evola is not claiming some mystical or paranormal ability, but rather the insight to “see” this clash of world views as it plays out in the world. This requires some ability to transcend the becomingness of the world. Evola says that by studying a spiritual typology such as proposed by him, it is possible to develop the faculty of discernment for oneself.

Subject: [evola_as_he_is] Re: Elements of Racial Education -- Chap 11

 

After scrutinizing the multitude of previous posts on this list, I
feel (suprarationally) that I am now reasonably up to date with the
progression through the chapters.

However, I have in the process of assimilation, found two queries.

Firstly, does Evola provide a description of the distinction between
soul and spirit?

And secondly, from this supra-rational insight cited below, is it
correct to infer that this is something which can only be correctly
described by one whom has experienced it - also implying that one
whom does not experience it can never fully understand it?


> But this is precisely the power of "insight" to which Evola lays
claim: to

such

suprarational.
> It does not come from the experimental sciences of the world,
since its

not in
> its biological sense, but in its spiritual sense, from which the
biological
> form is simply the expression.
