Nestled comfortably in the center of the story is a culmination of a
thousand years. Often mistakenly called the Dark Ages, this millennium has
been the greatest source of light in the history of Western civilization.
Although miles of library shelves were filled with medieval written on the
skins of goats and cattle, a little taste of their slogans is sufficient to
demonstrate their wisdom.
1. Do gladium Tollas Mulier & # 8221. (Erasmus Sayings)
Erasmus of Rotterdam was a Dutch priest and mastermind of the fifteenth
century polymath. In his words book, Sayings, he coined the phrase wife,
don t pick up that sword & # 8221.
On its surface, this kind of blatant sexism and patriarchy would be pretty
red pilled itself. Of course, women should not fight in tournaments or to
serve on the front line of the army. They should not be debasing their
femininity and emasculate men putting their lives and the faces look great
harm s way.
The genius of this citation, however, is not about women in combat at all.
Obviously, Erasmus day, the armies of medieval kingdoms not the problem of
political pussified, good gender diversity policies. There would be no need
to oppose women in combat and # 8221. On the contrary, that Erasmus becomes
is that you shouldn t provides assistance if you got nothing to offer.
Don t ask me if I need a hand with my bags if you have never lifted a
weight in your life. Don t tell me how to vote or how to live if you're a
brain dead celebrity with four divorces and drug addiction. Don t act like
you're the cautious gatekeeper if you've been and roll on dead since Bill
Clinton was elected. Woman & # 8212; just put down.
2. Per me reges regnant & # 8221. (Charlemagne, Aachen Mayor)
I walked throughout the German city of Aachen, appreciate the grandeur of
soaring towers and deep cultural roots. It was the seat of Emperor
Charlemagne, the first Holy Roman Emperor known for uniting Western
Christendom under his rule, crushing the Saracens and Moors, and triggered
a cultural renaissance of art and learning known as the Carolingian
Renaissance.
During the entry of Aix la Chapelle s town hall is 1,200 years Charlemagne
currency, an inscription of the Book of Proverbs :. through me the rule of
kings
Dynasties have adopted this motto as well.
Vast as Charlemagne's military and economic power was, he recognized first
and foremost as its power to govern from God. Unlike the ignorant and
opportunistic political philosophers of the so-called Enlightenment, who
thought that the sovereign decided only because the people allowed him to
Charlemagne understood that all leaders are illegitimate unless God
delegates authority for them. No king deserves to be recognized by his
subjects unless it recognizes itself that it is a subject in the kingdom of
heaven.
Modernity and its pestilential requirements of secularism that the
separation of church and state to be defended at all costs. What they do
not realize is that the two can never be separated, one subjugated to
another. Without God's headship just, the state becomes the Church. This is
modern America and most Western countries. He led us to a self-destructive
place.
I saw a garage door in Aachen with graffiti painted on it, representing
Charlemagne holding his famous globus cruciger (ball and crosses),
representing the Church who chairs the state. Beside him was painted of a
hand flipping the bird the emperor. Here is a resident of Charlemagne's own
city, one of the major centers of cultural heritage on earth, so full of
spite for their own heritage that they could react with hatred without
spirit.
In rejecting the history, the Germans managed to learn everything but his
most recent lessons. Merkel's weak and dissipated Germany will eventually
fall, and will be looted cultural treasures. When that day comes, they will
pray the spirit of Charlemagne to return.
3. Use of inferius sic & # 8221. (Hermes Trismegistus, Smagdarine Tablet)
This cryptic sentence of esoteric tablet Smagdarine (questionable late
ancient origins) can be taken in many different ways. Translated simply, as
above, so below, it was originally designed to express the parallel between
microcosm and macrocosm in the ancient natural science.
Just like humans manipulate musical notes, so that the planets move in the
music of the spheres & # 8221. Just as we have our body parts (most noble
of heart, brain) above on their bodies, even the heavens become more noble
a trip (to the primum mobile machine or first). Etc. Basically, there is an
aesthetic, logical and moral to all, consistent in the universe.
Man, the microcosm, placed above the spheres, the macrocosm.
The term has also been adapted to Christian use, given its uncanny
resemblance to the line in Christ's Our Father, thy will be done on earth
as in heaven & # 8221. So Christ n 'place human action in the context of
the divine, as if to say remember that the good we do is part of God's
plan, and our evil is the fight. Christian theologians like St. Augustine
took the expression even further, as when he argued that the three human
faculties of memory, intellect and will were a mirror to the Holy Trinity.
As above, so below.
Modern man sees the world in a much different way. In fact, the words of
the ancient Greek philosopher Protagoras summarize the state of modern
spirit rather well: Man is the measure of all things. Plato and Aristotle
both criticized for this relativism, but it seems that Protagoras spirit
lives. For modern man, a party to take the red pill, and piercing the fog
modern means recognizing a higher power that orders and moves the universe.
4. Ora et labora & # 8221. (St. Benoît de Nursie, Regula)
Amid the wreckage of the ancient Roman Empire, a very ordinary person has
done something extraordinary: he left. Benedict was a noble in the Italian
town Nursia who realized he needed to stop running the rat race of
aristocratic power struggle with all money-hungry merchants and petty
bureaucrats in his city.
He took the ultimate red pill and realized that he could acquire something
much more valuable if he could find peace, so he made a long journey into
the countryside to live a simple set of practices known as the Rule. He was
joined by many others, and soon, Benedictine monasticism was the most
widespread cultural movement in history.
Benedict famous injunction, work and pray, perfectly captures the need for
calm. Those who work only fritter their lives serving businesses and
overlords far pencil pushers, while suppressing other deep, human needs.
Together, work and prayer are the two halves of a whole: the fervent
ambition to accomplish and go up, and the prayerful recognition that this
life is not all there is, and what comes next is much more important.
It is interesting to note that Benedict XVI, who has left the world to find
peace and quiet, became the founder of a monastic order who built amazing
structures, produced brilliant writings, full of leadership positions
influence, acquired great wealth, developed engineering technology and
painted beautiful works of art.
Go and get medieval
Armed with these and other weapons from the wisdom of middle age, you are
equipped to defend against modern confusion and degeneration by having a
vision of the real world that is both consistent and solid.
Remember that you are not a lonely soul wandering in a wasteland; you are a
created being in a vast natural order governed by a deity. If your mind has
this fact alone, you are more red than pilled the great majority of proles
market today s world.
