The Aryan Quest for Enlightenment

Perennialism, religion, spirituality, and the future of the White Aryan Race.

To imbibe what is true, good, and beautiful from each of the world’s religions, to discard from them what is useless, and to add what is essentially unique from my own spirit: This has been my quest for Enlightenment as a Perennialist for many years now and it fills me with joy.

Among the most essential Perennialist claims are that the religious traditions that have come down to us in the modern world descend from one Transcendent source and are but different branches ultimately derived from one Primordial Tradition. The classic metaphor used to describe this is different colored rays of light having a common source, and the classic diagram used to depict this is concentric circles with the exoteric religious traditions (Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, etc.) in the outermost circle and the esoteric truth at the core: the religions unite at the inner mystical core realized by their spiritual elites but diverge in their particular outer forms of expressions. The Perennialists (Guenon, Schuon, Evola, etc.) diverge with each other on many critical aspects on what they think the Primordial Tradition is exactly, and what the precise nature of the Transcendence from whence they all derive is, but with this framework they are all in agreement. The tensions between the Perennialists are intellectually stimulating to consider, such as the Guenonian claim that the priestly caste is supreme versus the Evolian claim that it is the warrior caste that is supreme.

Without ever having intended to do so from the beginning when I started my quest as a perennialist, I must stake my claim on being my own sort of Perennialist though I still absolutely agree with the general framework described above. You must understand that when I began my quest for enlightenment I was fully prepared to be either a Guenonian or an Evolian or even just to adopt one whole exoteric religion wholesale. In order to be true to my conscience, however, I have had to carve out my own path and slowly venture out as into an uncharted wilderness. The content of my own belief and speculation. is what you read here on my Substack. I will tell you my reason for why I have become a spiritual vagabond, but before I do this, I will tell you some essential concepts I have learned from studying the perennialists.

The ideas I’ve imparted through my writing are what I have realized as much through my praxis as through my theoria. Through prolonged devotional prayer, silent meditation, ritual, asceticism, courage, and charitable love there are dimensions of the heart and mind opened up that are closed to those who ignorantly believe that studiously reading and pondering is sufficient to realize the truth. Through such actions the truth can be more fully known by us because they increase our affinity for what the truth actually is. In doing them we have made our consciousness more receptive to the nature of truth. I don’t engage in such activities as much as I’d like and must balance them with my worldly concerns as is the case for all except for monastics who have renounced this world altogether to seek the realization of the truth exclusively.

Speaking of monasticism, I was once a fully ordained Buddhist monk. I left this world of illusion behind to silently meditate in a cliffside monastery. The monasticism practiced there was strict on enforcing silence as a discipline. The monks could not speak to each other except by passing notes or in soft whispers so as not to break the silence. The sacred exterior silence seeped into our inner silence pursued in meditation, and the silence taught me many things. A person cannot be an esotericist, a transcendentalist, a perennialist until they understand that being able to understand is not the same thing, necessarily, as being able to describe with words: the content of the ultimate spiritual truths are always beyond all words and while words and concepts may help us reach them, they can just as easily prove a lethal snare if we exalt them in themselves with no regard for the truth beyond all words that they are meant to point towards which can only be experienced within. That inner experience of enlightenment that slowly and radically transforms us from the inside out is what I am really after. Still, attempting to articulate this can have a hugely positive effect if we are humble enough to admit to ourselves foremost and to others as well that no attempt at doing this can ever be perfect. The truths I have realized over the course of my life have brought me many consolations and encouragements. They have helped me to spiritually grow and be closer to The Divine. I started writing my substack in order to share what I have learned with all of you in hopes that you will benefit from what I have learned as much as I have benefitted from realizing it. But I don’t see myself as some kind of Guru, rather a kind of adept-seeker. My substack is an invitation for you to join my quest to realize and articulate the ultimate enlightening truths that lead to the inner transformation of the individual.

What we call religion is just a communal flourishing of our spiritual nature and what we call spirituality is an individual flourishing of that nature. Only the latter can lead to the fullness of that inner realization which is the meaning of life, but spirituality must necessarily be sustained, even quite heavily, by religion, because of our own weaknesses and foibles that can typically only be overcome by means of externally applied rules. In addition to this, a communal flourishing of a spiritual nature is beneficial to all involved though it cannot just by itself complete the quest for enlightenment. But religion can be a distraction and even an obstacle to real spiritual growth, so keeping the distinction in mind is useful.

A person’s religion cannot ever be an arbitrary choice if it is to be fruitful for them. Not all exoteric religious forms are appropriate for each person. You don’t choose your path - the path chooses you, or else you aren’t even walking a path. A religion, properly speaking, must arise from the innermost essence of who you really are. Your spirituality, your religion, is the blossoming of your essence or else it is nothing at all. Indeed, the only reason solid categories of religions (“Christianity” “Islam” “Paganism” “Buddhism”) exist at all is because God made it so peoples are similar enough to each other to a certain extent that they can be reasonably classified as a group.

A spiritual truth is our direct experience of The Divine. The expression of a spiritual truth must necessarily take on a form (e.g. a religion) that is different from that truth itself, and people that are different from each other will necessarily express the same truth in a different form. Not all forms are appropriate for all peoples and this is why there are so many different exoteric religions. Because no form of expressing a truth can ever be that truth itself, no form of expressing a truth can ever be perfect and thus no religion can ever be perfect. It is especially the case that no religion can ever be perfect in the modern era due to the corrosive effect of Modernistic Liberalism that has infected every religion in varying degrees, in addition to the normal reasons of religions falling into a state of decay due to the moral failures and ignorance of their practitioners and leaders over so many generations. If a religion was perfect or even close to it then it would be too easy for their members to make of their religion a false idol, which most still do anyway even when their religions have gotten so decrepit.

The spiritual truth is universal but since we are particular beings living in particular contexts who can only access truth through particular means, following the exoteric forms of a religion very strictly is actually very important. You must strive to find the strictest and most traditional expression of a religion in order to find the particular expression of the divine truth in that religious form. This is why when I practiced Buddhism I tried as much as possible to eschew any liberal interpretation of it, when I was drawn to Sanatana Dharma I tried to abandon any New Agey corruptions of it, when I was drawn to Paganism I only practiced the most strongly researched ethnic expressions of it I could find, and when I was drawn to Christianity I only attended strict traditionalist churches like the SSPX or conservative Reformed churches.

As Schuon points out in his book The Transcendental Unity of Religions, every system of religious thought, every metaphysical philosophy, will necessarily have an error in it or a weakness that undoes the entire system. This is actually why it is good to study other religions on the side even as you strictly practice only one as strongly as you are able: What is deficient in one Tradition will be better presented in another, and this will help you to make up for the deficiencies in whatever Tradition you happen to be practicing by noticing how one Tradition has preserved something that has been lost or distorted in yours. The value of Perennialism is precisely in the fact that the Traditions can correct each other and bolster each other insofar as any one of them is interpreted correctly. Real Perennialism has never been about trying to distill religions into a vague and shallow “one-world” religion - may whoever thinks this be accursed. I renounce anyone who would even attempt doing that as a matter of principle. Rather, Perennialism is about strengthening each individual Tradition by reviving the mentality that makes one able to value and encounter The Sacred as such, prior to its deeper expression that is veiled (as it were) in the world’s Traditions. It is about seeking the esoteric divine core that each Tradition points towards within the confines of a Tradition and recognizing the light from that core within other Traditions for the sake of being able to better seek it and experience it within our own Tradition.

The final battle at the end of this dark age of modernism will be a battle between a Perennialism that synthesizes all of the errors of every religion and a Perennialism that synthesizes all of the truths of every religion. The former is the liberal transhumanist antichrist religion and the latter is the vessel of the golden age to come. The latter is the restoration of The Primordial Tradition from which all the truths of the extant religions in the modern world come. The Primordial Tradition of Divine Enlightenment will return but it is not ours to restore just as it was not ours to establish. God Himself will decide when and how to fully restore The Primordial Tradition. Any Esoteric Perennialist who tries to restore it is being foolish because how you can restore something without understanding it fully? This doesn’t mean speculation on the nature of The Primordial Tradition is bad - not at all! I have done plenty of this myself. But we must admit that our conclusions can never be definitive. For now we cling to whichever shards of The Primordial Tradition that the Grace of God has given to us. Whatever we have is always more than enough to reach whichever level of Enlightenment that God wants to reach in this lifetime. He is omnipotent and His Power cannot be thwarted by something like “The Spirit of the Age” or whichever Yuga we happen to be stuck in. Such things as The Kali Yuga are petty compared to the Omnipotent Might of God.

Now, indeed, who is God? The Supreme Being has left traces of Himself in all of the revealed religions that still exist today and in many that haven’t survived into the modern world but which we can still read about. God is so thoroughly beyond words that even when He speaks to you directly He is still cloaking Himself, and this is for our own benefit, His self-existent luminosity threatens our darkness which is all that our ego is. But the glimpse of His pure light in the cloak of the exoteric religions is a seductive enticement to esoteric transcendence and knowing Him directly which is the only point of all religion, culture, philosophy, in this and every other world for every sentient being. Christianity, Islam, Sanatana Dharma, Sikhism, Platonism, and numerous other faiths give us glimpses of The Supreme Being.

Many religious forms make a claim to being truly universal and thus applicable to all people or even all sentient beings in general. Christianity, Islam, and Buddhism are examples of religions that claim this type of universality. While some religions are more universal than others, ultimately, no exoteric religious form can ever be completely universal since in order to even be an exoteric form at all it must necessarily exclude something. The Esoteric Perennialist is the one most capable of being a universalist, and yet, he can only even be an Esoteric Perennialist at all by affirming the validity of a whole plethora of revealed exoteric religious forms. A universalistic religious form is not necessarily better than a highly particular (or, we could say, ethnic) one, in fact. The value of a universal form is that by getting people from a wide variety of ethnicities to follow an exoteric religious form the universality of the esoteric spiritual truth beyond all words and all forms is more clearly recognized, but the danger of this type of expression is that a universalistic religious form can easily be subverted as a tool for imperialism or globalism as we see in our own day. All of the universalistic religious forms in our world are being used to subvert Traditional societies by people who do not care about real spirituality at all, which doesn’t mean engaging with those forms is bad necessarily, but you have to be careful when doing so for that reason. By contrast, the value of an ethnic religious form is that it helps a tightly-knit group of people to see how the divine is imminent in all the they do, whereas the danger with an ethnic religious form is that it can take the particular and absolutize it, thus resulting in idolatry, as you see this with the subversive Jewish Supremacists who negatively impact the whole world today and with the more crass White Supremacists you see online.

With a few notable exceptions, most religions that still exist in the modern world fall into two categories: Abrahamism or Dharmic. We could expand the latter category to include all Indo-European (or, as we much prefer to say, Aryan) forms of religious expression. This plays into the reality of exoteric religious forms being either universal or ethnic, which results in four broad categories of religious forms: Universal Abrahamisms (Christianity, Islam), Ethnic Abrahamisms (Judaism), Universal Dharma (Buddhism, some Hindu expressions like Vaishnava) and Ethnic Dharma (Asatru or Norse Paganism, Celtic Paganism). Most of the religions exluded from these categories like Shintoism tend to be closer to Dharma in terms of what they believe.

The three ways of inwardly realizing the truth include devotion, contemplation, and action. All religious forms tend to have all three while emphasizing one above all. Abrahamic religions are all devotional, indeed, most religions still surviving in the kali-yuga tend towards being devotional. This is a type of spiritual expression where what is central is our relationship with The Divine as manifested through a particular Divine Person, God. The Vaishnavas and Bhakti-Yogis in Hinduism are like this as well. In this path, the central praxis is prayer. Buddhism is an example of a path that is mostly contemplative, and I actually think the Platonists in their heyday where like this as well though they contemplated Forms rather than Formlessness as Buddhists do. In this path, the central praxis is meditation. The action-based paths are warrior religions that see doing such heroic acts as dying on the battlefield or feats of athleticism with a certain attitude to be the central ways of approaching the divine, and these religions have not survived into the modern world, which actually tells me that at the end of this historical epoch they will be the first to come back. Perennialists tend to look down on more devotional forms of spirituality, but I think that we human beings are not the ones who get to decide which religious forms last and which ones do not. If the devotional paths are so singularly prominent today it must be because God in His Ineffable Wisdom knows that these are the paths most suitable to the humanity of the Kali-Yuga. But still, it is important to know that there are other paths especially if your nature cannot really be satisfied by devotionalism.

My biggest point of contention with most Perennialists is that I do not believe that all religious forms are equal. The Perennialists will say that all the revealed exoteric religions are like so many colors of light that come from the one white light. This is true, but purple is still a higher frequency than red, and who is to say whether or not the one white light doesn’t indeed favour one colour over another? Certainly, when we look at the universe, we see hierarchies everywhere, and this is so by design. There must, then, be a hierarchy of religious forms just as there is a hierarchy with everything else. Just as there are superior and inferior races of man though no race of man is “perfect” and we all have a common origin, so too is it madness to assert that all religious forms are equal, rather there are superior and inferior religions and yet they all have a common source in that aforementioned white light of Primordial Tradition. Just because an exoteric religion has survived into the common day does not at all necessarily mean that it is superior to the ones that did not, given that the quality of human being in our time is very low, we can only assume that nobler religions must have passed away.

Exoteric religions come and go but the esoteric truths they point towards remain always the same being essentially identical to The Divine Reality itself. What determines whether an exoteric religion lasts is if people realize the esoteric truth through it. This is the only thing that can really refresh a religion, not constantly trumpeting about the need for reform. The symbols and laws and institutions of an exoteric religion are revitalized only by people realizing that inexpressible truth the inward realization of which those aforementioned things were only meant to be a way of preparing for the reception of. When a religion is no longer a useful vehicle for spiritual enlightenment / theosis due to falling into decay or having forgotten too many essential doctrines, then it is always hijacked by demons for diabolical ends. Demons are like flies on a rotting corpse, using whatever is still good from the dying body of a religion for as long as they can to cause as much havoc as they are able. God Himself actively wills the destruction of an exoteric religion that has gone wrong in order to thwart the demons and then creates new ones out of love for Mankind. Abrahamism displaced many of the Paganisms of yore, and the paganisms of yore destroyed many religions from a yet more ancient time. In our own time, most Abrahamic religions have all been heavily subverted for diabolic ends, and it wouldn’t surprise me at all if God Himself willed their destruction for the sake of replacing them with a new revelation. The spiritual crisis wrought by Modernity and Liberalism and Industrialism has gotten so severe that I think it actually necessitates the creation of new exoteric religious forms that God will reveal at the right time.

Each new exoteric religious tradition is esoteric relative to the one that preceded it according to God’s Ineffable Plan. I would add, I think, it is precisely the most sincere yet unsatisfied practitioners of a decaying exoteric religion who are prepared to be the receivers of a new esoteric revelation that then becomes the foundation of a new exoteric religion. Yes, dissatisfied yet sincere Christians as well as White Pagans who yearn for a religion that celebrates their race and gives them a connection to the divine and their own ancient past are the most likely candidates to receive a new divine revelation in our own time more than any other group in world history. All exoteric religious forms are good if they are still living traditions, but each exoteric religious form must necessarily exclude some aspect of what is good and divine. The key to what the new exoteric religion will be is found in what is good and divine yet excluded from the current mainstream traditions… Yes, I think about this often. In what is forgotten, even in what is forbidden, that is where the revelation upon which the new exoteric religion will be founded can be discovered by one who is prepared to receive it and who has been prepared to receive it by God Himself.

Indeed, where I am at now on my spiritual quest is that I am seeking a new direct public revelation from God on how to thrive amidst the crisis of the modern world, especially as it affects my White Aryan race… how to secure the existence of my people and a future for white children, so we can thrive on all levels of our being especially spiritually. How He Himself wants us to relate to ourselves as a race and to our ancient past and to honour Him in our own unique ways. I have faith that I can receive this, whatever it may be, though I have not yet.

I have found the exoteric religious traditions that still survive in the modern world that I have studied and practiced are not suitable vehicles for me being able to express my spirituality naturally or fully. None of the exoteric religions extant in our age address my problems and many of them zealously strive towards making them worse. This doesn’t make me an atheist or an agnostic - I am the farthest from either of those positions, believe me! When you have experienced personally even the tiniest glimpse of the divine light from whence all religions come as I have all possibility of being an atheist or agnostic is eliminated from you forever. No, it is mad to be an atheist if you are White. We have always sought after The Divine as expressed by The Gods or God. Atheist/Agnostics may occasionally have interesting things to say, as Nietzsche does, but it is apparent with him as with every other insightful Atheist/Agnostic that they are usually somewhat theistic even in spite of themselves. White Aryans who are Atheists are out of touch with who they really are. We are a people who love spiritual beings, who worship God and The Gods.

But being a White Aryan who seeks the divine is never as simple as converting to Christianity or whatever else. Those who do so are always trying to approach it on their own terms and bring it in harmony with who they really are by ignoring some aspects of its mainstream presentation while emphasizing others, and those who do not admit that this is what they are doing are lying to themselves and others. I don’t think any mainstream Christian expression really accurately reflects the way White Aryans have always thought about God or even the way we thought about God 80 years ago. I know that many of my readers are Christians, and I am not saying any of these things to offend you or to dissuade you from practicing Christian religion. In fact, I have never been interested in persuading or dissuading anyone from practicing any one particular exoteric religion. I am interested in the pursuit of the transcendent white light. As I said earlier, it is best to seek the esoteric transcendent light through strict observance of an exoteric religious form while seeking spiritual growth. Many are making great strides in trying to reform Christian religions to make them more amicable to White Aryans again, but perhaps the fact that these religions have turned against us as much as they have as quickly as they have shows there was something suspicious about them from the start that needs to be tamed or removed. In any case, anyone seeking to be involved with Christianity has to deal with the fact that most Christian institutions have communists, gays, neo-conservatives, and just general cowards in key positions of power that negatively impact those institutions. I don’t think those people are “real Christians” but the fact that they have gotten into key positions of power and that there are so many of them can only mean there is some serious problem with the religion.

This dilemma is not as simple as converting to Paganism, either, because you have to confront the fact that these religions have tragically fallen apart due to the wicked overzealousness of certain Christians. Because of this, there is no direct continuity of living tradition, or institutions, or key religious practices. This doesn’t mean that those noble people I know attempting to revive Paganism are doing so in vain, of course, because spiritual realities are eternal. But because Paganism has such limited definitive authorities in our age it must necessarily be open ended. That means there will be those who attempt to reconstruct it on left-wing grounds who spread confusion and prevent the realization of the truth using the same symbols you seek to use to do that. So here too we confront the problem of liberalism corroding everything. I do not think these people are “real pagans” of course, none of my ancestors were gay communists. Then there is the question of why ethnic european religions even fell into such disarray at all. There must have been a serious problem that crept in before the conversion of Christianity into these lands for this to have even happened at all. But still, many have made great strides towards reviving Paganism through diligent research and praxis and we are learning new things all the time which is excellent. In general, I support the revival and imbibing of the spirit of our ancient Pre-Christian past as much as possible.

If you want to follow an Aryan-founded eastern religion as I did for many years and still do to a large extent, then that could make sense, Buddhism and Hinduism are ultimately founded by Aryans of course. But since most people who practice either religion historically are not full blooded Aryans, you have to wade through Asiatic mentalities and sometimes even Asiatic distortions in order to arrive at the Aryan root. You can still use these and other Eastern religions like Taoism, Shinto as vehicles for the truth, they tend to be less distorted by Liberalism but you can find Liberal interpretations of these things too unfortunately though they are not as widespread. Any truth you discover will benefit you even if it is in context of an Asiatic religion because spiritual truth is universal, indeed even aside from whether these religions have any connection to us historically studying and learning from these religions can be useful because they have preserved aspects of The Primordial Tradition that have been forgotten in The West for centuries if not longer. However, if you adopt these religions wholesale, people will always think of you as a Liberal no matter how well you can articulate their compatibility with Western/Aryan culture. Most Right-Wing Whites will dismiss you as foreign and left-wing whites will dismiss you as hypocritical for your embrace of “Eastern” things even if you have connected to primeval spiritual truths that are universal and thus beyond eastern/western through the eastern forms.

Thus, every exoteric religious tradition extant today provides serious problems for a White Aryan like myself who craves the inner realization of esoteric spiritual truth more than anything else. They are all hard to work with politically and they all pose obstacles that can make engaging with them very uncomfortable at times. If you are a spiritually inclined young white youth there is no wholly organic spiritual expression for you that helps you realize your inner spiritual nature to the fullest extent and unite you to a religious community with people exclusively of the same racial heritage as you with clearly shared political goals. This is a tremendous problem. The profound sickness that stops the White Aryan race from being able to push back against or even recognize the forces that enable the defiling of our women, the castration of our sons, the extinction of our race, the loss of our lands, the corruption of our institutions is a terribly profound problem that cries to heaven for a new divine revelation to be able to solve it. We need authentic divine inspiration to be able to fight to the death against all of the dark spiritual beings and dark races attempting to drive our race to extinction.

Guenon and Schuon, recognizing the abysmal depths that Liberalism was plunging Western Man into, abandoned Western Culture altogether and became Islamic Sufis. While I have learned a great deal from those two gentlemen, this is a conclusion I could never come to and I believe they made a serious mistake. Islam is a predative force upon The White Aryan Race and has been for a thousand years. Whatever spiritual truth there is in Islam, and I admit there must be some, is overridden by the fact that in The West it is always going to be connected to anti-white ethnic gangsterism. No, this is not acceptable.

Instead, those two gentlemen should have strived for the same goal as me: To seek to connect to that inner transcendental esoteric core from whence all religions come for the sake of receiving new revelations to empower the White Aryan Race in this dark time. I am prepared for whatever revelation God wants to give to heal our people. I have absolute confidence that God will directly intervene with a new revelation to help our race during this uniquely intense crisis because we have always served Him, and if we have served no less a being than God then we must be benefitted, as is the demand of natural justice, and who can be more just than God? We have always served Him: The entire Indo-Aryan religious matrix which served as the root of Buddhism and Hinduism and other spiritual vehicles has resulted in many non-whites reaching spiritual enlightenment was created by us. Even prominent Muslims like the legendary Sufi Rumi had significant White ancestry, and Christianity is a spiritual path that was spread to the entire world only through the zeal of The White Race who also developed its finest fruits and produced its finest spiritually enlightened saints.

The entire religions of Judaism and Islam only exist today because The White Man spared them. Never let them forget that Jews could have been exterminated dozens of times but the Whites took pity on them, and Islam was utterly conquered by Whites during the colonial era but out of their compassionate idealism Whites decided to tolerate the religion of Islam rather than destroy it as they could have done. Whites have benefitted every religious system, and it is high time we have one for our own, an ethnic White Aryan religion. God won’t let a race that has served Him as much as we have down. Never let them tell you that Whites are materialistic and worldly and only orientals are the spiritual ones. White Aryans have always loved God passionately. Many of our race have reached the heights of divine enlightenment, and it is high time that someone do this for the sake of reviving our race’s heart with grace and power from Above.

The Perennialist framework, which I have in part outlined earlier, helps me to sustain my personal quest for spiritual enlightenment for the sake of empowering my race while remaining honest as an intellectual and true to my conscience. Many who lived in the days of yore were Perennialists like myself seeking new revelations to revive decrepit Traditions or start new ones from scratch by seeking the Supreme God through whom all Traditions are founded and to whom they all point. I do not know what the content of that revelation I seek would be. How could I, if I have not received it yet? I am prepared for whatever God wants to tell me and I am ready to reveal it to others if He wants me to. It could result in a new denomination of Christianity that is explicitly pro-white and exclusively for Whites, it could result in a new variant of an eastern religion that is adapted for Whites and is explicitly pro-white and exclusively for Whites, it could result in a revival of our ancient ethnic Paganism that is pro-white and exclusively for Whites, it could even result in a brand new ethnic religion that is unprecedented in terms of what has existed before but helps to strengthen our racial consciousness as White Aryans. Yes, what we need is an ethnic faith that helps us thrive in modern conditions, strengthens our racial consciousness, and provides a path that is a means to realizing the absolute, universal Transcendental truth beyond all rational consideration and wild imagination.

My plan for this Substack for the future is to analyze religions, spiritualities, mythologies, metaphysical systems, and philosophies for the sake of finding as many glimmers of that all-beauteous light that I love and sharing my findings on here, all for the sake of reviving a spiritual culture for my noble race. What I have found so far is glimpses of The Aryan Dharma, the eternal natural religion of The White Aryan Race.
