ARISTÆA

Nature as foundation, excellence as goal, beauty as horizon.

“Terribleness is part of greatness: let us not deceive ourselves.”

― Nietzsche, The Will to Power

[Art: Achilles dragging Hector by Alexander Rothaug]

[debarbat]

“Life has no “goal.” Mankind has no “goal.” The existence of this universe, in which we humans play off a tiny episode on our little planet, is much too majestic a thing to be explained by such puny slogans as “happiness for the largest number.” The greatness of the universal drama lies in its aimlessness. Goethe was aware of this. What we are called upon to do is to render the greatest possible meaning to the life that has been granted us, to the reality that surrounds us and into which Destiny has placed us. We must live in such a way that we can be proud of ourselves. We must act in such a way that some part of us will live on in the process of reality that is heading toward eventual completion.”

THE PRISON OF THE IMPULSE

"Do what you want." This is the mantra of the slave.

Most men mistake "Freedom" for lawless self-will. They are ruled by their moods, their appetites, and their reactionary standard. They are Volatile, chained to the next distraction.

The Sovereign seeks a different freedom. He seeks Nomos (The Law).

He builds his Bedrock through discipline and rules his own environment. He knows that without internal structure, external freedom is only a quicker path to annihilation.

Amor Fati. Love the constraints that forge your strength.

ARETÉ is the liberty of the man who has conquered his own chaos.

[debarbat]

What in sooth is freedom?

Freedom is the will to be responsible for ourselves.

[debarbat]

To love one’s fate is to possess the Courage to challenge public opinion. We do not seek a 'soft' peace or an indulgent escape. We seek Right Action.

"Remember how long you've been putting this off, how many extensions the gods gave you, and you didn't use them. At some point you have to recognize what world it is that you belong to; what power rules it and from what source you spring; that there is a limit to the time assigned you, and if you don't use it to free yourself it will be gone and will never return."

Marcus Aurelius - Meditations, Book 2, 4.

“The birth of a Culture is the moment when a great soul awakens out of the proto-spirituality of ever-childish humanity.”

“Man, like every animal must remain subject to a severe struggle.”

Be the hero. Seek that which is higher and reject that which is lower. Strive to transcend, moving ever upward on the vertical path of ascent.

[debarbat]

The world demands your reaction. Every headline, every comment, every insult. It wants you emotional, volatile, controllable.

But the truely strong man, the Aristæan, knows better. His power isn't in his rage, but in his stillness.

Master your reactions. Master your domain.

That's your ultimate power. That's Areté.

Hercule Couronné par la Gloire, Martin van den Bogaert

“Grant me that I have fortune from the blessed gods, and good repute from men all the time, may I be honey to my friends, gall to my foes, honoured on sight or feared respectively.” Sólōn

[debarbat]

Stop identifying with the fragments of yourself that are small, stagnant, or weak. Your life isn't found through self-denial or by bowing to a "divine" external force that demands you diminish your own being.

The divine is not something outside of you; it is your own nature at its absolute zenith. The only true sacrifice required is the shedding of the lesser versions of yourself - those parts that obstruct the path to your highest potential and truest self-mastery.
