Book cover for The Splendour of Tiphareth: the Yoga of the Sun (The Complete Works, #10)
Kriya-yoga is the yoga of light. This is the yoga of the great Babaji, and it consists in thinking of light, of getting to know and understand light and colours, and of drawing them into oneself and projecting them all around. It is a ...more

“This is what intelligence means in the Work—the position of a thing in the Scale of Being, and the influences to which it is open”
Anonymous

“As Mark Lombardi would discover to his eternal disillusionment, Pope Paul VI not only worked the Nazi ratlines while managing the Vatican’s intelligence operations but directly assisted in installing highly placed Mafiosi in key political positions to extend US influence in Italy. He paved the way for Sindona to enter the Vatican Bank. Beatified in 2014 because of an alleged miracle attributed to his intercession, Montini was a highly compromised figure in more ways than one.”
Patricia Goldstone, Interlock: Art, Conspiracy, and the Shadow Worlds of Mark Lombardi

Julius Evola
“When a cycle of civilisation is reaching its end, it is difficult to achieve anything by resisting it and by directly opposing the forces in motion. The current is too strong; one would be overwhelmed. The essential thing is to not let oneself be impressed by the omnipotence and apparent triumph of the forces of the epoch. These forces, devoid of connection with any higher principle, are in fact, on a short chain. One should not become fixated on the present, and on things at hand, but keep in view the conditions that may come about in the future. Thus the principle to follow could be that of letting the forces and processes of this epoch take their own course, while keeping oneself firm and ready to intervene when "the tiger, which cannot leap of the person riding it, is tired of running".”
Julius Evola, Ride the Tiger: A Survival Manual for the Aristocrats of the Soul

Juan Carlos Monedero
“Lo que da sentido a la vida no puede reducirse a la condición de mercancía.”
Juan Carlos Monedero, Disfraces del Leviatán. El papel del Estado en la globalización neoliberal (Universitaria)

Lewis Hyde
“Once the web has lost its charm, its terms lose theirs; suddenly they seem contingent and open to revision. For those epi-predators who work with the signifiers themselves rather than the things they supposedly signify, language is not a medium that helps us see the true, the real, the natural. Language is a tool assembled by creatures with “no way” trying to make a world that will satisfy their needs; it is a tool those same creatures can disassemble if it fails them.”
Lewis Hyde, Trickster Makes This World: Mischief, Myth, and Art
