Your coach in high school probably told you that most of winning is mental. That is, you have to focus on what you want, visualize what you must do to get there, and have the discipline to do it. This ancient occult principle is currently refered to as the “Law of Attraction” but it has many names.

Similarly, in the West right now, for us to win we have to get very clear about what we want and reduce it to the logical basics. However this is something that most — and by that we mean five nines — of our population cannot do. Shamans, leaders, kings, poets, and philosophers have existed since the dawn of time for this reason: they are clarifiers.

If we clarify our thinking, we end up at very simple logical paths: if you do an action x, you get result y, so you make an Excel™ spreadsheet of x->y pairs, and then go shopping in the “y” column for what you want. If you do something, you exclude everything else and also change the context of your actions.

For example, a farmer who chooses to invest in irrigation can no longer spend that time, money, energy, and daylight on something else instead. He has made his choice. Even more, now his context or set of likely options and outcomes has changed since his fields are irrigated.

Before he can make any choices, then, the farmer has to think out the possibilities. If he does x and gets y, what is the z or consequences indirectly? And even more, what is an optimal goal, both realistic (based in reality) and pragmatic (achievable given limitations)?

The mental focus of the farmer determines his success. If he inherits a large blank field, and sees others having luck with having more water, then invents some kind of irrigation system, he gets ahead; then he must discover the rest of the puzzle, including rotating crops and using fertilizer. Soon he is prosperous, if he chooses well.

In the same way, we in the West need to figure out where we want to go. We know where we do not want to be, namely stuck in the DEADS loop, but we need to figure out what we want, which is going to be a synthesis of tradition and a futuristic outlook instead of trying to rewind history.

Our spiritual warfare starts with believing in existence. Most humans are self-pitying, which enables them to feel “superior” to the reality that keeps them mortal and powerless (in their view). They do not believe in existence, only in their own desires, judgments, and feelings.

Right now, the West does not believe in its own existence because it does not believe existence is good. Its motivating force — a rage for order, a compulsion to understand cause-effect relationships, a belief in a consistent and logical reality — got replaced by moralism and ideology.

Our organized religions betrayed us. They rejected the idea that what is good is what works in reality, and replaced it with mythical visions of Heaven and a pure morality based in the importance of every human individual, including the awful ones.

Our ideology betrayed us too. The idea of fair play became twisted into fair play to the bad, with the good being penalized to subsidize them. This quickly became runaway liberalism that culminated in democracy, socialism, and diversity.

Our society worked against us too. We made a functional world, and therefore it could be exploited by those who had manipulation in mind. All of our institutions were turned against us, and all of our courts became weaponized using the 14A to deprive us of our culture, history, values, and even genetics.

Naturally people become demoralized and despairing in the face of this. How can things be made right again, when almost everything is wrecked? What kind of world would allow this to happen? Have our gods abandoned us along with our common sense?

Our first task involves restoring belief in existence. Say it with me: “mistakes were made.” Our recent history is nothing more than this; we trusted the Crowd over the best of us, and the Crowd did what it always does, which is avoid troubling thoughts and pursue fantastical delusions instead because they make it “feel” better.

Nature did not do this to us. The Jews™ did not do this to us, nor did the kings or The Rich.™ We did this to us; the problem is us… or rather, the problem is that people in groups avoid tough decisions and make contrarian ironist ones instead in order to affirm our human power over reality.

So, the bad thing about screwing up is that it has already happened, cannot be undone, and there is a huge mess. Right. But the good thing about screwing up is that we can fix our own mess, get things back on track, and maybe learn from the whole experience.

To get back from our point of screwup, we have to realize that we have been living for centuries under the cloud of civilization decline.

No one has felt good about our future for a long time, so no one has thought about the future. We have become prejudiced against existence itself, hating ourselves and our future. For this reason, people felt “smart” for limiting their scope to their own lifetimes, retirement accounts, and credit limits and nothing more.

This means that our first method of fighting back against decline is to believe in existence, and correspondingly, to notice that mistakes were made and most people — because they fear change — would rather keep taking the mistakes than take the risk of changing direction, even if that direction is proven to be better all around.

Our next task is to start believing in life, including our lives, as an end in itself. That is: it is a worthwhile thing to the degree that we not only must support it, but take great joy in it and see it as the flowering of our power and our legacy of goodness.

I do not believe in “good” and “evil.” I think these are Arab fairy tales designed to universalize “what is good for me” by pretending it extends to others too. The only real morality is function; what works is good, what does not is not good. Naturally this applies only to my tribe. We cannot speak for others.

Instead, we should go with a simpler moral model based on the idea that the only morality is function. That which works well is positive, and everything else — because we must make a choice, and to choose something else prevents us from choosing what works — is a cross between irrelevant, insane, stupid, and bad.

To believe in life as an end-in-itself is to reject the modern theology of life as a means-to-an-end. We exist so that we can have the right ideology and have the right bank account. We strive not to make life better, but to make ourselves richer, more popular, and more powerful by sacrificing our time for those things.

Thus if we believe in existence and believe in life as an end-in-itself, we can no longer treat life as a negative and horrible thing that we should treat as a means-to-an-end. Our spirits become oriented toward the positive, creative, productive, aggressive, sane, realistic, and ascendant.

At that point we become separated from the modern viewpoint. Philosophers have described the quest for the thing-in-itself or the true form of life, that which is not caught up in the confusing “veil of Maya” of our senses five. Modernity sees material reality as the thing-in-itself, but because it measures through human perceptions, it annoints human judgments, feelings, and desires as a reality above reality itself.

Saner people tend to believe the thing-in-itself cannot be sensed in reality because it is a casual state to physical reality, as Plato argues. This viewpoint is idealistic — viewing the world as mind or mind-correlative, i.e. a parallel between thoughts, energy, and matter — but also monistic, in that reality does not separate between mind and matter.

Instead, things are continuous and parallel. Some larger existence which is thought-like determines what becomes real in physical reality, and physical reality feeds back into it because the two are continuous and parallel. In this view, the holy cannot be separated from the real, but nor can the material be seen as the whole of the real.

This viewpoint holds that there is a world larger than the individual and the sensations of life. Things like civilization matter not only because they are physical, but because they are the advancement of a process of clarifying our minds and rising above our origins.

In contrast to modern bourgeois reasoning, which holds that the only goal of life is human individuals and their comfort, this says that we have something to aspire to: we are setting the order of the universe to right as the choice agents that we are, and this both refines our minds and reveals our inner qualities.

When this viewpoint is explored, it can be seen to be one of the few actually positive philosophies. It says that we respond to opportunity and the chance of taking pleasure in an orderly and healthy environment, including civilization, instead of being respondent only to pain and fear of risk.

This view believes that the goal of life is pleasure. It views existence as holy and beautiful. It sees life as a goal in itself, not a means-to-an-end. It visualizes life as an expression of the thing-in-itself, and posits that transcendent beauty reveals the purpose of life, and possibly hints at a metaphysical dimension beyond material reality.

We are fighting a spiritual war to establish these notions on Earth, to save our civilization, and to discipline our own minds and souls so that we are geared toward the creative and ascendant. The first stage however is the hardest, in that we must conquer our own fears and find honest belief in these things.
