Download or read book Imperium of the soul written by Norman Etherington and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2017-03-01 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some of the most compelling and enduring creative work of the late Victorian and Edwardian Era came from committed imperialists and conservatives. Their continuing popularity owes a great deal to the way their guiding ideas resonated with modernism in the arts and psychology. The analogy they perceived between the imperial business of subjugating savage subjects and the civilised ego's struggle to subdue the unruly savage within generated some of their best artistic endeavours. In a series of thematically linked chapters Imperium of the soul explores the work of writers Rudyard Kipling, Joseph Conrad, Rider Haggard and John Buchan along with the composer Edward Elgar and the architect Herbert Baker. It culminates with an analysis of their mutual infatuation with T. E. Lawrence - Lawrence of Arabia - who represented all their dreams for the future British Empire but whose ultimate paralysis of creative imagination exposed the fatal flaw in their psycho-political project. This transdisciplinary study will interest not only scholars of imperialism and the history of ideas but general readers fascinated by bygone ideas of exotic adventure and colonial rule.

Download or read book Imperium written by Francis Parker Yockey and published by The Palingenesis Project (Wermod and Wermod Publishing Group). This book was released on 2013-01-14 with total page 926 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written without notes in Ireland, and first published pseudonymously in 1948, Imperium is Francis Parker Yockey’s masterpiece. It is a critique of 19th-century rationalism and materialism, synthesising Oswald Spengler, Carl Schmitt, and Klaus Haushofer’s geopolitics. In particular, it rethinks the themes of Spengler’s The Decline of the West in an effort to account for the United States’ then recent involvement in World War II and for the task bequeathed to Europe’s political soldiers in the struggle to unite the Continent—heroically, rather than economically—in the realisation of the destiny implied in European High Culture. Yockey’s radical attack on liberal thought, especially that embodied by Americanism (distinct from America or Americans), condemned his work to obscurity, its appeal limited to the post-war fascist underground. Yet, Imperium transcents both the immediate post-war situation and its initial readership: it opened pathways to a deconstruction of liberalism, and introduced the concept of cultural vitalism— the organic conceptualisation of culture, with all that attends to it. These contributions are even more relevant now than in their day, and provide us with a deeper understanding of, as well as tools to deal with, the situation in the West in current century. It is with this in mind that the present, 900-page, fully-annotated edition is offered, complete with a major foreword by Dr Kerry Bolton, Julius Evola’s review as an afterword (in a fresh new translation), a comprehensive index, a chronology of Yockey's life, and an appendix, revealing, for the first time, much previously unknown information about the author's genealogical background.

I urge that you pray that they are gone and banish each time you turn a page, otherwise you may find yourself overcome by them, which would doubtlessly mean madness and death." -Dr John Dee

Book excerpt: "May Steven Saylor's Roman empire never fall. A modern master of historical fiction, Saylor convincingly transports us into the ancient world...enthralling!" —USA Today on Roma Continuing the saga begun in his New York Times bestselling novel Roma, Steven Saylor charts the destinies of the aristocratic Pinarius family, from the reign of Augustus to height of Rome's empire. The Pinarii, generation after generation, are witness to greatest empire in the ancient world and of the emperors that ruled it—from the machinations of Tiberius and the madness of Caligula, to the decadence of Nero and the golden age of Trajan and Hadrian and more. Empire is filled with the dramatic, defining moments of the age, including the Great Fire, the persecution of the Christians, and the astounding opening games of the Colosseum. But at the novel's heart are the choices and temptations faced by each generation of the Pinarii. Steven Saylor once again brings the ancient world to vivid life in a novel that tells the story of a city and a people that has endured in the world's imagination like no other.

Download or read book The Primitive Origination of Mankind written by Matthew Hale and published by . This book was released on 1677 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This text explores mankind's origins, as considered and examined in light of nature, with particular emphasis on the following parts and assertions: I. That according to the light of nature and natural reason, the visible world was not eternal, but had a beginning; II. That if there could be any imaginable doubt thereof, yet by the necessary evidence of natural light it does appear that mankind had a beginning, and that the successive generations of men were in their original form; III. That this truth is evident by demonstrative reason and arguments; IV. That there are moral evidences of the truth of this assertion, which are herein particularly expanded and examined; V. That those great philosophers that asserted this origination of mankind, both ancient and modern, that rendered it by hypothesis different from that of Moses, were mistaken--here the hypotheses of Aristotle, Plato, and others are examined, and the absurdity and impossibility of their theories are detected; VI. That the current author's theory explaining the creation of man and of the world, in general, abstractly considered without relation to the divine inspiration of the writer, is according to reason, and preferable to the sentiments of other philosophers; and VII. That the author has concluded the whole of this work with certain corollaries and deductions, necessarily flowing from the things thus asserted, as well touching the existence, the wisdom, power, and providence of Almighty God, as touching both the duty and happiness of mankind"--Foreword.

Download or read book Black Sun Imperium written by Phagos Angmar Hoshigaoka Pa and published by . This book was released on 2019-05 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why are some of us remembered for all time, while the vast majority of mankind is forgotten after death? How is it possible that some of us attain godlike qualities, a deified status, and are referred to by mankind for all time, while the majority struggles in all futility to even establish a part of their power in the world?These are mysteries presented to us, and for Aeons mankind tried to figure out what those specific properties are which make of man a Being of Greatness. What did people like Hitler, Disney, Ghandi and Crowley exactly do that made them known, loved or hated among mankind? How did the gods of Egypt became deified? Why does the name of Tammuz (Nimrod) still echo in numerous religious scripts? Why is Jesus Christ still remembered, even worshipped, after more than 2000 years? Why exactly would Lucifer choose to break with the Creator, no longer willing to do His bidding? What did a philosopher like Friedrich Nietzsche truly see which made him write his critical Works of Ecce Homo, The Antichrist and Human, all too Human? How is it possible that Pharaoh Akhenaten, known as the Heretic King, emerges from history with such power and intensity while in his time the people did everything to wipe out every trace of his existence? Why does a character like Darth Vader appeal to many of us so intensely? What is this force that reveals profound wisdom, its Keys of Power and a Deified Lordship to only a few and brings an avalanche of lunacy down upon the many?In this controversial and confronting work written by Phagos A. Hoshigaoka, the reader will be given the knife to pierce through the veils of what precisely divides mankind from the gods and what will aid the one who aspires, to initiate and to set foot on the Dark Path of Sovereignty, even when he finds himself in the most difficult and confusing of circumstances. The author comes with a Noesis that will defy your limitations, challenges the Status Quo and put your Sense of Reality and Aspiration to the test.Black Sun Imperium is a work that will carefully unveil the nature of the Black Sun and which will prove to be valuable in daily life, as it aids you to build and strengthen your Soul through profound understanding and practical methods of implementation which were once wielded by the Ancient Darklords. In this work, the layers will be peeled off concerning society and how it manipulates you through more mediums and schemes than you believe possible, and which intends to sweep your identity off the map. By scrutinizing this, it also provides you with the assets to intercept and untangle this for good by using the comprehension of the force of the Black Sun. The immense power of the Black Sun is explained concerning our Self and our World, and it reveals why it affects the world so deeply in, for instance, the times of Babel and during World War II. This realistic work is very suitable for both new and experienced Darksiders who do not fear brutal honesty and who practically aspire to become Heavy Caliber, Powerful and Eminent Darklords amongst mankind, those who are not afraid to step over the edge in order to cross the Abyss to Deification and by its revelations, encouraged by using the Power of the Black Sun in order to turn things to their advantage. It is never too late to step down the Path of Black Illumination if you desire it, whether you are 24, 40 or 74 years of age, whether Sith, Dark Elf, Dragon, Vampire, a Witchdoctor or a Lofcraftian Black Emperor in Essence, whether you feel the deep desire to become a Darklord among mankind, secretly or openly transforming yourself and bending reality to your Will to forge your own Empire. This book gives the new Darksiders a headstart, and the more experienced an expanded point of view. As notorious as the Power of the Black Sun is, this work certainly is not for the faint of heart, but then again, it is definitely not for the small of mind either.
