Title: The Knowledge of the Waters: The Primordial Force and the Path to Mastery
Tags: #Evola #Traditionalism #PrimordialForce #GreatWork #Magic #Initiation #Metaphysics #Esotericism #Mastery #Waters
1. The Primordial Force: At the core of all existence lies a primordial, chaotic force—craving, restlessness, and an insatiable yearning. This force drives the cycles of creation and destruction, attraction and repulsion, terror and desire. It is the essence of becoming, the fiery mixture of cosmic nature that knows no rest.
2. The Great Work: The Magistery of Creation and the Magistery of self-realization are one and the same. The "Great Work" involves mastering this primordial force, aligning oneself with the universal principle of transformation and power.
3. The Living Reality: This force is not an abstract concept or myth but a living, powerful reality—the spirit and vitality of the Earth and Life. It is hidden from ordinary consciousness by the illusion of material phenomena, revealed only to those who have reached a certain level of growth and strength.
4. The Force Within: This force manifests in moments of sudden danger, hunger, terror, or passion. It is deeper than the will, consciousness, or Self—something absolute and untamed that takes charge in critical moments.
5. The Chain of Illusion: Humans are bound by this force like a chained dog. Even the "highest things" are secretly governed by it. True freedom comes only through recognizing and mastering this force, not through superficial attempts to oppose it.
6. The Radical Humidity: In Tradition, this force is symbolized as the "Waters" or Humidum Radicale—the primal, chaotic substance that is the source of all life and transformation. It is the "earthly Venus," the cosmic matrix, and the serpentine power of Shakti.
7. Mastery of the Force: To master this force is to dominate nature itself—fire, earth, air, water, life, and death. The "Science of the Magi" teaches the art of creating something immortal and impassive, free from the chaotic Waters, and subjugating the cosmic nature within oneself.
8. The Conquerors: Those who master this force are the "Survivors of the Waters," the "Lords of Life and Salvation." They are the Dragon Slayers, the Dominators of the Bull, and the Consecrated to the Sun. They have transformed through Ammon’s power and Wisdom, balancing the lunar force of desire with the solar force of will.
9. The Razor’s Edge: The path to mastery is a painful struggle, akin to walking on a razor’s edge. Fear and interruption lead to disaster. One must proceed with unwavering will, resisting the swirling energy of the Waters until it is fully subdued.
10. The First Teaching: To begin the Work, one must become insensitive to good and evil, upright, absolute, and naked. Learn to will without yearning, to act without tiring, and to resist all bonds of sensuality and passion. The Force does not give itself up—it must be taken. Dare to say, "I WANT."
Knowledge of the Waters
At the core of all existence lies a primordial Force, an insatiable craving that drives all beings. This force is restless, wild, and untamed, embodying chaos, transformation, and the eternal cycle of creation and destruction. It is the essence of life itself, a fiery, chaotic flux that knows no rest.
The Wise have described this force as both wondrous and terrifying, naming it the Universal Fire, ὓλη (matter), Green Dragon, Quintessence, and the Great Magical Agent. It is the principle behind both the cosmic order and the individual’s path to self-realization. This force is not an abstract concept or myth but a living, powerful reality—the spirit and vitality of the Earth and Life itself.
Humanity remains largely unaware of this force, shielded by the illusion of material reality. Only at a certain stage of growth, and with the strength to endure its revelation, does this veil lift, allowing the eye of Knowledge to open.
This force manifests in moments of sudden danger—a speeding car, a collapsing crevice, or an electrified object. In these moments, something deeper than your will or consciousness takes control, revealing a primal, untamed power within you. It is the same force that drives hunger, terror, desire, and the blind thirst for life. It is the root of your instincts, habits, and character, the chain that binds you, even when you believe yourself free.
Do not be deceived: even the "highest" aspects of your being are subject to this force. The more they appear independent, the more deeply they obey it. This force cares not for forms or reasons; it is a wild, intoxicating power that reasserts itself through imagination and suggestion. It is like fear, sleep, or passion—the more you resist it, the stronger it becomes.
This force is the life within you, yet it is not you. You do not own it; it owns you. Your will, consciousness, and self are external to it, parasitic upon its deeper functions. Dig deeper, and you will find that even your will and self are not truly yours. You are not the life within you; you endure it. The illusion of a permanent "Self" is shattered when you realize its dependence on the body and the force that sustains it.
Cross the threshold and detach from your self. Feel the rhythmic sensation of this force, expanding beyond the notions of "me" and "not-me." It is nameless, limitless, and wild, pervading all of nature, carrying all beings in its irresistible flow. This is the KNOWLEDGE OF THE "WATERS."
In our Tradition, these "waters" are symbolized as the Humidum Radicale, the earthly Venus, or the Original Snake. They represent the primordial, demiurgic power—the Magic of God, the substance from which all things emerge. This force is indifferent to good and evil, capable of taking any form, and is the source of all transformation.
To master this force is to dominate nature itself—fire, earth, air, water, life, and death. The "Science of the Magi" seeks to create something immortal, free from the Waters, and to subjugate this cosmic nature within oneself. This is the secret of the Art of the Sun and Power, the "Mighty Strength of all Strengths."
Do not let fear or doubt hinder you. The Matter of the Great Work lies within your deepest craving, closer to you than your own self. Arouse it, resist it, and experience its wild power. If you can conceive of a greater strength, what can resist it?
On one shore lies ignorance, passivity, and intoxication. On the other, virile men, heroic souls, and the Conquerors of Life. These are the Survivors of the Waters, the Lords of Life and Salvation, who have mastered the force and turned it into a magical power that obeys them. They are the Dragon Slayers, the Dominators of the Bull, transformed by the power of Ammon and Wisdom.
To approach this Art is to walk a razor’s edge. Fear and interruption lead to disaster. You must go all the way, for the energy you provoke will crash down upon you if you falter. Prepare yourself, fix your eyes on the goal, and learn to discern the ethereal light that carries the first secret of the Work.
Become insensitive to good and evil, upright, and absolute. Learn to will without yearning, fear, or regret. Create a cold, hard, and flexible power. The Secret of the Force lies in willing without ceasing—never yearning. Free yourself from sensuality and passion, and become the absolute ruler of your soul.
Resist, and the powers of nature will obey you. Desire nothing, fear nothing, and you will rule over all. But enjoy nothing until you have first conquered it within yourself.
The Force does not yield. Take it. Dare.
When you are free, balanced, strong, and pure, and have slain desire, say: "I WANT."
This is the first teaching. The door is open. THE FORCE IS IN YOU.
Metaphysical part:
To grasp these concepts, we must first clarify the symbolism of the soul as a demon, genius, or double. In Classical Antiquity, the demon or double represented a profound force—the essence of life itself—that governed bodily and psychic events beyond ordinary consciousness, yet shaped an individual's existence and destiny. This entity was closely tied to the mystical powers of race and blood. The demon resembled the lares, the mystical guardians of a lineage, as noted by Macrobius: "The gods sustain us—they nourish our bodies and guide our souls." The demon's relationship to ordinary consciousness mirrors that between the individuating principle (a supra-individual force transcending birth and death) and the individuated principle (consciousness bound by the body and external world, destined for dissolution or fleeting survival).
In Nordic tradition, the Valkyrie parallels the demon, often merging with the fylgja, a spiritual force shaping human destiny. As kynfylgja, the Valkyrie embodies the mystical power of blood, akin to the Roman lares. Similarly, the Fravashi in Aryo-Iranian tradition represents an inner life force tied to ancestral powers and war, serving as both a life-sustaining entity and a terrifying goddess of battle.
This leads to the first connection: the deep soul of the race, a transcendent force within the individual, shares traits with war goddesses. Ancient Indo-Europeans held an aristocratic view of immortality, reserved for heroes who transcended ordinary existence through spiritual transformation. This transformation elevated the individual "I" into a supra-individual, immortal power symbolized by the demon. However, the demon's eruption into ordinary consciousness could cause a destructive crisis, akin to a living experience of death, explaining its association with death deities. In Nordic tradition, warriors encounter their Valkyrie at the moment of death or mortal peril.
Religious asceticism seeks to induce this crisis through mortification and surrender to the divine, while heroic traditions achieve it through active, Dionysian impulses. Sacred techniques like dance evoke deep forces, and war represents the highest expression of this process. Combat, symbolized by the Latin ludere (to play, to fight), liberates latent forces, aligning the demon, lares, and individuating "I" with entities like the Furies, Valkyries, and Fravashi. These entities, often linked to death, also guide warriors to victory, symbolizing the triumph of the "I" over destructive forces.
The mystical conception of victory in ancient traditions reflects a correspondence between physical and metaphysical realms. Victory signifies both material success and spiritual rebirth, as the warrior overcomes internal and external threats. The sacred nature of victory is evident in the transfiguration of the victor, celebrated as a divine figure. This tradition, shared across Aryan cultures, connects light, solar glory, victory, and divine royalty as real, latent potentials rather than abstract concepts.
In summary, the demon, Valkyrie, and Fravashi symbolize a transcendent, supra-individual force tied to race, blood, and destiny. Their association with war and death reflects the transformative power of heroic combat, leading to spiritual victory and immortality. This tradition underscores the sacred meaning of victory as both an external triumph and an inner mystical rebirth.
Title: Reclaiming the Divine Self: A Path to Liberation
Tags: #Evola #Traditionalism #SpiritualDevelopment #SelfRealization #Esotericism
1. Reject the Illusory Self: The first step on the Way is to discard the limited, habitual self-image. True self-awareness transcends space, time, and power, aligning with the inner imagination of the "I."
2. Reclaim Inner Reality: Modern man diminishes himself, trapped in self-imposed limitations. He must awaken to his true nature, shedding the chains of thought and action that confine him to a lesser existence.
3. Transcend the Medusan Gaze: Man petrifies the world around him, reducing nature to laws and hypotheses. He must break free from this reductive view and restore the living, dynamic essence of the universe.
4. Man as Cosmic Center: The human being is the axis of the universe. A shift in his consciousness holds more weight than the material cosmos. His body’s limits are illusory; his essence extends into the cosmic expanse.
5. Liberate the Petrified World: Man must free his surroundings from their frozen state, recognizing the conscious energies within earth, water, air, and fire. These forces are extensions of his own divine substance.
6. Embrace the Mystery: Beyond beauty, man must intuit the hidden reality of things. The unknown must be affirmed and felt, for it is the source of true power and creativity.
7. Rhythmic Contemplation: Spiritual development requires a rhythmic, periodic engagement with esoteric concepts. These must be felt, not just understood, to penetrate the subconscious and transform the self.
8. Cultivate Greatness and Power: Contemplation of one’s being and the world generates a sense of grandeur. This feeling must be retained and internalized, becoming a force that liberates and elevates.
9. Integration of Vision: The new vision of reality must flow into the subconscious, gradually becoming a lived experience. What begins as a concept evolves into a palpable force, marking the dawn of liberation.
10. Break the Shell of Limitation: Daily life forms a restrictive shell around the individual. To progress, this barrier must be shattered, allowing the new, liberated self to emerge and build a life aligned with the divine.
The first step for a man seeking the Way is to reject the habitual image he holds of himself. He can only begin to say "I" when this word aligns with the inner vision of self-awareness, free from the constraints of space, time, or power.
Man must reclaim the sense of his true reality. Currently, he diminishes himself, feeling smaller and more limited than he truly is. Every thought and action adds another bar to his prison, another veil over his vision, and another denial of his power. He confines himself to the limits of his body and binds himself to the earth, like an eagle choosing to crawl as a snake, ignoring its wings.
Man not only ignores and distorts himself but also reenacts the myth of Medusa, turning everything around him into stone. He measures nature with weights and rules, reducing life to petty laws and explaining mysteries with trivial hypotheses. He freezes the universe into a static unity, placing himself timidly at its periphery, as if he were an insignificant accident, devoid of power or hope.
Yet, man is the center of the universe. The vast material masses of the cosmos pale in significance compared to the slightest shift in his consciousness. The limits of his body are an illusion; he does not merely rest on the earth but extends through it into cosmic space. When he moves his thoughts or actions, the world moves with him; countless forces converge in a creative gesture, and his daily acts are but faint echoes of the divine energy flowing toward him.
Thus, he must free his surroundings from their petrification. Before understanding, he must imagine conscious energies in the earth, water, air, and fire, recognizing that natural forces are extensions of his own substance. It is not the earth that gives life to the plant, but the forces within the plant that draw life from the earth. Beyond the beauty of things, he must sense their mystery—an obscure yet intuited reality. The unknown must be boldly affirmed and felt in its full power.
A special attitude is essential for this perspective, as with any esoteric path. What matters is to initiate a rhythm: presenting a concept periodically and rhythmically to consciousness, so it is grasped not just as a thought but as a feeling. Contemplating one’s being and the world in this way generates a sense of greatness and power, which must be retained and deeply internalized.
Through this, a relationship of realization with this new vision will form, first flowing into the subconscious and then gradually integrating into feeling. A new condition will emerge: what was once a mere concept will become the presence of a force, leading to a state of liberation upon which a new life can be built.
All inner development exercises will fail unless one breaks the shell of limitation formed by daily life, which persists in the subconscious even after a shift in perspective.
Metaphysical part:
According to the alchemical Taoism, the condition for immortality is the actual construction of a subtle form to replace the gross body, achieved through a process of sublimation that returns the body to its "ethereal" state, the source from which all things emanate. This involves extracting and concentrating the immortal and nonhuman elements that form the foundation of ordinary life. In this tradition, as in Western Hermeticism, which similarly opposes mystical tendencies, immortality is tied to the concept of "condensation" or "coagulation." It is not a matter of simply turning a light on or off but rather a return of the self to a state of individualization.
It is worth emphasizing the positive aspect of physical regeneration in these traditions. A modern Hindu alchemist, Narayāna-Swami, articulates this clearly, noting that the same teachings often underlie the symbols of ancient Western Hermetic literature. He describes the life force that, phase by phase, evolves the physical and psychic organization of man, much like a plant growing from a seed. This power, once fully developed, underlies every function and pattern of the organism. The goal of Hindu alchemy is to infuse consciousness into this vital force, integrating it fully, and then to retrace and reawaken all phases of development, achieving a creative connection with the completed form of one’s body. This regenerated state allows the individual to directly engage with the innermost source of corporeal life—the force behind the heartbeat, breath, and higher physiological functions.
When this transmutation is complete, it signifies a shift from mere physical transformation to a change in functional essence. The regenerated individual’s relationship with their body is fundamentally altered, marking a new existential condition. As Jacob Boehme suggests, when the ego is merely attached to the body, it is as if the body generates and shapes the ego, which then rises and falls with the organism. However, when the center of the body is rooted in the life force—the generative and sustaining power behind the body—the dynamic changes entirely. This life force transcends the body it animates, capable of moving from one form to another like a flame jumping between logs. Those dominated by this force, which exists beyond ordinary consciousness, remain largely unaffected by bodily dissolution or death. Death does not touch them, just as the capacity for speech is not lost when words are left unspoken or interrupted, remaining ever-present and ready to be expressed.
Title: The Initiatic Attitude – Beyond Passive Reception
Tags: #Tradition #Esotericism #SpiritualDiscipline #Initiation #InnerTransformation
1. Active Engagement – Initiatic teaching demands active participation, not passive consumption. It transforms essence when received with the right spiritual attitude.
2. Occult Bond – Spiritual achievements of one individual resonate occultly with others, creating an invisible chain of transmission beyond mere intellectual exchange.
3. Beyond Intellectualism – Esoteric knowledge must not be grasped only with the mind; it must generate living images and be felt in the heart.
4. Purified Feeling – A detached yet intense emotional state must be cultivated—free from personal reactions, centered in calm inner warmth.
5. Will as Tension – The will must be exercised independently of external goals, like a coiled force before action, energizing the subtle body.
6. Triple Integration – True reception unifies thinking, feeling, and willing simultaneously, awakening dormant centers of being.
7. Inversion of Process – Unlike profane learning, esotericism begins with inner experience, from which doctrine later crystallizes—not the reverse.
8. No Blind Faith – Esotericism rejects dogma; it requires direct experience, free from preconceptions, validated only through inner action.
9. Beyond Rigid Formulas – The spirit must flow beyond logical encapsulation, allowing words to evoke hidden resonances within the soul.
10. New Existential Basis – Mastery of this discipline restructures life, thought, and perception, aligning them with higher, transcendent principles.
"The doctrine is not an external teaching—it is the ordering of what has been realized within."
The Attitude Toward Initiatic Teaching
These reflections are directed at those who have not only studied my previous explanations but have also felt and willed when encountering transmitted teachings.
In esoteric knowledge, passive reception is insufficient. Teachings are not given merely for intellectual comprehension but to spur inner transformation. When received with the correct spiritual disposition, they alter one’s very being. Overcoming an obstacle in this domain does not benefit only the individual; an occult bond exists among men, allowing others to partake in one’s spiritual realizations—even if the realized remains distant and silent. However, when the path is articulated in thought, this natural participation is illuminated by conscious awareness and free individuality. Thus, one must learn to receive teachings properly.
The mind alone must not grasp at what is communicated (this is the first barrier that stifles esoteric transmission). Instead, thoughts must generate living images, which must then be felt. The described state must be inwardly shaped—almost as if "invented"—while maintaining a corresponding emotional disposition.
This is not ordinary feeling but a purified state: an inner calm, a listening with the "ear of the heart," distinct from instinctive emotional reactions. To cultivate this, recall a past emotion, then strip away its external cause and its pleasure-pain duality. What remains is an intense yet collected warmth within the heart. This exercise is crucial and simpler than it appears.
Such refined feeling preserves freedom while shifting experience from the brain to subtler centers. The teaching is internalized, no longer seeming external but arising from within—like a remembrance that illuminates previously obscure inner experiences.
Simultaneously, a willful attitude must be cultivated—not as goal-directed effort but as pure tension, akin to the poised force before breaking an object. Abstract from remembered acts of will their causes and aims, retaining only the pre-action energy. This will manifests as a vital force filling the arms and lower body, activating deeper centers. The experience differs from "remembering"; it is as if an external current merges with one’s own, amplifying it.
Thinking, feeling, and willing must unite, awakening dormant centers. Though distinct, these states must coincide. Many can achieve this through practice, marking the first liberation from physical-world laws and an initial realization of the subtle body’s unity in waking life.
This inner development revolutionizes one’s entire existence. New evidences and reference systems emerge. Life and conduct reorganize on a new foundation, and thought crystallizes into a doctrine grounded not in theory but in direct experience.
Here, the process inverts ordinary life: inner action precedes doctrine. Esotericism demands no blind faith but goodwill and freedom from preconceptions—precisely where the difficulty lies. Debate is futile when foundations differ; only through acceptance, action, and objective observation can true knowledge arise.
Doctrine must not rigidify into formulas. A margin of indeterminacy allows the spirit to flow, activating faculties stifled by mere logic. Words must carry more than their surface meaning; the listener must perceive not just the sense but its hidden resonance. What is neatly encapsulated in logic is dead to the spirit’s life.
Metaphysical part:
The hara, understood beyond its purely physical aspect, is referred to as both the general "center of man" and the "earth-center of man" (the literal subtitle of Dürckheim’s book). It is also called the seat of the One and the "basic center"—designations that are not entirely consistent. For instance, "being centered" and "being centered below" are clearly not synonymous. A more logical placement for the center would be in a median zone of the psychophysical being. This is why, across both Western and Eastern traditions, the heart (in a non-physical sense) has often been regarded as the true center of being—a doctrine prominently featured in the Upanishads and present in Western and Islamic esoteric traditions. Alternatively, the solar plexus (also understood symbolically) has sometimes been considered the "center" of human life. Thus, the doctrine of the hara as the "center" risks replacing one imbalanced displacement (upward, toward the head) with another (downward, into the belly), failing to achieve true centrality or a genuine "middle center." Additionally, the term "basic center" is misleading, as "base" and "center" (or "middle point") carry distinct connotations.
Among the traditional symbols of fire, the ignis centrum terrae—the central fire—holds a universal significance. In man, the heart occupies the center of his being, radiating life through warm blood that permeates the entire organism. The heart is luminous and fiery, embodying both intelligence and spirit, as seen in ancient Egypt, where it was regarded as the seat of spiritual understanding, not mere thought. This truth, later obscured by the false attribution of intelligence to the brain, was preserved in Dante’s intellect of love. Linguistic traces remain in expressions like "to learn by heart," revealing the heart’s higher function. Similarly, the distinction between recordari and meminisse (remembering vs. recalling) points to deeper metaphysical truths now lost to modernity. The science of language, properly understood, could restore these forgotten meanings, unveiling the hidden significance of primordial symbols.
