Interesting Architecture ancient and modern

Evola considered sex as being "the greatest magical force in nature", and he fiercely opposed homosexuality, viewing it as a dysfunctional undermining of the magnetic polarity and complementary nature of the two sexes, and thus of the possibility of erotic transcendence. "In a civilization where equality is the standard, where differences are not linked, where promiscuity is in favor, where the ancient idea of 'being true to oneself' means nothing anymore—in such a splintered and materialistic society, it is clear that this phenomenon of regression and homosexuality should be particularly welcome, and therefore it is no way a surprise to see the alarming increase in homosexuality and the 'third sex' in the latest 'democratic' period, or an increase in sex changes to an extent unparalleled in other eras" (The Metaphysics of Sex, p. 64).

Evola refers to Plotinus, who deemed homosexual loves to be shameful and abnormal, like diseases of degenerate persons "which do not arise from the essence of being and are not the outcome of the development thereof" (Enneads, III). Ancient Aryo-Zoroastrian view on homosexuality, as exemplified in the Vendidad, elicits Evola's full approval: sodomites were classed among the ranks of those criminals to be destroyed on the spot: "Four men can be put to death by any one without an order from the Dastur (high priest): the Nasu-burner (cannibal), the highwayman, the Sodomite, and the criminal taken in the deed" (Vendidad, 8:73-74[8]). With equal vehemence, Evola scorned modern pornography, denouncing it as "dreadfully squalid not only in the facts and scenes described, but in its essence" (The Metaphysics of Sex, p. 4).

"...when homosexuality is not 'natural' or else cannot be explained in terms of incomplete, inborn forms of sexual development, it must have the character of a deviation, vice or a perversion."

Julius Evola "The Metaphysics of Sex."

You are quoting somebody else quoting evola, and that is not an accurate way to form a judgement especially as the original works are available .
For example the last 2 sentences of your second quote above, they are taken from page 4 , now if you glance back up at the quotes i put on my previous post, you will see that i quote exactly from page 4 regarding that porn quote .
I put it to you, that if you cant detect how your quoters quote on evola is completly out of context and therfore misleading to what evola actually said about porn ...in its proper context... then we are really percieving from completly different states and unlikely to find much in alignment regarding him

I also believe sex to be the greatest magical force and in the "magnetic polarity and complementary nature of the two sexes", but I argue that the increase of Homosexuality is not linked to Democracy in any other way as that it's a less repressive social system, than say, any other form of government. I would not dare to say that I know if homosexuality is a dysfunctional state of ones psyche...do you? Maybe it is but I am glad homosexuals don't get hunted down these days and killed on the spot. If they are "sick", how sick is the mind of a person that wants to see the sick being punished? ...hating the sick wont help much.

If were talking about plotinus . then yes i agree with your opinion above on homos

I remain sceptical. Evola is a idealist, but I know mankind too well as not to acknowledge that it is especially the idealist himself that is part of the bigger problem, just like priests who are forced to a celibate life in a vain attempt to attain higher powers become some of the most depraved sexual predators. What I also can't find in Evola's work is on how he is to achieve his idealist ideas. He seems to glorify the past without being aware of the fact that he has no knowledge if that glorious past was really all that perfect..it was simply another time with other forms of social repression, and last but not least he does not seem to comprehend that he is only one idealist in a sea of many...as his thinking process seems to be quite absolutist, even though you say he isn't forcing anyone to agree with his ideas, he still pretends his assessment is the ultimate truth. To him his opinions are facts, because what one believes is all there is, listen to the vampire....you get my drift. Let's say I am just as opinionated like he was, with the difference of me differenciating between my opinion and truth based on irrefutable facts. He seems to think his opnions are the truth and are therfore applicable to everyone. I don't like this kind of attitude at all.
How can you truly say these things about him if you have not read a large portion of the works, unless you have recently , and remember im not his apologist or absolute supporter, i merely reported my affection and respect for him by the way he writes

"...when homosexuality is not 'natural' or else cannot be explained in terms of incomplete, inborn forms of sexual development, it must have the character of a deviation, vice or a perversion."

Julius Evola "The Metaphysics of Sex."

Seems a fair summary, is a deviation or a vice really only bad ? and a perversion , these are just signifiers of unatural or not normal as perceived by the writer, not necessary evil

A homophobic occultist.....who is to say homosexuals are not "normal" or "natural"
besides the obvious problem of not being able to recreate oneself in the flesh....
Anyone can say as they choose in a free society , you support that dont you ?

Is their sex less magical? I am not able to say..

In order to realize the microcosmic conditions for the expansion of power of the ADI BUDDHA, an androgynous body of a yogi is needed, that is, the internalization of the maha mudra (inner woman) which we have described above. This obsessive conception, that absolute power can be conjured up through the “mystic marriage” of the masculine and feminine principles within a single person, also had European alchemy in its thrall. We are once again confronted with an event which plays so central a role in both cultures (Western and Eastern) that the equation Tantrism = alchemy ought to be taken most seriously. At the end of the “great work” (opus magnum) of the Westerners we likewise encounter that transpersonal and omnipotent super being of whom it is said that it is “at the same time the controlling principle (masculine) and the controlled principle (feminine) and therefore androgynous” (Evola, 1989, p. 48).

This guy cracks me up, what a jerk

I think anyone who knows even a little bit about tantra disagrees with his notion of the femine being the "controlled principle"..that's a man with a deep problem right there.
If you look at the words preceding that "controlled principle" you will find .......of whom it is said that it is.....so that is evola presenting someone elses conception .....you dig mein friend

The masculine is the electrical and the feminine is the magnetic principle..it is the magnetic power that binds electricity, my dad is a electrical engineer, ask him if you are not certain.
A changing electric field creates a changing magnetic field , a changing magnetic field creates a changing electric field
Actually , if you had read Eatmos, you would have read evolas comments in magnetic attraction which i already typed out and posted on the other forum but did not repeat that feat this time.
And masculine and feminine are in both sexes

In technical terms it is actually the other way around if one wants to talk about "control".

Ask QSC, (about chi and yin yang principle) women basically "suck" the energy of men...., the masculine is bound by attraction to the feminine, she gives him DIRECTION.
One needs the other, none is "controlled" as both keep each other in motion.

Thanks! I am really done with this CHARLATAN.

Mary Hill Museum in Washington...


http://www.maryhillmuseum.org/stonehenge.html

Visited this place almost a decade ago. I remember they had white peacocks running the grounds.

I didn't realize Germany was so...religious.

The destruction of New York city (including the Twin Towers) sculpted right on the building… Strange occult symbols on the floor… Weird rituals being performed in the sanctuary… Home of the Temple of Understanding which admittedly seeks to instate a new world religion… This cathedral is definitively “different”, as some people might say. But the “difference” lies in the fact that the cathedral is in fact a temple of Neo-Pagan-Bordeline-Satanic-the-Environment-is-more-important-than-human-life beliefs. I personally couldn’t care less about each individual’s beliefs, but to trick unsuspecting church goers into an occult house of worship is nothing less than Evil.

The Apocalyptic Pillar
On the western facade of the building, stonemasons have sculpted numerous scenes that seem oddly out of place for a Cathedral. The most striking one is the chilling depiction of the destruction of New York city and its landmarks.

The scene above was done in 1997, four years before the destruction of the Twin Towers. Other recognizable skyscrapers are the Chrysler Building and the Citigroup center.
