A very interesting read, to be sure. It has spawned too many thoughts for me to put here in a comment section. I've read a lot of Evola and Guenon, but haven't read Lings. Will have to add that to my already overfull reading stack. I heartily agree with the gist of your essay here. I think especially now there are two traps I see people fall into: 1) latching onto men, especially politicians, as saviors; 2) going full blackpill and embracing despair and nihilism. In the end, no matter how difficult, we must maintain faith in Christ. Look forward to more thoughts on this.

I wrote this nearly 10 years ago, and I was clearly trying to say some of the things that you talk about here with the return of the King: https://golgonooza.blogspot.com/2014/03/the-russians-are-coming.html

Good luck with the new venture, John. Now is certainly the time to start something like this. I look forward to reading your monthly essays
