"How badly do we need the Spartan virtues of Geburah (god-consciousness of war) in this age of sentimentality and the neuroses."

"The policy of non-resistance to evil can only be pursued satisfactorily in a well-policed society; it has never been tried with success under frontier conditions."

"Meekness, mercy, purity and love are made the ideal of Christian character, and as Nietzsche truly points out, these are slave virtues. There should be room in our ideal for the virtues of the ruler and leader-courage, energy, justice and integrity."

"I knew that there can be in man a dynamic force that bears down opposition by sheer momentum; but this can only be in a man when he is as cruel as the sea and cares nothing for destruction or self-destruction,"

"for the twin poles of this force are courage and cruelty, and there is a nobility about it that the world has forgotten in the cult of love."

P.S. #1: Dion Fortune was the pen name of Violet Mary Virth, a very well-educated and intelligent lady. She is hard to categorize, as she loved mystical Christianity as much as pagan philosophy.

P.S. #2: I've quoted The Daily Lama because I like his direct style. I am somewhat more forgiving with stupid pandemic policies. It was a new situation for our, eh, so-called "experts" and "leaders". But patience is running out. Geburah is calling.

P.S. #3: Try to understand and feel-dream these Dion quotes on a very deep cultural and psychological level. It transcends the rational faculties, even though it is in accord with logic. Geburah is an archetypal and dangerous psychic creative force inside of you.
