The Wrath of Gods: Esoteric and Occult in the Modern World
>We have entered indeed the final phase of Kali-yuga, the darkest period of this «dark age,» this state of dissolution from which we cannot escape but through a cataclysm, since it is not about a simple straightening that would be necessary, but about a total renovation. Disorder and confusion [the Great Disarray] reign in all the areas; they have reached a point which surpasses by far all that we have seen until now, and … threaten to invade the entire world … it seems to be the sign of the most serious crisis encountered by humanity in the present cycle. (René Guénon, La Crise du monde moderne)

The Quest for the Center
>The world is in agony, the three pillars of a healthy society: the profound faith in God and aspiration for His Love and Wisdom; the submission to the spiritual authority; respect for parents and teachers, are all broken, and we witness a sombre concert, a devilish harmony between the receivers and the givers, because priests, parents and teachers are also “broken”, not all of them, not yet (which is why the world still exists), and then, we have the frauds, the false prophets who call themselves heroes and saviours, when in fact they are tools of the counter-initiatory forces. What our world lacks is the Traditional Spirit. René Guénon revealed the essence in a unique manner and warned that, without recovering this Traditional Spirit, the world will end, sooner or later.

Money: The Evil Eye
>There is no doubt that today “Money is the Devil’s Eye.” René Guénon wrote an entire chapter about how the concept of “money” decayed, from a traditional to a profane and modern level. Today, after half a century, the degeneration described by Guénon has reached its nadir, as illustrated by the present “economic crisis” and the recurrent “bailouts,” a crisis that refutes the absurd theory of “continual progress.” In addition to the numerous political, psychological and social implications, which are not our concern, since our viewpoint is purely traditional, the crisis has reinforced an already well-known fact: money tops everything else, and the modern world loudly admitted that nothing is more important than money, that the modern mentality cannot imagine a life without monetary slavery and money as the main aspiration, which makes the “bailouts” vital for maintaining the profane and infrahuman lifestyle.
