The Lost Letters, Part 3: Order of the Black Sun

Part 3 of the lost letters

Within the world exists two manifesting forces that are responsible for moving mankind. The first being the material, the second being the spiritual. It is clear that according to Plato, he recognized that there are objects in this world that must be move by external forces and a second class of objects that can move themselves and other objects. The second class of objects he explained were those harboring a soul. Therefore, it is clear that the higher functions of man reflects this same formula as well. Man can be moved by two forces, the first being the material, the other being the spiritual. For example, man is moved by the material to fulfill his fleshy desires such as hunger, thrust, sex and pleasure. However, man is also moved by the spirit which is responsible for creating such things as art, poetry, music, and civilization. If seen form an esoteric perspective, it is clear that the material motive for man is earthy, but the spiritual motive for man is one that taps into the world beyond. 

Therefore, within in the conundrum of the 21st century, we see that the molding of civilization is also a reflection of the motives of man. It can either be molded by the material, or it can either be molded by the spiritual. However, it has become clear that in the post-World War II era, it is the material that dictates human interaction. The triumph of liberalism has made man the sovereign entity within society and has sanctioned a plethora of new ideas and life styles that allow man to engage in his earthly pleasures, free from the detriment of social stigma. As a matter of fact, it is even encouraged by the liberal state that men do so, as the back bone behind such a philosophy is that man is solely motivated by self-interest. It should be duly noted that to build a civilization on anything but this premise is only setting it up for collapse. 

Yet it is high time we say Nay to such a device. Only when man is moved by the spirit does he reach into the realm of the divine and pull from it that which separates us from the lowly beasts. Music, art, poetry, these are all manifestations of the spirit which awaken the divine within us and motivates us to strive for it in our own daily existence. 

Therefore, the Order of the Black Sun denies the motivations of man as being only of the earthly pleasures and asks of man to strive for more than what can be achieved by his fleshy sovereignty. It asks of man that only when he is willing to put an idea above himself, and one that is product of the spirt at that, can he truly achieve his full potential as the divine creation of god. 

The ubermence: a human being that transcends the modern world and dwells in the realm of the spiritual, only to look down at the herd on a higher plain of conciseness.  

Early Political Conceptions of the Order of the Black Sun

World War II was more than a war that shook the fabric of modern existence. It was the very battle for Man's soul. The forces of Materialism (liberalism and communism) against the forces of the Spirit (fascism) would come to define how man would structure himself in the years to come. In the west, this debate is done however. Liberalism is the end of history for man. However, in the world, this battle has just begun. The forces of Islam wage a relentless holy war on the west in the name of God. This is partly the result of the liberal west and its agenda to implement its ideals overtly and subvertlty throughout the rest of the world. Only when the West wakes up to its own depravity and lack of moral guidance which have become tarnished due to liberalism, will she truly be able to defeat the enemy of Islam and usher in a new world order that is based on western dominance. A new world order that values not the individual’s triumph over the community, but a western dominance similar to Rome where the will of the community is guided by the will of the state, and where the individual feel’s his material impulses subdued under the spiritual strength of the organic collective. 

If one is to ask if the Order of the Black Sun is fascist, the inquirer of the question would be close to understanding the political philosophy of the organization. However, fundamental differences lies between the fascist conception of society and the black sun’s. The black sun is instead an integral order. It differs from fascists on many key fundamental aspects. For one, where fascism seeks to create the organic state through a centralized authoritarian state, the Order of the Black Sun seeks to create the organic state with a dependence on regionalism and localism, leaving the major social engineering questions to local elites who can better implement a more conservative approach because their direct contact with their subjects. However, like fascism, the Order of the Black Sun is revolutionary, and is conservative. Where conservatism according to traditional elites is seen as a moral good in if of itself, the revolutionary conservative sees the implementation of conservative principals as a means to an end; the end being the moral fulfillment of the state and its contribution to its health and strength. The Order of the Black Sun differs with fascism because though it might have the similar intention of creating the organic state by reining all the competing interests of the state for the latter's benefit, It recognizes the crucial juncture that in order to truly create the organic state, an organic conception of life must rise from the bottom up. For example the individual is more spiritually in-tuned with his family than he is with his church, more spiritually in-tuned with his church than he is with his community, and more spiritually in-tuned with his community then he is with his nation. Therefore organic nationalism must be built form the ground up and create almost like a reverse totalitarianism in which the national currents are manifested upward as opposed to downwards. It, like fascism, is not a revolution against the state but a state turned revolutionary. However, the Order of the Black Sun is not against the idea of an authoritarian leader or a body council so long it fosters elements that help to build the organic state, or in times of crisis, where the national will can be directed in its defense. 

To be Within the Order of the Black Sun

The Order of the Black Sun is not an organization that one can just join. It is not an order that can be fermented and then created like a book club. There is no perfect conception of the state, all is subject to flaw and breakdown. Maybe when all men become philosophers can we truly have a flawless state but until that day comes we are stuck in the mud of political corruption, societal decay and moral decadence. Therefore, for one to reach the highest pinnacle of what man can achieve, he must break the shackles of liberal programming and come to see the flaws in everything, including himself. Reason is his only  friend. He must be able to see the world with the lens of half ideologies and half-truths. Nay, he must strive in the path of half-truths as if it is his only sustenance. He must become a super rationalist and see the world through self-interest and through the rational lenses as opposed to an ideological one. 

The second hardest part deals with the purification of the soul. Only when the soul is purified as if a stream of cold water has been dumped on it can the individual truly know what then distinguishes right from wrong. The liberal society is devised in such a way that flips the natural notions of man’s sense of right and wrong in a frenzy, like in a washing machine. From birth and through child hood, we have a common conception of what is right and what is wrong, but it is only when those conceptions come into conflict with the demands and interests of our society do we then start to give way to decadence and moral decay. Therefore, one must find purity within his own soul so he may block out the white noise and listen once against to that spark of the divine that lays within us and guides us on that one golden path of truth. 

 It is hard for an individual to archive such a pinnacle in human excellence because every fiber of our society dissuades us from attempting to achieve such a pivot. It’s actually within the societies interest that an individual not do so, as the wheels of liberalism can continue to turn on the fuel of materialism, consumerism, decadence and depravity. Man’s natural state is in the dwellings of purity. This society, an artificial construct based off self-interest, is framed with the interests of confusion in mind. 

Only when a handful of individuals have been able to do this, should they then try to find one another and start to construct what is then the building blocks towards the Order of the Black Sun. The Starter individuals must be on the same par as to achieving this pinnacle of excellence so that they may be able to guide others out of the cave and into the light.   

As demonstrated, the Order of the Black Sun is not only a political order, but also a religious order that gives man a doctrine for the purification of the soul. Purification of the soul is an important aspect when one is included in the order. It has been frequently asked how can one change the world when one can't change himself. Therefore, the order asks of the individual to change the world and to change himself. Once an individual has been able to break free from the temptations of liberal society and realign himself with the wrong and right notions that were instilled into him as a child, can he truly then see the shining light directing him towards the righteous path. On the righteous path he exits the cave and comes into the light where he is confronted by the glaring sun of truth radiating into his face. Only then does he become an ubermenceh, only then does seek out the proper tools necessary to cleanse his soul, only then does he become a philosopher king.
