History is a process that takes centuries to cycle through the phases of life for a civilization that is allowed to run its natural course. The last days of one civilization are often accompanied by the new dawn of other national peoples and whole civilizations, which emerge from within or from outside that old civilization even as it is in its final stages.
Basically we propose and foresee that a new dawn is here for a new spiritual nation as the vanguard of a new civilization
Our concern is Western Civilization. While some count Western Civilization as going all the way back to Greece, and others to right after the Roman Empire ended in the West, we tend to count it as beginning in the 700’s as the older Germanic tribal civilization, which had invaded the Western Roman Empire, was finally falling before the paradigms that would become Western Civilization.
This is the cycle of history. Just as today we foresee a new dawn, so too was it in the Roman Empire by the 300’s. In the West, after a period of darkness and chaos, the new civilization took root as Western Civilization.
In reality, Western Civilization, while it’s progenitors, among whom Charlemagne, fancied themselves direct heirs of Rome, was a hybridization of the Germanic and Classical Civilizations that produced something fundamentally different than them.
We have a civilization that is over 1200 years old, it is long in the tooth as it were. And that civilization, like every other, has an expiration date and is going into its final phases with a senility and crankiness that is not at all surprising. All the symptoms of civilizational decline are there: moral depravity, disavowal of family, low birth rates, authoritarianism, corruption, and all the rest.
Western Civilization is simply old and decrepit but refuses to go away quietly and gracefully. It’s attempts to bring in new energy take a form of refusing anything from the past and resorting to social experiments and untested novel theories that can only be instituted by force.
This seems bad. But it’s not all bad, if you focus on the other thing that happens when an old civilization is dying: the seeds of a new civilization usually begun to take root. And this is an exciting time! The new civilization almost always RESTORES the very ancient truths and virtues that the old civilization is trying to bury.
For those who imagine they are going to restore Western Civilization, the truth is, even if they persist in this attempted restoration, they are really sowing the seeds of a new civilization.
When we disconnect our loyalties from the facile and symbolic and reconnect them to the substance of ancient truth and sacred blueprints, we determine that we are living in the age of a new dawn, not the era of decline and ruin. However, this is only true if we transfer our energy from trying to revive a dying civilization to building a new civilization based on a revival of ancient and and sacred truth.
When Classical Civilization fell in the whole Roman Empire there was the West and the East. The East transitioned peacefully, relative to the West, to a new civilization, called the Byzantine, which lasted around 1000 years before being artificially snuffed out by the Islamic hordes. But the Western Empire saw no such transition. It simply collapsed and entered a sort of inter-regnum dominated by a fractious and also dying Germanic civilization for some 300 plus years.
In America and Europe, cradles of Western Civilization, the path forward looks like two choices: collapse into chaos and a new dark ages or transition to the new civilization peacefully.
The new civilization in our estimation is greater than the sum of its parts but its parts are the Hebrew, Classical, Germanic, and Western Civilizations, albeit instead of being located solely in “the West”, it will be located, here and there, all over the world. Using the core ideals of the preceding four civilizations, which are Unity in diversity (Western), Popular sovereignty (Germanic), Democratic equality (Classical), and Rule of law (Hebrew), we call this the UPaDaRian (Upadarian) Civilization.
In essence the new civilization is destined to revive the core ideals of the previous four and to do so in a balanced and harmonious manner that is rooted in the ancient and sacred and yet entirely and uniquely modern in its approach and application.
We live in two separate possibilities, the era of decline leading to a new dark age or the era of a new dawn leading to a revival of ancient and sacred truths and a human flourishing such as has never been seen before.
