I chose active thinking. I chose Love. This was the resurrection of the self, the victory over death.
And the multiplicity became mine to behold.
John Dunn

The real and only meaningful opposition is between those whose banners bear the symbols of love and creativity and those devoid of love, life and humanity who would have us return to the One, the ‘amorphous state of pre-Eros, pre-Love and pre-Being’.
John Dunn

Freedom is a kind of transcendence. The higher self should transcend the lower self and the state should encourage this impulse. This is the transcendence that results from a rising up out of the vegetative ‘One life’.
John Dunn

Transmutation – stated Evola – must always proceed from ‘formless universality’ to ‘formed individuality’ and not the other way around.
John Dunn

Our potential for freedom lies in our successful reinstatement of the active, creative and intuitive “I” back into the process of thinking, and so back into the otherwise dead world around us.

All history, all present, all future is the forest. No tree falls there unless man sees.

An on-going passsage-by-passage reading of Roy Campbell’s epic poem of the Spanish Civil War. He is an exultant nationalist and celebrates not only feats of arms but achievements of organisation, making live poetry out of the economics and agriculture of Franco's Spain.

...a gentle breeze ripples the veil of Sais.

The writer who fused the thinking of Giovanni Gentile, Julius Evola and Rudolf Steiner and went beyond each of them.
John Dunn

The work of Giovanni Gentile continues to feed into the development of my own writing, and, no doubt, will do so too into my next published book.

Marcion’s brand of Christianity was so successful that there was no going back to any Christianity that did not have its own New Testament. So what did the “Nazoreans” do? They Judaised Marcion’s New Testament, modifying the existing text and adding text to re-connect Christianity to the Jewish tribal deity that is the God of the Old Testament.

Extracts from a long out-of-print monograph that I wrote about Edward Thomas twenty years ago entitled 'A Bleak but Honest Resolution'. But it's still on Kindle.
