Odalism - a green evolutionary perspective

[Heidens Bloed]

Odalism is a philosophy based on the organic bond between blood and soil. Odalism as such offers an approach that is both ecological, spiritual and at the same time a practical political practise.

Odalism contends that the domestic population of all ethnic homelands is unique in comparison to their surrounding - of which it is both a product and a vital component. The Germanic tribes of Europe represents a row of such unique biotopes, and deserves, just as the flora, fauna and the rest of the landscape scenery, the same protection and preservation in the name of the biological multitude and interest. This is the deep ecological and “green” perspective behind Odalism, an approach that asserts the organic and original bond between the blood and the soil - the bond between blood and odal.

The faith dedicated to the old Nordic gods was the ancient custom among the Germanic tribes, before the cruel enforcement of Christianity. With a creed of iron and its deep ecological approach; Odalism distances itself from the exploiting, thralling, egalitarian universalism which lies within this pernicious import product from the Middle-East. The Germanic folk soul, our metagenetics, finds its resonance in the ancient Nordic faith. Odalism offer the Germanic people of Europe a path to a spiritual reawakening - through the sacredness of blood and heritage.

The ecological and spiritual convictions of Odalism are supported by its realistic political thinking. Alain de Benoists work “Europe of a hundred flags” reflects our vision of a Northern Europe containg Germanic homeland, confident, secure and free.

We call this vision etnopluralism. As etnopluralists our mission is to save our people from the (ecologically) destructive multiculturalism. This can be secured by advocating a folkish nation; militant heathendom (1) and by all means the creation of the conditions which are needed for a re-establishment of a folkish self determination for ourselves and our entire Germanic brother folk.

Europe must, in the same way, be liberated from Christianity. Europe must heal it wounds by reconnecting the holy bond between the blood and the soil, by the practicing of aristocratic principals, and through subordinating it self to the inexorable laws of nature. This is the evolutionary perspective of Odalism.

Our goal as Odalists is not to gain attention through conventional party political work; but by reaching our goals in a long-term meta-political process. It is only through meta-politics - through the creation of a fundamental thinking and the gaining of Germanic hearts and souls - which we can start the long march towards the reawakening of our people; and to reach the total enforcement of the green evolutionary approach.

Footnotes:
1. With militant heathendom we of course not mean any kind of violent para-military activity. The Germanic people is fundamentally since the dawn of time a people of warriors, who have seen the right of defence of the individual just as the people and the property - no only as a right, but also a obvious duty. Everything else is totally foreign to our blood. It is therefore both our duty and our right to preserve it as a part of our cultural heritage.

Odalism: Blood - Soil - Spirituality
I. Folk and Destiny

The odal rune is representative of folk and family, the ties that bind us to one another and to our ancestors far back into antiquity. The Odalist senses in his deeper consciousness a link between himself and his race-cultural history. He understands that he is bound by the destiny of his folk, of which his personal destiny is but a functional part.

Rather than seeing this fact as a limitation placed upon his individuality, an encroachment upon his own desires by the world-historical forces of nature, the Odalist recognizes that this destiny is a most valuable inheritance, one which is as natural to him as breathing. It will give to him the greatest sense of accomplishment and contentedness in life if he is to follow it in the knowledge that he is doing that which he was intended to do.

The hammer is better used to drive nails than to sand wood. It was created for the purpose of driving nails, and is therefore designed and formed from its inception to perform this task and this task alone as well as possible. So, too, is the individual formed by his folk-cultural history and his psychological development to perform certain tasks with excellence. Most of us have at least one great skill, something which sets us apart from those around us and gives a certain sense of pride. Moreover, in perfecting this skill we arrive at the greatest sense of happiness, a sense which comes not out of mere physiological pleasure, but from a deeper source. This happiness comes from a source deep within which can be called the True Self, the Absolute I, which is the core of our being unobstructed by the demands and impositions of society.

It is for this reason that the Odalist does not feel that his freedom is being imposed upon by the destiny of which he becomes aware. It is, after all, the best way for him to live, the most fulfilling.

It should be apparent by now that by destiny we do not refer to the popular definition which suggests that belief in destiny or fate is belief in the idea that everything is preordained, that we ultimately have no control over the future because it is all predetermined.

Quite the contrary, the Odalist believes that his nature is his destiny, that he has certain talents and characteristics which he must pursue in order to reach any deeper sense of fulfillment. He imposes a higher will on his life, seeking to turn away from the smaller pleasures of the masses and reach toward his own, personal expression.

This personal expression is not, however, akin to egoism as it is popularly practiced, if not understood. The vast majority of modern Westerners act on the precepts of this rootless philosophy which holds that the ego, waking-consciousness, or rationality should control the life-course of every "free" individual.

Opposed to this view is that of the Odalist, who views the ego as but one working element of the human mind, an element which does not, upon deeper examination, appear to be nearly as stable as the egoist would suggest. The Odalist has, instead, a holistic outlook on psychology which demands the recognition of many other elements of consciousness which, though the ego may believe otherwise, actually play a much larger role in shaping our lives. If one is to truly mature and reach a spiritually sane and balanced understanding of his own mind, he must question the authority of the ego, perhaps even its very existence, if only to arrive at an awareness of the fact that the ego, the "self" as we generally refer to it, is not what we pretend it to be when speaking off-hand about it.

How often do we find ourselves justifying, after the fact, an act which we know, if we are honest with ourselves, was not founded in a rational or conscious desire? How can we explain the overpowering drives within us that often conflict with the desires of the ego to such an extent that we ultimately cannot overcome them? Truthfully, we cannot say that the ego either has or could legitimately hold control over the entire psyche, for it cannot even understand many of the motivations of the mind. Digging further, we come to the realization that, more often than not, our rationalizations, our philosophies and psychological paradigms, are the result not of objective examinations of the facts as they are presented, but rather extend from our own inner nature. We invent the philosophies which suit us, as we are or as we would like to be. Words, rationalizations, and philosophical argumentation are merely symptomatic of the intellect attempting to assimilate that which the inner core of being imposes upon us. The ego is not, after all, the architect of our world-outlook, but a mere observer, trying desperately to make sense of something which is not within its grasp.

Neither is the ego the Self. It is, as we have come to see, only a fraction of the entirety of the mind. The Self is the whole, understood as such, which can only be approached by listening to the inner voice, to providence, to destiny. However one explains this intuitive sense of Self (and all explanations will ultimately fail to express the depth of the experience which informs them), it is only through progressive attempts to understand the Self in this holistic, intuitive way that a true sense of the meaning and purpose of one's life will begin to unfold.

Although philosophy and ideology cannot hand one this knowledge which can only come from within, it can help to put the mind in the right mode of thought, stretching it out of the mold it has been cast into by many years of misconception. The true purpose of any religion is to point the way, to guide others toward the discovery of the True Self, of destiny. Every bit of theology and philosophy is an attempt to guide the initiate home, to help whoever is ready to listen to see the world in a way which will more likely facilitate his awakening than the way in which society has told him to see it.

It is therefore that Odalism is most concerned with the trinitary concept of Blood - Soil - Spirituality. Blood is representative of folk and destiny. Spirituality we have already briefly touched upon, as it is (at its deepest level) the pursuit of knowledge of folk and destiny and the expression thereof. Where "soil" fits into this matrix will now be discussed.
