I agree. I think the imagination ...Superb, William! I agree. I think the imagination is absolutely key. I hung my hat for years on the Temenos Academy, hoping they'd be the ones to lead us out of our current materialist maze. Over time I came to realise that they're more interested - for better or worse - in flying the flag of the esoteric in high academic circles than initiating a nationwide spiritual revival. My disappointment has had the great compensation though of freeing me up to realise that this is something we have to do ourselves, each in our own God-given way, and that we can't rely on any outside agency or group or academy to do the work for us.<br /><br />I think your point about Albion's awakening taking place on the imaginative and psychological levels is a sage one. It creates a more spacious mental ambience and takes the pressure off in terms of our reaction to current events, e.g. Brexit. It opens up a broader, more long-term perspective.<br /><br />It'd be terrific if a revival of interest in the country's great historical figures came about. I think there's plenty more that could be said to good purpose, for example, about Charles I and Harold Godwinson. Maybe that can be my particular role and service as a 'foot soldier of God'?John Fitzgeraldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13951246561259007162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154359965221795553.post-55254014088512740612017-09-19T11:19:03.206-07:002017-09-19T11:19:03.206-07:00@William - an important point.

If someone is well-motivated and honest, they can make mistakes or fall to temptations, but then find their way back onto the correct road. <br /><br />On the other hand; if motivation is selfish, or if people allow themselves to be dishonest for reasons of expediency, then they will easily be corrupted. Both motivation and honesty require being *rooted*; and historically this seems to require a religious perspective - or, at least, having been brought-up in a family or society where this was the norm. <br /><br />That was why the sixties counter-culture was so quickly and thouroughly subverted and corrupted - the leadership had selfish motivations, and were dishonest when it was convenient.
