I thought I should write something on the subject of my concerns with the religious right-wing.

Something I see a lot is elevating good material conditions to be the same as achieving spiritual realisations or enlightenment.
I too want to see good material conditions come into fruition, I want to see the end of tyranny that is the ones who own the banks, the media and our politicians. I too want to see such people face justice.
I too want to secure the welfare and future of my race, I want to see the return to an organic world view in accordance with all that which is good.
But these are not causes for enlightenment or spiritual realisation, they are not bad. Good material conditions can be an environment conducive to making progress on the path to liberation. This is not a concern if youโre a peasant, if youโre a commoner, a noble or someone in general whoโs primary concerns is that of the world. It is not wrong to not desire enlightenment or not having religious matters as your primary concerns.
But youโre simply not on the path to liberation if your heartโs inner most desire is just for good material conditions. No, you are not going to reach enlightenment by โpsychologically identifying yourself with the Aryan raceโ or your blood somehow being a meritorious trait in how spiritually realized you are. The world itself is not the issue, but rather your attachment to it as everlasting or your fear of losing it.

If your interest in ancient paganism is purely political, then the discovery of actions that are immoral by modern standards is sure to offend. Lefty pagans try to downplay the folkishness and the homophobia, while right wing pagans try to deny the unusual sexual practices of the ancient world.

"In short, attaining and bringing to completion all the bodhisattva deeds, and, likewise, attaining and bringing to completion the perfections, levels, forbearances, concentrations, superknowledges, retentions of teachings heard, dedications, aspirational prayers, confidence to speak, and all the qualities of a buddha are contingent upon the guru. The guru is the root from which they arise. The guru is the source and creator from which they are produced. The guru increases them. They depend upon the guru. The guru is their cause."

Varna or caste only makes sense if you live up to the duties of your Varna. Otherwise you're no better than the Hebrew if you think you're special by the merit of your birth.
The same can be said if you think you're special for being "The White Aryan Race" but you're a white trash loser with no virtues or discipline.

Hot take: Conan the Barbarian was on his way to Enlightenment.
"I know this: if life is illusion, then I am no less an illusion, and being thus, the illusion is real to me. I live, I burn with life, I love, I slay, and am content."
