PRESENCE OF PERSONALITY

I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY HOW I CAN ACHIEVE THE VISION THAT I AM TALKING ABOUT HERE... BUT I HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT IT MEANS TO HAVE A KIND OF CHARACTER THAT COMMANDS... AND I HAVE CONCLUDED THAT I DESIRE THAT KIND OF PERSONALITY.

 

IMAGINE THE KIND OF PERSON WHO WALKS INTO A ROOM, AND WHEN THEY ENTER THAT ROOM, EVERYONE FEELS COMPELLED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THEIR PRESENCE.  IMAGINE BEING THE KIND OF PERSON WHO SAYS MORE WITHOUT SPEAKING THAN MOST PEOPLE SAY WITH A GREAT ARRAY OF WORDS.

 

WHEN I MAKE MYSELF SEEN... I WANT EVERYONE TO KNOW IN THEIR MIND WHAT I STAND FOR... AND I WANT THEM TO KNOW WHO I AM SO WELL THAT I NEED NOT DECLARE MYSELF TO MAKE MY NATURE OR INTENT KNOWN.

 

GRAVITY... IS A GIFT.  IT IS AN ACQUIRED POWER.  TO BE STRONG ENOUGH TO DEFINE YOUR OWN PERSON IN A WAY THAT MAKES EVERYONE REALIZE THAT YOU ARE NOT EMULATING YOUR SURROUNDINGS, AND THAT YOU ARE IN FACT SELF-DEFINED AND RESOLUTE... IS PURE POWER, AND ITS ALLURE IS IMMENSELY INTRIGUING.

 

STRENGTH IS THE ABILITY TO DEFINE YOUR SURROUNDINGS WHILE EVERYONE ELSE IS DEFINED BY THEM.  IT IS THE CLARITY OF MIND THAT MAKES A PERSON ABLE TO FACE ANYTHING WHATSOEVER WITH A COOL, COMPOSED ATTITUDE... AND I DO NOT THINK THAT IT WOULD BE RIGHT TO MISTAKE FOOLISHNESS OR FEARLESSNESS FOR BRAVERY OR MENTAL STRENGTH... BECAUSE A STRONG PERSON CAN CERTAINLY BE FEARFUL OR RESERVED... WITHOUT BEING A COWARD OR A PUSHOVER. 

Charting Course

There is a manifest destiny which guides all of us.  It is like a "default setting" for life.  We start off in a very specific place, and that initial environment defines the style and cycle of our entire future unless we choose to swim upstream, changing the destiny which was first made manifest to us.

You are driving home from work.  By purposefully using a route which you would not usually take, you are altering your destiny, doing something which you wouldn't have done if you simply allowed the "default settings" of your life to guide you.

My rental lease was coming to an end.  Would I stay where I was living, or would I take that opportunity to move somewhere else?  I realized that by far the easiest option before me was to continue living where I already was living, but I also realized that by moving I could vastly change the environment of my life.  Would I accept the "default" option, or would I manifest a new destiny?

It is foolish to hope to be extraordinary while living in an ordinary way.  It is foolish to expect to get somewhere else without moving in another direction.  We all have a destiny, but not every destiny is impressive.  Those who accept the destiny handed to them seldom reach the same heights as those who forge a destiny for themselves which is contrary to the path of least resistance.

The strength to combat one's own natural tendencies by channeling them in a self-determined, unique direction is a sign of sound mindedness.  For this reason, I find it most logical to always make it my first priority to avoid getting too set in my ways. 

I don't want to let myself get "stuck in a rut," doing the same thing again and again without contemplating proactively how I can aid in my own reformation and evolution; so if I should find myself conflicted between the choice of constancy or progress, if in any manner such is possible, I should rather progress.

Progress always requires more risk and effort than constancy, but constancy is not interesting or fruitful without the forward, upward thrust toward greater achievement.  A measured war effort designed to hold ground never produces results as does an aggressive posture made with conquest as its intent.  Stalemate is, quite possibly, even worse than blatant defeat; because stalemate, unlike unilateral defeat, dulls the senses and in a long-term manner distracts the focus from the glory of victory.

Certain Strategic Advantage

Do not fight for what cannot be won.  Do not surrender what need not be lost.  That is my rule of law.  All conflicts are byproducts of either failed strategy or the lack of strategy.  If everyone acknowledged equally both superior and inferior forces in their operational environment, there would be no war.  Capitalism, and not the sword, would be the highest judge.

Glory

The Empire which does not share her glory shall lose her glory.  First her glory will vanish, and then her strength; but of surety, without glory she cannot stand.  The rule of law in nature as pertaining to mankind seems ever to dictate that without the aesthetics of glory, power has no fuel.  Whether governments or individuals, great nations of single souls, the absence of glory equates the birthplace of anarchy.  From anarchy comes destruction, and from destruction rebirth.

 

When the last legion and the last citizen alike stop looking toward Rome and hailing Caesar, that is the moment when the Roman Empire ceases to exist.  That is the moment when its spirit is dead.  At that point, it matters now how strong her armies are, or how majestic her cities remain.  Without glory, her name has no meaning and her era is no more.

 

It is upon the shoulders of those who find it in themselves to grant to their cause entire allegiance without regard to consequence that the survival of civilization rests.

Absolute Resolve

JALIVA holds her enemies and her friends in like balance, weighing them to see if they be worthy of her devotion; and finding them worthy she is true without wavering; but finding them wanting, she shows no quarter or mercy.  Jaliva is slow to wrath; but when this mighty Republic is roused, her fury is unstoppable, her vengeance absolute.  It is hoped and expected that the motto of Jaliva's resolve should be all or nothing:  Allies or nothing.

 

There is no middle-ground between worthiness of devotion and unworthiness.  There is no middle ground between enemies and friends.  There is only allegiance, and the absence of allegiance.  When I stop extending the mercies of allegiance, my secession is swift and absolute, and utterly unchangeable.

Hail Victory!

"Hail Ceasar!" and "Heil Hitler!" are both phrases which are commonly associated with the arm-outstretched salute, alluding to solidarity and allegiance. 

In Nazi Germany and the Roman Empire respectively, "Hitler" and "Ceasar" respectively alluded to ideals of government and culture beyond the sole individual who bore the name.

I avidly appreciate the Roman salute, fascism in the aesthetically Nazi fashion, Roman culture, and the foundation which all of those things share.  I appreciate these things because I understand that the same totality which fascism makes evident is the key to regulating matters of personal living.

"You are nothing.  The State is everything."  That is the message carried by a fascist military state.  Your feelings don't matter!  Your life doesn't matter!  Forget any thought that these things even exist!  Think only of the State!  The State is you!  You are the State!  You and the State are synonymous, one, and the same! 

You do not exist to glorify yourself!  You exist only to glorify to the State; because only by bringing glory to the State is it possible for you to bring glory to yourself.  I speak of a State of mind.  Allegiance must come first before all other thoughts in any well-governed life. 

Total, entire allegiance to the mission at hand without any self-pity or emotional deviation must be the rule of personal law for the victorious, sovereign individual.  If your emotions can be swayed by others, or your judgment manipulated, you are not free or sovereign; but if your mind is an unconquerable republic unto itself, then the empire within your soul is a mighty and unconquerable fortress.

I speak of spiritual bricks, spiritual armies, spiritual laws; and I do not make reference to religion.  I refer to the triumph of the will.  When an individual does triumph over his unruly will with his rational will, he becomes both a self-proclaimed dictator and a subject of his own dictation.  He thereby masters self-control, finding in himself equally the power to act and the power to subdue his unreasonable passions.

Countless times I feel indignant, or angry, concerned or overwhelmed; and in those moments, I remind myself of those fascist principles:  I am nothing!  My feelings don't matter!  I exist only to serve the Empire!  I do not deserve to live, except to pursue victory!  Life is war!  Death is inevitable!  Where then is the glory?  The glory is in fighting the good fight, being of good cheer when under fire, and bravely facing one's own apparent fate; and the joy?  The joy is in the victory which comes after a long, cold winter of silent, humble suffering.

It is eternal glory which I pursue; and so I uplift the principles which together form the foundation of my life:  Justice, Wisdom, Liberty, Charity, Heroism, and Strength; but freedom I find occasion not to afford myself ever in full measure.  I cannot and must not allow my spirit to descend into anarchy.  I must hold myself to my own rule of law.  I must devote my life to victory, showing myself no mercy or sympathy in defeat; for I will be shown none by others.
