Cosmotheism: Religion of the Future
I finally finished this book! It’s outstanding; 10 out of 10. I especially enjoyed two essays toward the back by Kevin, because they cleared up some things I was wondering about.

Re: Cosmotheism: Religion of the Future
I love the book too. It is something that every White man and women should own. I am so grateful that I now have access to so many of Dr. Pierce’s and Mr. Strom’s writings. Modern religion never really appealed to me and always seemed to have something missing. After reading Cosmotheism: Religion of the Future, has given me something to believe and helped my racial awakening. I personally have two copies of the book. One I keep in a fire box, with important documents and heirlooms. The other I always carry on my person. Where I write in and put notes on my favorite sections. I hope the Cosmotheist Church publishes a hard cover copy.

Who We Are, The Turner Diaries, Which Way Western Man? and so on from the "Our Titles" section of the Cosmotheist Church bookstore. It rounds out one's education well.

Re: Cosmotheism: Religion of the Future
Besides Cosmotheism: Religion of the Future I have purchased Pocahontas Show Trial and New World Order Comix: The Saga of White Will. I have been gifted a copy of The Turner Diaries from a friend. I plan on purchasing more of the Cosmotheist Church’s books like the ones you mentioned soon.

Re: Cosmotheism: Religion of the Future
What I really like about the new edition of Cosmotheism is the numbering system for the essays. It makes the text very easy to refer to and explain to others. Definitely a system that should be kept in mind as new essays are added to fill out the work and aid in understanding of the philosophy.

Re: Cosmotheism: Religion of the Future
For one thing, I was curious about the Cosmotheist perspective on indigenous Aryan religions. Obviously, Dr. Pierce adapted some things from the pre-Christian religion of the Northern Europeans, and there are some allusions to it in his essays in the first part of the book. But, what Kevin Strom wrote on page 254 really stood out to me:Jim Mathias wrote: ↑Mon Oct 10, 2022 3:12 pmWhat things needed clarification?

A return to European paganism or neo-paganism is appealing in many respects, even though, as with Christianity, many of our best minds cannot literally believe in its gods and myths. One can still, however, be a rationalist [and] honor Demeter or Zeus or Odin or Freya as aspects of our own souls and evocations of the archetypes permeating our racial memories. As these faiths are tribal faiths, racial faiths really, it can plausibly be inferred from them that we ought to survive. And there are innumerable gems of wisdom and healthy morality to be found in their stories, precepts, and lessons. But the body of European pagan works is somewhat amorphous, is not systematic or unified, and is ill-suited to serve as a guide to action today. It is good that racialism is in its background, supremely good compared to the others. But in our times, as we face racial annihilation, we need a faith which places racialism in the foreground.
Now, there's a lot that I could respond to here in this passage, beginning with the fact that very few practitioners of folkish pagan religions believe in the literal existence of Gods and Goddesses (in fact, the Odinic Rite explicitly teaches as part of its doctrine that they do not literally exist), but that is a subject for a separate discussion. Suffice it say here that I understand his point of view and recognize that there is a good deal of validity to it.
Another big takeaway for me was the way Kevin described the Cosmotheist view of God. I had already kind of gotten this from Dr. Pierce's essays, of course, but I guess it was just the way Kevin explained it that solidified the understanding in my mind. I won't reproduce it all here, but on page 228 and following he relates an analogy which he took from Alan Watts about dreaming. He asks us to imagine that we could control our dreams, and goes on to explain why we would eventually get bored with being all-powerful and would begin to insert situational hardships into them. Essentially, this is what God - "God" - has done in the world, and if he is correct that we are actually the Divine Source experiencing itself, it explains a lot about life.
