William Pierce: Cosmotheism’s Hard Way -- 7/19/2014

[Will Williams]

I am not saying Stormfront as a site is bad in itself, I do believe it gives many well-meaning WN's a place where they can share ideas and discuss their unique racial viewpoints. But it's no secret that it's become riddled with those who are hell-bent on causing division and a haven for some who do nothing but post, and i do mean post. Those with 40,000+ posts ammassed in only a few years is puzzling to those who are active in the real world; I mean, what can one think of such people?

Stormfront needs to listen to it's constituents who contribute, instead they are censored and told to follow bogus rules based on the views of one or two moderators, instead of having consensus with the elite cadre of SF on a particular topic or issue. I'm not sure, but I don't even know if Don Black is aware of everything that goes on there.

[As a point of information, here are two of the deleted posts I posted on said SF thread.]

Yesterday's American Dissident Voices broadcast (the 28th in 28 weeks): White Biocentrism

William Pierce:
Cosmotheism’s Hard Way

American Dissident Voices broadcast of July 19, 2014
by █████ ██████ █████ [the man whose name must not be spoken at SF]

The man who wrote and spoke this broadcast (Are SF'ers really not allowed to speak his name?) is one of the best minds in White Nationalism and also perhaps the best and most inspiring WN orator using the English language. I listen to all of Kevin's Dissident Voices broadcasts. In KAS's hands (and mind), those broadcasts have not diminished in quality from William Pierce's originals. But KAS has updated them to fit the current world, our current reality...

No, Stormfront is not bad, it's just so big and all over the board with opposed ideologies that it can't hardly build anything
that is consistent, as we are doing here with people who actually agree on fundamentals of Cosmotheism.

I have posted some in a couple of Stormfront "Social Groups" that have members in them who are interested in the ideas in National-Socialism, mostly because James Harting, who I admire and respect, keeps order there. James knew and worked with Dr. Pierce and knows that both the National Alliance and the religion Dr. Pierce founded, Cosmotheism, are entirely compatible with the fundamentals of National-Socialism. Even so, otherwise smart Stormfronters, even avowed National Socialists like this fellow Great White North NS, who contributes at these SF social groups sees what Dr. Pierce founded as somehow "watered down," compromised from what the Germans enjoyed as a political system for 12 years back in the 1930s through mid-1940s.

I was searching through my saved SF postings, looking for when Lycia first introduced this rather silly, redacted form of Kevin Alfred Strom's name -- █████ ██████ █████ -- and while looking for that found the following exchange between me and a fellow from the UNS social group that's perhaps worth sharing here to make a point. It's funny to me how SF moderator, Lycia, a former National Alliance member, but one without a grasp of the Alliance's Cosmotheist spirituality, makes out now like I'm the one who came out with the █████ ██████ █████ thing, when it was in fact she who introduced it; I simply cut & pasted her █████ ██████ █████. I wouldn't know how to redact something with blacked out █████ text myself.

So, here's that UNS social group comment:

Great Wite North NS says: The Swastika will always strike more fear into our enemies than a white hood, a Celtic cross or a "life rune." If the best defense is a good offense, then the Swastika is surely the best defense of all.
---

We should never be defensive of our strongly held beliefs. We're right, after all, and always operate from a position of strength. Our enemies should fear us.

But being offensive is not always the best approach, especially when dealing with our kinsmen who have been so thoroughly conditioned by our enemies for three generations to hate everything about us.

Though I agree with you about white hoods and crosses being unsuitable symbols for our racial struggle, I note you put "life rune" in both lower case and sneer quotes. That's offensive to me, seeing as how our Life Rune is my avatar; therefore such subtle criticism is not the best defense of the Swastika in my case -- especially here at Stormfront where Swastika symbols are banned but Life Runes are not. I embrace both symbols, as did the National Socialists upon whose shoulders we stand today.

Learn more about the Life Rune here: The Legacy of Dr. William Pierce [link to here: http://williamlutherpierce.blogspot.com ... ch-results ]

Dr. William Pierce, an honored American National Socialist, chose the Life Rune as the symbol for the organization he founded, the National Alliance, as well as for the ideology -- Cosmotheism -- that underpins it. When he was editor of National Socialist World in the late 1960s he placed a Swastika on the cover of each issue, but as James H. has pointed out on several occasions, Dr. Pierce evolved to formulate a more Americanized version of National-Socialism, with a new symbol, but without changing the fundamental ideology.

For those not familiar with Cosmotheism, a brief excerpt from Dr. Pierce's editorial in NSW, Issue No. 2, Fall of 1966, shows where he was at the time and how closely his Cosmotheist philosophy is rooted in National-Socialist ideology:
---

"National Socialists know what their fundamental goals are and can state them in a fairly simple manner. Perhaps the easiest way to attempt to epitomize an entire Weltanschauung, with an emphasis on goals and motivations, is to quote the immortal words of Adolf Hitler:"

What we must fight for is the security of the existence and reproduction of our race and our people, the sustenance of our children and the maintenance of the purity of our blood, the freedom and independence of our nation, so that our people may mature for the fulfillment of the mission allotted them by the Creator of the universe.

David Lane managed to say the same thing in just 14 words. Learn more about Cosmotheism at the WLP Legacy blog linked above.

Michael aka 'DresdenBurning,' our recently departed comrade, was both a National Socialist and a Cosmotheist, and he summed this ideal up in his familiar signature:

"Our Purpose Is The Creator's Purpose"

--W.L.P.

[Cosmotheist]

From the above ADV:

The science writer Don Kaiser shows a mature understanding, almost a Cosmotheist understanding, of the ever-evolving, non-static nature of life when he writes in his “Life Is Evolution” that “The sole charcteristic that ultimately distinguishes living from non-living matter is classical Darwinian evolution. Life is simply matter that evolves. …Evolution is the sole feature that differentiates living matter from non-living matter. …Given the fact that all life forms die, how do they persist through time and changing environments? Every environment harboring life forms must change, simply because of their existence, so evolution is the only way life forms can persist through time. Not only did Charles Darwin discover what makes life possible despite the fact that all life forms eventually die, he unwittingly discovered the sole feature that distinguishes living from non-living matter. Charles Darwin defined life. Life is Evolution.” (emphasis KAS)

Actually, "almost a Cosmotheist understanding" is quite apt.

Evolution is the sole feature that differentiates living matter from non-living matter.

Why is "almost" quite apt?

Because "non-living" matter has "evolved", itself, and that "sole feature" of "differentiation"
of "living matter from non-living matter" really is only a false one.

How so? Cosmic Evolution is how so.

After the Big Bang singularity of pure energy condensed into "almost nothing"
but hydrogen and the most basic and elemental forces of nature were unleashed:
ie., gravity, the weak and strong forces nuclear forces, and electromagnetism, it
took several generations of stars going supernova to create all the elements that
are heavier than carbon and that all would eventually be necessary to form into life.

Life is a "pattern" that can "co-evolve with the Cosmos" to give it "a self-awareness"
of itself that matter by itself also has within but only at a much lower level of quality
and complexity. The death of the "pattern" is no more any "actual death" than is of a
wave that breaks on a shore is the death of "water". Only the "pattern" is lost but not
what is "essential" to it. That lives forever. And it only becomes other "patterns" of a
greater or lesser complexity and consciousness over time.

Thus, the arrow of time is real. "Cosmic evolution" is as real as was "life's evolution" and
these "two both co-evolved together" but the former must all have come before the latter.
Consciousness is within the whole.

The distinction is not that one or the other evolves.
A real distinction is the level of consciousness of the Whole
all within that has arisen in life, a "pattern" of matter.

That is the Whole Cosmotheist understanding of the Truth of Reality
that many have had "a glimpse of" and/or "have approached" but still
have really only missed the mark.

Hence, "almost a Cosmotheist understanding" is quite apt.

Best regards,
Cosmotheist

"Out of the Darkness" by Dr. Pierce

National Alliance General Convention, 1983; recorded and transcribed by Kevin Alfred Strom.

"TWO THOUSAND years ago the poet Ovid wrote that night is a sadder time than day. I know that’s always been true for me. When discouraging thoughts come, it’s usually at night.

Actually, I’m pretty cheerful most of the time. But it used to be that, occasionally, when I was working alone in the National Office late at night, a black thought would come into my mind — always the same thought. It was that there’s not enough time to do what I must do. It was that something will happen to me before the Alliance is strong enough to survive and continue growing without me.

Then a feeling of desperation would come over me and I would have to fight off an almost overpowering urge to do whatever I could to speed things up — to go back to the quick and dirty methods that I had tried in past years. Now, I didn’t yield to that urge because I had already found out the hard way that the quick and dirty methods don’t yield lasting results. I knew that we had only one shot at winning this war we’re in, and it has to be a good shot. We can’t miss. We can’t build something that is flimsy or false. We have to do it exactly right, or it won’t work. But doing it right sometimes seems painfully slow. And it would be futile, self-defeating, if in my care to do it right I didn’t get enough of it done so that others could carry on before I was overtaken by disease, or by an accident, or even by an assassin.

Now, in a sense, this black thought which used to creep up on me late at night, was the thought of death, the fear of death. We’re all mortal. We all know that we have to die — though no one wants to. The way we’ve dealt with this fear of death in the past has been to identify ourselves with something immortal, to think of ourselves as part of something in which we can continue to live after our bodies are gone. Patriots have identified themselves with their countries — often so strongly that they were almost eager to die in order to advance the interests of their fatherland: the land of their forefathers. It was easier to be patriotic, of course, when our country still belonged to us, when we were able to associate a particular village, or farmstead, with our ancestors for several generations back; when the graves of our fathers, and grandfathers, and great great great grandfathers, were around us — and so were their works: the fields that they had cleared, the buildings that they had built, the trophies they gathered in their lifetimes, the records they left behind them. We could easily fit ourselves into the pattern of generations and centuries, and be content in the knowledge that our own works, and trophies, and records, would also be preserved, and would become part of the lives of our descendants. We would fight anyone who threatened that pattern. We would die in order to preserve it, so that we wouldn’t be forgotten, so that we would always have a little niche in the memory of all the generations which were to come.

Today the whole pattern has been smashed to bits and ground into the mud. We’ve lost our roots, our sense of belonging, our connection with the past and with the future. We can’t count on being remembered. In fact, if current trends continue for a few more years, and Martin Luther King’s dream of “full equality” is realized, then our grandchildren won’t even know who their fathers are, much less their grandfathers. So patriotism provides little comfort for mortals these days.

And it’s no wonder that many people are searching for something else, besides their countries, to identify with. For me that something has long been the whole universe. My life is part of its life and I know that the larger life of the evolving universe will go on no matter what. That’s my religion, or part of it. But it’s a rather impersonal religion, and on dark, lonely nights at the office, it does not by itself provide enough comfort to keep dark moods away. There is in all of us, I believe, a need for a more personal identification with something immortal. We need more than merely the knowledge that each of us is a momentarily glowing spark of individual consciousness in a conscious cosmos — a cosmos which, even as its overall brightness grows, witnesses the winking on and then out again of billions of individual sparks.

We need, in addition to that, the knowledge that we as individuals make a difference. We need the knowledge that we can make a mark on the world through our own efforts, and that the mark we make will last. We need to know that our personal contribution to the life of the universe will be remembered after we are gone — that others will add to it and help it grow — so that ten generations from now, or even a hundred generations, the record will still be there. There will be someone then who will be able to say: Back during the great struggle, ages ago, when the race nearly perished, there were a few men and women who were on the right side; a few who did what had to be done; a few who made the difference; and even today, centuries later, we remember their names and their works.

That’s the sort of knowledge which is able to overcome the fear of death, the sort of knowledge which gives each of us a personal connection to the infinite. It’s true that the self-consciously evolving cosmos, of which I am a part, is the ultimate reality. But it’s also true that the Alliance provides my personal connection with that ultimate reality. The Alliance is the means by which I, and many others, can make individual contributions to the future. The Alliance not only magnifies our efforts — gives us leverage that we wouldn’t have if we were working on our own — but it also provides a safe repository for our contributions, makes them into lasting contributions. And as it keeps them from being washed away in the growing tide of chaos on the outside, it keeps them in place long enough for another member to add his own contribution on top of ours, and then for another to build on top of both, and so on.

For example, if one of our members writes a book which is a valuable contribution to our overall effort — say, member William Simpson and his Which Way Western Man? — then he doesn’t have to worry that it will immediately disappear into oblivion when he dies, or is no longer able to promote it himself. He knows that even after he is gone, the Alliance will remain to continue distributing his book, continue reprinting it, magnifying its effect, until another member is able to build on that work with a book of his own, which advances the Cause still further.

That, of course, is the theory. The trouble is it has been a pretty shaky theory in the past, primarily because far too much was dependent on a single individual: me. Who could be sure whether I would last from one month to the next? Who could know whether or not all of the hard work, and money, and time, he was putting into the Alliance would be wasted? Because I might, at any minute, give up and announce that I was tired of butting my head against the wall, and that would be the end of it.

From my own viewpoint things were a little different, but still not particularly encouraging. I knew that I wouldn’t give up, but I could see others giving up all around me. It seemed that every time we would manage to struggle ahead a step, we would slide three quarters of a step back again. And I knew that we were not strong enough to keep going at all if I quit, which meant that I had to hang on and keep on pushing things forward until we reached a critical point where I could stand aside and things would keep moving without me, because there would be the right people, ready and able to take over all of my responsibilities. My concern was that nothing must happen to me before we reached that point. From a purely selfish standpoint, I didn’t want my spark to wink out without making a difference, and the black thought that kept coming to me late at night was that I was losing the race, that I couldn’t reach that critical point soon enough.

It was never a matter of quitting. I never worried that all of my hard work was being wasted in the sense that I could have been spending my time more enjoyably. From the time I started, there was only one thing that I could do — even if there were no hope at all of winning. I couldn’t stop even if I had wanted to. Nevertheless, whether I was working willingly or unwillingly, the occasional late-night feeling that it was all for nothing was quite distressing.

Fortunately, daylight generally had the effect of dispelling my gloom, and so I was able to present a cheerful face to the world. Now, the only reason that I’m making this confession to you is that my black thoughts are a thing of the past. If I still had them, I certainly wouldn’t tell you about them. But the fact is that I have not been gloomy about our prospects for at least the last year– and I still work late, alone, in the National Office at night. What’s made the difference is the results of our recruiting during the past year.

For the task that the Alliance must accomplish, quality is everything. In the last year we have been winning commitments from people who have what it takes to get the job done. Attendance at our convention this year may be up only forty per cent. over last year, but the number of people in the Alliance who have what it takes has doubled. We’re finally getting the good ones now substantially faster than we’re losing them — and, really, we’ve just started.

For years, we were bogged down in the childishness — the make believe — the buffoonery — the stupidity — of the right wing. That’s no one’s fault but my own, of course — because I knew nothing else but the right wing approach. I really thought that populism, an appeal to the dispossessed, an appeal to the so-called White masses, was the way to proceed, the way to gain strength.

And I was often in despair, when I finally realized that it wasn’t; when I saw how few people we were winning in whom I could have any confidence at all. Changing our approach was difficult. It meant breaking some bad habits that we had acquired. It meant alienating a certain clientele that we had attracted, whose continued support I was then convinced that we really needed.

But we did change. And, within the first six months, I could begin to see a real improvement. The right wing kooks stopped coming around, and in their place came people that I could be proud of — people in whom I could have confidence. That’s when the late night despair disappeared.

We have a long, a difficult, and a dangerous road ahead of us yet. There will be many casualties along the way. We’ll make more mistakes, certainly, and we’ll have to correct ourselves many times. We may yet be overwhelmed by the enemy, or we may be too slow and be overtaken by circumstances — but I’m now convinced that we can reach our goal.

I can foresee the time now when it will no longer make any difference what happens to me, because there will be others who will keep the spark glowing, and will make it grow brighter and brighter with each passing year. I foresee immortality for all of those who have nourished the spark and who will nourish it in the future. I see more people — like you who are here with me tonight — joining our Cause every month, and every week. I foresee a growth, and a strength, and a capability for the Alliance, much greater than we have ever known before. I foresee it not in the distant future any longer, but in the time immediately ahead of us, as you go forth tomorrow and recruit for our Cause other men and women like yourselves. Thank you."
