Tradition
The meaning of the word Tradition is ‘that which is transmitted’, and this means that in a traditional civilization, pure metaphysical knowledge is transmitted from one generation to the next at its center, and with this knowledge the entire formal universe which expresses the Absolute within the sphere of that particular human collectivity. The preservation of Tradition ensures the preservation of the spiritual health of a civilization, however if the transmission was to cease, as it has in the last five hundred years for the west, then a civilization will quickly disintegrate giving rise to all the errors which surround us today. Without Tradition, religion is reduced to dogmatic sentimentalism. Without Tradition, science is reduced to the accumulation of physical facts which cannot spiritually benefit man. Without Tradition, art becomes the expression of the most degenerate and sub-human aspects of the individual consciousness. It is without a doubt the obligation of those who have come to understand Truth,that they ensure that it is preserved at least among a small number of people, so that one day it might once again gain the influence required to bring about a reversal in the procession of events that are quickly leading to the disintegration of humanity on a global scale.
