		<description><![CDATA[We are excited by explorations of traditional wisdom, as we should be, given that this wisdom is the greatest human possession, a boon from the divine that can show us the best way to live; but we must not forget to simply live.]]></description>

		<title>Truth in Traditionalism</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Some people reading traditionalist writers get finicky when they first see Truth with a capital T, because they doubt that any ultimate Truth can be attainable, or even worse, they fear a monopolization of opinion in the intention of establishing an “intolerant” version of Truth in society; both are typical misunderstandings of an individualistic modern era.]]></description>

		<title>Acts of God</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With the collapse of tradition, two different worldviews have taken its place: scientific materialism, and religious superstition...A good example of these two worldviews can be found in the reaction to the earthquake in Haiti...]]></description>

		<title>New Article: The Virtue of Prayer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This method of spiritual recognition has two inescapable and mutually inclusive sides: on one hand ethics as a guide for behavior for the external, material world, and on the other hand a contemplative exercise for inward, spiritual experience. In order to know the Divine, beyond all the acknowledged metaphysical theory, both these interdependent and indivisible aspects must be present within a given religion.¹

What exactly is this contemplative praxis? Very simple: Prayer.]]></description>

		<title>La Verdad por encima de la Economía</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Quizá la mejor razón para explicar porqué nuestro entendimiento de la ética es relativista, es que nuestra percepción moderna de la realidad está enteramente definida en función de la producción. La ciencia económica hace relativo a todo aquello que cae en su campo de estudio, ya que esta se basa en las valoraciones que hacen los individuos en sus necesidades circunstanciales. Esto no resulta dañino cuando se aplica a la mercancía, pero cuando todo acto humano es capitalizado, todo resulta determinado como bueno o malo según los consumidores. Lo ideal se convierte en capital y el bien se convierte en lo que es deseable para la mayoría.]]></description>

		<title>Truth Over Economy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Maybe the reason that best explains why we understand ethics in a relativist way is that our modern perception of reality is entirely defined in functions of production. Economic science makes whatever falls into its study field relative, because it is grounded in the valuations made by individuals in reference to their circumstantial needs. This is not harmful when applied to merchandise, but when every human act is capitalized, everything is determined as good or bad by consumers. The ideal becomes capital, and goodness becomes what is desirable for the most.

		<title>New Article: Monotheism</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A monotheistic religion is one which revolves around a single God. Usually monotheism refers specifically to religions of Semitic origin (Judaism, Christianity and Islam). The word itself, however, directly implies that which is essential to all religions and metaphysical doctrines, the Absolute.]]></description>
