“The Temple of Set has no profane political agenda, for much the same reason as my critique here: the dragon is too big [worldwide], and the means for combatting it directly are ludicrously ineffective. [This was the lesson that Winston Smith learned in 1984.]
Our recommendation is rather an intensely personal one: to apprehend and strengthen the individual psyche – its awareness, wisdom, fluency, resourcefulness, and virtue. Each Setian – rather like Caine in “Kung Fu” – is then cast out into the maelstrom of the world, armed with “only this”. It is your personal quest to create goodness, deflect evil in any number of unforeseen [and even unimagined-in-your-nightmares] situations. The inevitable by-product of this is the continued ennoblement of your divine soul towards its sublime perfection and immortality. Against the whining, selfish tantrums of Ayn Rand I would oppose the meditations of Marcus Aurelius, for instance:
“Hour by hour resolve firmly, like a Roman and a man, to do what comes to hand with correct and natural dignity, and with humanity, independence, and justice. Allow your mind freedom from all other considerations. This you can do, if you will approach each action as though it were your last, dismissing the wayward thought, the emotional recoil from the commands of reason, the desire to create an impression, the admiration of self, the discontent with your lot. See how little a man needs to master, for his days to flow on in quietness and piety: He has but to observe these few counsels and the gods will ask nothing more.”
