Folk Culture is uniquely revolutionary because it is fundamentally different from all other beliefs, whether political, philosophical or religious, since it accepts that we as living organisms are not only part of, and bound, to Nature but also that the future of Nature, of our own further evolution, depends upon us living in harmony with Nature: that is, in accord with the will of Nature.
The truth which Folk Culture expresses is that we belong to the living being which is our folk, that this folk is a manifestation of the will of Nature, and that to live in a natural, healthy way, in harmony with Nature - in harmony with our very being - we must place our Nature-given duty before our own personal desires. That is, we must view ourselves in the wider context of our folk, in the context of Nature, of evolution, and in the context of the very cosmos itself.
According to Folk Culture, this higher awareness - this supra-personal perspective - is what expresses our very humanity, and when we do not have this higher perspective, this awareness of Nature, this awareness of ourselves as but part of and dependent upon Nature, we are acting contrary to Nature and so are not fulfilling our potential, as human beings.
Our very Destiny, our purpose, is to understand this truth about us and Nature, and to act upon it.
The true meaning of our individual lives lies in this understanding, which takes us far away from the concern about our own individual death and what may happen to us after our death which is the foundation of all the other religions in the world. The fundamental mistake of all other religions and philosophies is not only to concentrate upon the individual but to project the concept of our individuality beyond our physical death, whereas, in truth, our individuality is a hindrance to not only understanding but also to fulfilling the purpose of our lives.
For we are bound to the collective which is our folk and to the collective which is Nature - and when, for whatever reason such as personal choice or not racially belonging to a unique, distinct, collective, we are not so bound to a collective, we cannot fulfil our human Destiny of continuing the further evolution of our folk and of Nature.
Our Foremost Duty:
Thus, in contrast to all other beliefs, religions and philosophies, Folk Culture asserts that our purpose, our foremost duty, is to our folk, which is a living manifestation of Nature: which is Nature, living, thriving and evolving. And this duty comes before our own individual feelings, our own individual desires, our own individual happiness. Furthermore, Folk Culture asserts that whatever benefits Nature - and the cosmos - and which aids the evolution of Nature and the cosmos toward higher forms, toward more order, is good, and that whatever does not do this is bad, regardless of how this good and this bad affects the individuals of our species.
Thus the criteria which Folk Culture uses to judge all things is not the happiness of the individual, not the welfare, the survival, of individuals, but rather the prosperity, the welfare, of the collective to which the individual naturally belongs, and the higher collective which is Nature.
Our collective is the folk - the race - of our ancestors which Nature evolved and by which and in which the individual is joined to those ancestors, to Nature and thence to the very cosmos itself. And this joining is both of the past and the future: that is, it is a living nexus which affects the future.
The suppressed truth of our times - the real revolutionary heresy - is that the different races of our own human species represent Nature: how Nature exists; how Nature lives and strives to develope, on this planet which is our genesis. These different races are Nature made manifest, representing the very being of Nature, just as the diversity which exists on this planet represents the life, the being, of Nature: of how Nature - how the cosmos - works to produce change, evolution, and our very consciousness itself.
Fundamentally, we - we beings who can think, who possess will - are but part of the large collective which is Nature, which itself is divided into smaller collectives. We are but part of the living being which is Nature, and the health, the future, the very life, of this being depends upon us. We must cooperate together with the other living parts of the being which is Nature. An inexact analogy would be to consider Nature as a human-type being, composed of cells, with various organs, and limbs, and with blood circulating around the body of this being. All the parts of this being must cooperate together in the way they have evolved to do or else this being will not function properly, will not be healthy, and will die. Thus the limbs of this body will be the limbs; the heart will be the heart; the blood will be blood. And this blood will have the nature of blood, doing what blood does, for the benefit of the body as a whole. as the limbs will do what limbs do, for the benefit of the body as a whole.
That is, every living thing has a purpose, a rightful place, a natural Destiny to fulfil: a natural duty to do to ensure the health and evolution of the living beings which are our folk and the living being which is Nature which is the summation, the total, of these folks and all other life.
We must know how we relate to the life around us; we must know our Destiny, our duty: know what we should be doing. And we human beings know these things because of reason - indeed, our reason is Nature herself informing us of our duty, our purpose, our Destiny.
This duty is to our collective: to place ourselves where we belong, where Nature desires us to be. This duty is to be true to our ancestors, and to aid and work for our collective, for by doing this we are ensuring that Nature works as Nature should: that Nature is not only healthy but can also continue to evolve.
Individuality and the Neglect of Duty:
While it is an increasing fact of our modern times that individuals from different collectives marry and produce offspring, this is not acting in accord with the upward development of Nature and the cosmos because such acts - such an ignoring of the collective, of Nature - is a denial of those things which makes us human: our reason, and our ability to use our will to change ourselves by following what reason teaches us. Such things are a denial of our duty to Nature - a denial of our natural Destiny.
Reason leads us to conclude that not only is our collective a natural development of Nature - as is our reason and will - but also that we can develope further, we can evolve further, if we act in harmony with Nature: if we understand how and why we are linked to Nature, as living beings with the potential for evolution within us.
Our collective is a living being, just as Nature and the cosmos are living beings. And all these beings have potential to evolve further: to prosper, to produce more order, more life, more consciousness. In a very important sense when we are part of our collective, when we accept our duty to our collective and to Nature, we are the consciousness, the awareness, of Nature herself: we return to where we should be, an intrinsic, living, evolving, being who is but a living nexus between the past and the future which is possible.
When we accept Nature, the cosmos, ourselves and our collective, as they are, then we are fulfilling the purpose of our lives, and thus are Nature and the cosmos in evolution: Nature and the cosmos living, being, existing, as they should, as living beings striving to evolve further, striving to bring more order, more reason, more consciousness into existence.
When we do not live in such a way - when we live, for whatever reason, in a way contrary to this evolving mode of being, created via our connection to Nature and our collective, we are undermining and destroying Nature and the order, the evolution, the reason, the consciousness, which proceeds from Nature. The fundamental problem of our times and of the past few thousand years is our selfishness: of thinking of ourselves as mere isolated individuals, disconnected from Nature and the cosmos. So it is that individuals have pursued, and increasingly now pursue, their own selfish desires, just as all the beliefs, ways, ideas, philosophies and religions - with the exception of Folk Culture - urge and advise them to do this.
In terms of the inexact analogy used above regarding Nature as a human-type being, such selfish individuals are like disruptive mutating cells, which make Nature ill.
What it is vital to understand is that our reason, our will, our very human consciousness, enables us to know this and act upon it. That is, we have, as a result of evolution, a choice. We can change, through this choice, the outcome: we can determine whether Nature is healthy, or becomes sick and dies.
We can either aid Nature, and all the parts of Nature such as our own collective, or we can be selfish and disruptive. We can help Nature, and ourselves, to be healthy, vigorous and so continue evolution, or we can decide, through either ignorance or deliberate choice, to concentrate on ourselves, and so harm Nature, and our collective, and so prevent further evolution. Nature is waiting for us to make the choice, and act upon that choice. Her health, her future, depend on us.
Folk Culture is a means whereby we can understand the truths of our existence, as it shows us how we can and should act upon these truths. That is, Folk Culture is a means to end the ignorance about Nature, the ignorance about our true purpose, which blights this world. The fundamental truth which Folk Culture expresses is that we are a living nexus, connected to our ancestors, to their striving, their being, their ethos, their natural collective, and connected to the future, a future which is waiting for us to bring it into being: to create it, as we ourselves, as individuals joined with another individual of the opposite gender can bring forth a new human life.
The Nexus:
The fundamental and most important truth of our own existence is that we are a living nexus, a connection, between the past and the future, and that what we do, or do not do, affects the future of those beings to which we are joined. As a nexus, we have the potential to damage these other beings, or make them healthy. As a nexus, we are also unique on this planet because we have the capacity not only to understand ourselves and these other beings, but also to act upon this understanding: that is, to change ourselves for the better.
That is, we human beings are a special type of nexus: we are or can be creative in a way just as important as bringing forth new human beings through biological reproduction. For, as a vital part of the living being which is Nature, what we do, or do not do, affects Nature in a fundamental way. We were born, brought into being by Nature, to be this special type of nexus - to make the right choice concerning aiding, to creating, the further evolution of Nature.
This further evolution of Nature which is our human Destiny, our true purpose in life, is to aid diversity and difference - to strengthen and expand the collectives of Nature of which races are one manifestation, and to aid Nature to spread out from this planet. That is, the seed ourselves, and other Earth-life, on other planets so that such life will continue, to change, to evolve.
We must understand that any thing and every thing which does not represent a nexus between us and Nature - which does not enable us to be a living, evolving link between the past and the future - is wrong.
Our whole way of life, all our societies, our very thoughts, should be toward maintaining, and strengthening our links to our collective and thus to Nature so that we can fulfil the promise latent within us and create more order, more natural harmony, and more consciousness.
Thus any way of life, any view, any system, any society, any belief, any nation, which is not an expression, a manifestation, of the truths of Nature, of the collective, and of us as a nexus, is bad, and should be replaced with those things, those ways of being, of living, of thinking, which express the truths of the collective, of Nature, of the cosmos, and of the nexus itself.
