Traditionalist, futurist strikes me as Hegelian. We are now waiting for the synthesis...

Not if time is cyclical. Hegel's history of being as the idea is Ontology, becoming of the absolute idea, Heidegger's history of Beyng ( Beyng = primordial Being) is fundamental-ontology, it is always primordial beyng speaking through history as the idea, being, petrifies, not the idea evolving, and if we hear that, we move toward ANOTHER BEGINNING, not progress. To be a traditionalist futurist could be articulated as to hold the candle protected and prepare the way for another beginning (in primordial being) without the burden of petrified categories of ideas and things. Then we start again without taking Beyng as another thing.

eternal return guarantees victory and guarantees defeat. we all leviathan now. make art for the gods that were, are and will be. toiling in the hills is not the same as authentic living. you don't need a new religion. the old works because no return is coming home again. meanwhile the hobbit still finds all roads lead home.

@astralflight You mentioned an essay (or speech) by Jung, something about the meaning of psychology (?) today (also mentioned finding it on archive dot org, iirc) -- search results are polluted by countless pop magazine articles about Jung. If it's online, would appreciate a link.
