Awake Goy 
By A. Rud Mills
(1) – Many thoughtful men have sought to find the closest sensibly describable point of contact of the sensible with the extra-sensible aspect of man. They have sought to find what place in man’s body the “soul” has its habitat.
(2) – Descartes thought the soul of man was located in the pineal gland. Animals and plants for him, being a Jesus-Christian, had in them no soul or phase of the Christos, so he excluded them from investigation and devoted himself to the only creature who according to the Christian attitude to reality had a soul, namely, man.
Some men think that the blood is closest to the spirit or extra-sensible. Some think it is the heart, some think it is the solar plexus, and some think it is the brain.
All of these thinkers seem to neglect the fact that each of these parts of the body is of all the other parts, and also is non-existent and unthinkable without reference to them. Under the Christian culture which is only sham-spiritual and is at basis materialistic and expressible in numbers and divisions, they seem to forget that one part of the body (as noted by our great ancestors and some of the Eleatics) is of the nature of and in another part… The-Force-of whom-we-are, or our Father-Spirit, evolving and expressing himself in us and living outside as well as in us, is impelling each and all of us to variable sensible manifestations of Himself and other forces in Wotan to whom he is in some way superior. He, through us and otherwise, is in contact with other powers in Wotan than He is.
(3) – It might be asked of these great men — “What are you seeking to find? Is it the extra-sensible of the bone in your arm; or is it the extra-sensible of your flesh; or the extra-sensible of your blood or of your heart, or of your brain or of your energy, or is it a localized habitat in your body of your extra-sensible will, or your emotion? But are you not,” it may be asked, “merely feeling an urge to find something which you feel ought to be found in order to justify the attitude to Reality you have adopted? Are you not confusedly thinking that if you found the part of your body which is chiefly under the control of the at-once-conscious-and-unconscious-ego you would understand how the spirit manipulates its so called opposite, i.e., the sensible body? Are you not labouring under the Duality error? Are you not dividing the the entity into exclusive soul and body. In any case you certainly have not found what you sought, whatever it may be.”
Are not your enquiries utterly pointless? Are they not enquiries made under the Socratian-Jesus-Paulian delusion that there are two separate worlds — body and spirit, or that Reality can be explained in divisions or in numbers?”
(4) – The fact is that each of these aspects of the body, bone, arm, brain, heart, etc., can be and is extended into extra-sensible reality. Contra-wise if its nature is sufficiently immediate a sensible thing may be contracted into an even greater measure of intra-sensible reality.
The most complex of the sensible is perhaps the blood or the brain or the nerve center near the heart, for injury to either of these makes the life depart quickest, but this fact does not deny the spirit to the other parts, rather does it emphasize their consonance and relationship with the spirit. So that in this aspect also the search for the portion of the body housing the soul is obviously made as a result of an initial confusion. Further, each aspect of the body has its own feature in the extra-sensible. Even Aristotle did not always perceive this demonstrable fact.
The search above indicated has its sanction only on the assumption that the Jesus-Christian attitude to God is the true one.
(5) – Every man of reasonably good brain and breeding is, in some measure, sensitive to the truth of extra-sensible facts. He perceives them consciously and unconsciously. Such perceptions are not in all cases reliable and beyond a point not far from the immediate, ought not to have acted upon. Man is most perceiving of those extra-sensible facts nearest to his senses, and in those which are the least complex, i.e., in that which is most in Time and which is least (as far as man’s perception goes and relative to his life or death) destroyed by Division.
We see the sensible evidence of powers existing beyond the sense. Some evidence more than other — the immediate more than the less-immediate… We can perceive the varieties and the relations between the varieties gathered in a central comprehensive power (or entity) and we can see such central power dwelling in a yet greater power, and so on.
In the poetic language of our ancestors, Wotan, the spirit-father of all forms of sensible phenomena (our Anglo-Saxon fore-fathers call Him the All-Father) who through comprehending the Earth marries with the Earth the mother of all, who expresses Wotan’s spirit in all sensible phenomena. Or again, the spirit Thor, son of Wotan, marries with the giantess (i.e., the power becomes joined with and becomes expressed in part, in sensible matter or in immediate Time… And, at death, each Wotan and the Earth, receive that of the entity which is His or its own.)
The spirit of Thor is in part expressed in every part of the sensible man, and every man is an individualized unit or entity in Wotan.
Beyond and expressing Himself in and through the-Wotan-and-the-Earth comes Another who is that other of Whom they both are, and of whom too every man is. The power of the strongest man is too limited to do much more than simply be aware of His existence. “Few men may further go than to where Wotan (good) meets the Wolf (evil).” (British Edda.)
(6) – At this latter aspectal point, man’s capacities for observation commence to falter, his direction commences to waver. The limits of the gard (realm) of mankind is at hand. Man must return to the fields of more immediacy in order to stand firm and perform his instinct-found duty to that wider vitality out yonder even if he cannot yet comprehend and know Him.
(7) – There are limits to man’s powers for the purpose of his earth-living… The “soul” is not the enemy of our “body” or vice versa. The division is only permissible in the most Immediate way, in the Less-immediate the idea becomes untrue and deadly. Even in the Immediate they are of each other and serve each other.
(8) – It seems that man’s observable capacity extends only to promoting certain forms of life and to defeating certain forms of death. Conflict is pressed upon us. The busy Loki in some form is everywhere. A financial system, a national system, a legal system, a man’s body, all have their Hoydir. At some time or other the Hoydir will turn upon man and rend him unless he is able to re-adjust his attitude to God’s vitality. The Loki or Hoydir is always there. Even attributes to a long life have their menace against life. Each, cell and the whole entity comprehending it, each bears its own enemy with it, an enemy that will reduce the entity to immediate time and death, a death which according to the sphere concerned, may carry with it the affairs of men.
There is only one way of life, and that is by keeping as close adherence and relationship as possible to the ascertainable ways of God. If man does his part in this, he will have done all he may do. He will have thus found his gard in God, and he can safely leave the rest to Him.
The sense-perceived man is merely the sensible evidence of a spirit comprehending lesser spirits and expressing itself in man, making him an entity in Time charged with a high purpose and the donee of a wondrous privilege.
