It has been a long time since I logged in. My first attempt to post a new thread failed. This is a test post to see whether my posting ability has been curtailed.

Sermon follows:

The conventional foolishness is that all monotheism is Jewish and the conventional fools assert that anyone who opposes Jewish wrongdoers ought to also oppose religion. I strongly feel that those who oppose Jewish wrongdoers should embrace spirituality as a source of strength; in particular, whites should embrace spiritual philosophies appropriate to whites. I argue that conservative whites of the 21st century should seriously contemplate ancient non-Jewish religions.

It is now widely recognized that the ancient Egyptians were similar to Irishmen in genetic composition. It is noteworthy that monotheism was originated in the doctrines of Akhenaten -- who, as far as I can tell, must be regarded as a white man. All currently available evidence suggests that a white man invented monotheism in the West.

I regard the Vedas as ethnically connected to ancient Europe. In my opinion, the ancient Western world was deeply connected to the Aryan tribes that invaded India and recited the Vedic scriptures. However, I recognize that the history and archaeology are difficult and obscure even for trained experts. At any rate, the doctrine of Brahman as a Supreme Being can be regarded as monotheistic, whether or not it is Western in origin.

For many years I have sought evidence that Greek cultures had monotheistic philosophies that did not rely on Egyptian sources. Of course, the dialogues of Plato represent Socrates as speaking of a supreme "God" that is written as "theos" not "Zeus," but as far as I can tell, those dialogues seem to present a late synthesis of Pythagoreanism, Eleusinian, and Orphic mysteries, rather than any sort of proto-monotheism.

However, I was recently delighted to stumble across a valuable contribution to white history on substack, as follows:

...as a philosopher of the Right, I believe that reconstructing pagan monotheism can make a valuable contribution towards what Nelson Elliott calls “alt-ecumenism.” Our current religious institutions have become corrupted by the forces that they ought to oppose, and right-wingers of very different religions nowadays have more in common with each other than with the members of corrupted sects that are nominally their own. Yet all too often there is mutual antagonism between right-wing Christianity and right-wing Paganism. This must be overcome. By reconstructing pagan monotheism, I hope to demonstrate that many right-wing Christians and Pagans are ultimately worshipping the same high and holy God, and by doing so improve comity among our allies.

Which Pagan Monotheism are we Reconstructing?

As my article last week discussed, pagan monotheism was not so much a religion as a collection of religions that extended across the entire Mediterranean over hundreds and possibly thousands of years. The vast scope of its practice makes a generalized reconstruction of pagan monotheism absurd. Therefore, we must narrow our focus to a particular branch on the tree of pagan monotheism. The branch I have decided to reconstruct is the Hypsistarian Church of God Most High, one of the most widespread and well-evidenced of the pagan monotheistic cults.

In reconstructing Hypsistarianism, I will be relying primarily on the archeological evidence for the worship of Theos Hypsistos that was assembled and analyzed by Stephen Mitchell in One God and Pagan Monotheism in Antiquity.
